Enhancing Materials for Hi-Res Patterning to Advance Microelectronics

Going forward, the team will study how the hybrid resists respond to EUV exposure. They have already started using soft x-rays (energy range corresponding to the wavelength of EUV light) at Brookhaven’s National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II), and hope to use a dedicated EUV beamline operated by the Center for X-ray Optics at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab’s Advanced Light Source (ALS) in collaboration with industry partners.
“The energy absorption by the organic layer of EUVL resists is very weak,” said Nam. “Adding inorganic elements, such as tin or zirconium, can make them more sensitive to EUV light. We look forward to exploring how our approach can address the resist performance requirements of EUVL.”
Both NSLS-II and ALS are DOE Office of Science User Facilities. The other co-authors are CFN scientists Kim Kisslinger, Ming Lu, and Aaron Stein; and Ashwanth Subramanian, a PhD student in the Department of Materials Science and Chemical Engineering at Stony Brook University and a graduate research assistant at the CFN.

Happy’s Tech Talk #38: Novel Metallization for UHDI
05/07/2025 | Happy Holden -- Column: Happy’s Tech TalkI have been involved in high-density electronics substrates since 1970 when I joined Hewlett-Packard’s RF semiconductor group after college. Figure 1 shows the difference between trace/space lithography for substrates and silicon starting in 1970. My projects involved sapphire circuits for RF devices, but the figure displays the state of PCBs and integrated CMOS circuits and their packaging, not discreet RF devices. Even then, semiconductors were 50X higher density.
