Patent ID: 10990013

Abstract:
A method for forming a semiconductor device structure is provided. The method includes forming a material layer over a substrate and forming a resist layer over the material layer. The resist layer includes an inorganic material and an auxiliary. The inorganic material includes a plurality of metallic cores and a plurality of first linkers bonded to the metallic cores. The method includes exposing a portion of the resist layer. The resist layer includes an exposed region and an unexposed region. In the exposed region, the auxiliary reacts with the first linkers. The method also includes removing the unexposed region of the resist layer by using a developer to form a patterned resist layer. The developer includes a ketone-based solvent having a formula (a), wherein R1 is linear or branched C1-C5 alkyl, and R2 is linear or branched C3-C9 alkyl.
