Patent ID: 11651961

Abstract:
A lithography method includes forming a bottom anti-reflective coating (BARC) layer on a substrate, wherein the BARC layer includes an organic polymer and a reactive chemical group having at least one of chelating ligands and capping monomers, wherein the reactive chemical group is bonded to the organic polymer; coating a metal-containing photoresist (MePR) layer on the BARC layer, wherein the MePR being sensitive to an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation; performing a first baking process to the MePR layer and the BARC layer, thereby reacting a metal chemical structure of the MePR layer and the reactive chemical structure of the BARC layer and forming an interface layer between the MePR layer and the BARC layer; performing an exposure process using the EUV radiation to the MePR layer; and developing the MePR layer to form a patterned photoresist layer.
