Abstract:
The disclosure provides methods and compositions therefor for treating a surface wherein a surface treatment layer is formed on the surface, thereby minimizing or preventing pattern collapse as the surface is subjected to typical cleaning steps in the semiconductor manufacturing process.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for treating a semiconductor substrate having a pattern disposed on a surface of the substrate, comprising:\n contacting the surface with a surface treatment composition, wherein the surface treatment composition comprises at least one aprotic solvent and at least one surface treatment agent, the at least one surface treatment agent comprises a Si-containing compound, and the surface treatment composition forms a surface treatment layer on the surface such that the surface has a water contact angle of at least about 50 degrees; wherein the pattern comprises a feature having a dimension of at most about 20 nm.
