PHOTORESIST COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF FABRICATING A SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18056332 titled 'PHOTORESIST COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF FABRICATING A SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of the patent application describes a photoresist composition that includes a photosensitive polymer, a photoacid generator (PAG), and a solvent.
- The photosensitive polymer contains a repeating unit of Chemical Formula 1.
- The photoacid generator (PAG) is included to enhance the photosensitivity of the composition.
- The solvent is used to dissolve the polymer and PAG, creating a homogeneous mixture.
Potential Applications
This technology has potential applications in various fields, including:
- Semiconductor manufacturing: The photoresist composition can be used in lithography processes to pattern semiconductor devices.
- Printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing: The composition can be used to create circuit patterns on PCBs.
- Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS): The photoresist composition can be utilized in the fabrication of MEMS devices.
Problems Solved
The technology addresses the following problems:
- Lack of photosensitivity: The inclusion of a photoacid generator (PAG) enhances the photosensitivity of the composition, allowing for more precise patterning.
- Inhomogeneous mixture: The solvent helps dissolve the photosensitive polymer and PAG, ensuring a homogeneous mixture that can be easily applied.
Benefits
The technology offers several benefits:
- Improved patterning accuracy: The enhanced photosensitivity of the composition enables more precise patterning of features.
- Ease of application: The homogeneous mixture created by the solvent allows for easy application of the photoresist composition.
- Versatility: The composition can be used in various manufacturing processes, making it suitable for different applications.
