Abstract
Positive resist coated wafers were Immersed in a dilute alkaline base developer, such as 5:1 AZ351, for a short period of time prior to exposure. The purpose of this sequence was to improve development rate discrimination of conventional positive photoresist, which will enhance step coverage. A SEM comparison of a 5 mIcron line/space pair pattern of AZ13SO resist on a 1.2 micron step, showed this pre-treatment yields improved step coverage compared to a conventional process.
