Photoresist pattern trimming compositions and pattern formation methods

Photoresist pattern trimming compositions comprise a polymer, an aromatic sulfonic acid, and an organic-based solvent system, wherein the polymer comprises polymerized units of general formulas (I) and (II):wherein: X independently represents a halogen atom; Q represents a single bond, -O-, or -C(O)...

Zusammenfassung:Photoresist pattern trimming compositions comprise a polymer, an aromatic sulfonic acid, and an organic-based solvent system, wherein the polymer comprises polymerized units of general formulas (I) and (II):wherein: X independently represents a halogen atom; Q represents a single bond, -O-, or -C(O)O-; R1 independently represents hydrogen, a halogen atom, C1-C12 alkyl or C1-C12 fluoroalkyl; R2 represents C1-C3 alkyl or C1-C3 fluoroalkyl; and m is an integer from 0 to 4; and wherein the polymerized units of general formula (I) are present in the polymer in an amount of 10 to 90 mol % and the polymerized units of general formula (II) are present in the polymer in an amount from 10 to 60 mol %, based on total polymerized units of the polymer. The photoresist pattern trimming compositions and their use in pattern formation methods find particular applicability in the manufacture of semiconductor devices.
