Abstract

The changes in the chemical and optical properties of the thin (8001200 A) layers of As2S3 after exposure with photons (1 to 40 J/cm2) electrons (3. 2. 1O to 1. 28 102 C/cm2) or soft Xradiation (0. 1 to 1 1 1 . 0 J/cm2) are studied. The structural changes occurring after exposure lead to changes in the alkaline stability of the exposed regions. The optimum exposure doses for As 25 3 layers are determined allowing their use for ebeam and xray lithographic purposes. The high stability of the layers to a great number of acid etchers used in microelectronic technologies and the stability in TUE conditions in oxygen medium make the layers accomplishing microlithographic tasks.
