Abstract

A kind of photoactive polymer with diazoketo groups in its side chains has been reported in SPIE and other related papers, and this photoactive polymer can be used in deep UV non-CARs (non-chemically amplified resists) system. Based on the work above, a series of novel photoactive monomers with substituents like phenyl, p-methylphenyl, p-methoxyphenyl, p-dimethylaminophenyl on the end of the molecule are designed and synthesized. By changing their substituents, the maximum-absorption wavelength of the photoactive monomers has been moved to 356nm, and it still has comparatively large absorption at 365nm (I-line). A series of photoactive polymers were obtained by polymerizing the monomer with methyl methacrylate and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate together. Upon irradiaton in the waveleng of 365nm, the diazoketo groups which are in the side chains of the photoactive polymers undergo the wolff rearrangment and afford ketens that react with water to provide base-soluble photoproducts. Applying this kind of photoactive polymers to non-CARs, a positive image can be obtained. This kind of photoactive polymers have great value in I-line non-CARs, TFT-LCD and IC discrete devices processing. And its anti-dry etching ability is enhanced by the introduction of the benzene ring.
