Abstract
We present the synthesis and preliminary lithographic evaluation of Molecular Organometallic Resists for EUV (MORE) that contain post-transition metals. These elements have high EUV optical density so they can utilize a large fraction of the incident photons. We will describe two technical approaches for EUV resist platforms that contain bismuth. Approach 1: Combination of organometallic compounds with photoacid generators. Approach 2: Combination of high-oxidation state metal-center oligomers that utilize carboxylate anions bound to the metal centers.
