Various high sensitive electron-beam resists have been reported to be developed. Some of these electron-beam resists can also be applied to X-ray exposure system. However, because of their poor characteristics for X-ray absorption, most of them often show low sensitivity. Poly-1, 3-dichloro-2-propyl acrylate (1, 3-DCPA) enhances absorption at 4.37A of palladium (PdLα) X-ray and show higher X-ray sensitivity, due to the presence of chlorine atom. It is one of the fast negative X-ray resists which show good overall characteristics.
This paper presents experimental results of 1, 3-DCPA which is fabricated in our certain technological process. Sensitivity of the developed resist to Pd X-ray at 4.37A was determined to be 20-30mJ/cm2. When 1, 3-DCPA was applied to the projection lithography, where the gap between mask and silicon wafer was about 30μm, resolution was found to be 1-2μ and contrast to be 0.8-1.0. A new type of high sensitive X-ray negative resist, 1, 3-DCPA, was then developed to meet the requirements of domestics research on X-ray exposure and tests on X-ray exposure technological process.
