Spin curve
Thermal stability and shrinking up to 300 °C
Developed lines with a width of 10 – 20 μm were hardened by flood exposure and subsequent bake step. These lines were tempered stepwise until 300 °C. Up to a temperature of 200 °C, structures remain more or less unchanged.
Structure resolution
3 μm resolution at a film thickness of 15 μm
Process parameters
- ResistAR-N 4400-10
- SubstrateSi 4“ Wafer
- Tempering95 °C, 10 min, hot plate
- ExposureMaskaligner MJB 3, Kontaktbelichtung
- DevelopmentAR 300-47, pur, 3 min, 22 °C
Sensitivity
The sensitivity increases constantly with increasing bake temperatures (broadband UV Maskeliner, thickness 5.0 μm)
Time for complete development
At a film thickness of 5 μm, 1.0 μm bars were produced
Gradation curve
The gradation (contrast) is 3.5, the sensitivity was determined to 21.5 mJ/cm2 for a structure buildup of 90 % (H090).
