A method for optical proximity correction (OPC) or MDP is also disclosed, in which a preliminary set of charged particle beam shots is generated using a preliminary mask model, and then the shots are modified by calculating both a reticle pattern using a final mask model, and a resulting substrate pattern. A method for OPC is also disclosed, in which an ideal pattern for a photomask is calculated from a desired substrate pattern, where the model used in the calculation includes only optical lithography effects and/or substrate processing effects. | 2016-11-17 |
20160334701 | PHOTOCURABLE COMPOSITION FOR NANOIMPRINTING, AND METHOD FOR FORMING FINE PATTERN USING THE SAME - Provided is a photocurable composition that is used for nanoimprinting and can give, on a wafer, a uniform thin film that maintains a uniform thickness without causing uneven resin distribution even after being left stand for a certain time and still enables transfer of, and formation of, a fine pattern with good precision from a mold onto the thin film. The photocurable composition for nanoimprinting includes components (A), (B), (C), and (D) and includes the component (C) in a content of 1 to 30 weight percent based on the total amount (100 weight percent) of the photocurable composition. The component (A) is a cationically curable compound represented by Formula (1). The component (B) is a cationic photoinitiator. The component (C) is a hydroxy-containing solvent having a boiling point of 100° C. to 210° C. (at 760 mmHg). The component (D) is a solvent that is devoid of hydroxy, has a boiling point of 140° C. to 210° C. (at 760 mmHg), and has monomer solubility in terms of solubility parameter of 8.0 to 10.0 (cal/cm | 2016-11-17 |

20160334704 | DIAZO-RESIN, PHOTORESIST COMPOSITION AND METHOD OF PREPARING SAME - Diazo-resin-containing photoresist compositions and methods of preparing the same are provided for solving the problem that existing diazo-resins cannot be applied in LCD photoresists because the storage periods of the diazo-resins themselves and the printed boards made thereby are both short due to poor thermal stability of the diazo-resins. The diazo-resins of the present invention have excellent thermal stability and exhibit strong resistance to dry etching when being used in negative photoresists, while high resolution can be achieved. Meanwhile, during exposure, portions of the diazo-resins can crosslink with hydrogen bonds on surface of SiO or SiON film forming a barrier layer or passivation layer, such that the adhesion between the photoresists and the film layer is increased, and the photoresists would not peel during development. Thus, the utilization of tackifiers for enhancing the adhesion between a photoresist and surface of SiO or SiON film before masking can be omitted. | 2016-11-17 |
