One of the most important parameters in the design of photoresist materials is the absorption coefficient of a polymer because, if the polymer is not transparent enough, the resist pattern deteriorates. Thus, as the starting point of our theoretical study on ELJV and VUV resist polymers, we have performed an estimation of photo-absorption in these wavelength regions. The absorption coefficients of about 150 polymers were calculated using the mass absorption coefficients of Henke et al. (1993). It is found that the inclusion of fluorine atoms in a polymer significantly increases the absorption, whereas the inclusion of aromatic rings reduces it. In addition, polymers containing silicon atoms are generally more transparent than those consisting of C, H, and O (and N) atoms.","PeriodicalId":120440,"journal":{"name":"Digest of Papers.

It is a revolutionary approach which addresses the issues of device density and power dissipation. With a dot size of 20 nm an entire full adder would occupy only one square micron, and the power delay product is as low as a few kT. A basic QCA cell consists of four quantum dots coupled capacitively and by tunnel barriers. The cell is biased to contain two excess electrons within the four dots, which are forced to opposite \"corners\" of the four-dot system by Coulomb repulsion. These two possible polarization states of the cell represent logic \"0\" and \"1\". Properly arranged, arrays of these basic cells can implement Boolean logic functions. We present experimental results from functional QCA devices built of nanoscale metal dots defined by tunnel barriers.","PeriodicalId":120440,"journal":{"name":"Digest of Papers.
