Recent research has demonstrated that amides can accelerate deprotonation of radical cations [14] that form along the polymer backbone upon exposure to EUV. This feature helps to prevent recombination with other radicals and increases acid generation, thereby enhancing sensitivity [15]. Our goal in these studies was to design peptoids that incorporate chemical moieties adapted to functions such as adhesion to the underlying substrate, etch resistance, and solubility switching. As the peptoids examined are 10-mers, the structure of the side chains is also carefully chosen to avoid crystallization and tune the glass transition temperature. Protecting groups serving as solubility switches were selected with the goal of groups that possessed a high radical cation acidity, a property previously shown to correlate closely with the sensitivity of EUV resists. While these initial results show the potential of peptoids as photoresist materials, the ongoing research is still at an initial stage.","PeriodicalId":16810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Photopolymer Science and Technology","volume":"80 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86154672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such fiber matrices are particularly required for printing two dimensional code marks by using them as new lithography tools combining with light emitting diodes. A large number of fibers with a diameter of 500 µm were packed in an oblong slit of a jig, and fiber ends were simultaneously transformed into square shapes by heating the jig on a hotplate. Next, three linear arrays, each composed of 10 fibers, were simply stacked and bound without coating any adhesives and/or opaque films. It was anticipated that light leaks from neighbored bright fibers degraded the printed pattern qualities. However, checker patterns were normally printed without influenced by neighbored bright fibers when the fiber ends were projected on a wafer through a 1/10 projection lens. Considering the advantages, a regularly arranged 10×10 fiber matrix was fabricated on trial for demonstrating the availability of the matrix required for developing a matrix-exposure lithography system.","PeriodicalId":16810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Photopolymer Science and Technology","volume":"102 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80625316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two high-speed video cameras with collimating LED light sources and an evanescent field on a prism enabled us to observe brush nodule deformation and contact area. Deformation analysis showed that the volume of a roller-type brush changes gradually at the beginning of compression, deforms more when vertically pushed at maximum compression, and then recovers rapidly at the end of compression. The brush contact area changes according to the brush and wafer rotation speed. The contact area can be categorized into three: the front, rear side face in the brush traveling direction, and vertically pushed bottom face on the surface. We analyzed the three types of brush contacts on a 100 mm type wafer and observed that the vertical compression type significantly affected the cross-contamination region.","PeriodicalId":16810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Photopolymer Science and Technology","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74006296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also compared the behavior of the copolymers with those of polymer blends of poly(butyl acrylate) and linear PPA polymers to clarify the role of polymerization. Higher peel strengths were observed for copolymers than those of corresponding polymer blends. As an increase in irradiation time, the strength generally decreased, although once increased for the copolymer films at the early stage. These results suggest that the introduction and the depolymerization of PPA side-chains caused drastic changes in adhesive properties.","PeriodicalId":16810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Photopolymer Science and Technology","volume":"144 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74249396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Eight types of polyimides were prepared from different combinations of monomers and tested as the bottom layer for the microphase separation of PS- b -PMMA. The surface free energies of those polyimide substrates were evaluated by the Owens-Wendt method. Thin films of PS- b -PMMA were prepared on the polyimide substrates and the self-assembly was induced by thermal annealing, and the surface architecture was observed by atomic force microscopy. In the tested polyimide substrates, only one from 2,2-bis[4-(3,4-dicarboxyphenoxy) phenyl]propane dianhydride (tetracarboxylic dianhydride) and 1,12-bis (4-aminophenoxy) dodecane (diamine) showed a perpendicularly oriented lamellar structure. This polyimide substrate shows one of the smallest polar components in its surface free energy. Relatively large domain size and long correlation length in the PS- b -PMMA layer were obtained by optimizing the conditions for fabrication of the polyimide substrate, which were prepared by casting the polyimide onto a silicon wafer, followed by thermal annealing. These results suggest that the combination of one monomer with relatively large molecular weight, which will result in a low density of imide groups, and the other monomer with long alkyl chains, which will reduce the polarity of the resulting polyimide, contributes to providing a perpendicular orientation.","PeriodicalId":16810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Photopolymer Science and Technology","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73034268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
