Abstract

See full text

The invention provides a process for the generation of an antireflective bottom layer with effective reduction of substrate reflectivity and swing curve effects in lithographic applications. It involves the use of a suitably selected monomeric and/or polymeric dye which brings the real part of the refractive index into a range which is optimal for the suppression of reflection-related effects. The refractive index change is effected via anomalous dispersion, i.e., by utilizing changes in the real part of the refractive index caused by the bottom layer's absorption.
