Abstract

See full text

The invention includes semiconductor constructions containing optically saturable absorption layers. An optically saturable absorption layer can be between photoresist and a topography, with the topography having two or more surfaces of differing reflectivity relative to one another. The invention also includes methods of patterning photoresist in which a saturable absorption layer is provided between the photoresist and a topography with surfaces of differing reflectivity, and in which the differences in reflectivity are utilized to enhance the accuracy with which an image is photolithographically formed in the photoresist.
