Abstract
This paper investigates the thermal process conditions of the Bottom A nti-Reflective Layer for i-Line lithography (BARLi) using various char acterization techniques such as TGA and WCM (Tg). The thermal modifica tions of the material are related to the variations in its functional properties, namely degree of solubility, absorption, thickness and ref lectivity. A thermal process window is defined to obtain a maximum imp rovement from this technology.
