V. Sailhan et al., PRELIMINARY-STUDY OF MICROLITHOGRAPHIC PR OPERTIES OF A RESIN WITH A POLYIMIDE AND A BIS-AZIDE SENSITIVE TO FAR-ULTRAVIOLET, Die Angewandte makromolekulare Chemie, 242, 1996, pp. 65-84
A preliminary study of the microlithographic properties of resins obta
ined by mixing a polyimide with a bis-azide has shown the possibility
to be used in the far UV. The solutions of the resins are easily proce
ssed to give films with a good control of the thickness. Moreover, the
films obtained are sensitive to UV irradiation at 254 nm. The irradia
ted parts are insoluble in a mixture of solvents constituted of water
and dioxane or water and 1-N-methylpyrrolidone, whereas the non-irradi
ated regions are soluble in these solvent mixtures.
