R. Leuschner et al., PATTERNING OF ORGANIC LAYERS USING NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE WORKING TOP-CARL PROCESS, Microelectronic engineering, 21(1-4), 1993, pp. 255-258
The Top-CARL process is a technique for patterning of some ten microns
thick organic materials by top resist silylation and pattern transfer
via oxygen reactive ion etching. The influence of exposure dose, temp
erature and the top resist layer thickness on the silylation process i
s studied. A dyed version of the resist is examined. Its polarity can
be changed from negative to positive working by addition of a small am
ount of a photobase.
