A new model for photoresist dissolution rate as a function of photoactive c
ompound concentration is presented. This semiempirical model combines eleme
nts of previous kinetic models in order to better fit recent experimental d
issolution rate behavior. In particular, rate data exhibiting a dissolution
notch can be well fit by this model. (C) 1998 The Electrochemical Society.
