Abstract
In the development of highly resolving and highly sensitive resist materials, stochastic phenomena (LER and stochastic defect generation) are a critical issue. In this study, the dependence of the transient swelling layer formation of resist backbone polymer on its molecular weight and dispersion was investigated for the development of highly resolving resist materials. The dissolution kinetics was measured for different molecular weights and dispersions using quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) method. The relationship between transient swelling layer and stochastic defect formation is discussed.
