A method of coupling a diazonium salt with an organic polymer comprising, on order, the steps of: providing a polymer in one liquid phase; providing an diazonium salt in a separate liquid phase; contacting the separate phases, and thereby reacting the polymer and the diazonium salt.

Method for synthesizing polymeric AZO dyes

The present invention relates to a novel antireflective coating solution and a process for its use in photolithography. The antireflective coating solution comprises a novel polymer and an organic solvent or mixture of solvents, where the novel polymer comprises a unit containing a dye that absorbs from about 180 nm to about 450 nm and does not contain a crosslinking group.

Antireflective coating for photoresist compositions

The present invention relates to an antireflective coating composition comprising a novel polymer in a solvent composition. The invention further comprises processes for using the antireflective coating composition in photolithography. The antireflective coating composition comprises a novel polymer and a solvent composition, where the novel polymer of the antireflective coating comprises at least one unit containing a dye that absorbs from about 180 nm to about 450 nm and at least one unit that contains no aromatic funtionality. The solvent may be organic, preferrably, a solvent of low toxicity, or it may be water, which may additionally contain other water miscible organic solvents.

Antireflective coating compositions for photoresist compositions and use

The present invention relates to a novel polymer suitable for use as an antireflective coating or as an additive in photoresist for absorption of reflected light. The novel polymer comprises at least one unit containing a dye that absorbs from about 180 nm to about 450 nm and at least one unit that contains no aromatic funtionality. The polymer is soluble in organic solvents, preferrably solvents of low toxicity, or it may be soluble in water, which may additionally contain other water miscible organic solvents.

Light absorbing polymers

A light-sensitive positive photoresist composition containing a film forming resin, a photoactive compound, a solvent, and an arylhydrazo dye. The dyed photoresist reduces the linewidth variation of the resist pattern on a reflective substrate while giving good lithographic performance.

Light sensitive composition containing an arylhydrazo dye

The present invention relates to a novel antireflective coating solution and a process for its use in photolithography. The antireflective coating solution comprises a novel polymer and an organic solvent or a mixture of organic solvents, where the novel polymer comprises a unit containing a dye that absorbs from about 180 nm to about 450 nm and a unit containing a crosslinking group.

The present invention relates to a novel aqueous antireflective coating solution and a process for its use in photolithography. The antireflective coating solution comprises a novel polymer and water, where the novel polymer of the antireflective coating comprises at least one unit containing a dye that absorbs from about 180 nm to about 450 nm, at least one unit containing a crosslinking group and at least one unit derived from a hydrophilic vinyl monomer or a vinyl monomer capable of becoming hydrophilic.
