Abstract
An EUV photoresist composition includes paramagnetic particles that are adapted to block EUV radiation. The magnetic manipulation of the paramagnetic particles within a deposited layer of EUV photoresist can beneficially impact focus control and the achievable line width roughness during subsequent photolithographic processing. A spin-coating apparatus for dispensing the EUV photoresist composition onto a substrate includes a plurality of concentric electromagnets located beneath the substrate that influence the distribution of the paramagnetic particles in the photoresist layer.
