Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to an iodine-containing metal compound, a metal-containing thin film deposition composition containing the same, and a method for manufacturing a metal-containing thin film using the thin film deposition composition. Background Art

[0002] As a chemically amplified resist (CAR) which is currently used as a photoresist, it is designed for high sensitivity. However, since a general elemental structure (mainly C having smaller quantities of O, F, and S) makes the photoresist too transparent at a wavelength of 13.5 nm, a phenomenon of reduced sensitivity occurs.

[0003] In addition, it has been reported that CAR reduces process efficiency due to roughness problems in fine feature sizes, or increases line edge roughness (LER) as the photospeed decreases in a process using an acid catalyst. To solve this problem, inorganic compounds for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography are required (Korean Patent Publication No. KR10-2022-0000366A). Summary of the Invention
