AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When using a substrate containing nitrogen atoms, the precision of the photoresist pattern in the existing photoresist underlayer film is easily affected by the diffusion of amine components, resulting in reduced resolution, which further decreases after long-term storage.

Method used

A composition for forming a photoresist underlayer film, comprising a polymer and a crosslinking agent, wherein the polymer contains a unit structure with a polycyclic aromatic structure and the crosslinking agent has reactive groups, is used to form a photoresist underlayer film on a nitrogen-containing substrate, thereby inhibiting the diffusion of amine components and improving pattern accuracy.

Benefits of technology

It effectively inhibits the reduction in resist resolution caused by amine diffusion, ensuring that the resolution of the underlying resist film does not easily decrease after long-term storage, thus improving the precision of the photolithography process.
