Chemically amplified resist (CAR) materials are widely used in advanced node patterning by extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL). To support the continuous requirement of reducing critical dimension (CD), CAR has been designed to process at tens of nanometer coating thickness while taking into consideration film roughness, aspect ratio, and etch transfer challenge. In this study, we investigated the impact of the photoresist’s different spin speed for same film thickness on resolution, line width roughness, and sensitivity (RLS) trade-off for Line and Space (L/S) patterns. We selected photoresists with identical chemical composition that differed only in total wt solid% in the solution. Photoresist films at constant thickness were investigated for the spin speed impacts on photoresist film density, hydrophobicity on the film surface, and film surface roughness. The corresponding EUV lithographic performance will be presented.
