Abstract

A photoresist is disclosed. The photoresist includes a polymer with one repeating unit and an absorbing unit.

Claims (16)

1. A photoresist, comprising:

a polymer with one repeating unit; and

an absorbing unit, wherein the absorbing unit includes an element selected from the group consisting of Bi, Co, Fe and Ge.

2. The photoresist of claim 1 , wherein portions of the polymer that are exposed to EUV become soluble to a developer.

3. The photoresist of claim 1 , wherein portions of the polymer that are not exposed to EUV are not soluble to a developer.

4. A photoresist, comprising:

a copolymer that includes two repeating units and a polymer that includes alpha-methyl styrene; and

an absorbing unit, wherein the absorbing unit includes an element selected from the group consisting of Bi, Co, Fe and Ge.

5. The photoresist of claim 4 , wherein portions of the photoresist that are exposed to EUV become soluble to a developer.

6. The photoresist of claim 4 , wherein portions of the phototresist that are not exposed to EUV are not soluble to a developer.

7. A photoresist, comprising:

a polymer with one repeating unit; and

an absorbing unit, wherein the absorbing unit includes Br.

8. The photoresist of claim 7 , wherein the Br is configured to cause increased secondary electron generation.

9. The photoresist of claim 7 , wherein portions of the polymer that are exposed to EUV become soluble to a developer.

10. The photoresist of claim 7 , wherein portions of the polymer that are not exposed to EUV are not soluble to a developer.
