Different dry developable resist systems operating in positive bilayer (Si-CARL) and negative top surface imaging (Top-CARL) modes were investigated for application in 248 nm Lithography. After exposure with the KrF excimer laser projection aligned (NA=0.37), development, aqueous silylation and oxygen reactive ion etching, 0.25 μm structures were obtained as the ultimate resolution of Si-CARL with a tourists containing diazoketone photoactive compounds. The process latitudes for 0.4 μm and 0.5 μm lines and spaces amount to 25% and 30% for exposure and to 3 μm and 3.2 μm for defocus, respectively. Comparable values were determined for an alternative Si-CARL system with a new acid catalysed topresit. The required doses for zero bias exposure are 65-70 mJ/cm^2 (diazoketone) and 21 mJ/cm^2 (acid catalysed.) The Top-CARL resist also utilizes the acid catalysed deprotection chemistry for selective silylation of the exposed areas. The preliminary formulation presented well-shaped 0.35 μm structures at 10 mJ/cm^2.
