Absorbing compounds for spin-on-glass anti-reflective coatings for photolithography

摘要

An absorbing ether-like compound including a siliconethoxy, silicondiethoxy, or silicontriethoxy species attached to a naphthalene or anthracene chromophore via an oxygen linkage is used as an organic light-absorbing compound. The absorbing ether-like compound is incorporated into spin-on glass materials to provide anti-reflective coating materials for deep ultraviolet photolithography. A method of synthesizing the light-absorbing ether compounds is based on the reaction of an alcohol-substituted chromophore with an acetoxysilicon compound in the presence of alcohol. A method of making absorbing spin-on-glass materials including the absorbing ether-like compounds is also provided.
