Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03102694A1] The invention relates to a photosensitive lacquer (100) for providing a coating on a semiconductor substrate or a mask. The lacquer according to the invention comprises a photosensitive acidifier (D), a solvent (E) and at least two different base polymers. A first base polymer comprises cyclo-aliphatic basic structures (A) which substantially absorb light irradiated thereon at 248 nm and which are substantially transparent to light irradiated at 193 nm. A second base polymer comprises aromatic basic structures (B) which substantially absorb light irradiated thereon at 193 nm and which are substantially transparent to light irradiated at 248 nm. When such a lacquer (100) is applied to a substrate in a layer thickness of 50 to 400 nm and the percentage of the second base polymer comprising the aromatic basic structures is between 1 and 25 mole- %, and when exposed to a wavelength of 193 nm, a higher structure contrast and better etching stability is reached and defects are reduced. Exposure across the entire depth range of the lacquer (100) is likewise ensured.
