Paper Abstract
Current extreme ultraviolet (EUV) photoresist materials do not yet meet requirements on exposure-dose sensitivity,
line-width roughness (LWR), and resolution. Fundamental studies are required to quantify the trade-offs in materials
properties and processing steps for EUV photoresist specific problems such as high photoacid generator (PAG) loadings
and the use of very thin films. Furthermore, new processing strategies such as changes in the developer strength and
composition may enable increased resolution. In this work, model photoresists are used to investigate the influence of
photoacid generator loading and developer strength on EUV lithographically printed images. Measurements of line
width roughness and developed line-space patterns were performed and highlight a combined PAG loading and
developer strength dependence that reduce LWR in a non-optimized photoresist.
