摘要
Adhesion characteristics of a photoresist thin film baked onto a spin-on SiO2 layer at 80 to 325-degrees-C are studied in a tetramethyl-ammonium-hydroxide (TMAH) developer. The maximum value of adhesion strength is observed in the temperature range of 150 to 250-degrees-C. It is found that the surface energy model cannot explain all of the experimental results. The following two models are introduced as new adhesion factors: (i) decrease of surface energy of the TMAH developer due to dissolution of a photoresist into it above 250-degrees-C and (ii) decrease of mechanical strength of a photoresist pattern by swelling under 150-degrees-C.
