8 May 2012Development of water-developable resist material derived from biomass in EB lithography
A water developable, non-chemically amplified, high sensitive, and negative tone resist material in the
developable process of EB lithography was investigated for environmental affair, safety, easiness of
handling, and health of the working people, instead of the common developable process of
trimethylphenylammonium hydroxide or resist solvents. The material design concept to use the plantbased
resist material derived from biomass was proposed. A novel high-sensitive negative tone of plantbased
resist material with the sugar chain structure derived from biomass on underlayer was demonstrated
in EB lithography for the future production of optical and electronic devices. The 400 nm line patterning
images with exposure dose of 7.0 μC/cm2 were provided by specific process conditions of EB lithography
for optical and electronic devices.
