Abstract

The versatility of e-beam processing provides the capability of tailoring the properties of spin-on polymers. Using different e-beam processing schemes, one can obtain a variety of films such as a homogeneous film with modified properties from the original, a film with variable properties as a function of depth, or a film having two distinct layers. In this paper, we demonstrated how to utilize this advantage of e-beam process to facilitate integration of spin-on polymers in the back-end-of-line manufacturing.
