Middle layer composition for trilayer patterning stack
Methods and materials for making a semiconductor device are described. The method includes forming a middle layer (ML) of a patterning stack (e.g., a tri-layer patterning stack such as a tri-layer resist) and forming a photoresist layer directly on the middle layer. The middle layer includes an additive component having a photo base generator (PBG). The substrate including the photoresist layer and the middle layer is then exposed to a radiation. A covalent bond between the ML and the photoresist layer may be formed.
