Planarizing anti-reflective coating layer with improved light absorption

摘要

Instead of a single anti-reflective coating layer of medium viscosity employed according to prior art, the present invention discloses providing two anti-reflective coating layers one after the other. The first layer (ARC1) consists of a material of low viscosity and the second layer (ARC2) consists of a material of high viscosity or vice versa, thereby allowing for conformal deposition all over the surface of a semiconductor product as well as for improved planarizing performance at the same time.
