Method for coating ultra-thin resist films

摘要

There is provided a method for applying a lower viscosity coating liquid onto a semiconductor wafer substrate so as to prevent adhesion loss and to maintain low defect level characteristics. This is achieved by priming the substrate with a bonding agent at a temperature in the range of 18° C. to 50° C. for a short amount of time. This is performed prior to the application of a liquid solvent. As a result, there is overcome the problems of poor adhesion to the substrates and high defect levels in the coated UTR films.
