Antireflective Coatings (TARCs & BARCs)

AZ Aquatar (TARC) 
AZ® Aquatar® is a top layer anti-reflective coating for use with g- and i-line. AQUATAR® acts like an optical coating at the interface photoresist/air and improves image contrast.
Multiple reflections within the photoresist are also suppressed, the result is generally a reduction of the amplitude of the swing curve to 1/3rd. Application is very simple: it is just spun on top of the photoresist, no additional bake cycle is required and the standard development cycle removes it.
This simple process reduces linewidth variation over topography significantly, however does not suppress reflective notching.

AZ Barli (BARC) 
AZ® BARLi® - II is a bottom antireflective layer coating for use on highly reflective surfaces in the semiconductor industry. It is designed to work with positive photoresists and is optimized for i-line exposure tools. Upon completion of the lithographic process, AZ® BARLi® - II is patterned in a dry-etch process.
AZ® BARLi® -II coating material is formulated in photoresist-compatible solvents to simplify the EBR process and to be both environmental and user friendly. We recommend AZ® EBR 70/30 for best performance.
AZ® BARLi® - II is tailor-made to yield the near-optimum values for refractive indices (n and k) for i-line lithography, which ensures minimum reflectivity and maximum swing reduction for photoresist layers.
Composed of highly absorptive polymer-bound dyes, this material provides excellent coating uniformity and step coverage.
AZ® BARLi® - II shows high etch selectivity (comparable to AZ® BARLi® ) and high thermal stability up to 230°C. It does not show intermixing with photoresist.
AZ® BARLi® - II is available in two thickness grades, 900 A and 2000 A, in order to provide optimum film thickness for the first and the second swing minimum respectively at about 3000 rpm spin speed.
