Mathematical analysis of soft baking in photolithography
نویسندگان
چکیده
The soft baking step of a photolithography process is analyzed theoretically, taking the effect of the temperature dependence of the diffusivity of solvent into account. A coordinates-transform technique is chosen to solve the moving boundary problem under consideration. The temporal variation of the thickness of a film is predicted, and the result obtained justified by fitting experimental data reported in the literature for both poly~methylmethacrylate! film and Shipley UVIII photoresist. We show that, depending upon the types of photoresist film and the operating conditions, the transport of solvent may be controlled by the diffusion of solvent in a film or the convective transport of solvent from the gas–film interface to the bulk gas phase. © 2001 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1335823#

متن کاملPhysicochemical Properties and End-use Quality of Wheat Starch as a Function of Waxy Protein Alleles
Soft wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) quality tests (milling and baking quality) and starch characteristics (amylose concentration, X-ray diffractograms, thermal properties and pasting properties) were determined for eight granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS: waxy protein) genotypes in a soft wheat background. Lines carrying two null alleles showed reduced amylose concentrations relative to those o...
متن کاملOn exponentiable soft topological spaces
An object $X$ of a category $mathbf{C}$ with finite limits is called exponentiable if the functor $-times X:mathbf{C}rightarrow mathbf{C}$ has a right adjoint. There are many characterizations of the exponentiable spaces in the category $mathbf{Top}$ of topological spaces. Here, we study the exponentiable objects in the category $mathbf{STop}$ of soft topological spaces which is a generalizati...
