摘要: The authors study the dissolution mechanism of hydrogen silsesquioxane in base solutions with addition chloride salts to elucidate development mechanism. reaction mechanisms are proposed based on quartz. Development kinetics suggests two dose-dependent mechanisms. Considering ion sizes, both hydrated and nonhydrated, exchange, they propose that a combination surface dominated at higher doses matrix lower accounts for high contrast NaOH base/NaCl salt mixture. interplay between nonhydrated sizes leads developers, such as tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide NaCl.
