Abstract
An EUV lithographic structure includes an EUV photosensitive resist layer disposed on a hardmask layer, wherein the EUV lithographic structure is free of an antireflective coating. An organic adhesion layer can be provided between the hardmask layer and the EUV photosensitive resist layer. The hardmask layer can include an uppermost oxide hardmask layer, an intermediate hardmask layer, and a lowermost oxide hardmask layer, wherein the EUV photosensitive resist layer is disposed on the uppermost oxide hardmask layer. Also described are methods for patterning the EUV lithographic structures.
