Abstract

A method for forming a semiconductor device structure is provided. The method includes forming a material layer over a substrate and providing a resist solution. The resist solution includes a plurality of first polymers and a plurality of second polymers, each of the first polymers includes a first polymer backbone, and a first acid-labile group (ALG) with a first activation energy bonded to the first polymer backbone. Each of the second polymers includes a second polymer backbone, and a second acid-labile group with a second activation energy bonded to the second polymer backbone, the second activation energy is greater than the first activation energy. The method includes forming a resist layer over the material layer, and the resist layer includes a top portion and a bottom portion, and the first polymers diffuse to the bottom portion, and the second polymers diffuse to the top portion.
