Abstract

There is disclosed a dyed, spin-on glass composition with a high carbon content for use in providing antireflective planarizing layers on substrates such as semiconductor silicon wafers. These layers can be used as hard masks by etching patterns therein. These hard masks can be used in multilayer resists and in making lithography masks. Methods for producing these hard-masks are also provided.
