Abstract

In providing a bottom antireflective coating (BARC) in a semiconductor structure, a primer layer, for example, hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS), is provided on a substrate, and the BARC is formed on the primer. This results in a substantially defect free BARC layer, having a more uniform reflectivity which in turn leads to improve to photolithographic pattern resolution.
