Abstract

Anti-reflective coating materials for ultraviolet photolithography include at least one organic light-absorbing compound incorporated into spin-on-glass materials. Suitable absorbing compounds are strongly absorbing over wavelength ranges around wavelengths such as 365 nm, 248 nm, 193 nm and 157 nm that may be used in photolithography. A method of making absorbing spin-on-glass materials includes combining at least one organic absorbing compound with alkoxysilane or halosilane reactants during synthesis of the spin-on-glass materials.
