Abstract

When rays of light converge inside a photosensitive material at angles larger than 70 degrees, one polarization of the light may fail to produce the desired image contrast in conventional exposure media. This invention describes a material which may be applied to a semiconductor wafer surface which ensures that the photosensitive material is exposed principally by light polarized parallel to the semiconductor wafer surface.
