Abstract

Compositions and techniques for the processing of semiconductor devices are provided. In one aspect of the invention, an antireflective hardmask composition is provided. The composition comprises a fully condensed polyhedral oligosilsesquioxane, {RSiO1.5}n, wherein n equals 8; and at least one chromophore moiety and transparent moiety. In another aspect of the invention, a method for processing a semiconductor device is provided. The method comprises the steps of: providing a material layer on a substrate; forming an antireflective hardmask layer over the material layer. The antireflective hardmask layer comprises a fully condensed polyhedral oligosilsesquioxane, {RSiO1.5}n, wherein n equals 8; and at least one chromophore moiety and transparent moiety.
