Abstract:
In recent years, significant advances have been made in the formulation of a number of positive photoresists. Sophisticated photoresists are the backbone of integrated circuit manufacturers because without them today`s submicron geometries would have been impossible. Such photoresists are also the basis for optical integrated circuits, sensors (biological, chemical, so.), and some of MEMS systems with application in information processing. After review of the refractive index measurement methods we present our own method consisting in obtaining n by fitting the reflectivity Rp around the Brewster angle, with measured data.
