Abstract
Factors such as post-develop hydrophobicity, polymer aggregation and acid diffusion length are driving forces in the formation of micro bridging defects. In this report, solutions for each possible cause are proposed and tested. It is proven that micro-bridging levels can be significantly reduced through a multi-tiered approach.
