A process for making low optical density polymers and copolymers for photoresists and optical applications

The present invention pertains to a process for the preparation of polymers comprising poly(4-hydroxystyrene) or substituted poly(4-hydroxystyrene) or both. The polymers have low optical density (absorbance) over a wavelength range from about 240 to about 260 nm, as well as low optical density over the near UV and visible spectrum (310 to 800 nm). Such polymers arc produced by polymerizing 4-acetoxystyrene and/or substituted 4-aeetoxystyrene monomers, with or without other comonomers, and subsequently performing transesterification. In the most preferred embodiment of the present invention, the polymers are produced using at least one alcohol as a reaction medium, a chain transfer agent and a transesterification reactant, providing an unusually economic process. These polymers are particularly useful as photoresist components for use in combination with deep UV, X-ray, and E-Beam imaging systems. To obtain polymers having low optical density over the 240 to 260 nm radiation wavelength range, it is necessary to use an initiator which does not comprise a substantially absorbant structure over the 240 to 260 nm range or to use an initiator concentration of less than about 3 mole % of the monomer(s), to obtain a polymerization conversion of the initial polymerization monomers of at least about 90% by weight, or to remove residual monomer(s) from the reaction medium prior to transesterification, and to obtain a transesterification conversion of the polymerized monomers of at least 85% by weight. It is also necessary to avoid the use of transesterification catalysts which can cause the formation of chemical structures which can absorb over the 240 to 260 nm radiation wavelength range.

Hardware-based system for enabling data transfers between a CPU and chip set logic of a computer system on both edges of bus clock signal

A hardware-based system for configuring a CPU and chip set logic of a computer system to allow data transfers on both the rising and falling edges of a bus clock signal. The CPU and chip set logic each include bus communication circuitry for transferring data, a storage unit, and a configuration circuit. The contents of the storage unit determine whether the respective bus communication circuitry transfers data on only one or on both clock edges. Initially, the bus communication circuits transfer data on only one clock edge. The configuration circuits of the CPU and chip set logic are connected by a single signal line and participate in a serial exchange of signals over the single signal line. The configuration circuits modify the contents of the respective storage units dependent upon an outcome of the serial exchange of signals. The configuration circuit of the CPU initiates the exchange of signals, transmitting a query signal. Upon receiving the query signal, the chip set logic configuration circuit transmits a response signal and modifies the contents of the chip set logic storage unit such that the chip set logic bus communication circuitry transfers data on both clock edges. Upon receiving the response signal from the chip set logic, the CPU configuration circuit modifies the contents of the CPU storage unit such that the CPU bus communication circuitry transfers data on both clock edges. As a result, data transfers on both clock edges are implemented within the computer system.
