What Does BARC Stand For?
BARC stands for Bottom Antireflective Coating
BARC, or Bottom Antireflective Coating, is a specialized thin film applied to the surface of semiconductor substrates during photolithography processes. Its primary function is to minimize light reflection at the bottom of photoresist layers, enhancing the resolution and uniformity of pattern transfer. By reducing standing wave effects and improving the adhesion of photoresist materials, BARC plays a crucial role in achieving high-fidelity imaging and optimizing patterning performance in advanced microfabrication applications.
