Simpler than that. HMDS reacts with exposed positive resist. The acid
in the exposed resist acts as a catalyst. The HMDS reaction liberates
NH3 and CO2 leaving behind a Si(CH3)3 Silicon Tri-methyl. This is a
silicon rich layer that can inhibit diffusion into the resist and
Thermal flow. If you can use a true silylation unit that diffuses HMDS
into the resist. A higher pressure vapor, 200 to 600 Torr instead of 14
Torr there is a deeper more consistent layer. If you can get a true low
pressure plasma system then an Oxygen plasma at 5 millitorr will convert
the silicon to silicon dioxide and you have a completely impervious
barrier. Bill Moffat

Hello Bill,
Thank you very much for your answer.
What you mean you said ''Silylate''.
How can i set to Silicon barrier? Do you you mean SiN deposition?
If so i can deposite with PECVD-Sputtering.
