Heterometallic Ti-Zr oxo nanocluster photoresists for advanced lithography

Extreme ultraviolet lithography(EUVL)and electron beam lithography(EBL)are considered to be crucial lithography techniques utilized in the fabrication of nanoscale semiconductor devices.However,the industry currently faces a scarcity of EUV photoresists that meet the increasingly challenging standards in terms of resolution,sensitivity and roughness.Metal oxo nanoclusters have garnered significant interest in the field of EUV photoresist due to their relatively stronger absorption cross-section for extreme ultraviolet light and lower dimensions.In this study,we utilize a heterometallic nanocluster strategy by a combination of titanium and zirconium metals to investigate their solubility,assess the suitability of various developers,and evaluate their performance in electron-beam and EUVL,as well as study their etch resistance for pattern transfer.We demonstrate that R-4 is able to get a critical dimension(CD)of 25 nm at low doses under EBL,as well as 50 nm resolution at EUVL with a remarkable sensitivity of 19.7 mJ cm−2.This study offers an efficient heterometallic method for optimizing the lithographic performance of metal oxo nanocluster photoresists,which can benefit the development of commercially viable next-generation EUV photoresists.

Implanting Built-In Electric Field in Heterometallic Phthalocyanine Covalent Organic Frameworks for Light-Assisted CO_(2)Electroreduction

A strategy that enables introducing bimetallic active sites is desired for the exploration of light-sensitive covalent organic framework(COF)-based electrocatalysts in light-assisted CO_(2)electroreduction.Here,salphen-pockets have been implanted into phthalocyanine(Pc)-based COFs through the elaborate design of structural struts;the produced NiPc-DFP-M COFs(M=Ni and Co)possess the advantages of controllable bimetallic centers with different coordination environments,outstanding light sensitivity,and built-in electric-field effects that can be successfully applied in light-assisted CO_(2)electroreduction.Notably,the optimal heterometallic NiPc-DFP-Co COF presents a∼100%Faradic efficiency for CO formation(FECO)in a wide potential range of−0.7 to−1.1 V and∼70%energy efficiency(−0.7 V)under light-irradiation,which is superior to mono-and homometallic COFs and under dark conditions.The high performance can be ascribed to the synergistic effect of the NiPc and Co-salphen pockets that can largely reduce the rate-determining energy-barrier and enhance the electron density to boost the light-assisted activity as supported by density functional theory calculations.A series of bimetallic Pc-based NiPc-DFP-M COF(M=Ni and Co)with integrated salphen-pockets and NiPc units have been synthesized and successfully applied in efficient light-assisted CO_(2)electroreduction.

Lead-free bilayer heterometallic halide perovskite with reversible phase transition and photoluminescence properties

The layered heterometallic halide perovskites, as a newly explored material, have attracted great scientific attention. As one of the representatives of perovskite, lead-free or lead-substituted perovskite materials are widely applied in photovoltaic, sensors, catalysis, detectors and other fields. Therefore, it is urgent to carry out more systematic exploration and expand applicable preresearch, so as to make more interesting discoveries in this new hot spot. As an interesting candidate, heterometallic compounds will introduce more structural adjustability and novel physical properties, which is the main feature to be selected as the research hotspot. Here, we reported a lead-free bilayer heterometallic Ruddlesden-Popper(RP) type perovskite, [(MACH)_(2)CsAgBiBr_(7)](MACH = cyclohexanemethylamine), which possesses a reversible phase transition at 379.6 K/375.1 K during heating-cooling cycle. Besides, it exhibits reddish-brown light emission under 365 nm, meanwhile, CIE chromaticity coordinate is(0.32, 0.45) on the yellow side and correlated color temperature is about 6000 K. Moreover, both the experimental data and theoretical calculation results suggest that [(MACH)_(2)CsAgBiBr_(7)] shows indirect semiconducting characteristics. In summary, this work will inspire the design of lead-free heterometallic perovskite materials for the application of sensors and light-emitting diodes(LEDs) fields.

Ordered Arrangement of Different Metals in Discrete and Infinite Building Blocks for Heterometallic Metal-Organic Frameworks Construction

Construction of sophisticated metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)with multiple kinds of metals is essential for further advancement of porous materials toward various applications.Order and arrangement of the metals in the secondary building units(SBUs)greatly influence the MOF structures outcome.While most of the previous heterometallic MOFs either have multiple kinds of discrete SBUs with different metals,or single kind of SBU with mixed metals inside,other forms of metal distribution still need further exploration.Herein,a bifunctional linker is applied to achieving differential coordination toward different metals.With Ce and Cu serving as the carboxylate-philic and pyrazole-philic metal ions,three heterometallic MOFs(FDM-121—FDM-123)are synthesized.In addition to the common metal arrangement modes,the new MOFs provide a joint reticulation of a discrete SBU and an infinite chain-like SBU featuring different metals in FDM-121,and an assembly from heterometallic infinite chain-like SBU in FDM-122.This study demonstrates the potential of bifunctional linkers for the design and synthesis of heterometallic MOFs and opens up the possibilities to create MOFs with tailored properties for specific applications.
