Description
The present invention relates to a coating composition for forming a fine pattern, and more particularly, to a coating composition for forming a fine pattern capable of reducing a line width size or a diameter of a pattern by forming a coating film on the surface of a photoresist pattern formed using a negative tone developer Coating compositions and methods of forming fine patterns using the same.
As a method of forming a fine pattern, there is a need for development of an exposure apparatus or miniaturization of a pattern through introduction of an additional process (for example, pattern coating process) Reduction of the pattern space through) is most effective.
As a photoresist pattern forming method, there are a negative tone developing solution (NTD) and a positive tone developing solution (PTD, Positive Tone Development). The pattern forming method using the negative tone developing solution is to form a pattern by selectively dissolving and removing the non-exposed region with a negative tone developing solution. In the pattern forming method using the positive tone developing solution, by selectively dissolving and removing the exposed region with a positive tone developing solution To form a pattern. The method of forming a pattern using the negative tone developer can realize a reversed phase pattern even in a contact hole pattern or a trench pattern which is difficult to form due to insufficient exposure amount as compared with a pattern forming method using a positive tone developer, And an organic solvent is used as a developer for removing unexposed portions, so that a photoresist pattern can be formed more effectively.
As a method for refining the photoresist pattern through the introduction of the additional process, there is a pattern coating process for making the space portion of the formed photoresist pattern smaller, and a coating composition comprising a conventional commercialized water- To form a coating layer having a uniform thickness on the pattern, thereby forming a fine pattern. However, when the coating composition (conventional coating composition) containing the water-soluble polymer is coated on the developed photoresist pattern with a negative tone developer, the acidification ratio of the photoresist pattern (the deprotecting group of the photoresist pattern is the carboxyl group (-COOH) Is higher than that of the photoresist pattern developed with a conventional positive tone developer, the crosslinking reaction rate with the water-soluble polymer having a high polarity is increased, and the pattern is excessively fine. Therefore, in the case of a coating composition using a conventional water-soluble polymer, it is difficult to miniaturize the pattern and it is difficult to obtain a stable line width because the amount of change in the pattern line width (variation in the thickness of the coating film) The interface between the space portion and the pattern) is increased.
In addition, when the pH of the pattern coating composition using the conventional water-soluble polymer is more than 9, the photoresist pattern may be modified and melted by the basic material during the coating process of the coating composition, the etching resistance is low, and there is also a problem that CD (Critical Dimension, unit: nm) difference occurs in the trench pattern or the contact hole pattern space portion.

In addition, since the coating composition of the present invention can maximize the difference in dissolution rate between the portion where the coating film is formed and the remaining portion which is removed in the developing process, compared with a conventional coating composition using a water-soluble polymer, (B), the pattern line width is varied in accordance with the temperature and the time in the bake process for forming a fine pattern, so that a more stable pattern line width can be realized in semiconductor production .

[Examples 2-1 to 2-19 and Comparative Example 2] Fine pattern formation and evaluation
ArF organic anti-reflective coating composition DARC-A125 (manufacturer: Dongjin Semichem Co., Ltd.) was coated on a silicon wafer to a thickness of 33 nm and heated at 240 캜 for 60 seconds. Then, a negative photoresist composition DHA-HV100 Resist, manufacturer: Dongjin Semichem Co., Ltd.) was coated and heated at 95 캜 for 60 seconds (soft bake) to form a photoresist film. The wafer on which the photoresist film was formed was exposed using an ArF exposure apparatus (apparatus name: ASML 1200B, manufactured by ASML Corporation) having a numerical aperture of 0.85 and then heated at 110 ° C for 60 seconds to amplify the acid generated during exposure, (N-butyl acetate) for 15 seconds to form an elongated contact hole pattern having a line width of 74 nm and a Y-axis of 370 nm. Three pieces of each of the coating compositions prepared in Examples 1-1 to 1-19 and Comparative Example 1 were coated on the wafer having the contact hole pattern formed thereon and heated at 110 ° C, 130 ° C, and 150 ° C for 60 seconds, respectively And a negative tone developing solution (n-butyl acetate) for 15 seconds to develop a fine pattern in which the size (diameter) of the hole was shrunk (forming a coating film on the pattern). In the case of Comparative Example 2, it was immersed in deionized water (DI) for 60 seconds to be developed.
Composition for pattern coating
Diameter (nm)
From Table 2, it can be seen that the coating composition for forming a fine pattern of the present invention is applied onto a photoresist pattern using a conventional negative tone developer, and is heated (baked) and developed to effectively reduce the diameter of the hole pattern And it can be seen that the rate of change of the diameter of the hole pattern according to the temperature is stable as compared with the water-soluble polymer coating composition (Comparative Example 1). Particularly, even in a contact hole pattern of a long shape rather than a circular shape, the amount of change in the X axis and the Y axis is constant.
