Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the invention
- The present invention relates to an anti-reflective polymer that is useful in a submicrolithographic process, a composition comprising the polymer, and a method for preparing the same. In particular, the present invention relates to a polymer that can be used in an anti-reflective coating layer to reduce or prevent back reflection of light and/or to eliminate the standing waves in the photoresist layer during a submicrolithographic process. The present invention also relates to a composition comprising the polymer, and a method for using the same.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- In most submicrolithographic processes standing waves and/or reflective notching of the waves typically occur due to the optical properties of the lower layer coated on a substrate and/or due to changes in the thickness of a photosensitive (i.e., photoresist) film applied thereon. In addition, typical submicrolithographic processes suffer from a problem of CD (critical dimension) alteration caused by diffracted and/or reflected light from the lower layer.
- One possible solution is to apply an anti-reflective coating (i.e., ARC) between the substrate and the photosensitive film. Useful ARCs have a high absorbance of the light wavelengths that are used in submicrolithographic processes. ARCs can be an inorganic an organic material, and they are generally classified as “absorptive” or “interfering” depending on the mechanism. For a microlithographic process using I-line (365 nm wavelength) radiation, inorganic anti-reflective films are generally used. Typically, TiN or amorphous carbon (amorphous-C) materials are used for an absorptive ARC and SiON materials are typically used for an interfering ARC.
- SiON-based anti-reflective films have also been adapted for submicrolithographic processes that use a KrF light source. Recently, use of an organic compound as ARC has been investigated. It is generally believed that an organic compound based ARCs are particularly useful in submicrolithographic processes, in particular those using an ArF light source.
- In order to be useful as an ARC, an organic compound needs to have many diverse and desirable physical properties. For example, a cured ARC should not be soluble in solvents because dissolution of the organic ARC can cause the photoresist composition layer to peel-off in a lithographic process. One method for reducing the solubility of cured ARC is to include cross-linking moieties such that when cured the ARC becomes cross-linked and becomes insoluble in most solvents used in lithographic processes. In addition, there should be minimum amount of migration (i.e., diffusion), if at all, of materials, such as acids and/or amines, to and from the ARC. If acids migrate from the ARC to an unexposed area of the positive photoresist film, the photosensitive pattern is undercut. If bases, such as amines, diffuse from the ARC to an unexposed area of the positive photoresist film a footing phenomenon occurs. Moreover, ARC should have a faster etching rate than the upper photosensitive (i.e., photoresist) film to allow the etching process to be conducted smoothly with the photosensitive film serving as a mask. Preferably, an organic ARC should be as thin as possible and have an excellent light reflection prevention property.
- While a variety of ARC materials are currently available, none of these materials is useful in ArF laser submicrolithographic processes. In the absence of an ARC, the irradiated light penetrates into the photoresist film and is back reflected or scattered from its lower layers or the surface of the substrate (e.g., semiconductor chip), which affects the resolution and/or the formation of a photoresist pattern.
- Therefore, there is a need for an ARC material which have a high absorbance of the wavelengths used in submicrolithographic processes.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide an organic polymer that can be used as an ARC material in ArF laser (193 nm) or KrF laser (248 nm) submicrolithographic processes.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a method for preparing an organic polymer that reduces or prevents diffusion and/or light reflection in submicrolithographi processes.
- It is a further object of the present invention to provide an ARC composition comprising such an organic diffusion/reflection preventing or reducing polymer and a method for producing the same.
- It is a still further object of the present invention to provide a method for producing a photoresist pattern using ArF laser submicrolithographic processes with reduced standing wave effect.
- It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a semiconductor device which is produced using the ARC composition in a submicrolithographic process.
- Alkyl groups according to the present invention are aliphatic hydrocarbons which can be straight or branched chain groups. Alkyl groups optionally can be substituted with one or more substituents, such as a halogen, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, hydroxy, amino, thio, alkoxy, carboxy, oxo or cycloalkyl. There may be optionally inserted along the alkyl group one or more oxygen, sulfur or substituted or unsubstituted nitrogen atoms. Exemplary alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, t-butyl, fluoromethyl, difluoromethyl, trifluoromethyl, chloromethyl, trichloromethyl, and pentafluoroethyl.
- In a submicrolithography process, an anti-reflective coating (i.e., ARC) is used to reduce or prevent the standing wave effect and/or reflective notching which can occurr upon exposure of a photosensitive layer to light. In addition, the ARC reduces or eliminates the influence of a back diffraction and reflection of light from the lower layer. The ARC can also prevent undercutting and footing problems which can occur upon forming images on photosensitive materials. To be useful, the ARC must have a high absorbance at specific wavelengths.
- The present invention provides polymers that comprise a chromophore substituent which is highly absorptive of light, in particular at wavelengths of 193 nm and 248 nm. Polymers of the present invention can further comprise a crosslinking moiety. It has been found by the present inventors that the presence of such cross-linking moiety significantly improves the adhesiveness and dissolution of the ARC. Useful cross-linking moieties include an epoxide moiety. Without being bound by any theory, it is believed that heating (i.e., baking) ARC causes opening of the epoxide ring and creates crosslinking within the ARC polymer, thereby improving the physical properties of the ARC. In particular, uncured ARC resins (i.e., polymers) of the present invention are soluble in most hydrocarbon solvents, thus allowing ARC resins to be easily coated onto a substrate. However, a cured (i.e., baked) ARC of the present invention are relatively insoluble in most solvents, thus preventing dissolution of the ARC in a developing solution. It is believed that ARCs of the present invention have higher etching rate than ArF photosensitive films because the crosslinking moieties are bonded to each other via C—O linkages. This higher etching rate significantly improves in the etch selection ratio between the ARC and the photosensitive film.

In one embodiment, the ARC compositing described above is coated on a substrate, such as a wafer, and the coated substrate is heated (e.g., baked). The ARC composition can be filtered prior to being coated onto the substrate. Heating of the coated substrate is preferably conducted at temperature in the range of from about 100° C. to about 300° C. for a period of from about 10 sec. to about 1,000 sec. Heating the coated substrate produces a film of crosslinked ARC polymer.

- Polymers of Examples 5 to 8 were independently dissolved in propyleneglycol methylether acetate (PGMEA). These solutions, alone or in combination with 0.1-30 % by weight of at least one additive selected from conventional anthracene additives. The resulting solutions were filtered, coated on a wafer, and hard-baked at 100-300° C. for 10-1,000 sec to form an ARC. A photosensitive material (i.e., photoresist composition) is coated on top of the ARC layer and subjected to a submicrolithographic process to produce an ultrafine photoresist pattern.
- Polymers of the present invention comprise a phenyl group which is capable of absorbing light that is used in submicrolithography processes. Additionally, uncured polymer of the present invention is soluble in most hydrocarbon solvents while the cured (i.e., hard baked) polymer is insoluble in most solvents. Thus, polymers of the present invention can be easily coated onto a substrate and are capable of preventing undercutting and footing problems that can occur during a photoresist pattern formation on photosensitive materials (i.e., photoresist compositions).
- Moreover, polymers of the present invention comprise crosslinking moieties that form C—O bonds, thus providing ARCs that have a higher etching rate than ArF photosensitive films resulting in a significantly improved etch selection ratio between the ARCs and the photosensitive films.
- ARCs of the present invention reduce or eliminate the back reflection of light from lower layers of the photosensitive film or the surface of the substrate (e.g., semiconductor element). In addition, ARCs of the present invention reduce or eliminate the standing waves effect due to the thickness changes in the photoresist layer during a submicrolithographic process.

In particular, use of ARCs of the present invention in submicrolithographic processes result in formation of a stable ultrafine pattern that are suitable for 1G, 4G and 16G DRAM semiconductor devices. And since a stable pattern is formed, use of ARCs of the present invention greatly improves the production yield.
