- According to an embodiment of the present invention, the organic anti-reflective layer composition comprises the light absorbent of the present invention, a polymer, a thermal acid generating agent, a crosslinking agent and a solvent.
- A preferable organic anti-reflective layer composition needs to satisfy the following requirements.
- Firstly, the composition should contain a substance which is capable of absorbing light in the wavelength region of the light source for exposure so as to prevent reflection from underneath film layers.
- Secondly, in a process of laminating an anti-reflective layer and then laminating a photoresist layer, the anti-reflective layer should not be dissolved and destroyed by the solvent for the photoresist. For this reason, the anti-reflective layer should be designed to have a structure which can be thermally cured, and during the process of laminating the anti-reflective layer, a baking process is carried out after coating of the anti-reflective layer so as to proceed curing.
- Thirdly, the anti-reflective layer should be able to be etched more rapidly than the photoresist layer on the upper side, so that the loss of photoresist resulting from etching of underneath film layers can be reduced.
- Fourthly, the anti-reflective layer composition should not be reactive to the photoresist on the upper side. Further, compounds such as amines or acids should be prevented from migrating to the photoresist layer. This is because these migrating impurities may cause defects, such as footing or undercut in particular, in the photoresist pattern.
- Fifthly, the anti-reflective layer composition should have optical properties which are suitable for various exposure processes using various substrates, that is, appropriate refractive index and absorption coefficient, and should have good adhesive power to the substrate and photoresist layer.
- The organic anti-reflective layer composition according to the present invention satisfies all of the above-mentioned requirements.
- Hereinafter, the organic anti-reflective layer composition according to the present invention will be described in detail.
- The light absorbent is a compound represented by
formula 1 orformula 2 as described previously in the above. The polymer to be contained in the organic anti-reflective layer composition of the present invention can be obtained by polymerizing an acrylate-based, maleic anhydride-based, phenol-based or ester-based monomer, and the polymer is not particularly limited as long as it is a polymer having crosslinking sites which are capable of reacting with the light absorbent, at the terminals of the main chain or side chains. - An organic anti-reflective layer employing such polymer acquires resistance to dissolution by solvents, as the composition applied on a substrate is cured while going through a baking process.
- Therefore, at the time of applying a photosensitizer after the lamination of the organic anti-reflective layer, dissolution of the anti-reflective layer by the solvent of the photosensitizer does not occur, and stability can be imparted to the anti-reflective layer.
- The organic anti-reflective layer composition of the present invention may contain additives in order to facilitate curing of the light absorbent and polymer and to enhance their performance, and examples of such additives include a crosslinking agent and a thermal acid generating agent.
- First, the crosslinking agent is preferably a compound having at least two or more crosslinkable functional groups, and examples thereof include aminoplastic compounds, polyfunctional epoxy resins, mixtures of dianhydrides, and the like.

- As for the polyfunctional epoxy compounds, it is preferable to use, for example, MY720, CY179MA, DENACOL and the like, as well as products equivalent thereto.
- Next, it is preferable to use a thermal acid generating agent as a catalyst for accelerating the curing reaction. As for the thermal acid generating agent to be contained in the present invention, toluenesulfonic acid, amine salts or pyridine salts of toluenesulfonic acid, alkylsulfonic acid, amine salts or pyridine salts of alkylsulfonic acid, and the like can also be used.
- As for the organic solvent that can be used in the organic anti-reflective layer composition of the present invention, it is preferable to use one or more solvents selected from the group consisting of propylene glycol monomethyl ether (PGME), propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA), cyclohexanone, ethyl lactate, propylene glycol n-propyl ether, dimethylformamide (DMF), γ-butyrolactone, ethoxyethanol, methoxyethanol, methyl 3-methoxypropionate (MMP) and ethyl 3-ethoxypropionate (EEP).
- According to another embodiment of the present invention, the organic anti-reflective layer composition contains the light absorbent represented by
formula 1 orformula 2 in an amount of preferably 0.1 to 40% by weight, more preferably 0.1 to 15% by weight, and even more preferably 0.1 to 10% by weight, based on the whole composition. The polymer is contained in an amount of preferably 0.1 to 20% by weight based on the whole composition. The crosslinking agent is contained in an amount of preferably 0.01 to 15% by weight, and more preferably 0.05 to 7% by weight, based on the whole composition. The thermal acid generating agent is contained in an amount of 0.01 to 20% by weight, more preferably 0.01 to 10% by weight, and even more preferably 0.02 to 5% by weight, based on the whole composition. The balance of the contents in the composition can be constituted of the solvent and other additional additives which are well known and widely used. - When the processes for forming an organic anti-reflective layer are briefly examined, an organic anti-reflective layer composition containing the constituent components as described above at the compositional ratios given above is applied on a wafer, and then a thermal process such as baking is carried out so that acid is generated from the thermal acid generating agent. Then, in the presence of the generated acid, a crosslinking reaction involving the light absorbent represented by
formula 1 orformula 2, the polymer and the crosslinking agent which is used as an additive, is accelerated, and an organic anti-reflective layer which is not soluble in organic solvents is formed. Such organic anti-reflective layer can prevent diffused reflection from the layers underneath the photoresist layer by absorbing far-ultraviolet rays which have penetrated through the photoresist layer and reached the organic anti-reflective layer. - The method for forming a pattern of a semiconductor device using the organic anti-reflective layer composition as described above, comprises applying the organic anti-reflective layer composition on top of a layer to be etched; curing the applied composition through a baking process, and forming crosslinking bonds to form an organic anti-reflective layer; applying a photoresist on top of the organic anti-reflective layer, and exposing and developing the photoresist to form a photoresist pattern; and etching the organic anti-reflective layer using the photoresist pattern as an etching mask, and then etching the layer to be etched so as to pattern the layer to be etched.
- In the process of laminating the organic anti-reflective layer according to the present invention, the baking process can be carried out preferably at a temperature of 150° C. to 250° C. for 0.5 to 5 minutes, and more preferably for 1 minute to 5 minutes.
- Furthermore, in the patterning method according to the present invention, an additional baking process can be carried out again before or after laminating an organic or inorganic composition of anti-reflective layer or silicone anti-reflective layer on top of a spin-on carbon hard mask, and such baking process is preferably carried out at a temperature of 70° C. to 200° C.
