Description

Description PHOTOACTIVE MONOMER, PHOTOSENSITIVE POLYMER AND CHEMICALLY AMPLIFIED PHOTORESIST COMPOSITION INCLUDING THE SAME Technical Field
[1] This invention relates to a monomer having the function of a photoacid generator and a photosensitive polymer for forming photoresist pattern for a semiconductor. More specifically, this invention relates to a novel (meth)acrylic monomer having a chromophoric group which works as a photoacid generator, a photosensitive polymer prepared with the monomer, and a chemically amplified photoresist composition including the polymer. Background Art
[2] As the degree of integration of a semiconductor increases, dynamic random access memory (hereinafter "DRAM" having the memory capacity of more than one gigabit has been developed. To produce such a large capacity DRAM, it is required to form a fine photoresist pattern whose line width is less than lOOnm. Therefore, photo lithography processes using an exposure light source radiating light of a shorter wavelength than g-line(436nm) and i-line(365nm), has been developed. The light source radiating light of a shorter wavelength includes KrF excimer laser(248nm) and ArF excimer laser(193nm). On the other hands, active researches are carried out to prepare a chemically amplified photoresist composition having high resolution and high transparency in photolithography process using short wavelength exposing light (248nm, 193nm or less), excellent dry etching resistance, adhesiveness to a substrate, and developing property to the conventional developer composition such as 2.38 weight% tetramethyl ammoniumhydroxide (TMAH) aqueous solution. Generally, the chemically amplified photoresist composition includes a photoacid generator (PAG) which generates an acid when exposed to an exposing light, a photosensitive polymer having a protecting group which can be hydrolyzed by the acid, and a solvent. When the chemically amplified photoresist composition is exposed to an exposing light, the photoacid generator generates an acid, the generated acid consecutively decomposes the protecting groups on the photosensitive polymer, and thus the solubility of the photosensitive polymer is changed. Then, the photoresist is developed to form the pattern of high contrast.
[3]
[4] Recently, an immersion lithography process is also developed to produce photoresist pattern having the half -pitch of less than 65nm in DRAM manufacturing process. However, the immersion lithography process has a drawback in that the photoacid generator elutes from the photoresist when an immersion fluid is applied to the photoresist. The eluted photoacid contaminates lens and the immersion fluid, which reduces the life span of the lens, changes the refractive index of the immersion fluid, and finally decreases the process yield. Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem
[5] It is an object of the present invention to provide a monomer having the function of a photoacid generator which can prevent the leakage of the photoacid generator in the immersion lithography process, a photosensitive polymer prepared with the monomer, and a chemically amplified photoresist composition including the polymer.
[6] It is other object of the present invention to provide a monomer which can prevent the contaminations of lens, immersion fluid, and so on in the immersion lithography process, a photosensitive polymer prepared with the monomer, and a chemically amplified photoresist composition including the polymer.
[7] It is another object of the present invention to provide a photosensitive polymer and a chemically amplified photoresist composition for providing high resolution, high process margin and low line edge roughness (LER).
[8] It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a photosensitive polymer and a chemically amplified photoresist composition which are suitable for the dry exposing process as well as the wet exposing process, and especially for the ArF wet exposing process. Technical Solution

[86]
[87] Photoresist pattern can be formed on a substrate using the photoresist composition according to the following conventional photolithography process. First, the photoresist composition is spin coated on the substrate, such as silicon wafer or aluminium wafer, for example, with a spin coater to form a photoresist layer on the substrate.

[133] (Examples 3a-3g) Preparation of photoresist composition
[134] 2g of photosensitive polymer prepared in Examples 2a to 2g is dissolved in 20g of propyleneglycol methylethylacetate, and filtered with a filter of 0.20μm filter size to prepare photoresist compositions 3a to 3g, respectively.
[135]
[136] (Example 4) Formation of photoresist pattern by dry exposing process and wet exposing process
[137] The photoresist composition prepared in Examples 3a to 3g is spin coated on a silicon substrate to be etched to form a photoresist layer. Then the photoresist layer is subjected to soft bake process at 90°C for 90 seconds in oven or on hot plate, and then subjected to dry exposing process or wet exposing process with ArF excimer laser, and again subjected to bake process at 90°C for 90 seconds. Then the baked wafer is developed by immersing the baked wafer in 2.38 weight% TMAH aqueous solution for 40 seconds to form photoresist L/S pattern of 0.07 μm. The CD(critical dimension) and cross-sectional profile of the obtained photoresist pattern are measured by Critical Dimension Scanning Electron Microscopes(CD-SEM) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope(FE-SEM) to obtain minimum resolution, depth of focus, line edge roughness and processing margin of energy of each photoresist composition, and the results are set forth in Table 1. Also, photographs of the pattern formed by the dry exposing process and the wet exposing process with the photoresist composition of Example 3a are represented by Figs. 1 and 2, respectively. Photographs of the pattern formed by the dry exposing process and the wet exposing process with the photoresist composition of Example 3b are represented by Figs. 3 and 4, respectively. Photographs of the pattern formed by the dry exposing process and the wet exposing process with the photoresist composition of Example 3c are represented by Figs. 5 and 6, respectively. Photographs of the pattern formed by the dry exposing process and the wet exposing process with the photoresist composition of Example 3d are represented by Figs. 7 and 8, respectively. Photographs of the pattern formed by the dry exposing process and the wet exposing process with the photoresist composition of Example 3e are represented by Figs. 9 and 10, respectively. Photographs of the pattern formed by the dry exposing process and the wet exposing process with the photoresist composition of Example 3f are represented by Figs. 11 and 12, respectively. Photographs of the pattern formed by the dry exposing process and the wet exposing process with the photoresist composition of Example 3g are represented by Figs. 13 and 14, respectively.
[138] [139] As inferred from Table 1 and Figs. 1 to 14, the photoresist composition of the present invention can form the photoresist pattern which has excellent resolution, excellent depth of focus, low line edge roughness and excellent processing margin of energy because the leakage or elution of the photoacid-generator does not occur.
[140] Table 1
Figure imgf000017_0001
[141] As described above, the monomer having the function of a photoacid generator, the photosensitive polymer and the chemically amplified photoresist composition of the present invention have a merit in that the photoacid-generator does not elute from a photoresist during wet exposing process in immersion lithography. Thus, the contaminations of lens and immersion fluid used in wet exposing process can be reduced. Also the chemically amplified photoresist of the present invention has merits in that it can decrease line edge roughness(LER), and has high resolution, high processing margin of energy, excellent depth of focus margin, and is suitable for the dry exposing process as well as the wet exposing process, and especially for the ArF wet exposing process.
