Abstract

The invention discloses a method for binding pattern in reinforced photo-etching process, including carrying out several times of plasma alkaline treatments on bottom film before photo-etching process is done, forming cross-linked projection unit at bottom of photosensitive-material pattern, and then using dry-etching means to remove off said cross-linked projection unit of bottom film. The beneficial effect comprises: the light-acid reaction which near the substrate on the substrate and the photosensing material prevents the photochemical reaction at the bottom, so as to greatly enlarge the connection area of the pattern and the substrate material and solve the pattern falling down problem frequently generated when the pattern line width narrowed, the corresponding photosensing material also thinned in integrated circuit technology.

Description

A kind of method that strengthens figure adhesive force in the photoetching process
Technical field
The invention belongs to the ic manufacturing technology field, be specifically related to a kind of method that strengthens figure adhesive force in the photoetching process.
Background technology
The semiconductor devices function of today has developed very powerfully, but the research staff still keeping on improving, and continues to consider the further area of reduction of device, improves the integrated level of circuit board.
As everyone knows, if the reduction of device area, the figure live width also must be dwindled, so the used photochromics of photoetching process is also wanted continuous attenuate naturally.But cross the realization that thin photoresist is unfavorable for etching technics, ion implantation technology masking layer, this contradiction exists exist all the time that day from semiconductor.The way that industry often adopts is the thickness that in the scope that resolution allows, thickens photochromics as far as possible; Usually the thickness of photochromics and the ratio of figure live width are about 3: 1; No doubt this way can address this problem; But especially often find the figure problem of collapsing in producing behind the developing process, the reduction that this is serious the qualification rate of semiconductor product.After the mechanism that analyzed pattern collapses, finding that this phenomenon is closely bound up with the surface tension of base material, be to solve through the adhesive force that uses surface thickening agent further enhancing figure and backing material at present, but this way can not be dealt with problems at all; And the thickness of another method-minimizing photochromics is infeasible.
Summary of the invention
The technical issues that need to address of the present invention are to provide a kind of method that strengthens figure adhesive force in the photoetching process, when dwindling the semiconductor devices area, can also guarantee developing process after the high-quality of figure.
Technical scheme of the present invention is:
It is characterized in that: before in ic manufacturing process, carrying out photoetching process; Several times of plasma alkaline is carried out on the bottom thin film surface to be handled; Thereby form crosslinked outshot in photochromics figure bottom; To strengthen the area that is connected of figure and backing material, remove said and crosslinked outshot bottom thin film by subsequently dry etching afterwards.
As to improvement of the present invention, before the bottom thin film surface being carried out the several times of plasma alkaline processing, also comprise step: the bottom thin film surfacing is cleaned;
As to improvement of the present invention, several times of plasma is carried out on the bottom thin film surface, at first carry out the inert, plasma surface treatment, utilize inert gas to surface preparation, the clean surface, the valence link that interrupts membraneous material connects;
Plasma alkaline is handled for the second time, feeds the mixed gas of inert gas and reacting gas, to improve the surface alkalinty radical concentration of membraneous material, strengthens the binding ability with acid ion;
The number of times that plasma alkaline is handled is decided by the surface alkalinty radical concentration; So as to improvement of the present invention; Usually after finishing twice plasma alkaline processing, also comprise step: measure the concentration of thin-film material surface basic group,, just carry out figure cloth, baking, litho pattern on the light sensitive material surface if concentration reaches requirement; Continue subsequent step then; If concentration does not reach setting value, then repeat plasma alkaline and handle,, the concentration of basic group carries out figure cloth, baking, litho pattern on the light sensitive material surface again after reaching the setting requirement; Wherein the 1st plasma surface treatment be for utilizing inert gas to surface preparation, and the 2nd time and each time plasma basic treatment of repeating thereafter all only feed the mixed gas of inert gas and reacting gas.
As to improvement of the present invention, before crosslinked outshot is formed on photochromics figure bottom, also comprise step: at light sensitive material exterior view cloth, baking, litho pattern, so that produce crosslinked outshot;
The present invention has utilized sensitization, the reaction mechanism of photochromics, i.e. photochemical catalysis reaction is after energy that initial spacing wave has is absorbed by photochromics; It is sour that PAG optical acid generating agent in the photochromics can produce different acid light strong and weak and molecular size; These light acid are distributed in photochromics by in the exposure area, and along with the baking of silicon chip is heated, they will obtain enough kinetic energy and carry out diffusion motion; And will amplify the reactant of reaction as the chemistry that forms image; The generation chain reaction, the fragrant type acidic materials of reaction product benzene react with the developer solution of alkalescence, finally obtain the mechanism of figure.The present invention proposes that substrate surface (being film surface) is carried out plasma alkaline and handles; Make its be easy to photochromics near the light acid reaction of substrate; And then the acid of neutralization light, stop photochemically reactive the carrying out in bottom, thereby form crosslinked outshot in photochromics figure bottom.
As to improvement of the present invention; Said plasma alkaline has been used plasma source in handling; Comprise auxiliary inert gas and reacting gas; Wherein auxiliary inert gas can use arbitrary gas in helium, neon, argon, krypton or the xenon, and reacting gas can use arbitrary gas in nitrogen monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, nitrous oxide, ammonia or the sal-ammoniac.
The gas volume blending ratio of the plasma source described in the present invention is an inert gas: reacting gas is arbitrary ratio in 1: 1,1: 2,1: 3,1: 4,1: 5,1: 6,2: 3,2: 5,2: 7,2: 9,3: 4,3: 5,3: 7,3: 8,4: 5,4: 7,4: 9,5: 6,5: 7,5: 8,5: 9,6: 7,7: 8,7: 9,8: 9.
Plasma alkaline technology described in the present invention is characterized in that, in described 2~5 plasma process were handled, each processing time was 50-500 second, and air pressure is the 5-50 holder, and power is 100-500 watt, and temperature is the 150-400 degree.
The invention has the beneficial effects as follows; Because substrate surface plasma alkaline Treatment Technology scheme; Near the light acid reaction of substrate, stoped photochemically reactive the carrying out in bottom, thereby greatly strengthened the be connected area of figure in substrate and the photochromics with backing material; Solved the figure live width and dwindled, corresponding photochromics is the continuous recurrent figure difficult problem of collapsing in the integrated circuit technology of attenuate also.
