Photoetching technique is necessary for the reduction that obtains the structural shape size efficiently.Be generally used for the angle of the mask of this imaging from direct imaging pattern and generation on particular substrate, photoetching technique affects microstructural production.
Typical photoetching process comprises exposing (patternwise exposure) towards the pattern direction of radiosensitive resist, carries out radiant image, to be formed with the resist layer of one patterned.Afterwards, resist layer and certain material (common, water miscible alkaline development solution) by will exposure contacts this image that develops.Then, the material that the vacancy at the resist of one patterned is existed carries out etching, so as with pattern transfer to following material.After transfer is finished, the remainder of resist layer is removed.
For the better solution in most of photoetching processes, used antireflecting coating (ARC) so that make imaging layer, for example radiosensitive erosion resistant layer, and the reflectivity between the following layer minimizes.Yet,, therefore in etching step subsequently, need further to form pattern owing in the ARC etching process after forming pattern, removed the mass part of imaging layer.
That is to say that in some optical patterning technologies, employed resist can not provide enough repellences to etching step subsequently, to reach the degree that is enough to effectively the layer of desired pattern transfer to resist.In the application of reality (for example, under the situation that needs the ultrathin membrane resist layer, it is thick carrying out etched following material, needs sizable etch depth, and/or needs to use specific etchant in the material below).Used so-called " hard mask layer " as the resist layer of one patterned and can shift by resist from one patterned be patterned below material between the middle layer.Hard mask layer must be able to hold (or be applicable to,, and resist needed etching accommodate) from the pattern of the resist layer of one patterned, so as with pattern transfer to following material.
