Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a resin and an ArF wet photoresist containing the same.
Background
The photolithography technique refers to a pattern micromachining technique for transferring a pattern designed on a mask plate onto a substrate through exposure, development, etching and other technological processes by utilizing chemical sensitivity of a photolithography material (particularly photoresist) under the actions of visible light, ultraviolet rays, electron beams and the like. Photolithography materials (particularly photoresists), also known as photoresists, are the most critical functional chemical materials involved in photolithography, the main components of which are resins, photoacid generators (Photo Acid Generator, PAG), and corresponding additives and solvents. The photoacid generator is a photosensitive compound which is decomposed under illumination to generate acid, and the generated acid can lead acid-sensitive resin to generate decomposition or crosslinking reaction, so that the dissolution contrast of an illumination part and a non-illumination part in a developing solution is increased, and the photoacid generator can be used in the technical field of pattern micromachining.
Three important parameters of photoresist include resolution, sensitivity, line width roughness, which determine the process window of the photoresist at the time of chip fabrication. With the continuous improvement of the performance of semiconductor chips, the integration level of integrated circuits increases exponentially, and the patterns in the integrated circuits continue to shrink. In order to make smaller sized patterns, the performance index of the above three photoresists must be improved. The use of a short wavelength light source in the photolithography process may increase the resolution of the photoresist according to the rayleigh equation. The light source wavelength of the photolithography process has evolved from 365nm (I-line) to 248nm (KrF), 193nm (ArF), 13nm (EUV). In order to improve the sensitivity of the photoresist, the currently mainstream KrF, arF, EUV photoresist adopts a chemically amplified photosensitive resin. Thus, photosensitizers (photoacid generators) compatible with chemically amplified photosensitive resins are widely used in high-end photoresists.
As photolithography processes evolve, to 193nm immersion processes, the complexity of the process increases, placing higher and higher demands on resists (i.e., photoresists). Developing photoresist capable of improving resolution, sensitivity and line width roughness becomes a problem to be solved urgently in industry.

Then, a photoresist composition was spin-coated thereon, and then baked at 200 ℃ for 60 seconds on a hot plate to form a 100nm thick photoresist film.
Using an ArF excimer laser immersion scanner NSR-S610C (Nikon corp., NA1.30, σ0.9/0.72, 35 ° cross-polar opening, azimuthal polarized illumination), the photoresist film was exposed through a 6% halftone phase shift mask using immersion lithography at varying doses. The photoresist film was baked (PEB) at a temperature of 95 ℃ for 60 seconds. After PEB, developer was injected from the development nozzle while the wafer was rotated at 30rpm for 3 seconds, followed by static suspension immersion development for 27 seconds. A hole pattern with a pitch of 100nm was formed.
2. Evaluating photosensitivity:
the hole pattern formed above was observed under a TD-SEM (CG-4000,Hitachi High-Technologies Corp.). The optimum dose (Eop) is an exposure dose (mJ/cm 2) that provides a hole diameter of 50nm at a pitch of 100nm, and is used as an index of photosensitivity.
3. Depth of focus (DOF) limit was evaluated:
pore size at the optimum dose was measured under TD-SEM (CG-4000) from which the DOF margin providing a size of 50 nm.+ -. 5nm was determined. The larger value indicates that the smaller the change in pattern size with DOF change and thus the better DOF margin.
4. Evaluation of CDU:
the hole pattern formed above was observed under TD-SEM (CG-4000) and the diameters of 125 holes were measured. From which a triple value (3σ) of the standard deviation (σ) was calculated and recorded as CDU. Smaller 3 sigma values indicate smaller deviations of the holes.
5. Evaluation of PPD:
immediately after PEB (no delay, ppd=0h) the wafer was developed in a cantilever immersion for 30 seconds to form a hole pattern with a diameter of 50nm and a pitch of 100nm. In another run, the wafer was held 6 hours after PEB (ppd=6h) and then developed as such to form a pattern.
The pore pattern at ppd=0h and 6h was observed under TD-SEM (CG-4000) and the diameter of 125 pores was measured. The average value thereof was taken as a pore size (CD), and the CDU was calculated by the same method as above. The difference between the CD at PPD 0h and the CD at PPD6h was taken as the CD shrinkage due to PPD (ΔPPDCD).
TABLE 4 Table 4
As can be seen from the above table, the photoresist composition within the scope of the present invention shows DOF and CDU improvement and a reduction in CD shrinkage (small CD change) due to PPD as compared to the photoresist composition of the comparative example.
