Description

Application of sulfoacid imine compound as KrF thick film photoresist photoacid generator
Technical Field
The invention relates to an application of a sulfoacid imine compound as a KrF thick film photoresist photoacid generator.
Background
In the field of semiconductor manufacturing, in the manufacturing process of chips such as LCD (liquid crystal display)/BUMP BUMP/MEMS micro electro mechanical system/3D-NAND memory, a thick film photoresist of a KrF light source is used, and the photoresist is different from a conventional thin layer photoresist of KrF and a photoresist of an ArF light source, and has unique performance.
Although the manufacturing technology of integrated circuit semiconductor chips is rapidly developed at present, the technology of thick film photoresist matched with the KrF light source is not fully mature, and is the hot spot field of the research of the KrF photoresist at present. In particular, the photoacid generator market for KrF thick film photoresists is relatively scarce and development is needed.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention provides application of a sulfoacid imine compound as a photoacid generator of a KrF thick film photoresist. The photoresist composition prepared by taking the sulfoacid imine compound as the photoacid generator has good rectangular adhesive film.
The invention solves the technical problems through the following technical proposal.
The invention provides an application of a sulfoacid imine compound as a photoacid generator in a KrF thick film photoresist composition, wherein the sulfoacid imine compound is shown as a formula I;
Figure BDA0003384368120000011
Figure BDA0003384368120000021
in the formula I, n is 0, 1, 2 or 3;
R 1 is-COOR 1-1 Or C 1-4 An alkyl group; r is R 1-1 Is C 1-4 An alkyl group;
R 2 is C 1-4 An alkyl group.
In a preferred embodiment, n is 0, 1 or 2.
In a preferred embodiment, R 1 is-COOR 1-1 Wherein R is 1-1 Methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl or tert-butyl, preferably ethyl.

Figure BDA0003384368120000031
the KrF thick film photoresist composition comprises the sulfoacid imine compound.
The KrF thick film photoresist composition comprises the following components: the sulfoacid imine compound, a photosensitive polymer, triethanolamine and a solvent;
the photopolymer may be a polymer that can be used for Deep Ultraviolet (DUV) light to perform photochemical reactions. For example, the photopolymer may be a polymer that chemically reacts when a photoacid generator (PAG) mixed with the photopolymer is exposed to light such as deep ultraviolet light to generate an acid, and the acid thus generated chemically reacts the polymer to increase its hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity. It should be appreciated that the photopolymer need not be directly sensitive to light (e.g., exposure of the photopolymer to light does not necessarily change the chemical composition of the photopolymer, although the chemical composition of the photopolymer may change due to the acid created by the exposed PAG that is mixed with the photopolymer). In some embodiments, the solubility of the photopolymer in the base may be increased due to photochemical reactions. In some embodiments, the photopolymer may have a structure in which a protecting group is bonded to the repeating unit, and the protecting group may be deprotected during exposure so that the photopolymer dissolves well in the base. The photoresist may be a positive photoresist in which the portions of the photoresist that are removed by subsequent photoresist development are exposed to light (e.g., DUV light). The deprotected protecting group may generate a new acid for chemical amplification.
