Description

Monodisperse part protected molecule, preparation method thereof and application thereof in lithography
Technical Field
The application belongs to the technical field of materials, and particularly relates to a monodisperse part-protected molecule, a preparation method thereof and application thereof in lithography.
Background
Photoresists are a class of photon or electron sensitive thin film materials that after irradiation, have significant solubility differences between exposed and non-exposed areas, and are further developed to provide lithographic patterns. The photoresist film acts as a barrier layer, and its properties determine the quality of the lithographic pattern, which in turn affects the quality of the subsequent etching process and the substrate pattern.
The performance of a photoresist is generally evaluated in terms of Resolution (Resolution), sensitivity (Sensitivity), line edge roughness (Line Edge Roughness, LER)/line width roughness (Line Width Roughness, LWR), contrast (Contrast), etch resistance (Etching Durability), and gas production (outlay). In order to meet the increasing demands of the semiconductor industry for chip integration, excellent photoresist must have the characteristics of high resolution, high sensitivity, low line edge roughness, high etching resistance, low gas yield, and the like. Therefore, the development of high-performance photoresist is of great significance.
The traditional chemical amplification photoresist main body material generally adopts polymer resin with molecular weight of 5000-15000 daltons, the photoetching resolution is limited by molecular size and acid distribution non-uniformity, and meanwhile, the main body material is not suitable for the next generation extreme ultraviolet photoetching because of factors such as large polymer molecular volume, polydisperse molecular weight, molecular chain winding and the like, which easily cause larger line edge roughness. At present, research hot spots of extreme ultraviolet photoresist concentrate on molecular glass, and the small molecular compound has a definite molecular structure, stable amorphous state and high glass transition temperature, and simultaneously has the thermal stability and film forming property of a polymer, thereby being suitable for being used as a main material of high-resolution photoresist. According to the report of the related literature, a very good result is obtained by taking molecular glass as a main material of the photoresist, and the resolution of the photoetching stripes can reach below 20nm by means of extreme ultraviolet photoetching technology (Performance of EUV molecular resists based on fullerene derivatives-Proc. SPIE 7972 (2011) 797209). However, the main material of the molecular glass photoresist is basically a part of protection structure with polydisperse acid sensitive groups. The polydisperse partially protected structure is a mixture of which the synthesized molecular structure is not identical and the position and number of protecting groups is indeterminate. In finer lithography, fine differences in molecular structure can also have a significant impact on the lithographic results.

3. The microelectronic device usually adopts a high-purity silicon wafer as a substrate, has stronger hydrophilicity, and generally needs to be subjected to hydrophobic treatment before film coating. The molecular glass protected by the monodisperse part has phenolic hydroxyl groups, so that the adhesion to a substrate is improved. Meanwhile, hydrogen bonding exists between molecules, so that acting force between the molecules is increased, the film is harder, the glass transition temperature of the film is improved, and the exposure pattern is not easy to collapse;
4. the molecular glass photoresist with the monodispersed part protection has higher sensitivity compared with the molecular glass photoresist with the whole protection because the molecule itself contains part of phenolic hydroxyl groups. In addition, the proportion of acid sensitive groups is reduced, and the proportion of hydrocarbon of partially protected molecular glass is increased, so that the etching resistance of the photoresist is improved;
5. the selected core skeleton is halogenated polyphenols, and after palladium catalytic coupling, a branched polyphenyl structure is formed, so that a stable amorphous state is easy to form, and spin coating film formation is facilitated;
6. the molecular glass protected by the monodisperse part enables the accumulation between molecules to be more compact, can enhance the etching resistance of the film, reduces the proportion of acid sensitive groups in the whole molecule, and is also beneficial to enhancing the etching resistance of the molecules. The molecular glass photoresist of the monodisperse part contains naked phenolic hydroxyl groups and can be modified again according to requirements. For example, introducing silicon-containing units, increasing etch resistance, introducing sulfur-containing units, increasing refractive index, etc.

Example 6
A positive photoresist composition comprising the bis- ((4-hydroxy-3, 5-bis (4-t-butylcarbonate) phenyl) sulfoxide, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, and triphenylsulfonium perfluoro-butylsulfonate salt obtained in example 2. The specific method comprises the following steps: the compound di- ((4-hydroxy-3, 5-di (4-tertiary butyl carbonate) phenyl) sulfoxide prepared in example 2 was dissolved in Propylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether Acetate (PGMEA) to prepare a solution with a mass concentration of 5%, 0.5wt% of triphenylsulfonium perfluoro-butylsulfonate as photoacid generator was added, and the solution was filtered with a microporous filter with a pore size of 0.1 μm to obtain a spin-coating solution, spin-coated on a silicon wafer substrate, baked at 100 ℃ for 2 minutes, and the prepared film was subjected to electron beam lithography experiments in a national center of nano-meter, an exposure period of 80nm, to obtain very uniform lithography stripes with a line width of 30nm, and lithography results were shown in fig. 2.
Example 7
Substances A, B and C are each a monodisperse partially protected compound di- ((4-hydroxy-3, 5-bis (4-tert-butylcarbonate) phenyl) adamantane, a fully protected compound di- ((4-tert-butylcarbonate-3, 5-bis (4-tert-butylcarbonate) phenyl) adamantane and a polydispersity di- ((4-hydroxy-3, 5-bis (4-hydroxy) phenyl) adamantane derivative with a protection ratio of 67%, wherein compound A is derived from the synthesis of examples 3, B and C by the prior patent (patent application number: CN 201710578509.8). The substances A, B and C are respectively used as a main material of the photoresist, and the positive photoresist is composed of triphenylsulfonium perfluoro-butyl sulfonate and propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate. The specific method comprises the following steps: taking a substance A as an example, dissolving the substance A in propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate to prepare a solution with a mass concentration of 5%, adding 0.5wt% of triphenylsulfonium perfluoro-butylsulfonate as a photoacid generator, and filtering by a microporous filter with a pore diameter of 0.1 mu m to obtain a spin-on solution. And (3) dripping a proper amount of spin coating liquid onto a silicon wafer substrate, spin coating to form a film, baking at 100 ℃ for 2 minutes, and removing the photoresist solvent. And carrying out an electron beam lithography experiment on the prepared photoresist film in the national center of nanometer, wherein the electron beam lithography layout is 30nm L/S. The substances B and C are prepared in the same manner to obtain a photoresist film, and electron beam lithography is performed. After the exposure was completed, development was performed with 2.38wt% TMAH lye, rinsed with ultrapure water for 60s and dried by blowing nitrogen gas. FIGS. 3 (a), (b) and (C) are lithographic patterns obtained by electron beam exposure using substances A, B and C, respectively, as host materials. From the point of view of the quality and contrast of the lithographic pattern, FIG. 3 (a) is significantly better than (b) and (c). The groove part in fig. 3 (b) cannot be completely cleaned, and obvious bridging exists between the photoetching stripes, because the surface of the fully-protected main body material is too hydrophobic, hydrophilic developing solution is difficult to permeate into the groove part, so that the development is incomplete, more defects appear in the photoetching pattern, and the resolution ratio of the photoetching pattern is affected. FIG. 3 (c) is a graph showing that not only the contrast is poor, but also the photoresist stripe is broken because the main material of the exposure area is multi-dispersible, the deprotection ratio of the acid-sensitive group is not uniform, the dissolution rate in the developing solution is not uniform, and the developing condition of each part is not uniform, so that the stripe is broken. Compared with the main materials B and C, the molecular structure of the compound A is determined, the deprotection proportion of the exposed area tends to be consistent, the dissolution rate in the developing solution tends to be consistent, and the conditions of breaking and blurring of the photoetching pattern are avoided. Meanwhile, the phenolic hydroxyl exposed by the compound A is beneficial to adjusting the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of the surface of the film, so that the developing solution can be spread on the surface of the film, the developing solution can enter the groove, and the cleaning area is cleaner. In addition, the compound protected by the monodisperse part is used as a main body material, and the photoetching sensitivity is highest, because the main body material contains part of naked phenolic hydroxyl groups, and can be dissolved in a developing solution only by small dose exposure.
Example 8
Substances E, F and G are, respectively, monodisperse partially protected compound di- ((4-hydroxy-3, 5-bis (4-tert-butylcarbonate) phenyl) propane, fully protected compound di- ((4-tert-butylcarbonate-3, 5-bis (4-tert-butylcarbonate) phenyl) propane and polydispersity di- ((4-hydroxy-3, 5-bis (4-hydroxy) phenyl) propane derivatives with a protection ratio of 67%, wherein compound E is derived from the synthetic reference existing patents of examples 4,F and G (patent application number: CN 201210156675.6). Their glass transition temperatures were measured by a differential scanning calorimeter and the results are shown in FIG. 4. By analysis and calculation, the glass transition temperature was E (143 ℃) to F (127 ℃) to G (102 ℃) in this order from high to low. G is a polydisperse mixture, resulting in a minimum glass transition temperature. E is a monodisperse part protecting compound, and the exposed hydroxyl enhances the acting force between molecules through hydrogen bonding, so that the glass transition temperature is the highest. According to the report of related literature (DOI: 10.1016/j.mee.2007.01.052), strong intermolecular force and high glass transition temperature are beneficial to inhibiting collapse of the lithography pattern and enhancing resolution and contrast of the lithography pattern.
Example 9
The materials E, F and G in example 8 were used as a resist host material, respectively, and triphenylsulfonium triflate and propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate were used to make up a positive resist. The specific method comprises the following steps: taking a substance E as an example, dissolving the substance E in propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate to prepare a solution with a mass concentration of 5%, adding 0.5wt% of triphenylsulfonium triflate as a photoacid generator, and filtering by a microporous filter with a pore diameter of 0.1 mu m to obtain a spin-on solution. And (3) dripping a proper amount of spin coating liquid onto a silicon wafer substrate, spin coating to form a film, baking at 100 ℃ for 2 minutes, and removing the photoresist solvent. And (3) carrying out extreme ultraviolet lithography on the prepared photoresist film at a soft X-ray station of the Shanghai synchrotron radiation light source, wherein the period of the grating is 100nm. The substances F and G are prepared in exactly the same way to obtain a photoresist film, and extreme ultraviolet lithography is performed. After the exposure was completed, the film was developed with 2.38wt% TMAH lye, rinsed with ultra pure water for 60s and dried with nitrogen. FIGS. 5 (e), (f) and (G) are lithographic patterns obtained by EUV exposure using substances E, F and G, respectively, as host materials. From the point of view of the quality and contrast of the lithographic pattern, FIG. 5 (e) is significantly better than FIGS. (f) and (g). The groove portion of fig. 5 (f) is not completely cleaned because the surface of the fully protected main material is too hydrophobic, and the hydrophilic developing solution is difficult to penetrate into the groove portion, so that the development is not thorough, and the resolution of the lithography pattern is affected. FIG. 5 (G) is a diagram showing not only poor pattern contrast but also collapse of the photolithographic stripe due to the polydispersion of the material G, relatively low glass transition temperature, weak mechanical strength of the photolithographic stripe, and easy collapse of the pattern when the aspect ratio is too large. Compared with the main materials F, G and E, the compound has definite molecular structure and contains naked phenolic hydroxyl groups, the acting force between molecules is enhanced by means of hydrogen bond action, and the mechanical strength of the photoresist film is improved, so that the photoresist film is not easy to collapse. Meanwhile, the phenolic hydroxyl group exposed out of the compound E can reduce the hydrophobicity of the film surface, so that the developing solution can be conveniently spread on the film surface, the developing solution can enter the groove, the cleaning place is cleaner, and the resolution of the photoetching pattern is improved. Similar to example 7, the compound protected by the monodisperse moiety was used as the host material, and the lithography sensitivity was the highest, as in example 7.
