Description

EUV/EB photoresist, preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to EUV/EB photoresist, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The use of photoresists is necessary and common in semiconductor manufacturing processes. In recent years, the integration level of integrated circuits has become higher and higher, and it has been required to form ultra fine (ultra fine) patterns in the sub-micron or quarter micron region. To address this need, exposure wavelengths also tend to become shorter (e.g., from g-line to i-line, or further to KrF excimer laser). Currently, development using electron beam, X-ray or EUV lithography in addition to excimer laser is under investigation and development.
Photolithography using electron beam, X-ray, or EUV light is positioned as a next-generation (next-generation) or a next-generation (next-next-generation) patterning technique, and is required to be a high-sensitivity, high-resolution resist.
In general, high-sensitivity implementation is a very important task, but when high-sensitivity implementation is sought, resolution tends to be reduced and line edge roughness (Line edge roughness, LER) is deteriorated, so that photoresist technology that meets the technical requirements in these aspects at the same time is difficult. Edge roughness means the following: the edge at the interface between the resist pattern and the substrate irregularly undulates in a direction perpendicular to the line direction due to the characteristics of the resist, and when the pattern is viewed from above, the edge appears as an uneven appearance. This unevenness is transferred in an etching step using a resist as a mask, resulting in a reduction in yield.
The sensitivity, the resolution and the roughness have the relationship of mutual trade-off, so that the balance of the sensitivity, the resolution and the roughness is improved, the difficulty is high, and the technical problem to be solved in the industry is urgent.
