Description
The application is patented claim a 02823454.5 (exercise question: eurymeric resist composition and use its method that forms resist pattern, the applying date: on November 29th, 2002, international application: dividing an application PCT/JP2002/012524).
Technical field
The present invention relates to eurymeric resist composition, reach the chemistry enhancing eurymeric resist composition that the wavelength that more clearly relates to use is not more than 200nm, particularly ArF excimer laser.
Background technology
Up to now, to the polycarboxylated styrene or derivatives thereof of KrF excimer laser (248nm) the demonstration high grade of transparency, be used as the basic resin component of chemical reinforced slushing compound, wherein hydroxyl group that dissociated by theobromine, that suppress dissolving is protected always.
Yet at present the miniaturization of semiconductor element also will further develop, and therefore pursuing development uses the method for ArF excimer laser (193nm) intensely.
When using the ArF excimer laser to make the method for light source, contain the resin such as the above-mentioned polycarboxylated styrene of phenyl ring, (193nm) do not have enough transparencies for the ArF excimer laser.
Therefore, a kind of resin that can address the above problem has caused suitable interest, this resin does not contain phenyl ring, and contain the structural unit that (methyl) acrylate is derived, main chain is combined with the hydrocarbon ring such as the diamantane ring of many rings, and has proposed a variety of materials (Jap.P. (authorizing) communique 2881969, Japanese unexamined patent discloses Hei 5-346668 for the first time, Japanese unexamined patent discloses Hei 7-234511 for the first time, Japanese unexamined patent discloses Hei 9-73173 for the first time, the patented claim of Japanese unexamined discloses Hei 9-90637 for the first time, Japanese unexamined patent discloses Hei10-161313 for the first time, openly Hei 10-319595 and Japanese unexamined patent disclose Hei 11-12326 for the first time for the first time in the patented claim of Japanese unexamined).
Yet along with the development of different etching-films, can use various etching gass now in recent years, the shaggy new problem of resist film that shows after the etching has appearred in the result.
The situation that this rough surface is run into during with traditional dry type resistance erosion is different, is using resist pattern as mask on the etched film, is shown as the distortion around the hole pattern in contact hole graph, and is online and be shown as the coarse of line edge in the figure at interval.The line edge roughness refers to incomparable inconsistent scrambling on the line sidewall.
