Definitions
- This invention relates to the production of elec ⁇ trical devices using photolithography. More parti- 5 cularly, this invention relates to improvements in photolithography utilizing positive photoresist to provide sharper resolution by reducing reflected radiation.
- the photosensitive layer is partially transparent and that the underlying substrate (e.g., polysilicon, aluminum, or sili-
- inter ⁇ mediate resist layer which is chemically dissimilar so that neither layer is soluble in the other's developer.
- Near-UV radiation is used to expose the top layer while deep-UV is used to expose the
- the absorbing agent is used in an amount sufficient to absorb enough radiation to prevent any substantial reflection back through the photo ⁇ sensitive coating layer of radiation initially passing through the layer from an external radia- tion source to the material beneath said photosen ⁇ sitive coating layer.
- Figure 2 is a fragmentary cross-sectional view of a subsequent stage of the process.
- Figure 3 is a fragmentary cross-sectional view of a further step of the process.
- the invention comprises an improved photolitho ⁇ graphy process which results in the reduction of reflection damage in microlithographic imaging by increasing the optical density or absorbance of a positive photosensitive layer or photoresist through the addition to the positive photosensitive layer of a suitably chosen unbleachable light ab ⁇ sorbing agent.
- the concentration of the unbleachable absorbing agent, when added as a dye to the photoresist, may vary from 0.1 to 1.0% by weight of the total photo- sensitive material.
- the dye is used in a concentration of from 0.25 to 0.5 weight per cent.
- the amount of dye used is very important because a minimum amount must be used to realize the beneficial effects of the invention, i.e., to provide sufficient absorption of reflected light.
- the amount of dye used will permit the passage of enough light through the layer to properly expose the photoresist but will be present in an amount sufficient to absorb light reflected from the substrate beneath the photore- sist back into the photoresist layer.
- the amount of -dye used should, therefore, add about 0.225 to 0.45 micron " to the absorption coefficient to provide sufficient additional absorbance to inhibit reflec ⁇ tion of light back through the positive photore- sist.
- the dye is preselected to have a high absorption at the wavelength used to pattern the photosensitive coating, e.g., 436 nm, while exhibiting high transmission of light at another preselected wavelength used to align the mask used in patterning with previous patterns in layers underlying the photosensitive coating, e.g., 633 nm. , or, in some cases, a broad band of from 500 -700 nm.
- the absorbing dye used will be one which also will fluoresce upon exposure to radiation thereby pro ⁇ viding, as an additional benefit, the potential ability to measure and inspect micron-level- resist features through the use of fluorescence microscopy as opposed to conventional bright-field microscopy.
- a particularly preferred dye which has been found to be useful in the practice of the invention is a dye distributed under the trademark COUMARIN 504 by Exciton Corporation of Dayton, Ohio, or COUMARIN
- a 1 micron film of aluminum containing 1% silicon and 0.5% copper was sputter deposited on a sub ⁇ strate.
- a positive photoresist coating containing 0.3% by weight COUMARIN 504 was deposited on the aluminum film. to a thickness of 1.6 micron.
- the dye-containing photoresist was soft baked at 100°C for 300 seconds in an infrared convection track oven.
- the baked resist was then exposed to a pattern of 436 nm light for about 0.50 seconds at an intensity of roughly 300 milliwatts per square centimeter.
- the exposed resist was then developed with an AZ351 developer in a ratio of 1 part devel ⁇ oper to 5 parts water at 21°C for 180 seconds.
- the resist was then rinsed with deionized water and allowed to dry.
- the invention provides an improved process wherein a' photoresist material is provided with a selected amount of a light absorbing dye capable of absorbing a sufficient amount of light at the wave length of exposure whereby the radiation used to expose the photoresist will be absorbed sufficient ⁇ ly by the dye therein to prevent or inhibit the reflectance back into the photoresist layer of light from the underlying* substrate thereby reduc- ing or eliminating standing waves as well as scat ⁇ tered light which would otherwise result from such reflection.
