Description
PHOTORESIST COMPOSITION HAVING EXCELLENT
RESISTANCE TO POST EXPOSURE DELAY EFFECT
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a photoresist composition and a process for forming a photoresist pattern using the same. More specifically, it relates to a photoresist composition with excellent resistance against post exposure delay and process for forming a photoresist pattern using it.
Background of the Invention
Recently, chemical amplification type DUV photoresists have been investigated in order to achieve high sensitivity in minute image formation processes for preparing semiconductor devices. Such photoresists are prepared by blending a photoacid generator and matrix resin polymer having an acid labile group.
According to the reaction mechanism of such a photoresist, the photoacid generator generates acid when it is illuminated by a light source, and the main chain or branched chain of the resin is reacted with the generated acid to be decomposed or crosslinked.
The polarity change of the resin induces solubility differences between the exposed portion and unexposed portion in the developing solution, to form a predetermined pattern.
In the lithography process, resolution depends upon the wavelength of the light source-the shorter the wavelength, the more minute pattern can be formed.
In general, a photoresist (sometimes abbreviated herein as"PR") must satisfy various requisites such as excellent etching resistance, heat resistance and adhesiveness, and more preferably, it should be developable in 2.38 wt% aqueous tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) solution. However, it is very difficult to synthesize a polymer that satisfies all of these requisites. For example, a polymer having a polyacrylate main chain can be easily synthesized, but it has poor etching resistance and has difficulties in the developing process. In order to secure etching resistance, it has been considered to add an alicyclic unit to the main chain of the PR polymer. However, in this case, another practical problem occurs in the process for manufacturing the semiconductor. That is, the acid generated by exposure of the photoresist may react with environmental amine compounds thereby being reduced-during the time between exposure and post exposure baking ("post exposure delay effect"). Thus, the pattern may be deformed or the formed pattern may have T-shape (e. g.,"T-topping"of the pattern). It is required to minimize the concentration of amine in the manufacturing environment because these phenomena become more serious when the concentration of environmental amine is more than 30ppb.
Some methods to overcome these phenomena have been described in the prior art; for example, (1) adding amine to the PR composition, (2) adding a"sweet" photoacid generator to the PR composition (See Frank
Houlihan et al., Journal of Photopolymer Science and
Technology, Vol. 11, No. 3,1998,419-430), and (3) improving the PR resin itself (See J. Byers et al.,
Journal of Photopolymer Science and Technology, Vol. 11,
No. 3,1998,465-474). However, these methods require additional processes to control the concentration of amine in the environment, because they are only effective when the concentration of environmental amine is less than 5ppb, thereby resulting ; n a high manufacturing cost.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide a photoresist composition that can provide a good photoresist pattern in the presence of a high concentration of amine.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Fig. 1 to Fig. 13 show photoresist patterns obtained from embodiments of the present invention.
Fig. 14 is a graph showing data that was obtained in Example 11.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a photoresist composition which comprises (i) a photoresist polymer, and (ii) a non-Newtonian organic solvent which imparts a shear thinning characteristic to the composition.
"Shear thinning characteristic"means that the viscosity of a material reduces when stress is applied to the material. A non-Newtonian solvent is one whose flow behavior departs from that of a Newtonian fluid, so that the rate of shear is not proportional to the corresponding stress.
Preferred non-Newtonian solvents comprise ketone solvents and ester solvents. The most preferred ketone solvents are selected from the group consisting of cyclohexanone, isobutyl methyl ketone, 2-heptanone, 3heptanone, 4-heptanone, cyclopentanone, 2methylcyclopentanone, 3-methylcyclopentanone, 2methylcyclohexanone, 3-methylcyclohexanone and 2,4dimethylpentanone; and the most preferred ester solvents are selected from the group consisting of ethyl lactate and 2-methoxyethyl lactate.
It is preferable to use a polymer comprising alicyclic units in its main chain as the photoresist polymer in the photoresist composition of the present invention; most preferably the polymer represented by following Chemical Formula 1 :
< Chemical Formula 1 >
wherein a, b, c and d individually represent the polymerization ratio of each comonomer.
Sulfide or onium type compounds are preferably used as the photoacid generator. Suitable photoacid generators may be one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of diphenyl iodide hexafluorophosphate, diphenyl iodide hexafluoroarsenate, diphenyliodide hexafluoroantimonate, diphenyl pmethoxyphenyl triflate, diphenyl p-toluenyl triflate, diphenyl p-isobutylphenyl triflate, diphenyl p-tertbutylphenyl triflate, triphenylsulfonium hexafluorophosphate, triphenylsulfonium hexafluoroarsenate, triphenylsulfonium hexafluoroantimonate, triphenylsulfonium triflate and dibutylnaphthylsulfonium triflate.
In order to form a photoresist pattern using the photoresist composition of the present invention, the photoresist composition is spin-coated on a silicon wafer, and"soft-baked."Then, the photoresist is exposed to 1 to 30mJ/cm2 of light energy using exposure equipment with ArF, KrF, E-beam, EUV or X-ray radiation, and then"post-baked"at a temperature of about 90 C to 170 C for about 1 to 5 minutes. Then, the wafer is developed in a developing solution, for example aqueous TMAH (tetramethylammonium hydroxide) solution, to obtain a micro pattern, preferably of 0.19
Am or less.
The present inventors have found that changing the three-dimensional structure of the photoresist polymer molecules in the photoresist composition being coated may produce a coated photoresist layer having excellent stability to the post exposure delay effect.
Generally, there are many gaps among molecules when photoresist resins containing alicyclic units are coated on a wafer substrate to form the photoresist layer of a semiconductor device. These gaps make it easy to exhaust acids generated from photoresist layer by exposure and also allow the photoresist layer to be permeated by amines which react with and thereby remove the generated acids. It is impossible to form micro patterns if the post exposure delay effect occurs, since the generated acids are neutralized by environmental amines which permeate the photoresist layer. As a result, chemical amplification cannot be carried out by evaporation of acids when the photoresist layer is post-baked, i. e. baked at high temperature in order to diffuse acid before development.
The above problems can be solved by reducing the gaps among the polymer molecules in the PR layer by using specific organic solvents in the coated PR composition in accordance with the present invention.
Non-Newtonian organic solvents of the present invention impart shear thinning characteristics to the photoresist composition. It is believed that the abovementioned gaps among polymer molecules are reduced when the solvents of the present invention are used because the polymer molecules of a shear thinning solution are in rigid rod, oval or helix shapes. These shapes orient parallel to the shear direction and therefore are coated in a more tightly packed structure, thereby producing little or no gaps between molecules in the coated layer and providing good photoresist patterns even though when there is post exposure delay.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
The invention is described in more detail by referring to the Examples below, but it should be noted that the present invention is not restricted to the examples by any means.
In the following examples, the obtained patterns are compared with one another, with the only change being the solvent of the photoresist composition. The concentration of the environmental amines is kept at 30ppb in all the following examples.

< Chemical Formula 2 >
The composition was spin-coated on wafers pretreated with hexamethyldisilazane at 23 C and baked at 150 C for 90 seconds. After baking, 91 dies were exposed to light by using an ArF laser exposer increasing the amount of exposing light for each successive die by 1 mJ/cm2 from 10 mJ/cm2 to 100 Mj/CMI.
The wafers were then baked again at 140 C for 90 seconds without post exposure delay.
When the baking was completed, the wafers were developed in 2.38 wt% aqueous TMAH solution, but a pattern was not obtained, as shown in Fig. 13.
As demonstrated in Comparative Examples 1, 2 and 3 above, patterns were not obtained when Newtonian solvents were used, even without a post exposure delay.
Particularly, in Comparative Example 3, a pattern was not obtained in the presence of a high concentration of amine, despite using a sweet photoacid generator.
On the other hand, good patterns were obtained even after post exposure delay, when non-Newtonian solvents of the present invention were used. Without being bound by theory, it is believed that the structure of PR polymer molecule is changed under shear to rigid rod, oval or helix shapes when the PR polymer is mixed with a non-Newtonian solvent, thereby allowing the polymer molecules to be closely packed together when coated and reducing the gaps among polymer molecules in the coated layer. The reduction of gaps significantly reduces the permeation of amines into the
PR layer.
Invention Examples 1-10 demonstrate that it is more effective to use the non-Newtonian solvents of the present invention in the PR composition if the concentration of environmental amine is high during the photolithography process.
Additional ketone solvents such as 2methylcyclopentanone, 3-methylcyclopentanone, 2methylcyclohexanone, 3-methylcyclo hexanone and 2,4dimethylpentanone may be also be used instead of solvents used in Invention Examples 1-10 to provide a
PR composition with stability to the post exposure delay effect in accordance with the present invention..
In the following Example 11, the viscosities of PR polymer solutions using different solvents were measured to examine in more detail why dissolving the
PR polymer in the specific solvents of the present invention provide a PR composition which forms a PR layer stable to the post exposure delay effect.
Example n The viscosity of solutions comprising the resin of
Chemical Formula 1 (lOg) dissolved in 40g of four solvents; respectively, (1) 2-heptanone, (2) isobutylmethyl ketone, (3) 2-methoxyethyl acetate and (4) propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, is measured at various shear rates. The shape of the resin molecule in the solvent can be guessed by comparing shear viscosity with shear rate (as shown in Fig. 14), because those solutions that exhibit shear-thinning characteristics are known to possess rigid rod, oval or helix shapes.
The results shown in Fig. 14 demonstrate that the propylene glycol methyl ether acetate solution, which is unstable to the post exposure delay effect, has the characteristics of Newtonian fluid in that its viscosity does not react to a change in shear rate.
On the other hand, the 2-heptanone, isobutylmethyl ketone and 2-methoxyethyl acetate solutions, which are stable to the post exposure delay effect, have the shear thinning characteristics of non-Newtonian fluid in that their viscosities change with a change in shear rate.
These results establish indirectly that the shape of the PR polymer molecule in the PR compositions of the present invention is rigid rod, oval or helix and correlates this shape to good photolithography patterns which are stable to the post exposure delay effect. By selecting a non-Newtonian solvent for the PR composition, the PR polymer takes on shape under shear conditions that reduces the gaps among the PR polymer molecules when coated as a PR layer, thereby inhibiting amines from penetrating into the coated PR layer.
Moreover, the present invention reduces the cost of the photolithography process since excellent PR patterns are obtained merely by selecting a specific solvent rather than by using an additional process.
