Description

  The present invention is (1) a resist material suitable for microfabrication technology, excellent in resolution, density dependency and mask fidelity, and capable of giving a highly rectangular pattern by suppressing film loss, and (2) The present invention relates to a pattern forming method using the resist material.

  In recent years, along with the high integration and high speed of LSIs, the development of microfabrication technology using deep ultraviolet lithography and vacuum ultraviolet lithography has been energetically promoted while miniaturization of pattern rules is required. Photolithography using KrF excimer laser light with a wavelength of 248 nm as a light source has already played a central role in the actual production of semiconductor devices, but uses ArF excimer laser light with a wavelength of 193 nm to achieve further miniaturization. Studies are underway, and it has been used for some pilot production. However, ArF excimer laser lithography is immature as a technology, and various problems still remain for full-scale actual use.

  The characteristics required for a resist material compatible with ArF excimer laser lithography are transparency at a wavelength of 193 nm and resistance to dry etching, and those having both of these characteristics are 2-ethyl-2-adamantyl group, 2-methyl-2 -A resist material based on a poly (meth) acrylic acid derivative having a bulky acid-decomposable protecting group typified by an adamantyl group has been proposed (Patent Document 1: JP-A-9-73173, Patent Document 2). : JP-A-9-90637). Various materials have been proposed since then, but in most cases, a resin having a highly transparent main chain and a carboxylic acid moiety protected by a bulky tertiary alkyl group is common. .

  Among the problems of these materials, the fact that the resolution performance is immature is a fatal defect in forming a fine pattern. That is, the tertiary alkyl group generally used as a protecting group for carboxylic acid is generally low in reactivity, and in applications that require high resolution to form fine grooves, the performance is absolute. Is lacking. The reactivity can be increased to some extent by increasing the temperature of the heat treatment after exposure, but in this case, acid diffusion is promoted, and the dependence on density and mask fidelity are deteriorated. It is not an extension.

  It has also been proposed to use a methylene acetal type protecting group as a protecting group having relatively high reactivity (Patent Document 3: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-96965). Advantages of using a methylene acetal type protective group include improved sensitivity and extended resolution, but on the other hand, it has the disadvantage of being greatly affected by light leaked from the exposed area, resulting in film reduction and pattern rectangularity. Unfavorable results, such as a decline in

  In the general formula (1), the unit introduced at the abundance ratios a1 and a2 is a unit obtained by protecting a carboxylic acid with a methylene acetal type protecting group. Since the protective group of the methylene acetal type is relatively highly reactive, deprotection is likely to proceed even in a region where the focus is slightly off and the optical contrast is weakened, and as a result, the depth of focus can be widened. Further, when the reaction proceeds, it is not necessary to diffuse the acid generated by the exposure so much, so that it has an advantage of excellent characteristics such as density dependency and mask fidelity. On the other hand, since dissolution is poor, dissolution of the film progresses even with slight exposure and deprotection reactions, especially when exposed using a halftone mask, leading to film loss and pattern shape degradation. There is. As a result of working on overcoming this drawback, the present inventors have used the unit introduced at the abundance ratio b in the above general formula (1) without deteriorating the depth of focus, density dependence, and mask fidelity. The inventors have found that the reduction in film thickness can be suppressed and the rectangularity of the pattern can be maintained, and the present invention has been made.

  In the general formula (1), the unit introduced at the abundance ratio b is a unit having a tertiary alkyl ester having a large number of carbon atoms and high hydrophobicity. The effect which prevents excessive melt | dissolution of can be exhibited, and film | membrane reduction can be suppressed. In addition, since the adamantane structure contained in this unit has a small occupied volume for its large number of carbon atoms, the acid generated by the exposure diffuses easily without reducing the density of the film to be formed. It also has the effect of preventing this. Therefore, when this unit and a methylene acetal type protective group unit are used in combination with a resist material, while exhibiting good performance in all of the depth of focus, density dependence, and mask fidelity, there is little film loss. It also realizes a pattern shape with excellent rectangularity.

  Pattern formation using the resist material of the present invention can be performed by using a known lithography technique, and passes through each step of coating, heat treatment (pre-baking), exposure, heat treatment (post-exposure baking, PEB), and development. Achieved. If necessary, some additional steps may be added.

When pattern formation is performed, first, the resist material of the present invention is applied to an integrated circuit manufacturing substrate (Si, SiO ₂ , SiN, SiON, TiN, WSi, BPSG, SOG, organic antireflection film, Cr, CrO, CrON, (MoSi, etc.) is applied on the hot plate by a suitable coating method such as spin coating, roll coating, flow coating, dip coating, spray coating, doctor coating, etc. so that the coating film thickness is 0.01 to 2.0 μm. At 60 to 150 ° C. for 1 to 10 minutes, preferably 80 to 140 ° C. for 1 to 5 minutes. As the resist film becomes thinner, the processing becomes stricter due to the etching selectivity of the substrate to be processed. Underneath the resist film is a silicon-containing intermediate film, underneath it is a lower layer film with high carbon density and high etching resistance. A three-layer process in which workpiece substrates are stacked is being studied. The etching selectivity between the silicon-containing intermediate film using oxygen gas, hydrogen gas, ammonia gas, or the like and the lower layer film is high, and the silicon-containing intermediate film can be thinned. The etching selectivity between the single-layer resist film and the silicon-containing intermediate layer is also relatively high, and the single-layer resist film can be made thinner. In this case, examples of the method for forming the lower layer film include a method using coating and baking, and a method using CVD. In the case of the coating type, a novolak resin or a resin obtained by polymerizing an olefin having a condensed ring is used, and a gas such as butane, ethane, propane, ethylene, or acetylene is used for forming a CVD film. Also in the case of a silicon-containing intermediate layer, there are a coating type and a CVD type. Examples of the coating type include silsesquioxane and cage oligosilsesquioxane (POSS). For CVD, various silane gases are listed as raw materials. It is done. The silicon-containing intermediate layer may have an antireflection function having light absorption, and may be a light-absorbing group such as a phenyl group or a SiON film. An organic film may be formed between the silicon-containing intermediate film and the photoresist film, and the organic film in this case may be an organic antireflection film. After the formation of the photoresist film, pure water rinsing (post-soak) may be performed to extract the acid generator or the like from the film surface, or the particles may be washed away, or a protective film may be applied.

Next, using a light source selected from ultraviolet rays, far ultraviolet rays, electron beams, X-rays, excimer lasers, γ rays, synchrotron radiation and the like, exposure is performed through a predetermined mask for forming a target pattern. Exposure is preferably about 1 to 200 mJ / cm ^2, particularly about 10 to 100 mJ / cm ² is more preferable. Next, post exposure baking (PEB) is performed on a hot plate at 60 to 150 ° C. for 1 to 5 minutes, preferably 80 to 120 ° C. for 1 to 3 minutes. Further, 0.1 to 5% by weight, preferably 2 to 3% by weight, using an aqueous developer such as tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) for 0.1 to 3 minutes, preferably 0.5 to 2 minutes. The target pattern is formed on the substrate by development using a conventional method such as a dip method, a paddle method, or a spray method. The resist material of the present invention is preferably a far ultraviolet ray having a wavelength of 254 to 193 nm, a vacuum ultraviolet ray having a wavelength of 157 nm, an electron beam, a soft X-ray, an X-ray, an excimer laser, a γ ray, a synchrotron radiation, and more preferably a wavelength of 180. It is optimal for fine patterning with high energy rays in the range of ˜200 nm.

  The resist material of the present invention can also be applied to immersion lithography. In ArF immersion lithography, a liquid that has a refractive index of 1 or more and is highly transparent at the exposure wavelength, such as pure water or alkane, is used as the immersion solvent. In immersion lithography, pure water or other liquid is inserted between a pre-baked resist film and a projection lens. As a result, a lens with an NA of 1.0 or more can be designed, and a finer pattern can be formed. Immersion lithography is an important technique for extending the life of ArF lithography to the 45 nm node, and its development has been accelerated. In the case of immersion exposure, pure water rinsing (post-soak) after exposure to remove the remaining water droplets on the resist film may be performed, and elution from the resist is prevented, and the film surface is lubricated. In order to increase the thickness, a protective film may be formed on the resist film after pre-baking. As a resist protective film used in immersion lithography, for example, a polymer compound having a 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol residue that is insoluble in water and dissolved in an alkaline developer is used. A base and a material dissolved in an alcohol solvent having 4 or more carbon atoms, an ether solvent having 8 to 12 carbon atoms, or a mixed solvent thereof is preferable.

  Furthermore, as a technique for extending the life of ArF lithography up to 32 nm, a double patterning method can be mentioned. As the double patterning method, the base of the 1: 3 trench pattern is processed by the first exposure and etching, the position is shifted, the 1: 3 trench pattern is formed by the second exposure, and the 1: 1 pattern is formed. The first base of the 1: 3 isolated residual pattern is processed by the trench method, the first exposure and the etching, and the 1: 3 isolated residual pattern is formed under the first base by shifting the position and the second exposure. Further, there is a line method in which the second base is processed to form a 1: 1 pattern with a half pitch.

This was exposed using an ArF excimer laser stepper (manufactured by Nikon Corporation, NA = 0.85), subjected to a heat treatment (PEB) for 60 seconds, and then a 2.38 mass% tetramethylammonium hydroxide aqueous solution was added. Using this, paddle development was performed for 60 seconds to form a 1: 1 contact hole pattern and a 1:10 isolated hole pattern. In PEB, a temperature optimized for each resist material was applied.

An isolated hole pattern of 1:10 is also observed at the optimum exposure amount, an actual dimension on the wafer of an isolated hole pattern having a mask size of 140 nm is measured, and mask fidelity is determined by a difference between the hole size of 1: 1 and 1:10 ( The smaller the dimensional difference, the better. In addition, the range of the focal point at which the 1:10 isolated hole pattern was opened at the optimum exposure amount was also measured, and the depth of focus (the wider the range, the better).
