Description

  The present invention relates to a silicon-containing film forming composition for a multilayer resist process, a silicon-containing film, and a pattern forming method. More specifically, the present invention relates to a silicon-containing film forming composition for a multi-layer resist process, a silicon-containing film, and a method for forming a lower layer film as a base when a resist pattern is formed on a substrate in a multi-layer resist process. The present invention relates to a pattern forming method.

In pattern formation when manufacturing semiconductor elements and the like, fine processing of a substrate made of an organic material or an inorganic material is performed by a pattern transfer method using a lithography technique, a resist development process, and an etching technique.
However, as the integration of semiconductor elements and the like on a circuit board increases, it becomes difficult to accurately transfer the pattern of the optical mask to the resist film in the exposure process. For example, it is formed in the resist film in a microfabrication process for the substrate. Due to the influence of the standing wave of the generated light, an error (inconsistency) may occur in the dimension of the formed pattern. In order to reduce the influence of such standing waves, an antireflection film is formed between the resist film and the substrate surface.

  Further, when processing a substrate on which a silicon oxide film, an inorganic interlayer insulating film, or the like is processed, a resist pattern is used as a mask. However, as the pattern becomes finer, it is necessary to make the resist film and the antireflection film thinner. As the resist film becomes thinner in this way, the mask performance of the resist film decreases, and it tends to be difficult to perform desired fine processing without damaging the substrate.

  Therefore, a processing lower layer film (silicon-containing film) is formed on the oxide film or interlayer insulating film of the substrate to be processed, a resist pattern is transferred to this, and the processing lower layer film is used as a mask to form an oxide film. In addition, a process of dry etching the interlayer insulating film is performed. Since the reflectance of such a processing lower layer film varies depending on the film thickness, it is necessary to adjust the composition or the like so that the reflectance is minimized according to the film thickness used. Further, the processing lower layer film can form a resist pattern without tailing, has excellent adhesion to the resist, has sufficient masking properties when processing an oxide film or an interlayer insulating film, It is required that the amount of penetration of the material into the resist underlayer film is small, the etching selectivity in the resist film / resist underlayer film is excellent, and the storage stability as a solution is excellent.

  In general, the etching selectivity in the resist film / resist underlayer film can be improved by increasing the content of Si atoms contained in the silicon-containing film. As a composition for obtaining a silicon-containing film having a large Si content, a resin composition made of polysiloxane using tetraalkoxysilane has been proposed (see Patent Documents 1 and 2).

JP 2000-356854 A JP 2002-40668 A

However, a resin composition composed of polysiloxane using tetraalkoxysilane has a problem that it is not sufficient in terms of storage stability.
In addition, with the recent miniaturization of resist patterns, it has become more important than ever to suppress the amount of resist material soaked into the resulting lower processing film.
However, in the resin composition for forming a processing underlayer film that has been proposed so far, the suppression of the amount of the resist material soaked into the obtained processing underlayer film is not yet sufficient. There is a need for improvement. Furthermore, there is a need for a resin composition that can provide a processing lower layer film that can stably form a resist pattern without skirting.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a silicon-containing film that has excellent storage stability, a high Si content, and a low penetration amount of a resist material, and can stably form a resist pattern that does not cause tailing or the like. An object of the present invention is to provide a composition for forming a silicon-containing film for a multilayer resist process.

The film thickness change rate was calculated, and a case where the value was 5% or less was evaluated as “◯”, and a case where the value exceeded 5% was evaluated as “X”.

(2) Adhesion By applying a composition for forming a lower layer film (trade name “NFC HM8005”, manufactured by JSR Corporation) on a silicon wafer with a spin coater and drying it on a hot plate at 250 ° C. for 60 seconds. A lower layer film having a thickness of 300 nm was formed.
Thereafter, a silicon-containing film-forming composition for a multilayer resist process was applied onto this lower layer film by a spin coater and baked on a hot plate at 250 ° C. for 60 seconds to form a silicon-containing film.
Next, a resist material “AIM5056JN” (manufactured by JSR Corporation) was applied onto the silicon-containing film and dried at 90 ° C. for 60 seconds. The resist film thickness at this time was controlled to 120 nm. Thereafter, using an ArF excimer laser irradiation apparatus “S306C” (manufactured by Nikon Corporation), the substrate was irradiated at 32 mJ / cm ² and then heated at 115 ° C. for 60 seconds. Subsequently, the resist film was developed with a 2.38% tetramethylammonium hydroxide aqueous solution for 30 seconds to form an 80 nm line and space resist pattern.
When the resist pattern formed on the substrate as described above is observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM), the case where the resist pattern is not developed and peeled is indicated as “◯”, and the case where the developed film is peeled off. Evaluated as “x”.

(3) Reproducibility of resist pattern A resist pattern formed by the same method as in (2) above is observed with an SEM, and no resist film remains in the area irradiated with the laser. The case where the AND space pattern was faithfully reproduced was evaluated as “◯”, and the case where it was not faithfully reproduced was evaluated as “X”.

(4) Smudge resistance A silicon-containing layer film forming composition for a multilayer resist process is applied on a silicon wafer by a spin coating method and baked at 200 ° C. for 60 seconds to form a silicon-containing layer film having a film thickness of 45 nm. did. Thereafter, a resist (manufactured by JSR, “AIM5056JN”) is applied onto the silicon-containing film (resist underlayer film), dried at 100 ° C. for 1 minute, and the thickness of the resulting resist is measured by a film thickness meter (Dainippon Screen) Manufactured, product name “VM2010”). Next, ArF irradiation was performed through a non-patterned quartz mask. Then, after baking for 90 second at 115 degreeC, it developed for 1 minute with 2.38% tetramethylammonium hydroxide aqueous solution. The film thickness of the resist after development was measured with the film thickness meter.
Then, the difference between the resist film thickness before exposure and the resist film thickness after exposure / development is calculated as the permeation resistance, and when the value is 10 mm or less, “◯”, when it exceeds 10 mm, “× ".

(5) Resistance to developer The composition for forming a silicon-containing film for a multilayer resist process is applied to the surface of a silicon wafer using a spin coater under the conditions of a rotational speed of 2000 rpm and 20 seconds, and then a hot plate at 250 ° C. A silicon-containing film was formed by drying for 60 seconds.
Next, the silicon-containing film was immersed in a 2.38% tetramethylammonium hydroxide aqueous solution for 30 seconds.
And the film thickness of the silicon-containing film before being immersed in a developing solution was compared with the film thickness of the silicon-containing film after being immersed, and the difference was calculated. When the difference between the two was 1 nm or less, it was a good silicon-containing film, and the evaluation was “◯”. On the other hand, the case where this difference exceeded 1 nm was designated as “x”.

(6) Mask properties (oxygen ashing resistance)
A silicon-containing film forming composition for a multilayer resist process is applied to the surface of a silicon wafer using a spin coater under the conditions of a rotational speed of 2000 rpm and 20 seconds, and then dried on a hot plate at 250 ° C. for 60 seconds. Thus, a silicon-containing film was formed.
The silicon-containing film is subjected to an oxygen ashing process at 300 W for 15 seconds using an etching apparatus “EXAM” (manufactured by Shinko Seiki Co., Ltd.). The film thickness of the silicon-containing film before the treatment and the film thickness of the silicon-containing film after the treatment The difference was calculated. When the difference between the two was 5 nm or less, it was a good silicon-containing film, and the evaluation was “◯”. On the other hand, the case where this difference exceeded 5 nm was defined as “x”.

  As is apparent from Table 3, it was found that the silicon-containing film forming compositions for the multilayer resist processes of Examples 1 to 5 were excellent in storage stability. In addition, these compositions are excellent in adhesion to a resist film, reproducibility of a resist pattern, resistance to a developing solution, and masking property (etching resistance) against oxygen ashing during resist removal, and have a high Si content. It has been found that a silicon-containing film with a small amount of material penetration can be formed, and a resist pattern with no tailing can be stably formed.
