Description

本発明は、コーティング用組成物に関する。特にフォトリソグラフィにおいて反射防止膜を形成するための組成物として有用なコーティング用組成物、およびこれを用いたフォトレジスト積層体の製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a coating composition. In particular, the present invention relates to a coating composition useful as a composition for forming an antireflection film in photolithography, and a method for producing a photoresist laminate using the same.

フォトリソグラフィ技術において、フォトレジストのパターン(レジストパターン)を形成する工程における、露光光の反射を防止するために、フォトレジスト層の表面上に反射防止膜を設ける方法(TARC法)が知られている。
TARC法において良好な反射防止効果を得るための、反射防止膜の理想的な屈折率はフォトレジスト層の屈折率nの平方根(√n)であることが知られている(例えば、特許文献1の段落[0004])。
またArFエキシマレーザ(193nm)を用いたフォトリソグラフィにおいて、一般的に用いられるレジストの193nmにおける屈折率は1.6〜1.8(例えば、特許文献1の段落[0006])であり、1.6の平方根の値は約1.265、1.8の平方根の値は約1.342である。したがって反射防止膜の193nmにおける屈折率は、1.265〜1.342の範囲により近い方が望ましい。
In photolithography technology, a method of providing an antireflection film on the surface of a photoresist layer (TARC method) is known in order to prevent reflection of exposure light in a step of forming a photoresist pattern (resist pattern). Yes.
It is known that the ideal refractive index of the antireflection film for obtaining a good antireflection effect in the TARC method is the square root (√n) of the refractive index n of the photoresist layer (for example, Patent Document 1). Paragraph [0004]).
In photolithography using an ArF excimer laser (193 nm), the refractive index of a commonly used resist at 193 nm is 1.6 to 1.8 (for example, paragraph [0006] of Patent Document 1). The value of the square root of 6 is about 1.265, and the value of the square root of 1.8 is about 1.342. Therefore, the refractive index at 193 nm of the antireflection film is desirably closer to the range of 1.265 to 1.342.

特許文献2には、水、水性溶媒または現像液に溶解できる、親水性基を有する含フッ素重合体を用いて、フォトレジスト層上に反射防止膜を形成する方法が記載されている。実施例4において、側鎖の末端が水酸基である含フッ素モノマーと、テトラフルオロエチレンとの共重合体を、水とイソプロピルアルコールの混合溶媒に溶解させたコーティング組成物を成膜して得られた膜の屈折率(193nm)が1.39であったことが記載されている。
特許文献3には、主に微粒子(粒径1〜100nm)からなる層によって、低屈折率の反射防止層を実現する方法が記載されている。この方法では、反射防止層内に微粒子の形状に応じた空隙が形成されることにより屈折率が低下し、実施例8において193nmにおける屈折率が1.32であったことが記載されている。
特許文献4には、2個の重合性炭素−炭素二重結合を有する含フッ素モノマーを環化重合して得られる、主鎖に環構造を有する重合体を用いて、フォトレジスト層上に反射防止膜を形成する方法が記載されている。
Patent Document 2 describes a method of forming an antireflection film on a photoresist layer using a fluoropolymer having a hydrophilic group that can be dissolved in water, an aqueous solvent or a developer. In Example 4, a coating composition in which a copolymer of a fluorine-containing monomer having a hydroxyl group at the end of the side chain and tetrafluoroethylene was dissolved in a mixed solvent of water and isopropyl alcohol was obtained to form a film. It is described that the refractive index (193 nm) of the film was 1.39.
Patent Document 3 describes a method of realizing an antireflection layer having a low refractive index by a layer mainly composed of fine particles (particle diameter: 1 to 100 nm). In this method, it is described that the refractive index is lowered by forming voids corresponding to the shape of the fine particles in the antireflection layer, and in Example 8, the refractive index at 193 nm was 1.32.
In Patent Document 4, a polymer having a ring structure in the main chain, obtained by cyclopolymerization of a fluorine-containing monomer having two polymerizable carbon-carbon double bonds, is reflected on the photoresist layer. A method of forming a protective film is described.

特許第4910829号公報Japanese Patent No. 4910829 特許第4752597号公報Japanese Patent No. 4752597 国際公開第2008/059918号International Publication No. 2008/059918 特開平5−74700号公報JP-A-5-74700

上述したように、反射防止膜の屈折率は、193nmにおいて1.265〜1.342の範囲により近い方が好ましく、特許文献2に記載のコーティング組成物では不充分である。
特許文献3の反射防止膜は微粒子を含むため露光光が散乱するおそれがある。
特許文献4に記載されている反射防止膜について、本発明者等が193nmにおける屈折率を測定したところ(後述の例6)、1.38であり不充分であった。
As described above, the refractive index of the antireflection film is preferably closer to the range of 1.265 to 1.342 at 193 nm, and the coating composition described in Patent Document 2 is insufficient.
Since the antireflection film of Patent Document 3 contains fine particles, exposure light may be scattered.
When the present inventors measured the refractive index in 193 nm about the antireflection film described in patent document 4 (example 6 mentioned later), it was 1.38 and was inadequate.

本発明は、微粒子を使用しなくても、低屈折率の反射防止膜を形成できるコーティング用組成物、およびこれを用いたフォトレジスト積層体の製造方法を提供する。   The present invention provides a coating composition capable of forming an antireflection film having a low refractive index without using fine particles, and a method for producing a photoresist laminate using the same.

(含フッ素化合物(A1))
含フッ素化合物(A1)は重合体中に存在する単位が、下記単位(I)から選ばれる1種のみであるホモポリマーである。
単位(I):重合性炭素−炭素二重結合を1個のみ有する単量体に基づく単位であって、炭素原子、酸素原子、およびフッ素原子のみで構成され、1以上の側鎖を有し、少なくとも1つの側鎖は、環を構成しないエーテル性酸素原子を1以上含み、かつ末端が−CFである、単位。

(Fluorine-containing compound (A1))
The fluorine-containing compound (A1) is a homopolymer in which the unit present in the polymer is only one selected from the following units (I).
Unit (I): a unit based on a monomer having only one polymerizable carbon-carbon double bond, which is composed of only carbon atoms, oxygen atoms, and fluorine atoms, and has one or more side chains The unit in which at least one side chain contains one or more etheric oxygen atoms that do not constitute a ring, and the terminal is —CF 3 .
A carbon chain (-C-C-) generated by cleavage of one double bond is the main chain of the fluorine-containing compound (A1).
A side chain is a molecular chain that is bonded to a carbon atom of the main chain. The branched side chain is composed of a trunk molecular chain and a branch molecular chain branched from the trunk molecular chain. The trunk molecular chain is determined so that the total number of carbon atoms and oxygen atoms constituting the trunk molecular chain is the largest, and the end of the trunk molecular chain is defined as the end of the side chain.

単位(I)を構成する原子は炭素原子、酸素原子およびフッ素原子のみである。水素原子等の他の原子を含まないことでフッ素原子含有量が高くなり、屈折率の低下に寄与する。
単位(I)は、1個以上の側鎖を有する。側鎖の数は1〜4個であり、1〜3個が好ましく、1〜2個が特に好ましい。側鎖が2個以上の場合、複数の側鎖の構造は互いに同じであってもよく異なってもよい。
単位(I)の側鎖の少なくとも1個は、環を構成しないエーテル性酸素原子を1以上含み、かつ末端が−CFである。
環を構成しないエーテル性酸素原子は、分子の運動性を上げ、含フッ素化合物(A1)の結晶性の低下に寄与する。その結果含フッ素化合物(A1)の屈折率の低下に寄与すると考えられる。
なお、環構造中に存在するエーテル性酸素原子は屈折率を低下させる効果が小さい。環構造には分子末端が存在しないため、エーテル性酸素原子が存在しても分子の運動性への寄与が小さいためと考えられる。
1個の側鎖中に存在する、環を構成しないエーテル性酸素原子の数の上限は特に限定されないが、製造容易性の点からは4以下が好ましく、3以下がより好ましく、2以下が特に好ましい。
単位(I)の分子量は60以上が好ましい。単位の分子量が上記範囲の下限値以上であると、フッ素原子含有量が増加して、低屈折率になりやすい。単位(I)の分子量の上限は製造容易性と未反応の単量体の回収性容易性の点からは800以下が好ましく、500以下が特に好ましい。
The atoms constituting the unit (I) are only carbon atoms, oxygen atoms and fluorine atoms. By not containing other atoms such as hydrogen atoms, the fluorine atom content is increased, which contributes to a decrease in refractive index.
Unit (I) has one or more side chains. The number of side chains is 1 to 4, preferably 1 to 3, and particularly preferably 1 to 2. When two or more side chains are present, the structures of the plurality of side chains may be the same or different.
At least one of the side chains of the unit (I) contains one or more etheric oxygen atoms that do not form a ring, and the terminal is —CF 3 .
The etheric oxygen atom that does not constitute a ring increases the mobility of the molecule and contributes to a decrease in crystallinity of the fluorine-containing compound (A1). As a result, it is thought that it contributes to the fall of the refractive index of a fluorine-containing compound (A1).
Note that etheric oxygen atoms present in the ring structure have a small effect of lowering the refractive index. This is probably because there is no molecular end in the ring structure, so even if an etheric oxygen atom is present, the contribution to the mobility of the molecule is small.
The upper limit of the number of etheric oxygen atoms that do not constitute a ring present in one side chain is not particularly limited, but is preferably 4 or less, more preferably 3 or less, and particularly preferably 2 or less, from the viewpoint of ease of production. preferable.
The molecular weight of the unit (I) is preferably 60 or more. When the molecular weight of the unit is not less than the lower limit of the above range, the fluorine atom content increases and the refractive index tends to be low. The upper limit of the molecular weight of the unit (I) is preferably 800 or less, particularly preferably 500 or less, from the viewpoint of ease of production and easy recovery of unreacted monomers.

単位(I)としては、下式(i)で表される単位(i)が好ましい。
−[CX−CX]− …(i)
(式中、X、X、X、Xのうちの1〜4個は、それぞれ独立に、環を構成しないエーテル性酸素原子を1〜4個含む炭素数1〜12のペルフルオロ飽和炭化水素基(以下、「側鎖1」ともいう。)(ただし、前記エーテル性酸素原子の数は炭素数以下である。)であってかつ末端が−CFである基を示し、残りは、環を構成しないエーテル性酸素原子を含まない炭素数1〜12のペルフルオロ飽和炭化水素基(以下、「側鎖2」ともいう。)、またはフッ素原子を示す。)
The unit (I) is preferably a unit (i) represented by the following formula (i).
- [CX 1 X 2 -CX 3 X 4] - ... (i)
(Wherein 1 to 4 of X 1 , X 2 , X 3 and X 4 are each independently C 1-12 perfluorosaturated containing 1 to 4 etheric oxygen atoms which do not constitute a ring. A group having a hydrocarbon group (hereinafter also referred to as “side chain 1”) (wherein the number of etheric oxygen atoms is not more than the number of carbon atoms) and terminal is —CF 3 ; And a perfluoro saturated hydrocarbon group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms which does not contain an etheric oxygen atom which does not constitute a ring (hereinafter also referred to as “side chain 2”) or a fluorine atom.)

側鎖1としては、−O−Rf基(Rf基は炭素−炭素原子間にエーテル性酸素原子を1〜3個含む炭素数2〜12のペルフルオロ飽和炭化水素基である。)が好ましい。Rf基は、炭素数が3以上の場合、直鎖状でもよく、分岐状でもよく、屈折率がより低くなりやすい点からは分岐状が好ましい。分岐構造があると、含フッ素化合物(A1)が嵩高くなり、密度が減少するため、屈折率が低くなると考えられる。Rf基は、環を含んでもよい。環を含む場合、該環はエーテル性酸素原子を有してもよく、有さなくてもよい。
Rf基の炭素数は3〜12が好ましく、6〜9が特に好ましい。上限値以下であると沸点が高くなりすぎず、未反応の単量体の回収が容易となる。Rf基中に存在する、環を構成しないエーテル性酸素原子の数の上限は、該Rf基の炭素数以下である。製造容易性の点からは4以下が好ましく、3以下がより好ましく、2以下が特に好ましい。
側鎖1の具体例として以下が挙げられる。
−OCF、−OCFCFCF、−OCFCFCFCF、−OCFCFOCF、−OCFCFCFOCF、−OCFCFCF、−OCFCF(CF)OCFCFCF、−OCFCF(CF)OCFCF(CF)OCFCFCF
製造容易性の点で、−OCFCF(CF)OCFCFCFが好ましい。
The side chain 1 is preferably a —O—Rf 1 group (the Rf 1 group is a C 2-12 perfluoro saturated hydrocarbon group containing 1 to 3 etheric oxygen atoms between carbon-carbon atoms). .

表1の結果に示されるように、本発明にかかる含フッ素化合物(A1)または(A2)を用いた例1〜5および9のコーティング用組成物によれば、屈折率が1.36以下の膜を得ることができた。
単量体(a)と単量体(e)とは、単量体(a)がC、O、Fのみからなるのに対して、単量体(e)は炭素原子に水素原子が結合している点で異なる。単量体(a)のホモポリマーである含フッ素化合物(A1−1)を用いた例1と、単量体(e)のホモポリマーである含フッ素化合物(E)を用いた例7とを比較すると、例7の方が膜の屈折率がやや高い。このことから、含フッ素重合体の単位中に水素原子が存在すると膜の屈折率が上昇することがわかる。
As shown in the results of Table 1, according to the coating compositions of Examples 1 to 5 and 9 using the fluorine-containing compound (A1) or (A2) according to the present invention, the refractive index is 1.36 or less. A membrane could be obtained.
Monomer (a) and monomer (e) are composed of only C, O, and F, whereas monomer (e) has a hydrogen atom bonded to a carbon atom. It differs in that it is. Example 1 using a fluorine-containing compound (A1-1) that is a homopolymer of monomer (a) and Example 7 using a fluorine-containing compound (E) that is a homopolymer of monomer (e) In comparison, Example 7 has a slightly higher refractive index of the film. This shows that the refractive index of the film increases when hydrogen atoms are present in the units of the fluoropolymer.

単量体(c)と単量体(f)とは側鎖の末端基が異なる。単量体(c)の側鎖の末端基は−CFであり、含フッ素化合物(F−1)において単量体(f)に基づく単位の側鎖の末端基はカルボキシ基含有基である。
単量体(c)のホモポリマーである含フッ素重合体(A1−3)を用いた例3と、含フッ素化合物(F−1)を用いた例8とを比較すると、例8の方が膜の屈折率が格段に高い。この要因として、含フッ素化合物(F−1)中に存在するカルボキシ基が、193nmの光を吸収する性質を有することが考えられる。
The monomer (c) and the monomer (f) differ in the side chain end groups. The terminal group of the side chain of the monomer (c) is —CF 3 , and the terminal group of the side chain of the unit based on the monomer (f) in the fluorine-containing compound (F-1) is a carboxy group-containing group. .
When Example 3 using the fluorinated polymer (A1-3) which is a homopolymer of the monomer (c) is compared with Example 8 using the fluorinated compound (F-1), Example 8 is better. The refractive index of the film is much higher. As this factor, it is considered that the carboxy group present in the fluorine-containing compound (F-1) has a property of absorbing light at 193 nm.

単量体(a)は重合性炭素−炭素二重結合を1個のみ有するのに対して、単量体(d)は両末端に重合性炭素−炭素二重結合を有しており、含フッ素重合体(D)は上記式(d−1)で表される単位(d−1)を有する。単量体(a)に基づく単位は環を構成しないエーテル性酸素原子を有するが、単位(d−1)はエーテル性酸素原子が環構造内にのみ存在する。
単量体(a)のホモポリマーである含フッ素化合物(A1−1)を用いた例1と、含フッ素化合物(D)を用いた例6とを比較すると、例6の方が膜の屈折率がやや高い。このことからエーテル性酸素原子を有していても、それが環構造内に存在すると屈折率低減効果が小さいことがわかる。
The monomer (a) has only one polymerizable carbon-carbon double bond, whereas the monomer (d) has a polymerizable carbon-carbon double bond at both ends, and The fluoropolymer (D) has a unit (d-1) represented by the above formula (d-1). The unit based on the monomer (a) has an etheric oxygen atom that does not constitute a ring, but the unit (d-1) has an etheric oxygen atom only in the ring structure.
When Example 1 using the fluorine-containing compound (A1-1), which is a homopolymer of the monomer (a), is compared with Example 6 using the fluorine-containing compound (D), the film of Example 6 is more refracted. The rate is slightly high. This shows that even if it has an etheric oxygen atom, if it exists in the ring structure, the refractive index reducing effect is small.

以上のことから、含フッ素化合物(A1)において、重合体中の単位が、C、O、Fのみから構成されており、環を構成しないエーテル性酸素原子を有するとともに末端が−CFである側鎖を有することが、低屈折率を実現するために重要であることがわかる。また含フッ素重合体中に水酸基やカルボキシ基等の、193nm付近の光を吸収する高極性官能基が存在しないことが、低屈折率化において好ましいことがわかる。 From the above, in the fluorine-containing compound (A1), the unit in the polymer is composed only of C, O, and F, has an etheric oxygen atom that does not constitute a ring, and the terminal is —CF 3 . It can be seen that having side chains is important for achieving a low refractive index. It can also be seen that it is preferable in reducing the refractive index that the fluorine-containing polymer does not have a highly polar functional group such as a hydroxyl group or a carboxy group that absorbs light near 193 nm.

例4、5の含フッ素化合物(A2−1)、(A2−2)はいずれもペルフルオロポリエーテル骨格を主鎖に有する化合物である。
主鎖末端が水酸基である含フッ素化合物(A2−1)を用いた例4、および主鎖末端がペルフルオロアルキル基である含フッ素化合物(A2−2)を用いた例5のいずれにおいても、屈折率が1.34と充分に低い膜が得られた。
これらの結果から、ペルフルオロポリエーテル骨格を主鎖に有する含フッ素化合物は屈折率が低く、主鎖末端基の膜の屈折率への影響は小さいことがわかる。
The fluorine-containing compounds (A2-1) and (A2-2) of Examples 4 and 5 are both compounds having a perfluoropolyether skeleton in the main chain.
In both Example 4 using the fluorine-containing compound (A2-1) whose main chain terminal is a hydroxyl group and Example 5 using the fluorine-containing compound (A2-2) whose main chain terminal is a perfluoroalkyl group, refraction A film having a sufficiently low rate of 1.34 was obtained.
From these results, it is understood that the fluorine-containing compound having a perfluoropolyether skeleton in the main chain has a low refractive index, and the influence of the main chain end group on the refractive index of the film is small.

表1の膜厚の結果に注目すると、含フッ素溶媒である溶媒(1)を用いた例1〜7および9は、水とIPAの混合物である溶媒(3)を用いた例8に比べて、コーティング用組成物中の重合体濃度が同じであるにもかかわらず、膜厚が大きくなった。
これは、溶媒(1)の沸点が水またはIPAのいずれよりも高く、かつ溶媒(1)の表面張力が水またはIPAのいずれよりも低いためと考えられる。つまり、スピンコート液の溶媒として溶媒(1)を使用した場合は、シリコンウェハ上にスピンコート液が広がりやすく、かつシリコンウェハ上に広がったスピンコート液が蒸発しにくいため、スピンコート液がシリコンウェハを覆った状態で存在する時間が長くなり、その結果、膜厚が増大すると考えられる。
When paying attention to the film thickness results in Table 1, Examples 1 to 7 and 9 using the solvent (1) which is a fluorine-containing solvent are compared with Example 8 using a solvent (3) which is a mixture of water and IPA. The film thickness increased despite the polymer concentration in the coating composition being the same.
This is presumably because the boiling point of the solvent (1) is higher than either water or IPA, and the surface tension of the solvent (1) is lower than either water or IPA. In other words, when the solvent (1) is used as the solvent for the spin coating solution, the spin coating solution tends to spread on the silicon wafer and the spin coating solution spread on the silicon wafer is difficult to evaporate. It is considered that the time that the wafer is covered becomes longer, and as a result, the film thickness increases.

表1の貯蔵安定性の結果に注目すると、含フッ素溶媒である溶媒(1)を用いた例1〜7および9では良好な貯蔵安定性が得られた。
一方、水とIPAの混合物である溶媒(3)を用いた例8は、貯蔵安定性は劣っていた。例8で用いた含フッ素化合物(F−1)は、親水性官能基であるカルボキシ基を有するが、水系の溶媒(3)への溶解性が充分でないことがわかる。
When attention is paid to the results of storage stability in Table 1, good storage stability was obtained in Examples 1 to 7 and 9 using the solvent (1) which is a fluorine-containing solvent.
On the other hand, Example 8 using the solvent (3) which is a mixture of water and IPA was inferior in storage stability. Although the fluorine-containing compound (F-1) used in Example 8 has a carboxy group which is a hydrophilic functional group, it is understood that the solubility in an aqueous solvent (3) is not sufficient.

表1のレジスト溶解性の結果に注目すると、例1〜7および9の含フッ素化合物溶液(コーティング用組成物)をレジスト膜に接触させてもレジスト膜表面に変化は見られなかった。
一方、水とIPAの混合物である溶媒(3)を用いた例8の含フッ素化合物溶液(コーティング用組成物)を、同様にレジスト膜に接触させたところ、レジスト膜表面に荒れ(ムラ等)が生じた。
Paying attention to the results of resist solubility in Table 1, no changes were observed on the resist film surface even when the fluorine-containing compound solutions (coating compositions) of Examples 1 to 7 and 9 were brought into contact with the resist film.
On the other hand, when the fluorine-containing compound solution (coating composition) of Example 8 using the solvent (3) which is a mixture of water and IPA was similarly brought into contact with the resist film, the resist film surface was roughened (unevenness, etc.). Occurred.
