【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、解像度、感度、残さ除去性に優れるポジ型感光性樹脂組成物、及びそのポジ型レジスト組成物を用いた耐熱性パターン形成方法に関する
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、半導体素子の表面保護膜、層間絶縁膜には、優れた耐熱性と電気特性、機械特性などを併せ持つポリイミド樹脂が用いられている。このポリイミド樹脂は、一般に感光性ポリイミド前駆体組成物の形で供され、これを塗布、活性光線によるパターニング、現像、熱イミド化処理等を施すことによって容易に形成させることが出来、従来の非感光性ポリイミドに比べて大幅な工程短縮が可能となるという特徴を有している。
【0003】
ところが、その現像工程においては、現像液としてN-メチル-2-ピロリドンなどの大量の有機溶剤を用いる必要があり、近年の環境問題の高まりなどから、脱有機溶剤対策が求められてきている。これを受け、最近になって、フォトレジストと同様に、希薄アルカリ水溶液で現像可能な耐熱性感光性樹脂材料の提案が各種なされている。
【0004】
中でも、水性アルカリ可溶性のヒドロキシポリアミド、例えば、ポリベンズオキサゾール(PBO)前駆体を、ジアゾキノン化合物などの光活性成分と混合して用いる方法が、近年注目されている。(特公昭63−96162号公報など)このポジ型の感光性樹脂の現像メカニズムは、未露光部のジアゾキノン化合物がアルカリ性水溶液に不溶であり、露光することによりジアゾキノン化合物が化学変化を起こし、アルカリ性水溶液に可溶となる。この露光部と未露光部での溶解速度の差を利用し、未露光部のみの塗膜パターンの作成が可能となる。
【0005】
これらは露光およびアルカリ水溶液による現像で、ポジ型パターンの形成が容易であり、現像性、保存安定性も良好で、ポリイミドと同等の熱硬化膜特性を有しているため、有機溶剤現像型ポリイミド前駆体の有望な代替材料として注目されている。しかしながら、これまで開示されている方法によって得られるPBO前駆体には、未だ問題点も多い。
【0006】
例えば、これら感光性樹脂を実際に使用する場合、特に問題となるのは現像時における未露光部の膜減り量である。未露光部の膜減り量が大きいと、現像パターンの形状が著しく悪くなり、十分な性能が得られない。未露光部の膜減り量を小さくするため、ベース樹脂のPBO前駆体の分子量を大きくすると、未露光部の膜減り量を小さくすることが出来る。しかし、この場合、本来完全に除去できるはずの露光部に現像残り(スカム)が発生し、解像度が悪くなるという欠点があった。また、露光部の現像時間が長くなってしまう問題もあった。
【0007】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、上記の問題が改良された、感度、解像度に優れたポジ型感光性樹脂を提供することを目的とする。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】

本発明で用いる感光性ジアゾキノン化合物は、1,2−ベンゾキノンジアジドあるいは1,2−ナフトキノンジアジド構造を有する化合物であり、米国特許明細書2,772,972号、第2,797,213号、第3,669,658号により公知の物質である。

本発明において、感光性ジアジドキノン化合物(B)のポリアミド(A)への配合量は、ポリアミド100重量部に対し、1〜100重量部で、この配合量が1重量部未満だと樹脂のパターニング性が不良であり、逆にこの配合量が100重量部を越えるとフイルムの引張り伸び率が著しく低下し、露光部の現像溶け残り(スカム)が著しく激しくなる。
【0022】
本発明のポジ型感光性樹脂組成物においては、更に下記一般式(II)で表わされるフェノール化合物を含有させることが重要である。
【0023】

上記一般式(II)で表わされるフェノール化合物を本発明で用いられるポリベンゾオキサゾール前駆体と感光性ジアゾキノン化合物からなるポジ型感光性樹脂に加えると、露光部における溶解速度が増し、感度が向上する。また、ベース樹脂であるPBO前駆体の分子量を小さくして感度を上げた場合に見られるような未露光部の膜減り量も非常に小さい(未露光部の溶解速度を大きく増加させない)。また、PBO前駆体の分子量を大きくして、未露光部の膜減り量を小さくした場合に発生した露光部の溶け残り(スカム)が一般式(II)で表わされるフェノール化合物を加えた場合、全く観測されなくなり、解像度が大幅に改善される。本発明で用いられるフェノール化合物としては、例えば、下記のものが挙げられる。

本発明におけるフェノール化合物の添加量としてはポリアミド100重量に対して1〜30重量部が好ましい。この添加量が1重量部未満だと高感度化、高解像度化の効果が得られず、又、添加量が30重量を超えると現像時の膜減りが大きくなり実用性に欠ける。
この他、ポジ型レジスト組成物には、必要に応じてレベリング剤、シランカップリング剤等の添加剤を添加することができる。ポジ型レジスト組成物は、上記感光剤や添加剤と共に溶剤に溶解し、ワニス状にして使用する。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a positive photosensitive resin composition excellent in resolution, sensitivity, and residue removability, and a heat resistant pattern forming method using the positive resist composition.
[Prior art]
Conventionally, a polyimide resin having excellent heat resistance, electrical characteristics, mechanical characteristics, and the like has been used for a surface protective film and an interlayer insulating film of a semiconductor element. This polyimide resin is generally provided in the form of a photosensitive polyimide precursor composition, which can be easily formed by coating, patterning with active light, development, thermal imidization treatment, etc. Compared to photosensitive polyimide, the process can be greatly shortened.
[0003]
However, in the development process, it is necessary to use a large amount of organic solvent such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone as a developing solution, and countermeasures for removing organic solvents have been demanded due to the recent increase in environmental problems. In response to this, recently, various proposals have been made on heat-resistant photosensitive resin materials that can be developed with a dilute alkaline aqueous solution as in the case of photoresists.
[0004]
Among them, a method in which an aqueous alkali-soluble hydroxypolyamide, for example, a polybenzoxazole (PBO) precursor is mixed with a photoactive component such as a diazoquinone compound has recently attracted attention. (For example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 63-96162) The development mechanism of this positive type photosensitive resin is that the unexposed portion of the diazoquinone compound is insoluble in an alkaline aqueous solution, and the diazoquinone compound undergoes a chemical change upon exposure to an alkaline aqueous solution. Soluble in By utilizing the difference in dissolution rate between the exposed part and the unexposed part, it is possible to create a coating film pattern only on the unexposed part.
[0005]
These are exposed to light and developed with an aqueous alkaline solution, so that a positive pattern can be easily formed, developability and storage stability are good, and thermosetting film properties are the same as polyimide. It has attracted attention as a promising alternative material for precursors. However, the PBO precursor obtained by the methods disclosed so far still has many problems.
[0006]
For example, when these photosensitive resins are actually used, a particularly serious problem is the amount of film loss in the unexposed areas during development. When the amount of film reduction in the unexposed area is large, the shape of the development pattern is remarkably deteriorated and sufficient performance cannot be obtained. If the molecular weight of the PBO precursor of the base resin is increased in order to reduce the amount of film loss in the unexposed area, the amount of film decrease in the unexposed area can be reduced. However, in this case, there is a drawback that a development residue (scum) is generated in an exposed portion that should be completely removed, and resolution is deteriorated. There is also a problem that the developing time of the exposed portion becomes long.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to provide a positive photosensitive resin excellent in sensitivity and resolution in which the above problems are improved.
[0008]

In the present invention, the blending amount of the photosensitive diazide quinone compound (B) in the polyamide (A) is 1 to 100 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polyamide. On the other hand, if the blending amount exceeds 100 parts by weight, the tensile elongation of the film is remarkably lowered, and the undissolved developer (scum) in the exposed area becomes remarkably intense.

When the phenol compound represented by the general formula (II) is added to a positive photosensitive resin composed of a polybenzoxazole precursor and a photosensitive diazoquinone compound used in the present invention, the dissolution rate in the exposed area increases and the sensitivity is improved. . In addition, the amount of film loss in the unexposed area as seen when the molecular weight of the PBO precursor, which is the base resin, is reduced to increase the sensitivity is very small (the dissolution rate of the unexposed area is not greatly increased). In addition, when the molecular weight of the PBO precursor is increased, and the phenolic compound represented by the general formula (II) is added to the undissolved portion (scum) of the exposed portion generated when the unexposed portion film reduction amount is decreased, It is not observed at all, and the resolution is greatly improved. As a phenol compound used by this invention, the following are mentioned, for example.

The addition amount of the phenol compound in the present invention is preferably 1 to 30 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polyamide. If the added amount is less than 1 part by weight, the effects of high sensitivity and high resolution cannot be obtained. If the added amount exceeds 30 parts by weight, the film loss during development increases and the practicality is lacking.
In addition, additives such as a leveling agent and a silane coupling agent can be added to the positive resist composition as necessary. The positive resist composition is used in the form of a varnish after being dissolved in a solvent together with the above-described photosensitive agent and additives.

In the method of using the positive photosensitive resin composition of the present invention, first, the composition is applied to a semiconductor wafer. Examples of the coating method include spin coating using a spinner, spray coating using a spray coater, dipping, printing, roll coating, etc. Of these, in the case of spin coating, the film can be easily formed by changing the number of rotations of the spinner. Thickness can be controlled. Next, after prebaking at 60 to 1300C and drying the coating film, actinic rays are irradiated in a desired pattern shape. As the actinic ray, X-rays, electron beams, ultraviolet rays, visible rays and the like can be used, but those having a wavelength of 200 to 500 nm are preferable. Next, a relief pattern is obtained by dissolving and removing the irradiated portion with a developer.

As a developing method, methods such as spraying, paddle, dipping, and ultrasonic waves can be used. Next, the relief pattern formed by development is rinsed. Distilled water is used as the rinse liquid. Next, by performing heat treatment at 300 to 400 ° C., a pattern having an oxazole ring and excellent in heat resistance can be obtained.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Examples of specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on examples.

[Example 1]
<Synthesis of hydroxy polyamide>
In a separable flask having a capacity of 2 L, 370 g of N, N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc), 26.90 g (0.34 mol) of pyridine, 2,2-bis (3-amino-4-hydroxyphenyl) -hexafluoropropane 61.53 g (0.17 mol) was mixed and stirred at room temperature (25 ° C.) to dissolve the diamine. Separately, 30.45 g (0.15 mol) of isophthalic acid dichloride dissolved in 114 g of diethylene glycol dimethyl ether (DMDG) was dropped from the dropping funnel. At this time, the separable flask was cooled in a water bath at 15 to 20 ° C. The time required for the dropwise addition was 20 minutes, and the maximum reaction solution temperature was 30 ° C.
[0036]
After stirring for 60 minutes from the end of dropping, 13.13 g (0.08 mol) of norbornene anhydride and 6.33 g (0.08 mol) of pyridine were added to the reaction solution, and the mixture was allowed to stand for 8 hours at 20 to 25 ° C. 98% of the total amine end groups of the chain were sealed with norbornene groups. The reaction rate at this time can be easily calculated by tracking the remaining amount of norbornene anhydride added by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
[0037]
Thereafter, the reaction solution was dropped into 5 L of water under high-speed stirring to disperse and precipitate the polymer, and this was recovered, washed with water as appropriate, dehydrated, and then vacuum dried to obtain hydroxypolyamide (SA-1).
Further, when purification of the polymer is necessary, it can be carried out by the following method. That is, a polymer solution obtained by re-dissolving the above-obtained polymer in 300 g of γ-butyrolactone (GBL) was washed with ion-exchanged water, and 90 g and 185 g of cation exchange resin and anion exchange resin substituted with GBL were respectively obtained. The treatment was performed by flowing through a filled glass column. The purified polymer solution was dropped into 5 L of ion-exchanged water, and the polymer precipitated at that time was separated, washed, and then vacuum dried to obtain a purified polymer.
<Preparation of positive photosensitive resin composition>
100 parts by weight of synthesized polyamide (SA-1), 20 parts by weight of diazoquinone (Q1) having the structure of the following formula, 10 parts by weight of phenol compound (P-1) having the structure of the following formula, 160 parts by weight of γ-butyrolactone Then, the mixture was filtered through a 0.2 μm Teflon filter to obtain a photosensitive resin composition.

<Characteristic evaluation>
This positive photosensitive resin composition was applied on a silicon wafer using a spin coater and then dried at 120 ° C. for 3 minutes to obtain a coating film having a thickness of about 10 μm. Next, this coating film was exposed to 500 mJ / cm 2 through a test pattern reticle using an i-line stepper exposure machine (manufactured by Nikon Corporation). The exposed film was developed using NMD-3 developer (tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) 2.38% aqueous solution) manufactured by Tokyo Ohka Kogyo Co., Ltd., and the exposed area was dissolved and removed. After development, a pattern evaluation sample was prepared by rinsing with purified water for 20 seconds to stop dissolution.
[0041]
The resolution, residue, and the like of this sample were visually observed under an optical microscope, and the resolution at the development time when the best pattern (via hole, line and space, etc.) was obtained was evaluated. Moreover, the coating film thickness before and behind development of an unexposed part was measured, and the unexposed part remaining film ratio (unit%, if 100%, no change in film thickness before and after exposure) was calculated and evaluated.
