Description

The present invention relates to a hydrogenated ring-opening metathesis polymer having a specific molecular weight distribution. Related to hydrogenated ring-opening metathesis polymers that have the properties of being easy to use as a resist film while having physical properties such as heat resistance, thermal decomposition resistance, and light transmission properties that are superior to known polymers And a method for producing such a polymer hydrogenated product.

In recent years, integration of semiconductor integrated circuits has progressed, and large-scale integrated circuits (LSIs) and very large-scale integrated circuits (VLSIs) have been put into practical use. There is a tendency to further miniaturize in the future. To form a fine pattern, the substrate to be processed on which a thin film is formed is coated with a resist, and after selective exposure is performed to form a latent image of a desired pattern, development is performed to form a resist pattern, which is then used as a mask for dry etching After that, it is essential to use a lithography technique that obtains a desired pattern by removing the resist.

  As exposure light sources used in this lithography technique, ultraviolet light of g-line (wavelength 436 nm) and i-line (wavelength 365 nm) is used. Light, electron beams (EB), X-rays and the like have been used as light sources. Recently, excimer lasers (KrF laser with a wavelength of 248 nm, ArF laser with a wavelength of 193 nm) have attracted attention as an exposure light source, and are expected to be effective for forming fine patterns.

  As a polymer or copolymer used in a resist material that forms a submicron pattern using exposure light in the vacuum ultraviolet region, a cyclic skeleton having an aliphatic cyclic hydrocarbon as a main chain and a functional group that is decomposed by an acid is used. Cyclic polymers such as those found in photoresist compositions (see Patent Documents 1, 2, 3, and 4) comprising a polymer compound having excellent dry etching resistance and excellent transparency to deep ultraviolet light, There existed problems, such as the solubility with respect to the resist solvent in high concentration, the wettability with respect to a developing solution, and the adhesiveness to a silicon substrate.

In order to solve such problems, the present inventors previously proposed a polymer having a narrow molecular weight distribution obtained by subjecting a specific cyclic olefin to living metathesis polymerization and then hydrogenation (see Patent Document 5).
WO 97/33198 JP 09-230595 A JP 09-244247 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-254139 WO 01/79324 publication

The polymers disclosed in the above publications are excellent in light transmittance, high sensitivity and high resolution for semiconductor microfabrication using ultraviolet rays or far ultraviolet rays (including excimer laser) as a base polymer for resist materials. In addition, it has a high affinity for an alkali developer and is useful to satisfy all the performances required for use as a base polymer for a positive photoresist composition resist material that can provide a good pattern. There are problems such as a narrow range of practical use conditions, and further improvements are desired.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have made various studies and found that the hydrogenated ring-opening metathesis polymer of a specific cyclic olefin-based monomer has excellent characteristics, thereby completing the present invention. It came.

Adhesion to a substrate to be processed such as a silicon substrate, improvement of wetting tension at the time of development with an alkaline aqueous solution, dissolution in polar organic solvents such as ketones and alcohols used in the process of applying a resist agent to a silicon wafer In addition, the affinity for water is improved, and the developability for a release agent (or developer) such as an alkaline aqueous solution after exposure is also improved. Preferably, X ¹ of the structural unit [A] represented by the general formula [1], X ² of the structural unit [B] represented by the general formula [3], and a structure represented by the general formula [4] at least one of X ³ of the unit [C] is -O-, and others -CH ₂ - is a hydrogenated ring-opening metathesis polymer is. The molar amount of —O— units with respect to the total total unit molar amount of X ¹ , X ² and X ³ is 0.01 to 0.99, preferably 0.02 to 0.95, more preferably 0. 0.05 to 0.80, and most preferably 0.10 to 0.70.

  In the present invention, the structural unit [A] represented by the general formula [1], the structural unit [B] represented by the general formula [3] and / or the structural unit [C] represented by the general formula [4]. The molar ratio [A] / ([B] and [C]) is 0/100 to 99/1, preferably 20/80 to 99/1. It is essential that at least a certain amount of the structural unit [B] and / or [C] is present. Here, the structural unit [A] includes a cyclic alkyl tertiary ester group represented by the general formula [2], that is, a group that decomposes with an acid generated from a photosensitizer during exposure to generate a carboxylic acid. After exposure, it is necessary for developing with an alkaline aqueous solution to form a resist pattern. Further, the structural units [B] and / or [C] are necessary for developing adhesion to a substrate to be processed such as a silicon substrate. When the molar ratio [A] / ([B] and [C]) is less than 20/80, development may be insufficient. Moreover, when it exceeds 99/1, adhesiveness with a to-be-processed substrate will not express. More preferably, the molar ratio [A] / ([B] and [C]) is 20/80 to 95/5, particularly preferably 25/75 to 90/10, and most preferably 30/70 to 85. / 15. The fact that these structural units are within this range is suitable for preparing a resist composition, and is dissolved in a polar solvent such as 2-heptanone together with a highly polar photosensitizer so as to be processed like a silicon substrate. This is extremely important as a resist material applied to the substrate. That is, the ring-opening metathesis polymer hydrogenated product can form a uniform smooth coating film by increasing the solubility or dissolution rate in a polar solvent when preparing a resist composition.

  In the hydrogenated ring-opening metathesis polymer of the present invention, at least one of the structural unit [B] or [C] is essential, and the structural unit is composed of the structural units [B] and [C] in addition to the structural unit [A]. The terpolymer may be a terpolymer that is composed of only one of the structural units [B] or [C].

  The present invention relates to a hydrogenated ring-opening metathesis polymer having a ratio (Mw / Mn) of weight average molecular weight Mw to number average molecular weight Mn of more than 2.0 and less than 5.0, and a resist film on a silicon wafer substrate. The coating solution having a uniform film thickness can be formed without changing the film formation conditions by reducing the dependency of the resist coating film on the thickness unevenness when the film is applied by spin coating. In addition, this makes it possible to widen the range of operating conditions such as solution concentration and spin coating conditions for forming a uniform and smooth coating film. On the other hand, when the molecular weight distribution is 2.0 or less, when the coating film becomes thick at a high solution concentration, uneven thickness is likely to be formed, resulting in non-uniform film, and uneven resist resolution between thick and thin films. May occur. Furthermore, if the molecular weight distribution exceeds 5.0, a difference occurs in the dissolution rate in the developer during alkali development, so that uneven development occurs and resolution performance may be degraded. By making the molecular weight distribution within the range of the present invention, it becomes possible to form a uniform and smooth resist coating film regardless of the solution concentration, and good coating under wide film forming operating conditions while maintaining resolution performance. A film can be formed.

    As for the molecular weight of the ring-opening metathesis polymer hydrogenated product of the present invention, the weight average molecular weight Mw is usually 500 to 1,000,000. Preferably, it is 1,000-100,000, Especially preferably, it is 3,000-50,000. In addition, the number average molecular weight and weight average molecular weight described in this specification were measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) in terms of polystyrene.

  These ring-opening metathesis polymer hydrogenated products may be composed of one type of structural unit for each of the structural units [A], [B] and / or [C]. Alternatively, all may be composed of two or more structural units. For example, the structural unit [A] is represented by the following general formulas [A-1] and [A-2].

The organometallic compound as a co-catalyst is in a range of 0.1 to 100, preferably 1 to 50 in molar ratio to the organic transition metal halogen complex.

  In the present invention, when polymerizing using a ring-opening metathesis catalyst, it is preferable to polymerize in the presence of a chain transfer agent such as olefin or diene in order to increase the catalyst efficiency. These chain transfer agents are used for controlling the molecular weight in order to obtain a polymer having a desired molecular weight. Examples of the olefin used as the chain transfer agent include α-olefins such as ethylene, propylene, butene, pentene, hexene, octene, and vinyltrimethylsilane, allyltrimethylsilane, allyltriethylsilane, allyltriisopropylsilane.

The olefin or diene is in the range of 0.1 to 1000 equivalents, preferably 1 to 500 equivalents, relative to 1 equivalent of the alkylidene of the transition metal alkylidene complex. By arbitrarily setting these ratios, the desired molecular weight can be set.
In order to produce the hydrogenated ring-opening metathesis polymer in the range of the molecular weight distribution in which the ratio (Mw / Mn) of the weight average molecular weight Mw to the number average molecular weight Mn in the present invention is greater than 2.0 and less than 5.0 The molecular weight distribution needs to be widened at the polymerization stage, and in particular, it cannot be produced by a usual method using a complex catalyst of a living polymerization catalyst system. In addition, even if batch polymerization is carried out in the presence of the above chain transfer agent in one kind of living polymerization catalyst, it is a polymer having a molecular weight distribution within the probability distribution range of the chain transfer reaction, and only a polymer having a relatively narrow distribution. Was only obtained.

In the present invention, (1) a cyclic olefin monomer is polymerized in at least two stages, a polymer component having a high molecular weight and a polymer component having a low molecular weight are polymerized with a ring-opening metathesis polymerization catalyst, and then a hydrogenation catalyst is used. Hydrogenation of a ring-opening metathesis polymer with a broad molecular weight distribution is produced by hydrogenation. Or (2) polymerizing a polymer component having a high molecular weight and a polymer component having a low molecular weight in the presence of at least two kinds of polymerization catalysts in the presence of a cyclic olefin monomer, and then hydrogenating under a hydrogenation catalyst Thus, a hydrogenated ring-opening metathesis polymer having a wide molecular weight distribution can be produced.
In the present invention, the ratio of the weight average molecular weight (HMw) of the polymer component having a high molecular weight to the weight average molecular weight (LMw) of the polymer component having a low molecular weight is HMw / LMw ≧ 2. The ratio of the polymer component having a high molecular weight and a low molecular weight to the weight average molecular weight is at least 10 to 90% by mass, preferably 20 to 80% by mass.

The method of polymerizing the cyclic olefin monomer (1) in at least two stages is a method in which the chain transfer agent is divided into at least two stages and sequentially introduced into the polymerization reaction system, and the living polymerization catalyst is at least 2 stages. A method of charging the polymerization reaction system in stages or more, a method of charging the cyclic olefin monomer in at least two stages, a method of changing the polymerization temperature in at least two stages, or these This is done by combining the methods. The molecular weight produced by these methods depends on the reactivity of the living polymerization catalyst, the cyclic olefin monomer, and the chain transfer agent, and the quantitative ratio of the cyclic olefin monomer to the polymerization catalyst or the chain transfer. The molecular weight of the polymer is determined by the ratio between the amount of the agent and the amount of the cyclic olefin monomer and the chain transfer agent. The size of the weight average molecular weight of the polymer obtained by polymerization and the ratio of each polymer can be determined. When the cyclic olefin monomer is polymerized in two or more stages, the polymerization ratio in each stage is 10 to 90% by mass, preferably 20 to 80% by mass in at least one stage.

The method of polymerizing the cyclic olefin monomer (2) in the presence of at least two kinds of polymerization catalysts is a molecular weight generated by polymerization reactivity of the polymerization catalyst with respect to the cyclic olefin monomer or chain transferability with respect to the chain transfer agent. This is a method in which a catalyst for obtaining a polymer component having a high molecular weight is combined with a catalyst for obtaining a polymer having a low molecular weight. The combination of these polymerization catalysts includes a weight average molecular weight (HMw) of a polymer component obtained by a catalyst capable of polymerizing a high molecular weight polymer and a weight average molecular weight of a polymer component obtained from a catalyst capable of polymerizing a low molecular weight polymer ( The ratio of (LMw) is selected from the polymerization catalysts in which HMw / LMw ≧ 2. These polymerization reactivity and chain transfer properties, that is, controllability of the polymerization reaction rate and molecular weight depend on the insertion property of the cyclic olefin monomer into the polymerization catalyst and the stability after the insertion. Therefore, it depends on the kind of transition metal of the polymerization catalyst and the kind of various ligands giving or pulling electrons to metal atoms. For example, it is recognized that even when the catalysts have the same ligand species, the polymerization reactivity and the chain transfer properties differ as a result of the difference in the electron density of the outermost contour of the catalyst itself when the types of metals are different. By utilizing these properties, a combination of at least two types of catalysts in the living polymerization catalyst can be selected, so that a polymer having a high molecular weight and a polymer having a low molecular weight can be produced under the same polymerization conditions. For each polymerization catalyst selected, the molecular weight of the polymer is determined by the amount ratio of the cyclic olefin monomer or the chain transfer agent, and the amount ratio of the cyclic olefin monomer and the chain transfer agent. The ratio of the polymer component can be arbitrarily generated by changing the amount of each polymerization catalyst. The polymerization ratio in each catalyst selected is appropriately determined so that at least one of them is 10 to 90% by mass, preferably 20 to 80% by mass.

It is a temperature of ° C. The reaction time is usually 1 minute to 10 hours, preferably 5 minutes to 8 hours, and more preferably 10 minutes to 6 hours.

Preferably, it is 1,000-100,000, Especially preferably, it is 3,000-50,000.

In the present invention, in order to lower the ultraviolet (UV) maximum absorption wavelength region, in particular to maximize the UV transmittance in this region with respect to the ArF excimer laser region having a wavelength of 193 nm, the main feature of the ring-opening metathesis polymer is as follows. It is necessary to hydrogenate the olefin in the chain portion. A known hydrogenation catalyst can be used for this hydrogenation reaction.

In addition, the affinity for water is improved, and the developability for a release agent (or developer) such as an alkaline aqueous solution after exposure is also improved.
