Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は半導体の微細加工などを行う際に用いるフォトレジスト用の高分子化合物と、この高分子化合物の製造方法、及び前記の高分子化合物を含有するフォトレジスト用樹脂組成物に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
半導体製造工程で用いられるフォトレジスト用樹脂は、基板密着性を示す部分と、露光によって光酸発生剤から発生する酸により脱離してアルカリ現像液に対して可溶になる部分が必要である。また、フォトレジスト用樹脂は、露光後のドライエッチングに対して耐性を有することが必要がある。
【0003】
従来、アクリル系のフォトレジスト用樹脂では、基板密着性を付与する構造としてラクトン環骨格を有する(メタ)アクリル酸エステル類が提案されている。また、ドライエッチング耐性を有する構造として、脂環式炭化水素骨格を有する(メタ)アクリル酸エステル類が提案されている。酸脱離性は、これらの少なくとも一方のエステル結合部位を第3級炭素にすることで達成できる。従って、前記二者を共重合することにより、フォトレジスト用樹脂として必要な機能が集積されたポリマーを得ることが可能である。しかし、実際には、前記ラクトン環は極性が非常に高い一方、脂環式炭化水素骨格は極性が非常に低いという特徴を持っていることから、前記2種の単量体を共重合に付すと、前者は前者、後者は後者で単独重合する傾向があり、その結果、ランダム重合体にはならずに分子間或いは分子内で大きな組成分布を持つポリマーが生成しやすい。このようなポリマーをフォトレジスト用樹脂として用いると、フォトレジスト用の溶媒に溶解しにくい、基板にスピンコートする際に相分離構造を形成してレジストパターンの形成の障害となる等の不具合が生じやすい。
【0004】
また、十分な基板密着性を付与するためには、ラクトン環骨格を有する単量体を例えば50モル%近く用いる必要があるが、ラクトン環はエッチング耐性に乏しいため、ポリマーとして十分なエッチング耐性を得ることは困難である。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従って、本発明の目的は、各モノマーユニットが偏在せず、分子間や分子内で組成分布の小さい高分子化合物であって、しかもエッチング耐性に優れたフォトレジスト用高分子化合物と、該フォトレジスト用高分子化合物の製造方法、及び該フォトレジスト用高分子化合物を含むフォトレジスト用樹脂組成物を提供することにある。
【0006】
本発明の他の目的は、基板に対する密着性、アルカリ可溶性及びエッチング耐性に優れるとともに、フォトレジスト用溶媒に溶解しやすいフォトレジスト用高分子化合物と、該フォトレジスト用高分子化合物の製造方法、及び該フォトレジスト用高分子化合物を含むフォトレジスト用樹脂組成物を提供することにある。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、上記目的を達成するため鋭意検討した結果、特定のラクトン環骨格を有する(メタ)アクリル酸エステルと特定の脂環式骨格を有する(メタ)アクリル酸エステルに、第3成分として前記2成分の中間の極性を持つ特定の脂環式骨格を有する(メタ)アクリル酸エステルを加えて3元共重合すると、生成するポリマーの分子間及び分子内における組成分布の拡大を回避できると共に、高いエッチング耐性が得られることを見出した。本発明はこれらの知見に基づいて完成されたものである。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a photoresist polymer compound used when performing microfabrication of a semiconductor, a method for producing the polymer compound, and a photoresist resin composition containing the polymer compound.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The photoresist resin used in the semiconductor manufacturing process requires a part that exhibits substrate adhesion and a part that is desorbed by the acid generated from the photoacid generator upon exposure and becomes soluble in an alkaline developer. Further, the photoresist resin needs to be resistant to dry etching after exposure.
[0003]
Conventionally, for acrylic photoresist resins, (meth) acrylic acid esters having a lactone ring skeleton have been proposed as a structure imparting substrate adhesion. Further, (meth) acrylic acid esters having an alicyclic hydrocarbon skeleton have been proposed as a structure having dry etching resistance. Acid eliminability can be achieved by making at least one of these ester bond sites a tertiary carbon. Therefore, by copolymerizing the two, it is possible to obtain a polymer in which necessary functions are integrated as a photoresist resin. However, in practice, the lactone ring has a very high polarity, while the alicyclic hydrocarbon skeleton has a very low polarity. Therefore, the two monomers are subjected to copolymerization. The former tends to be homopolymerized with the former, and the latter tends to homopolymerize. As a result, a polymer having a large composition distribution between molecules or within a molecule is likely to be formed without becoming a random polymer. When such a polymer is used as a resin for photoresist, problems such as difficulty in dissolving in a solvent for photoresist and formation of a phase separation structure during spin coating on a substrate and hindering formation of a resist pattern occur. Cheap.
[0004]
In addition, in order to give sufficient adhesion to the substrate, it is necessary to use a monomer having a lactone ring skeleton, for example, close to 50 mol%. However, since the lactone ring has poor etching resistance, it has sufficient etching resistance as a polymer. It is difficult to get.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a high molecular compound for a photoresist, in which each monomer unit is not unevenly distributed, has a small composition distribution between molecules or within a molecule, and has excellent etching resistance, and the photoresist. It is in providing the manufacturing method of the high molecular compound for photoresists, and the resin composition for photoresists containing this high molecular compound for photoresists.
[0006]
Another object of the present invention is to provide a photoresist polymer compound that is excellent in adhesion to a substrate, alkali solubility and etching resistance, and is easily dissolved in a photoresist solvent, a method for producing the photoresist polymer compound, and An object of the present invention is to provide a photoresist resin composition containing the photoresist polymer compound.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of intensive studies to achieve the above object, the present inventors have found that a (meth) acrylic acid ester having a specific lactone ring skeleton and a (meth) acrylic acid ester having a specific alicyclic skeleton have a third component. By adding a (meth) acrylic acid ester having a specific alicyclic skeleton having an intermediate polarity between the two components as described above, ternary copolymerization can avoid an increase in the composition distribution between and within the polymer. At the same time, it was found that high etching resistance can be obtained. The present invention has been completed based on these findings.

A pattern with high resolution can be formed by development. The value of the solubility parameter is 19.4 (J / cm Three ) 1/2 If it is lower, the adhesion to the substrate is lowered, and the problem that the pattern is not peeled off by development tends to occur. Moreover, the value of the solubility parameter is 24.6 (J / cm Three ) 1/2 If it is larger, it tends to be difficult to be applied by being repelled on the substrate, and the affinity to an alkaline developer is increased. As a result, the contrast of the solubility between the exposed and unexposed areas deteriorates, resulting in a decrease in resolution. It becomes easy to do.

It can be selected from a range of about 1 to 30 parts by weight, preferably 1 to 25 parts by weight, and more preferably about 2 to 20 parts by weight.
[0041]

[0042]
This photoresist resin composition is applied onto a substrate or substrate, dried, and then exposed to light on a coating film (resist film) through a predetermined mask (or further subjected to post-exposure baking). By forming the latent image pattern and then developing it, a fine pattern can be formed with high accuracy.
[0043]
Examples of the base material or the substrate include a silicon wafer, metal, plastic, glass, and ceramic.

The exposure energy is, for example, 1 to 1000 mJ / cm. 2 , Preferably 10 to 500 mJ / cm 2 Degree.

An acid is generated from the photoacid generator by light irradiation, and this acid quickly removes a protective group (leaving group) such as a carboxyl group of the alkali-soluble unit of the polymer compound, thereby contributing to solubilization. Carboxyl groups and the like are generated. Therefore, a predetermined pattern can be accurately formed by development with water or an alkali developer.

Therefore, it can be suitably used as a photoresist resin, and a fine pattern can be formed with high accuracy.
