JP4849268B2 - Resist material and pattern forming method using the same - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a resist material used in fine processing in a manufacturing process of a semiconductor element, for example, photolithography using an ArF excimer laser having a wavelength of 193 nm as a light source, and a resist pattern forming method using the same.

  In recent years, with the higher integration and higher speed of LSIs, there is a demand for finer pattern rules. In light exposure currently used as a general-purpose technology, the intrinsic resolution limit derived from the wavelength of the light source Is approaching.

  Conventionally, light exposure using a g-ray (436 nm) or i-line (365 nm) of a mercury lamp as a light source has been widely used as exposure light used in forming a resist pattern. As a means for further miniaturization, a method of shortening the exposure wavelength is effective, and a mass production process after 64 Mbit (process size is 0.25 μm or less) DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory). In this case, a short wavelength KrF excimer laser (248 nm) was used as an exposure light source in place of i-line (365 nm).

  However, in order to manufacture DRAMs with a density of 256M and 1G or more that require finer processing technology (processing dimensions of 0.2 μm or less), a light source with a shorter wavelength is required, and an ArF excimer has been used for about 10 years. Photolithography using a laser (193 nm) has been studied in earnest.

  Initially, ArF lithography was supposed to be applied from the device fabrication of the 180 nm node, but KrF excimer lithography was extended to 130 nm node device mass production, and full-scale application of ArF lithography is from the 90 nm node. Further, a 65 nm node device is being studied in combination with a lens whose NA is increased to 0.9.

For the next 45 nm node device, the exposure wavelength has been shortened, and F ₂ lithography with a wavelength of 157 nm was nominated. However, various factors such as an increase in the cost of the scanner by using a large amount of expensive CaF ₂ single crystal for the projection lens, a change in the optical system due to the introduction of a hard pellicle because the durability of the soft pellicle is extremely low, and a reduction in resist etching resistance Because of this problem, it was proposed that F ₂ lithography be advanced and early introduction of ArF immersion lithography (see Non-Patent Document 1: Proc. SPIE Vol. 4690 xxix (2002)).

  In ArF immersion lithography, it has been proposed to impregnate water between the projection lens and the wafer. The refractive index of water at 193 nm is 1.44, and it is possible to form a pattern using a lens having an NA of 1.0 or more. Theoretically, the NA can be increased to 1.35. The resolution is improved by the improvement of NA, and the possibility of a 45 nm node is shown by a combination of a lens of NA 1.2 or higher and strong super-resolution technology (see Non-Patent Document 2: Proc. SPIE Vol. 5040 p724). .

  Here, various problems due to the presence of water on the resist film have been pointed out. In other words, the photo acid generator in the resist composition, the acid generated by light irradiation, and the amine compound added to the resist film as a quencher elutes in the water in contact (leaching), resulting in a pattern shape Examples thereof include a change and pattern collapse due to water swelling of the photoresist film.

  In particular, with regard to elution of the resist composition into water, studies were initially started from the viewpoint of preventing contamination of the projection lens of the exposure apparatus, and a plurality of exposure apparatus manufacturers proposed elution amount standards.

  As a method for solving this problem, it has been proposed that it is effective to provide a protective film made of a perfluoroalkyl compound between a resist film and water (Non-Patent Document 3: 2nd Immersion Work Shop, July 11). , 2003, Resist and Cover Material Investigation for Immersion Lithography).

  By forming these protective films, direct contact between the photoresist film and water can be avoided, so that elution of the photoresist composition into water can be suppressed.

  However, in the protective film made of the perfluoroalkyl compound, chlorofluorocarbon or the like is used as a diluent for controlling the coating thickness, and as is well known, chlorofluorocarbon is currently problematic for use from the viewpoint of environmental protection. ing. In addition, since this protective film must be peeled off with chlorofluorocarbon before development of the photoresist film, it is necessary to add a coating unit and a peeling unit exclusively for the protective film to the conventional apparatus, and the cost of chlorofluorocarbon solvents. There were many problems in practical use, such as being voluminous.

  As means for reducing the practical disadvantages associated with the use of these solvent-peeling protective films, alkali developer-soluble protective films have been proposed (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-264131).

  Such an alkaline developer-soluble protective film can be dissolved and removed at the same time in the development process of the photoresist film, which is revolutionary in that it does not require an additional protective film peeling process or a special peeling unit. It can be said that there is.

  On the other hand, all ArF immersion exposure apparatuses marketed to date do not immerse the entire substrate coated with a resist film in water, but hold water partially between the projection lens and the wafer. In this method, exposure is performed while scanning the stage on which the wafer is placed at a speed of 300 to 550 mm per second. As described above, there is a problem that water cannot be held between the projection lens and the wafer due to high-speed scanning, and droplets remain on the surface of the photoresist or the protective film after scanning. . It is believed that leaving the droplets in this way induces pattern formation defects.

  In order to eliminate the remaining droplets on the photoresist surface or the protective film surface after exposure scanning, it is necessary to improve the ease of movement of water on these coating films. In order to reduce the number of defects due to immersion exposure, it has been shown that it is effective to increase the receding contact angle when water droplets on the photoresist film or the protective film are moved (Non-Patent Document 4). : 2nd International Symposium on Immersion Lithography, 12-15 / Sept., 2005, Defective data take with the full-field immersion exp., Et al. As a method for measuring the receding contact angle, there are a falling method of tilting the substrate and a suction method of sucking water, and the falling method is generally used.

  Residual defects called blobs occurring on the resist film after development have been a problem. This is considered that the protective film or resist material deposited at the time of rinsing after development is redeposited on the resist film, and occurs remarkably when the developed resist film is highly hydrophobic. In a resist for immersion lithography using a protective film, a protective film with high hydrophobicity remains on the resist film surface after development due to mixing of the protective film and the resist film, and a blob defect occurs on the resist film. It is necessary to prevent mixing between the protective film and the resist film so that the protective film does not remain after development.

  The line edge roughness of the resist pattern is a problem. It has been pointed out that as the miniaturization progresses, the edge roughness of the photoresist after development is reflected in the edge roughness after etching, which impedes device characteristics. Optimization of polymer molecular weight to reduce resist edge roughness, narrow molecular weight polymer, living anion polymerization and living radical polymerization to polymerize this, drop polymerization method to make polymerization rate uniform and lactone with high polymerization rate There have been proposed improvements from polymers such as homogenization of the polymerization rate by making the monomer a somewhat slow polymerization rate, and prevention of swelling during development by introducing a repeating unit having a hexafluoroalcohol group as an adhesive group. Increasing the contrast by increasing the amount of acid generator and quencher base compound is also an effective means, but increasing the amount of acid generator decreases the transparency, resulting in a tapered resist shape and increased acid diffusion distance. Therefore, there are problems such as a decrease in exposure margin and an increase in mask error factor (MEEF).

  In electron beam exposure lithography, charge-up of a resist during exposure is a problem. In order to prevent charge-up, a water-soluble antistatic film is formed on a photoresist. As the antistatic film, a material in which an amine salt of sulfonic acid or the like is added to a water-soluble polymer is used. The negative charge generated by the electron beam exposure moves to the ground of the wafer chuck through the antistatic film and is released. However, when an antistatic film is formed on a photoresist film, the addition of a new process of applying the antistatic film and the cost of the antistatic film material increase, which is not preferable. Development of a photoresist having an antistatic function that does not require an antistatic film is desired.

  It has been reported that the pattern shape is different between a bright pattern in which the periphery of the line and space pattern is exposed and a dark pattern in which the periphery is not exposed. When the peripheral portion of the pattern is exposed, the acid generated from the peripheral portion evaporates in the PEB and covers the pattern portion, thereby reducing the film thickness of the line pattern. On the other hand, when the peripheral portion is not exposed, there is no supply of acid from the peripheral portion, and conversely, the line pattern becomes a head shape due to evaporation of the amine.

  This difference in shape is called a dark bright difference, and the same phenomenon occurs not only in immersion lithography but also in lithography in vacuum such as dry lithography and electron beam. The dark bright difference can be reduced by attaching a protective film on the resist (Non-patent Document 5: Proc. SPIE Vol. 5753 p261 (2005)).

SPIE Vol. 5040 p724 2nd Immersion Work Shop, July 11, 2003, Resist and Cover Material Investing for Immersion Lithography 2nd International Symposium on Immersion Lithography, 12-15 / Sept. , 2005, Defectivity data take with a full-field immersion exposure tool, Nakano et. , Al. Non-patent literature: Proc. SPIE Vol. 5753 p261 (2005)

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, by forming a film having a sulfonium salt as an acid generator and an amino group as a quencher on the surface by modifying the photoresist surface after coating, This improves the line edge roughness, reduces the dark bright difference with polymer-type acid and amine that do not worry about evaporation due to baking, and mixes the resist film with the protective film when the protective film layer is formed on it. The occurrence of blob defects can be suppressed by increasing the hydrophilicity of the resist surface after exposure and development. Furthermore, in the case of an electron beam resist, the resist film surface is charged with an electron beam exposure. It is an object of the present invention to provide a resist material and a pattern forming method that give an effect of preventing charge-up occurring therein.

  The present invention is characterized in that a sulfonium salt serving as an acid generator represented by the general formula (1) and a polymeric surfactant having a fluoroalkyl group are added as a photoresist material. After the photoresist film formation, the sulfonium salt that serves as the acid generator and the polymeric surfactant having a fluoroalkyl group are aligned on the photoresist film surface, thereby forming a photoresist surface with a high acid generator concentration. The Further, when the repeating unit having an amino group is copolymerized, a resist surface having a high concentration of acid and amine can be formed after exposure, and the edge roughness of the resist pattern after development can be reduced. When immersion exposure is performed after the photoresist film is formed, a protective film is applied to the upper layer. In order to achieve both alkali solubility and water repellency, the protective film is based on a high molecular compound having an α-trifluoromethylhydroxy group, and has 4 or more higher alcohols, ethers, alkanes, fluorine atoms that do not dissolve the resist film. Those dissolved in a solvent selected from the above are preferably used. The polymer type surfactant having a sulfonium salt and a fluoroalkyl group as an acid generator of the present invention is not dissolved in the protective film solvent at all, and thus prevents intermixing between the protective film and the resist film. A barrier layer is formed. For this reason, there is no change in the resist pattern shape after development between when the protective film is used and when it is not used, and a good pattern can be obtained.

The polymerizable monomer for obtaining the repeating unit a represented by the general formula (1) can be exemplified by the following general formula (3).

  In order to synthesize the sulfonium salt used in the copolymer of the present invention, the sulfonate anion having a polymerizable unsaturated bond is exchanged with a known sulfonium salt halide or anion such as alkyl sulfonate or aryl sulfonate. The method of doing is mentioned.

And a method of reacting phenacyl chloride or chloroacetone with a dialkyl sulfide or a cyclic alkylene sulfide (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-354669, JP 2003-321466 A Publication), naphthol, hydroxyl group-containing aromatic compounds such as phenol and dialkyl sulfides, a method of reacting a cyclic alkylene sulfides (JP 2002-229192 JP) and the like. Here, as the anion of the sulfonium salt, it is preferable to use an anion having an acid strength of the conjugate acid that is not too high. For example, as anions, there are halide ions such as chloride ion, bromide ion and iodide ion, methanesulfonate, ethanesulfonate, butanesulfonate, alkylsulfonate such as 10-camphorsulfonate, arylsulfonate such as benzenesulfonate and p-toluenesulfonate. It is preferred to use a sulfonium salt. In this case, anion exchange between a sulfonium salt having a perfluoroalkyl sulfonate such as trifluoromethanesulfonate, nonafluoro-1-butanesulfonate, perfluoro-1-octanesulfonate, etc. as an anion and the sulfonate anion having the above-described polymerizable double bond The reaction often does not proceed quantitatively.

  Specifically, the sulfonium salt synthesized by the existing method as described above, in particular, a sodium ion or a potassium ion of a sulfonic acid having a polymerizable unsaturated bond and a sulfonium salt having a halide ion, alkyl sulfonate or aryl sulfonate as anions. Agitation of metal ions such as calcium ions or ammonium salts such as ammonium and triethylammonium salts in the presence of water and organic solvents that can be separated from water such as dichloromethane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, methyl isobutyl ketone, and tetrahydrofuran.

  The method for synthesizing the sulfonium salt having a polymerizable anion represented by the general formula (1) of the present invention will be described further. Triphenylsulfonium 1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoro synthesized by the present inventors By reacting 2-hydroxypropanesulfonate with (meth) acryloyl chloride or (meth) acrylic anhydride under basic conditions, a sulfonium salt of the above general formula (1) having a polymerizable anion can be obtained. it can.

The synthesis of triphenylsulfonium 1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoro-2-hydroxypropanesulfonate is briefly described as follows.
Represented by 1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoropropen-2-ylbenzoate developed by Nakai et al. Using 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol as a starting material 1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoropropen-2-yl aliphatic carboxylic acid ester or aromatic carboxylic acid ester with radical initiation such as sodium bisulfite or sodium sulfite and azobisisobutyronitrile or benzoyl peroxide By reacting in water or alcohol as a solvent and a mixture thereof in the presence of an agent, the corresponding 1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoro-2-acyloxypropane sulfonate or 1,1,3,3, After obtaining 3-pentafluoro-2-arenecarbonyloxypropanesulfonate, sulfonium is used as appropriate Ion exchange with triphenylsulfonium 1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoro-2-acyloxypropane sulfonate or triphenylsulfonium 1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoro-2-arenecarbonyloxy Propanesulfonate can be obtained, and the carboxylic acid ester moiety of the sulfonate is hydrolyzed with an alkali such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, or solvolyzed with an alcohol and a base to obtain the target triphenylsulfonium. 1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoro-2-hydroxypropane sulfonate can be obtained. Synthesis of sulfonium salts other than triphenylsulfonium can be performed in the same manner.

  The reaction for synthesizing the polymerizable anion proceeds easily by a known method. A sulfonium salt such as triphenylsulfonium 1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoro-2-hydroxypropanesulfonate is converted into methylene chloride, tetrahydrofuran, Dissolve in a solvent such as acetonitrile, and add a base such as triethylamine, pyridine, 4-dimethylaminopyridine and an acid chloride or acid anhydride such as acryloyl chloride, acrylic anhydride, methacryloyl chloride, methacrylic anhydride sequentially or simultaneously. In addition, cooling or heating may be performed as necessary.

  Next, as a monomer for obtaining the repeating unit which has the (alpha)-trifluoromethyl alcohol group shown by (b-1) in General formula (1), it can illustrate below.

（式中、Ｒ³、Ｒ⁶は前述と同様である。）

  Examples of the repeating unit (b-2) represented by the general formula (1) include the following specific examples.

(Wherein R ¹¹ is as described above.)

  As the polymer compound added to the resist material of the present invention, a, (b-1) and (b-2) in the above general formula (1), and further, as indicated by c in the general formula (2) are repeated. Although it contains a unit, a repeating unit d having a carboxyl group can be copolymerized for the purpose of improving alkali solubility or improving the hydrophilicity of a resist after development.

  Specific examples of the repeating unit d having a carboxyl group include the following.

  In the general formula (1) added to the resist material, a, (b-1), (b-2), and a polymer compound having a repeating unit represented by c, d copolymerized as necessary. The polystyrene-reduced weight average molecular weight by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) is 1,000 to 100,000, preferably 2,000 to 30,000, but is not limited thereto. When the molecular weight is 1,000 or more, sufficient barrier performance against water can be exhibited during immersion exposure, and dissolution of the photoresist composition into water can be sufficiently suppressed. Further, if the molecular weight is 100,000 or less, the dissolution rate of the polymer compound in the alkaline developer is sufficiently high. Therefore, when a pattern is formed using a photoresist film containing the polymer compound, the resin residue is formed on the substrate. There is little possibility to adhere to.

  In the above general formula (1), a high molecular compound having repeating units a, (b-1), (b-2) and, if necessary, c and d, is a resist compound as a single high molecular compound. You may mix | blend with material, you may mix | blend 2 or more types of high molecular compounds which copolymerized the copolymerization ratio, molecular weight, or different types of monomers in arbitrary ratios, and you may mix | blend with a resist material.

The copolymerization ratios of a, (b-1), (b-2), c and d are 0 <a <1.0, 0 ≦ (b-1) <1.0, 0 ≦ (b-2) <1.0, 0 <(b-1) + (b-2) <1.0, 0 ≦ c ≦ 0.6, 0 ≦ d ≦ 0.8, preferably 0.02 ≦ a ≦ 0.5 0 ≦ (b−1) ≦ 0.98, 0 ≦ (b−2) ≦ 0.8, 0.1 ≦ (b−1) + (b−2) ≦ 0.98, 0 ≦ c ≦ 0 .5, 0 ≦ d ≦ 0.7.
Note that a + (b-1) + (b-2) + c + d = 1.

  Here, for example, a + (b-1) + (b-2) + c + d = 1 means that in the polymer compound containing the repeating unit a + (b-1) + (b-2) + c + d, the repeating unit a, (b -1), (b-2), c, d indicates that the total amount of all repeating units is 100 mol%, a + (b-1) + (b-2) + c + d <1 Means that the total amount of the repeating units a, (b-1), (b-2), c, d is less than 100 mol% with respect to the total amount of all the repeating units, and a, (b-1), ( It shows having other repeating units besides b-2), c and d.

  The compounding ratio of the polymeric surfactant represented by the general formula (1) to the resist material is such that the total mass of the polymer compound to be added is 0.01 to 50 mass with respect to 100 mass parts of the base resin of the resist material. Parts, preferably 0.1 to 10 parts by mass. If this is 0.01 parts by mass or more, the acid concentration on the photoresist surface is increased, and the effects of the invention can be exhibited.

  In the present invention, the resist material contains a base resin, but when it is a chemically amplified positive resist material, it has at least a repeating unit having an acid labile group and an adhesive group of a hydroxy group and / or a lactone ring. A base resin containing a repeating unit is preferably included.

  With such a chemically amplified positive resist material, the base resin includes a repeating unit having a hydroxy group and / or an adhesive group of a lactone ring, whereby high adhesion to the substrate can be realized. Furthermore, since the base resin has repeating units having acid labile groups, the acid labile groups are eliminated by the acid generated by the acid generator during exposure, so that the resist exposed area is dissolved in the developer. By doing so, a very highly accurate pattern can be obtained.

As a resist base resin, a polymer having a polystyrene-reduced weight average molecular weight of 1,000 to 100,000, preferably 3,000 to 30,000 by GPC represented by the following formula (R1) and / or the following formula (R2): Although a compound can be mentioned, it is not limited to these.

The present invention provides a pattern forming method comprising a step of applying the resist material on a substrate, a step of exposing to high energy rays after heat treatment, and a step of developing using a developer. provide. At this time, it is preferable that the high energy ray has a wavelength in the range of 180 to 250 nm.
In addition, the step of exposing with the high energy beam can be performed by immersion exposure through a liquid, for example, using an exposure wavelength in the range of 180 to 250 nm, and using a substrate coated with the resist material and a projection lens. A liquid can be inserted in between, and the substrate can be exposed through the liquid. In addition, water etc. are mentioned as a liquid used for immersion exposure.

In order to form a pattern using the resist material of the present invention, a known lithography technique can be employed.
For example, on a substrate for manufacturing an integrated circuit (Si, SiO ₂ , SiN, SiON, TiN, WSi, BPSG, SOG, low dielectric constant film, etc.) so that the film thickness becomes 10 to 200 nm by a technique such as spin coating. A resist material is applied, and this is prebaked on a hot plate at 50 to 150 ° C. for 1 to 10 minutes, preferably 60 to 140 ° C. for 1 to 5 minutes to form a photoresist film.

  By providing an antireflection film between the integrated circuit manufacturing substrate and the photoresist, substrate reflection can be suppressed. Examples of the antireflection film include inorganic films such as amorphous carbon and SiON, and organic films formed by spin coating, but the latter is widely used.

Since the NA of the projection lens exceeds 1 due to immersion exposure and the incident angle of light on the resist and the antireflection film increases, reflection control becomes difficult with the conventional single-layer antireflection film. Layer antireflection coatings have been proposed. In addition, since the margin of etching decreases as the resist film becomes thinner, a film containing silicon is formed as a lower layer of the resist, and a lower layer film having a high carbon density is formed on the substrate for manufacturing the integrated circuit therebelow. A three-layer process for filming has been proposed.
As described above, various and multi-layered films are formed as films under the photoresist.

  After forming the resist film, a water-insoluble and alkali-soluble resist protective film material can be formed on the photoresist layer by a spin coating method or the like. The thickness of the protective film is preferably in the range of 10 to 500 nm. The exposure method may be dry exposure in which the space between the resist protective film and the projection lens is a gas such as air or nitrogen, but may be immersion exposure in which the space between the resist protective film and the projection lens is filled with liquid. Water is preferably used in the immersion exposure. In immersion exposure, the presence or absence of cleaning of the wafer edge and back surface and the cleaning method are important in order to prevent water from flowing around the wafer back surface and elution from the substrate. For example, after spin-coating the resist protective film, the solvent is volatilized by baking at 40 to 130 ° C. for 10 to 300 seconds. Edge cleaning is performed at the time of spin coating in the case of a resist film or dry exposure, but in the case of immersion exposure, when a highly hydrophilic substrate surface comes into contact with water, water may remain on the substrate surface of the edge portion, which is preferable. Not that. Therefore, there is a method in which edge cleaning is not performed during spin coating of the resist protective film. After exposure, post-exposure baking (PEB) is performed, and development is performed with an alkali developer for 10 to 300 seconds. As the alkali developer, a 2.38 mass% tetramethylammonium hydroxide aqueous solution is generally widely used. Before PEB, water may remain on the resist film. If PEB is performed in a state where water remains, the water absorbs the acid in the resist, and the pattern cannot be formed. In order to completely remove the water on the protective film before PEB, it is necessary to dry or recover the water on the film by spin drying before PEB, purging with dry air or nitrogen on the film surface, or post-soaking after exposure. .

  The kind of resist material used as a base is not specifically limited. It may be a positive type or a negative type, and may be an ordinary hydrocarbon-based single layer resist material or a bilayer resist material containing silicon atoms or the like. The resist material used in KrF exposure is a polyhydroxystyrene or polyhydroxystyrene- (meth) acrylate copolymer as a base resin, in which a part or all of the hydrogen atoms of hydroxy groups or carboxyl groups are substituted with acid labile groups. Coalescence is preferably used.

  The resist material in ArF exposure must have a structure that does not contain aromatics other than naphthalene as the base resin. Specifically, polyacrylic acid and its derivatives, norbornene derivative-maleic anhydride alternating polymer and polyacrylic acid or its Tri- or quaternary copolymers with derivatives, tetracyclododecene derivatives-maleic anhydride alternating polymers and terpolymers with polyacrylic acid or its derivatives, norbornene derivatives-maleimide alternating polymers and polyacrylic Ternary or quaternary copolymers with acids or derivatives thereof, tetracyclododecene derivative-maleimide alternating polymers and ternary or quaternary copolymers with polyacrylic acid or derivatives thereof, and two or more of these, or One or two selected from polynorbornene and metathesis ring-opening polymers High molecular weight polymer above is preferably used.

  As described above, the photoresist film formed using the resist material of the present invention is difficult to form a mixing layer with respect to the protective film, and because of its high hydrophilicity after development, defects such as residues called blobs are generated. There is no.

As resist materials for mask blanks, novolak and hydroxystyrene-based resins are mainly used. Those obtained by substituting hydroxy groups of these resins with acid labile groups are used as positive types, and those added with a crosslinking agent are used as negative types. A polymer obtained by copolymerizing hydroxystyrene and a (meth) acrylic derivative, styrene, vinylnaphthalene, vinylanthracene, vinylpyrene, hydroxyvinylnaphthalene, hydroxyvinylanthracene, indene, hydroxyindene, acenaphthylene, norbornadiene may be used as a base.
When used as a mask blank resist film, the photoresist material of the present invention is applied onto a mask blank substrate such as SiO ₂ , Cr, CrO, CrN, or MoSi to form a resist film. A three-layer structure may be formed by forming an SOG film and an organic underlayer film between a photoresist and a blank substrate.
After forming the resist film, exposure is performed with an electron beam drawing machine. After exposure, post-exposure baking (PEB) is performed, and development is performed with an alkali developer for 10 to 300 seconds.
