本発明は半導体集積回路の製造におけるリソグラフィー

程は、集積回路の歩留りを左右する重要な工程である。In the manufacture of semiconductor integrated circuits, the step of patterning a semiconductor wafer coated with a resist material by light exposure is an important step that affects the yield of integrated circuits.

力さけなくてはならない。At this time, if there are scratches or dust on the mask, which is the pattern original, the scratches or foreign matter will be printed on the wafer along with the pattern, causing short circuits, disconnections, etc. in the produced circuits. For this reason, mask protection and dustproofing are extremely important issues in improving productivity. In particular, in the stepper type, which uses the same reticle to repeatedly form a pattern on a single wafer, if there are scratches or dust on the reticle, the defects that occur will affect all the circuits on the wafer. Also, adhesion of dust must be avoided as much as possible.

てきている。Recently, it has been proposed and put into practice to cover one or both sides of a mask with a transparent plastic thin film for the purpose of protecting the mask and preventing dust. At this time, the distance between the mask and the plastic thin film should be kept sufficiently large (so that even if dust adheres to the plastic thin film, it will not condense on the wafer because it will be out of focus of the optical system of the exposure equipment). Further, since the conventional process of cleaning and removing dust adhering to the mask is no longer necessary, the production process is simplified, and its usefulness is becoming clear.

も高い透明性と耐久性を有する薄膜が求められている。The performance required for a plastic thin film used for mask protection and dustproofing is to be transparent with virtually no absorption in the light source wavelength range of the exposure equipment used, and to have sufficient durability without coloring or deterioration. be. Particularly in recent years, as semiconductor circuits become finer, the wavelength of exposure light sources has become shorter, and there is a demand for thin films that have high transparency and durability not only in the conventional near-ultraviolet region but also in the far-ultraviolet region.

離することが極めて困難となる。On the other hand, in manufacturing a plastic thin film that is uniform and free from unevenness and defects, it is necessary for the plastic thin film to have high mechanical strength and sufficient peelability. The most effective means of obtaining a thin film is to cast plastic dissolved in a volatile solvent onto a smooth substrate such as a silicon wafer, glass plate, or metal plate, and after the solvent evaporates, the thin film formed on the curtain material is peeled off. However, in this case, it is extremely difficult to peel a thin film without sufficient strength and peelability from the substrate without causing defects.

Polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene, parylene, polymethyl methacrylate, and the like are known, among which nitrocellulose has been mainly used. However, although materials such as nitrocellulose can be used in the conventional near-ultraviolet region, they absorb in the far-ultraviolet region, so they rapidly become colored or deteriorate under irradiation with far-ultraviolet light, making them unusable.

However, as is clear from the fact that polyvinyl butyral is mainly used as an adhesive, it exhibits strong adhesion to silicon wafers, glass plates, metal plates, etc. used as base materials when producing thin films. Since the thin film cannot be easily peeled off from these base materials, it has been extremely difficult to manufacture uniform and defect-free protective dust-proof bodies for masks with a high yield.

The present invention provides a protective dust-proof body for a mask that has excellent strength and productivity.

出し、本発明に到達した。The inventors of the present invention have conducted intensive studies in order to obtain a protective dust-proof body for masks that can be used in the entire ultraviolet region and that can be manufactured at a high yield without causing defects such as stretching, wrinkles, and tears. As a result, by substituting the vinyl alcohol component of polyvinyl acetal with a fluorine-containing silyl group, it is possible to improve the transparency and durability of polyvinyl acetal without sacrificing its excellent transparency and durability.
The inventors have discovered that the releasability, which was a drawback, can be improved, and that a uniform and defect-free protective dustproof body for a mask can be obtained fairly easily, and the present invention has been achieved.

きる。The polyvinyl acetal represented by the above-mentioned pattern (II) is obtained by a condensation reaction between polyvinyl alcohol and an aldehyde. Examples of the aldehyde used here include acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, isobutyraldehyde, n-butyraldehyde, and the like, and the aldehydes may be used alone or as a mixture of two or more. The condensation reaction is not particularly limited (a widely known method can be used. For example, using polyvinyl acetate as a starting material, after saponifying its alcohol, acetic acid, hydrochloric acid solution or aqueous suspension, A method of continuously reacting with an aldehyde under an acid catalyst such as sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid, or a method using polyvinyl alcohol as a starting material, adding an aldehyde to its aqueous solution or alcohol dispersion, and reacting under an acid catalyst such as sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid. A method using polyvinyl alcohol as a starting material is more preferable because the resulting polyvinyl acetal has good transparency and the molecular weight and vinyl acetate component content can be easily controlled. The content of vinyl acetate component in the polyvinyl alcohol starting material can be controlled by adjusting the vinyl acetate component content in the polyvinyl alcohol starting material.In addition, the molar ratio of polyvinyl alcohol and aldehyde, reaction time, reaction temperature, catalyst amount, etc. By controlling , polyvinyl acetals having various degrees of acetalization can be obtained.
