2. Description of the Related Art When a photoresist pattern is formed by photolithography, multiple interference of light due to reflection of light at the interface between the photoresist layer and the substrate and at the surface of the photoresist layer during exposure reduces the pattern dimensional accuracy. Lower. In order to prevent this, a method of forming an antireflection film on the surface of a photoresist layer has been conventionally studied. It is generally considered that an antireflection film having the following performance is desirable.

(1) According to the well-known antireflection theory, the antireflection effect is maximized when the refractive index of the antireflection film is equal to the square root of the refractive index of the photoresist. Specifically, an antireflection film having a refractive index value smaller than 1.4 has been desired. Ideally, the refractive index of the anti-reflection film is 1.27 to 1.34, whereas the refractive index of the general photoresist is 1.6 to 1.8. Drops.

(2) It is desirable that the removal of the antireflection film is performed by using a photoresist developer. The development of the photoresist after the exposure is performed with an alkaline aqueous solution such as an aqueous solution of tetramethylammonium hydroxide. At this time, it is preferable that the antireflection film be removed at the same time from the viewpoint of shortening the process and improving the yield.
