Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a resist pattern not deformed even by a postbaking and the following treating processes by applying stepwise heating to a developed positive type photoresist film at a temperature lower than resist deformation beginning temperature and higher than it under light irradiation. CONSTITUTION:A silicon plate is coated with a positive type photoresist film composed of a novolak type polymer and naphthoquinonediazide as a photodecomposing agent and having a deformation beginning temperature of 135 deg.C, and after prebaking, exposure, and development, the film is exposed to light energy of 0.2J/cm<2> emitted from a light source in the wavelength region shorter than 450nm for 30sec on a heater correctly set to a temperature of 90-110 deg.C as the first step. Then, as the second step, the silicon plate is conveyed onto a heater correctly set to a temperature of 150-170 deg.C, and exposed to a light energy of 0.2J/cm<2> from the same light source for 30sec. During these courses of stepwise irradiation processes, occurrence of abnormal deformation or the like trouble is not found on the resist film, thus permitting a large number of silicon plates to be processed in succession and the obtained resist films to have rectangular section.

FIG. 1 shows a temperature profile of an embodiment of the present invention,
Tc is the deformation start temperature of the positive resist. 45
Do not irradiate light in the wavelength range shorter than 0ns ↑C from 4
Heating for 30 seconds at a temperature 0°C lower, then increasing the heating temperature to a temperature 20°C lower than Tc for 30 seconds, and then heating to 5°C lower than Tc.
Heat at high temperature for 30 seconds, then heat at 20°C higher temperature for 30 seconds. Thereafter, no deformation occurs even after post-breaking at 200°C. Another example is the deformation start temperature 1 made of a novolac type polymer resin and naphthoquinone diazide as a photodegrading agent.
A film of positive photoresist at 35°C was coated on a silicon plate and pre-baked. After exposure and development, as a first step, 0.2 J/- of light energy from a light source in a wavelength region shorter than 450 nm is applied for 30 seconds on a heater precisely set at a temperature in the range of 90 to 110°C. Then, in the second step, the silicon plate was sent by a conveyor onto a heater precisely set at a temperature within the range of 150 to 170°C, and heated at 0.2 J/cd from the same light source.
of light energy for 30 seconds. During this multi-step irradiation process, no abnormality is observed in the resist film, and a large number of silicon plates can be processed continuously. The resist film treated in this manner showed no deformation even after post-break at 200° C. for 120 seconds, and the resist film 2 maintained a rectangular cross section as shown in FIGS. Further, even when ion implantation or dry etching was performed using this resist film as a mask, the rectangular cross section was maintained, and the reduction in film thickness was suppressed to 10%. As a comparative example, a silicon plate of 120
When heated to ℃ and irradiated for 60 seconds with the same light source, 2
After post-baking at 00°C for 120 seconds, the cross section deforms and becomes circular, causing a small amount of resist to flow out.
The desired etching pattern could not be obtained in the next step of dry etching. This result shows that single-stage light irradiation heating is not effective. Whether the light irradiation heating is in two stages or in multiple stages as shown in Figure 1, the substrate can be heated on a plate using a light source with a two-dimensionally uniform irradiation amount and a hot plate with multiple temperature stages. The shape of the resist can be easily maintained by continuous processing of movement.
