Abstract

PURPOSE:To be free from the deterioration of sensitivity or the nonuniformity of a pattern by preventing the presence of oxygen gas in an exposure atmosphere. CONSTITUTION:A resist layer is formed onto a substrate, an organic high molec ular layer difficult to permeate oxygen gas is shaped onto the resist layer, oxygen gas contained in the resist layer is replaced with an inert gas, and a desired resist pattern is formed through exposure and development. Characteristics such as 1. no deterioration of sensitivity on exposure, 2. no mixing with the resist layer as a foundation, etc. are required for an organic high molecular material difficult to permeate oxygen gas used, and polyvinyl alcohol is cited. lt is proper that the film thickness of the organic high molecular layer is normally 0.1-0.3mum. Oxygen gas contained in the resist layer is replaced with the inert gas in such a manner that a sample is placed in a sealed vessel, and deaeration and the filling process of the inert gas are repeated. Nitrogen gas, argon gas, etc., are preferable as the inert gas.

[Prior Art] Organic polymer materials called resists are widely used in the manufacture of semiconductor integrated circuits, magnetic bubble memories, and the like. There are a wide variety of materials for this resist, one of which is a negative resist made of bisazide and an organic polymer.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In a negative regime consisting of bisazide and an acidic polymer, a desired resist can be obtained by changing the organic polymer, but depending on the type of organic polymer, Reactivity with nitrene decreases, resulting in decreased sensitivity,
This may lead to non-uniformity in pattern formation. Alternatively, if the compatibility between the organic polymer and bisazide is poor, the amount of bisazide added may be suppressed, resulting in the same problem as described above. These things become particularly noticeable when oxygen gas is present in the exposure atmosphere.
