Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the titled agent having excellent residual film thickness ratio and compatibility with an alkaline soluble resin by incorporating a mixture of at least two isomers selected among the ortho, the metha, and the para isomers due to the substituents of 1-oxo-2-diazo-naphthoquinone-allysulfonate to the titled agent. CONSTITUTION:The photosensitive agent does not change to 3-indene carboxylic acid derivative by radiation under the vacuum, and reacts with an alkaline soluble matrix resin, thereby forming carboxylic acid ester. Thus, the difference of solubility against an aqueous alkaline solution in a developing process depends on the difference of the solubility of the caboxylic acid ester which is formed by an unchanged photosensitive agent contd. in the matrix resin. And, as each of said isomers has different advantages, the titled agent which is suitable for exposing by an ionizing radiation such as electron ray, X ray and ion beam under a vacuum, without injuring sensitivity, stopping power of dissolution and compatibility with a matrix resin is obtd. by mixing said ortho, metha and para isomers.

Therefore, techniques for forming highly accurate patterns using soft X-rays, electron beams, deep ultraviolet rays, ion beams, etc. with short wavelengths instead of ultraviolet and visible light are beginning to be developed. In addition, wet etching has problems such as impurities contained in the etching solution entering the substrate and etching solution eroding downwards of the pattern (side etching), so plasma reactive sputtering etc. are used. Dry etching processing, which evaporates and erodes the substrate material, is moving on.

Currently, from the viewpoints of high resolution and good dry etch resistance, the most widely used resist is a combination of a resin soluble in an alkaline aqueous solution and a diazoorthonaphthoquinone compound derivative whose solubility in the alkaline aqueous solution changes upon irradiation.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, the diazoorthoquinone compound derivatives that have been used conventionally have low sensitivity and low dissolution inhibition ability in alkaline aqueous solutions, resulting in a thin residual film thickness in the developer. In addition, there were problems in that film-forming properties were poor due to poor compatibility with alkali-soluble resins.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In the photosensitizer of the present invention, the substituent of 1-oxo-2-diazo-naphthoquinone allylsulfonate is a mixture of at least two of ortho, meta and para isomers. It is a photosensitizer characterized by the following.

(Function) Generally, irradiation with ionizing radiation such as electron beams, X-rays, and ion beams is performed under high vacuum. The absorption of such high energy by a photosensitizer is not only completely different from the absorption of ordinary light, but also the reaction of active species generated by irradiation is significantly different in air and vacuum. Therefore,
The performance of photosensitizers is completely different between conventional light exposure and exposure to ionizing radiation such as electron beams, X-rays and ion beams, so photosensitizers suitable for exposure to ionizing radiation such as electron beams, X-rays and ion beams are: The sensitizer must be selected from a different point of view than the sensitizer used by ordinary light exposure.

As a result of studying various diazoorthonaphthoquinone compound derivatives, the inventors discovered 1, 2. It has been found that the substituents of diazonaphthoquinone allyl sulfonate have different sensitivity and ability to inhibit dissolution in a matrix resin depending on the ortho, 2', and para isomers. Furthermore, the present inventors have discovered that by using a mixture of each isomer, the compatibility with the alkali-soluble matrix resin is significantly improved.

When we investigated the reaction of diazoorthonaphthoquinone compound derivatives, we found that in air, they change to 3-indenecarboxylic acid derivatives upon irradiation. Therefore, the change in solubility during the development process is obtained by changing the solubility of the unchanged photosensitizer and the 3-indenecarboxylic acid derivative in the alkaline aqueous solution. On the other hand, in a vacuum, the photosensitizer reacts with an alkali-soluble matrix resin to form a carboxylic acid ester without changing into a 3-indenecarboxylic acid derivative upon irradiation. Therefore, the difference in solubility in an alkaline aqueous solution during the development process depends on the difference in solubility between the unchanged photosensitizer and the formed carboxylic acid ester in the matrix resin.

Therefore, the ability to inhibit dissolution required for pattern formation is completely different between light exposure in air and exposure to ionizing radiation such as electron beams, X-rays, and ion beams in vacuum. From this perspective, the present inventor investigated derivatives of diazoorthonaphthoquinone compounds and found that, in particular, when the substituent is a phenyl derivative, the para isomer has relatively good sensitivity, but has poor solubility and poor compatibility with resins. It was also found that the compatibility was poor. It has also been revealed that the orthoisomer has relatively good dissolution inhibiting ability, but its sensitivity is not very good. Therefore, each isomer has different advantages. As a result of trying to maximize these characteristics, the inventors discovered that by mixing ortho, meta, and para isomers, they can be used in vacuum without impairing sensitivity, dissolution inhibition ability, or compatibility with matrix resin. It has been found that it is possible to achieve photosensitizers suitable for exposure to ionizing radiation such as electron beams, X-rays and ion beams.
