Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for forming a fine pattern of a semiconductor device is provided to increase resolution of a fine pattern by coating a chemical amplification type photoresist layer and by developing the chemical amplification type photoresist layer positively and negatively while using one exposure mask. CONSTITUTION: A photoresist layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate(11) having a layer to be etched. The first exposure process and the first development process are performed on the photoresist layer by using an exposure mask to form the first photoresist layer pattern of a positive type from which an exposed portion is removed. The second exposure process and the second development process are performed on the first photoresist layer pattern by using the exposure mask to form the second photoresist layer pattern(23) from which the first photoresist layer pattern in a non-exposed portion is eliminated.

Description

반도체소자의 미세패턴 형성방법{A method for forming a fine pattern of a semiconductor device}A method for forming a fine pattern of a semiconductor device

본 발명은 반도체소자의 미세패턴 형성방법에 관한 것으로, 특히 반도체소자의 고집적화에 따른 미세패턴 형성시 감광막패턴의 해상도를 증가시킬 수 있는 리소그래피 방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method of forming a fine pattern of a semiconductor device, and more particularly to a lithography method capable of increasing the resolution of a photoresist pattern when forming a fine pattern due to high integration of a semiconductor device.

종래의 공정에서 해상도 ( resolution )을 향상시키는 가장 간단한 방법은 노광 파장을 줄이거나, 렌즈의 개구수 ( numerical aperture )를 증가시키는 것이다.The simplest way to improve resolution in conventional processes is to reduce the exposure wavelength or increase the numerical aperture of the lens.

또 다른 방법은 공정상수 ( process factor )를 작게 만드는 것으로, 변형조명법 ( off-axis illumination ), 위상반전 마스크 ( phase shift mask ), 광학회절 보정법 ( optical proximity correction ) 등의 기술을 이용하는 것이다.Another method is to make the process factor small, using techniques such as off-axis illumination, phase shift mask, and optical proximity correction.

그러나, 상기 모든 방법들은 많은 비용이 소요될 뿐만 아니라 감광막 패턴 간격을 줄이는데 한계가 있다.However, all the above methods are expensive and have limitations in reducing the photoresist pattern spacing.

왜냐하면, 노광 파장을 줄이거나, 렌즈 개구수를 증가시키는데 한계가 있기 때문이다.This is because there is a limit in reducing the exposure wavelength or increasing the lens numerical aperture.

현재, 양산을 기준으로 할 때, 파장은 248 ㎚, 렌즈의 개구수(NA)는 0.80 이하가 한계이고, 상기한 기술을 이용하여 0.30 이하의 공정상수 값을 갖는 것은 매우 어려운 것으로 평가되고 있다.At present, based on mass production, the wavelength is 248 nm, the numerical aperture (NA) of the lens is limited to 0.80 or less, and it is estimated that it is very difficult to have a process constant value of 0.30 or less using the above technique.

일반적으로, 해상도는 다음과 같은 레이레이 ( Rayleigh ) 식에 의해 정의된다.In general, the resolution is defined by the following Rayleigh equation.

R = ( k1 × λ ) / NAR = (k1 × λ) / NA

( 단, R 은 해상도, NA 는 렌즈의 개구수, k1 은 공정상수, λ 는 파장 )(Where R is the resolution, NA is the numerical aperture of the lens, k1 is the process constant, and λ is the wavelength)

상기 해상도 R 을 작게 하기 위해서는 상기 NA 를 증가시키거나 k1 또는 λ를 작게 하면 된다.In order to reduce the resolution R, the NA may be increased or k1 or λ may be reduced.

현재 양산공정에 사용하고 있는 KrF 리소그래피 ( lithography )를 기준으로할 때 반도체 제조 공정에 이용 가능한 리소그래피 기술의 행상도 한계, 즉 감광막패턴 간격은 상기 레이레이식에 의해 93 ㎚ 정도이다.Based on the KrF lithography currently used in the mass production process, the limit of the continuity of the lithography technique available for the semiconductor manufacturing process, that is, the photoresist pattern spacing, is about 93 nm by the ray-lay formula.

상기 KrF 레이저를 광원으로 하는 경우의 해상도를 나타내면 다음과 같다.The resolution in the case of using the KrF laser as a light source is as follows.

R = ( k1 × λ ) / NA = ( 0.30 × 248 ㎚ ) / 0.80 = 93 ㎚R = (k1 × λ) / NA = (0.30 × 248 nm) / 0.80 = 93 nm

따라서, 종래기술에서는 감광막 패턴 간격을 88 ㎚ 이하로 작게 형성할 수 없음을 알 수 있다.Therefore, in the prior art, it can be seen that the photosensitive film pattern spacing cannot be made small at 88 nm or less.

상기한 바와 같이 종래기술에 따른 반도체소자의 미세패턴 형성방법은,As described above, the method for forming a fine pattern of a semiconductor device according to the prior art,

광원으로 KrF 레이저를 사용하는 경우 88 ㎚ 이하의 작은 간격 ( space ) 을 갖는 감광막 패턴을 형성할 수 없어 반도체소자의 고집적에 충분한 해상도를 확보할 수 없고 그에 따른 반도체소자의 고집적화를 어렵게 하는 문제점이 있다.In the case of using a KrF laser as a light source, there is a problem in that a photoresist pattern having a small space of 88 nm or less cannot be formed, so that a sufficient resolution for high integration of the semiconductor device cannot be secured, and thus high integration of the semiconductor device is difficult. .

본 발명은 상기한 종래기술의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여, 현상액의 종류에 따라 감광막패턴이 양성 또는 음성으로 형성되는 특성을 이용하여 해상도가 향상된 감광막패턴을 형성함으로써 반도체소자의 미세패턴 형성방법을 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.The present invention provides a method for forming a fine pattern of a semiconductor device by forming a photoresist pattern having improved resolution by using a characteristic that the photoresist pattern is formed positively or negatively according to the type of developer in order to solve the problems of the prior art. The purpose is.
