Description
The present invention relates to a method of forming a photoresist pattern, and more particularly, to a method of forming a photoresist pattern capable of stably forming a photoresist pattern for forming a fine pattern of a semiconductor device.
The patterns of the semiconductor device may be formed by directly patterning patterns of the semiconductor device by etching an etching target layer using a photoresist pattern, or by patterning hard mask patterns used as an etching mask for patterning patterns of the semiconductor device. The photoresist pattern is formed through a photolithography process including an exposure and development process.
Meanwhile, due to the high integration of semiconductor devices, as the patterns of the semiconductor devices become finer, line widths and intervals of photoresist patterns for forming them are reduced. Accordingly, the aspect ratio of the space defined between the photoresist patterns is also increasing.
As the aspect ratio of the space defined between the photoresist patterns increases, a collapse of the photoresist pattern occurs in the process of forming the photoresist pattern.

Referring to FIG. 1, a photoresist film deposition process, an exposure process, a development process, a cleaning process, and a drying process may be sequentially performed to form the

The organic solvent preferably contains at least one of methanol, ethanol, toluene, benzene and ether.
In the step of surface-treating the surface of the photoresist pattern using an organic solvent, an organic solvent layer is formed on the surface of the photoresist pattern.
Before the surface treatment of the surface of the photoresist pattern using an organic solvent, the step of cleaning the semiconductor substrate including the photoresist pattern using a cleaning solution containing DI (Deionized water) solution may be further performed. have.
The present invention not only performs a cleaning step using a surfactant addition solution before the drying step, but also cleans the surface of the photoresist pattern by using an organic solvent before performing the cleaning step using the surfactant addition solution. The surface tension caused by the solution can be reduced. Thus, the present invention can reduce the elastic deformation of the photoresist pattern even if the cleaning solution is removed, it is possible to improve the phenomenon that the photoresist pattern collapses.
