Description
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, and more particularly, to a method for forming a fine pattern of a semiconductor device.
Lithography process of semiconductor manufacturing technology has been recognized as the technology that directly affects the miniaturization of semiconductor devices. The miniaturization of semiconductor devices is because the number of devices that can be processed simultaneously on one wafer is directly related to productivity, that is, the cost competitiveness of each device due to the characteristics of the semiconductor process being processed on a wafer basis.
Since the resolution obtained using the KrF and ArF exposure equipment currently commercially available is limited to about 0.1 μm, attempts to manufacture highly integrated semiconductor devices by forming patterns having smaller sizes are continuing. As one of methods for forming a fine pattern, there is a method of reducing the spacing between patterns by using a resolution enhancement lithography assisted by chemical shrink (RELACS) material. Specifically, when a photoresist pattern is formed by performing an exposure and development process on a semiconductor substrate, and then a RELACS material is coated on the entire surface of the photoresist pattern and a heating process is performed, a crosslinking reaction between the RELACS material and the photoresist pattern occurs and finally The spacing between the patterns is reduced by the obtained pattern, thereby reducing the size of the contact hole.
Meanwhile, various techniques for forming an ultrafine pattern by overcoming the limitation of photolithography equipment have been proposed, one of which is a patterning technique using a spacer. In the patterning technique using a spacer, a thickness of a spacer is formed by forming a material film pattern having a predetermined size on the etching target film, forming a spacer around the material film pattern, and then etching the lower etching target film using the spacer as an etching mask. It is a method to form a fine pattern to such an extent. When the pattern is formed using the spacer patterning technique, the line / space pattern is first formed, and then the end of the line is cut using a contact hole mask. However, when using a contact hole mask, voids occur because the photoresist does not fill well between the lines, and the voids make it difficult to realize a desired pattern because the photoresist film does not function properly as a barrier during the etching process. Occurs.
An object of the present invention is to provide a method of forming a pattern of a semiconductor device capable of effectively forming a fine pattern by filling voids between line / space patterns without voids.
Another technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to provide a pattern forming method of a semiconductor device that can effectively form a fine pattern by filling voids between line / space type patterns when forming a fine pattern using a spacer. have.

The forming of the mask layer may include applying a RELACS material layer on the semiconductor substrate on which the first pattern is formed, performing a heat treatment on the RELACS material layer, and a predetermined thickness of the heat treated RELACS material layer. It may include the step of removing.
