The present invention relates to a cleaning liquid composition, and more particularly, in a contact hole pattern forming process, a cleaning liquid composition for photolithography capable of reducing the size of a contact hole pattern by pattern cleaning and heating after cleaning and a photoresist fine using the same It relates to a pattern forming method.
반도체 디바이스의 소형화 및 집적화에 수반하여, 반도체 디바이스의 제조에 사용되는 레지스트 재료도 이와 같은 소형화 및 집적화에 대응할 수 있도록 개량되어 왔다. 또한, 반도체 고집적도에 따른 미세패턴 구현을 위해서 노광원의 파장이 13.4nm인 극자외선 리소그라피(extreme ultraviolet lithography: EUVL) 기술이 이용되고 있다. 노광원의 파장이 작아짐에 따라, 한계 해상력의 크기가 점차 작아지고 있지만, 궁극적으로 도달하고자 하는 패턴 사이즈에 도달하기에는 기술적인 어려움이 많이 남아 있다.With the miniaturization and integration of semiconductor devices, resist materials used in the manufacture of semiconductor devices have also been improved to cope with such miniaturization and integration. In addition, extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) technology having a wavelength of 13.4 nm as an exposure source is used to realize a fine pattern according to semiconductor high integration. As the wavelength of the exposure source decreases, the magnitude of the limit resolution gradually decreases, but technical difficulties remain in reaching the pattern size ultimately desired to reach.
특히, 노광원의 빛 정보가 적은 다크 필드(dark filed) 영역의 콘택트 홀(Contact Hole) 패턴 해상 시 큰 어려움이 있으며, 이를 극복하기 위해서 여러 가지 패턴 수축(pattern shrink) 기술이 개발되었다.
In particular, there is a great difficulty in resolving a contact hole pattern in a dark filed region where light information of an exposure source is low, and various pattern shrink technologies have been developed to overcome this problem.

The hole aperture size of the pattern was measured in the same manner as in (c), and the results are shown in Tables 1 to 3 below.
상기 결과로부터, 본 발명에 따른 이온성 화합물이 포함되어 있는 세정액 조성물(린스액)로 패턴을 세정 및 세정 후 가열(하드 베이크)할 경우, PTD, NTD 공정에 관계없이 패턴의 홀 크기를 효과적으로 감소시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 또한, 통상적으로, 높은 유리전이온도(Tg)를 갖는 포토레지스트 조성물(감광성 고분자)은 낮은 하드 베이크 온도(150℃ 이하)에서는 콘택트 홀(C/H) 패턴의 홀 크기를 감소(shrink)시키지 못하지만, 본원발명의 세정액 조성물을 사용할 경우, 조성물의 이온성 화합물들이 포토레지스트 패턴 표면에 흡착되고, 포토레지스트 조성물의 유리전이온도(Tg)를 감소시키는 효과를 일으킴으로써, 낮은 하드 베이크 온도(150℃ 이하)에서도 쉽게 콘택트 홀(C/H) 패턴의 홀 크기를 감소(shrink)시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 또한, 상기 결과로부터, 하드 베이크 온도 조절 및 이온성 화합물의 종류 및 양을 조절함으로써, C/H 패턴 감소 정도를 조절할 수 있음을 알 수 있다.From the above results, when the pattern is washed with the cleaning liquid composition (rinse liquid) containing the ionic compound according to the present invention and heated (hard bake), the hole size of the pattern is effectively reduced regardless of the PTD and NTD processes. It can be seen that. Also, photoresist compositions (photosensitive polymers) with high glass transition temperatures (Tg) typically do not shrink the hole size of the contact hole (C / H) pattern at low hard bake temperatures (150 ° C. or less). When the cleaning liquid composition of the present invention is used, the ionic compounds of the composition are adsorbed on the surface of the photoresist pattern and have an effect of reducing the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the photoresist composition, thereby lowering the hard bake temperature (150 ° C. or less). It can be seen that also can easily shrink the hole size of the contact hole (C / H) pattern. In addition, it can be seen from the above results that the degree of C / H pattern reduction can be controlled by controlling the hard bake temperature and adjusting the type and amount of the ionic compound.
