Description
본 발명은 리소그래픽 공정에 유용한 반사방지막 특성을 갖는 하드마스크 조성물에 관한 것으로, 자외선 파장 영역에서 강한 흡수를 갖는 글리시딜에테르 기능기를 가지는 아릴 화합물로 이루어지는 구조 단위를 포함하는 방향족 공중합체 및 이를 포함하는 것을 특징으로 하는 하드마스크 조성물에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a hard mask composition having antireflection properties useful in lithographic processes, and includes an aromatic copolymer comprising a structural unit made of an aryl compound having a glycidyl ether functional group with strong absorption in the ultraviolet wavelength range, and the same. It relates to a hardmask composition characterized in that:
최근 반도체 산업은 점점 미세화 공정이 요구되면서 이러한 초미세 기술을 실현하기 위해서는 효과적인 리소그래픽 공정이 필수적이다. 특히 에칭 과정에 있어서 매우 필수적인 하드마스크 공정에 대한 새로운 재료에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있는 실정이다.Recently, as the semiconductor industry has increasingly required miniaturization processes, an effective lithographic process is essential to realize such ultra-fine technologies. In particular, the demand for new materials for the hard mask process, which is very essential in the etching process, is increasing.
일반적으로, 하드마스크 막질은 선택적 식각 과정을 통하여 포토레지스트의 미세 패턴을 하부 기판 층으로 전사해주는 중간막으로서 역할을 한다. 따라서 하드마스크 층은 다중 식각 과정 동안 견딜 수 있도록 내화학성, 내열성 및 식각 저항성 등의 특성이 요구된다. 기존에 사용되는 하드마스크 막질은 화학기상증착(CVD) 방식으로 만들어지는 ACL(amorphous carbon layer) 막질을 사용하고 있었는데, 이것에 대한 단점으로 높은 단가의 설비투자 및 공정 시 발생하는 particle, 막질 불투명으로 인한 photo align 문제 등으로 인해 사용하기에 매우 불편한 점이 많았다. In general, the hard mask film serves as an intermediate film that transfers the fine pattern of the photoresist to the lower substrate layer through a selective etching process. Therefore, the hardmask layer requires properties such as chemical resistance, heat resistance, and etching resistance to withstand multiple etching processes. The existing hard mask film used was an ACL (amorphous carbon layer) film made by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The disadvantages of this were high equipment investment, particles generated during the process, and opacity of the film. There were many inconveniences in using it due to problems with photo alignment.
최근에, 이러한 화학기상증착 방법 대신 스핀-온 코팅(spin on coating) 방법으로 형성하는 하드마스크 방식(spin-on hardmask)이 도입되었다. 스핀-온 코팅 방법은 용매에 대한 용해성을 가지는 유기 고분자 물질을 이용하여 하드마스크 조성물을 형성하는데, 이때 가장 중요한 특성이 에칭 내성을 동시에 가지는 유기 고분자 코팅막을 형성해야 하는 점이다.Recently, a spin-on hardmask method formed by a spin-on coating method was introduced instead of this chemical vapor deposition method. The spin-on coating method forms a hard mask composition using an organic polymer material that is soluble in a solvent, and the most important characteristic at this time is the formation of an organic polymer coating film that simultaneously has etching resistance.
그러나, 이러한 유기 하드마스크 층에 요구되는 두가지 특성인 용해성과 에칭 내성에 대한 특성은 서로 상충 관계에 있어서 이들을 모두 만족할 수 있는 하드마스크 조성물이 필요하였다. 이러한 유기 하드마스크 재료의 특성을 만족시키면서 반도체 리소그래픽 공정에 도입한 재료들이 최근에 소개(공개특허 10-2009-0120827, 공개특허 10-2008-0107210, 특허 WO 2013100365 A1) 되었는데, 이것은 히드록시파이렌(hydroxypyrene)를 이용하여 기존의 페놀수지 제조법으로 합성된 적절한 고분자 분자량을 가지는 공중합체를 이용한 하드마스크 재료들이었다. However, the two properties required for such an organic hard mask layer, solubility and etching resistance, are in conflict with each other, so a hard mask composition that can satisfy both was needed. Materials that satisfy the characteristics of these organic hard mask materials and have been introduced into the semiconductor lithographic process have recently been introduced (Patent Publication No. 10-2009-0120827, Patent Publication No. 10-2008-0107210, Patent WO 2013100365 A1), which is hydroxyphi. These were hard mask materials using a copolymer with an appropriate high molecular weight synthesized using a conventional phenol resin manufacturing method using hydroxypyrene.
그러나, 최근 반도체 리소그래픽 공정이 더욱 더 미세화 과정을 거치면서 이러한 유기 하드마스크 재료의 경우에 기존의 무기 하드마스크 재료에 비해 에칭 공정에서의 에칭 선택비 부족에 따른 마스크 역할을 충분히 수행하기 어려운 단계에 이르게 되었다. 따라서, 에칭 공정에 보다 최적화된 유기 하드마스크 재료의 도입이 절실하게 필요하게 되었다.However, as the semiconductor lithographic process has recently gone through a process of further miniaturization, it has become difficult for these organic hard mask materials to sufficiently perform the role of a mask due to the lack of etching selectivity in the etching process compared to existing inorganic hard mask materials. It has arrived. Therefore, there is an urgent need to introduce organic hardmask materials that are more optimized for the etching process.
본 발명은 에칭 공정에 보다 최적화된 유기 하드마스크 재료를 개발하기 위하여 새로운 형태의 반사방지용 하드마스크 조성물을 제공하는 것을 목적으로 한다.The purpose of the present invention is to provide a new type of anti-reflective hardmask composition in order to develop an organic hardmask material more optimized for the etching process.

하드마스크 조성물 제조Hardmask composition preparation
실시예 1~9 및 비교실시예에서 만들어진 고분자 1g을 프로필렌글리콜 모노메틸에테르 아세테이트(PGMEA) 7g, 시클로헥산논 (cyclohexanone) 2g에 넣어서 완전히 녹인 후, 0.2um 멜브레인 필터를 이용해 여과하여 각각 실시예 1~9 및 비교실시예 샘플 용액을 만들었다.1 g of the polymer prepared in Examples 1 to 9 and Comparative Examples was completely dissolved in 7 g of propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA) and 2 g of cyclohexanone, and then filtered using a 0.2 um Melbrane filter to obtain the respective Examples. 1 to 9 and Comparative Example sample solutions were prepared.
실시예 1~9, 비교실시예에 의해 제조된 샘플 용액을 각각 실리콘웨이퍼에 스핀 코팅하여 90초간 400℃에서 구워서 두께 3000Å의 필름을 형성시켰다.The sample solutions prepared in Examples 1 to 9 and Comparative Example were each spin-coated on a silicon wafer and baked at 400°C for 90 seconds to form a film with a thickness of 3000Å.
이때 형성된 필름들에 대한 굴절률(refractive index) n과 흡광계수(extinction coefficient) k를 각각 구하였다. 사용기기는 Ellipsometer(J. A. Woollam사)이고 그 측정결과를 표 1에 나타내었다.At this time, the refractive index n and extinction coefficient k of the formed films were respectively calculated. The device used was an ellipsometer (J. A. Woollam), and the measurement results are shown in Table 1.
평가결과, ArF(193nm) 및 KrF(248nm) 파장에서 반사방지막으로서 사용 가능한 굴절율 및 흡수도가 있음을 확인하였다. 통상적으로 반도체 반사방지막으로 사용되는 재료의 굴절율 범위는 1.4~1.8 정도이며, 중요한 것이 흡광계수이고, 흡수도가 클수록 좋으나, 통상 k 수치가 0.3 이상이면 반사방지막으로 사용하는데 문제가 없기 때문에 본 발명의 실시예들에 따른 하드마스크 조성물은 반사방지막으로 사용할 수 있음을 알 수 있다. As a result of the evaluation, it was confirmed that there was a refractive index and absorption that could be used as an antireflection film at ArF (193 nm) and KrF (248 nm) wavelengths. Typically, the refractive index of the material used as a semiconductor anti-reflection film ranges from 1.4 to 1.8, and the important thing is the extinction coefficient, and the higher the absorption, the better. However, if the k value is 0.3 or more, there is no problem in using it as an anti-reflection film, so the material of the present invention It can be seen that the hard mask composition according to the examples can be used as an anti-reflection film.

반사방지 하드마스크 조성물에 대한 에칭 특성 평가Evaluation of etching properties of anti-reflective hardmask compositions
실시예 1~9 및 비교실시예에 따른 하드마스크 조성물(10중량%)을 400도 온도에서 90초간 열처리하여 박막을 형성한 후, 각각 N2/O2 혼합가스(50mT/ 300W/ 10 O2/ 50 N2 조건) 및 CFx 가스(100mT/ 600W / 42 CF4 / 600 Ar / 15 O2 조건)를 사용하여 60초 동안 건식 식각한 후 박막의 두께를 에칭 전/후로 측정하였다. 박막의 두께 변화를 에칭 시간으로 나누어 각각의 에치 속도(/s)를 계산하였다. 그 결과는 아래와 표 3과 같다. The hard mask composition (10% by weight) according to Examples 1 to 9 and Comparative Examples was heat-treated at 400 degrees for 90 seconds to form a thin film, and then heated with N2/O2 mixed gas (50mT/ 300W/ 10 O2/ 50 N2). After dry etching for 60 seconds using CFx gas (100mT/ 600W / 42 CF4 / 600 Ar / 15 O2 conditions), the thickness of the thin film was measured before and after etching. Each etch rate (/s) was calculated by dividing the change in thickness of the thin film by the etching time. The results are shown in Table 3 below.
표 3에서 보듯이, 상기 실시예에서 형성된 박막은 비교 실시예로 형성된 박막에 비해 매우 우수한 식각 내성을 나타내 주고 있으며, 이러한 벌크 에치 특성을 바탕으로 상기 실시예에서 조성된 하드마스크 조성물이 리소그라피 패턴 형성에 매우 우수한 반사방지용 하드마스크 역할을 할 수 있을 거라고 예상된다.As shown in Table 3, the thin film formed in the above example shows very excellent etch resistance compared to the thin film formed in the comparative example, and based on these bulk etch characteristics, the hardmask composition formed in the above example can form a lithography pattern. It is expected that it can serve as an excellent anti-reflection hard mask.
