And a method of forming a pattern of a semiconductor element using the polymer. [Prior Art] As the density of semiconductor elements is increased, a photolithography process is required to form a very small photoresist pattern having a line width of less than or equal to 80 nanometers (nm). In a conventional ◎ photolithography process, a photoresist composition containing a photopolymer and a solvent is coated on a substrate such as a germanium wafer to fabricate an integrated circuit, a solvent in the applied photoresist composition. Then, it is baked and volatilized to form a photoresist layer film. Subsequently, the photopolymer layer exposed to the light pattern of the exposure source is exposed to a change in the photopolymer. For example, visible light, ultraviolet (uv) photoelectron beam, xenon-light, etc. can be used as an exposure source. After exposure, the developer is used to selectively dissolve and - remove the exposed photoresist layer to form a photoresist pattern. Various techniques for improving the resolution of photoresist patterns have been developed in the photolithography process. For example, PCT International Publication No. w〇 2〇〇8/122884 and Ep 4 201038595

The polymerity distribution (p〇lydiSpersity, PD) of the polymer of the present invention is preferably from 1.0 to 5.0', more preferably from 1.0 to 2.0. If the weight average molecular weight of the polymer and the degree of polymerization of the polymer exceed the above range, the properties of the coating layer for coating the photoresist pattern are weakened. Since the polymer molecule of the present invention has an amine group, the photoresist pattern is easily adhered to the polymer for coating the layer of the present invention, and the coating does not damage the photoresist pattern. The polymer for coating a photoresist pattern of the present invention can be deprotected by the acid generated by exposure and baking. Moreover, since the deprotection of the acetal group in the polymer molecule and the contrast of the development step are improved, the adhesion between the first photoresist pattern and the polymer is lowered, and the development and migration can be easily performed using deionized water or the like. In addition to the polymer of the present invention for coating a photoresist pattern. The polymer for coating a photoresist pattern of the present invention can be used as a composition dissolved in a solvent. The solvent for coating the composition of the photoresist pattern may be water, preferably deionized water. If necessary, a mixed solvent of water and alcohol can also be used. In the composition for coating the photoresist pattern, the content of the polymer of the formula is 0.5 to 30% by weight, preferably 3 to 1% by weight, and the balance is a solvent. If the polymer content is too small, the polymer layer after the formation of the coating layer is too thin to form a coating layer of a predetermined thickness; if the polymer content is too large, the uniformity of the coating layer is lowered. In the composition for coating a photoresist pattern of the present invention, examples of the alcohol which can be used in combination with water include lower alcohols having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, such as methanol and ethanol, and the alcohol component accounts for 〇 to 5 总体 of the total composition. The weight %, preferably from 1 to 50 by weight, more preferably from 5 to 25% by weight. If the content of the alcohol component is too small, 1 11 201038595 will lower the uniformity of the coating layer; if the content of the alcohol component is too large, the first photoresist pattern may be dissolved, so that the second photoresist pattern cannot be formed. Furthermore, if necessary, the composition for coating a photoresist pattern of the present invention may further comprise a conventional photo acid generator (PAG), a thermal acid generator (TAG), or an organic The base is used as a quencher, a surfactant, and the like. The pag generates an acid component upon irradiation and de-protects the protecting group of the polymer used to coat the photoresist pattern. Any compound that produces an acid component when exposed to light can be used as a PAG. Preferably, an onium salt compound (e.g., an organic sulfonic acid), a phosphonium salt compound (e.g., a phosphonium salt) or a mixture thereof can be used. Non-limiting examples of PAG include phthalimidotrifluoro methane sulfonate, dinitrobenzyl tosylate, n-decyl disulfone, Naphthylimido trifluorome thane sulfonate, diphenyl iodonium hexafluorophosphate, diphenyl iodonium hexafluoroarsenate, hexafluoride Diphenyl iodonium hexafluoroantimonate, diphenyl p-methoxyphenyl sulfonium triflate, triphenylsulfonium hexafluoroantimonate , triphenylsulfonium triflate, dibutylnaphtylsulfonium triflate, and mixtures thereof. If PAG or TAG is used, it is preferably used in an amount of from 0 to 20 parts by weight, more preferably from 0.05 to 20 parts by weight, based on the weight of the polymer 100 parts by weight of 201038595. It is preferably from 0.1 to 10 parts by weight. The amount of S PAG or TAG is too high. The photo-sensitivity of the t-form is reduced, resulting in insufficient deprotection of the protecting group. If the amount of PAG or TAG is too large, the target pAG or TAG generates an excess of acid' so that the coating layer The shape is not good. The surfactant which can be used in the present invention is preferably a water-soluble surfactant, but an anionic surfactant, a cationic surfactant and an amphoteric surfactant can also be used. 〇 For example, an alkylbenzenesulfonate, a higher halogenated amine, a quaternary ammonium salt, a snap salt, an amino acid, a brewed imine, a continuous amine surfactant, or a mixture thereof may be used. The content of the surfactant is based on the weight of the entire composition for coating the photoresist pattern, and the weight of the 里1 to 2 is preferably 〇. If the surfactant content is too small, the uniformity of coating will be reduced; if the surfactant content is too large, the film layer will be lost in a large amount during the process of removing the coating layer by water, and it cannot be effectively formed on the first pattern. Coating layer. Next, please refer to Fig. 2, which illustrates a method for forming a pattern of a semiconductor element. The first photoresist layer 20 is formed on a substrate 1 (e.g., a wafer, aluminum, etc.) (see A of Fig. 2). The first photoresist layer 20 is exposed and developed with the desired image to form a first photoresist pattern 22 (see B of Fig. 2). The composition for coating the first photoresist pattern 22 is coated, followed by volatilization of the solvent in the composition to form a coating layer 3 (see C of Fig. 2).

If necessary, the acid is diffused to the second photoresist pattern 42 by exposing or baking the second photoresist pattern 々a to enhance the hardness of the second photoresist pattern 42. In this case, the second photoresist is preferably a photosensitive photoresist which can change properties under light irradiation. Next, using an alkaline compound (such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, and methyl hydrazide (10%), which has been dissolved in 〇1 to 1% by weight of an alkaline compound, is removed by development. The interface layer 32, and the first photoresist pattern U and the second photoresist pattern 42 remain on the substrate (see G of FIG. 2). Thus, a photoresist pattern having a smaller spacer width than the prior art will be formed.

The properties of the polymer of the interface & 32, the first photoresist pattern 22 and the photoresist pattern of the two photoresist patterns 42 may be changed more differently. This is because the acid diffusion process will be deprotected for coating light. _ the polymer of the case. 22 and the second photoresist pattern 42 are used as a mask and the substrate 1 () is treated by the method of (4), or the property of the open region of the substrate 201038595 is changed to form a semiconductor element pattern.
