Definitions
- the invention relates to a method of providing a microstructure in electric conductors, semiconductors and insulators utilizing a multilayer resist system, to a multilayer resist system having positive and/or negative tone for producing microstructures, and to siliceous polymers suitable therefor.
- Resists with a catalyzed exposure reaction are subtantially purely organochemical polymers.
- a so-called initiator is added to the polymer .
- an irradiated quantum for instance a photon or an electron
- a reactive product for instance a proton
- This so-called chemical amplification has been developed in all sorts of forms.
- the most common variant is the acid-catalyzed exposure reaction in which a H + ion is formed by exposure, subsequently effecting a multiplicity of polymer conversions. Positive as well as negative resists have been realized.
- the initiators have been designed such that the exposure reaction can be effected by photons (deep UV) , electrons or X-ray quanta. All ⁇ these resists are used in a one-layer mask and are not suitable for the ultra-high resolution which can be realized in multilayer approaches.
- Siliceous resist systems are based on the principle that after exposure, silicon is selectively left behind in the top layer of the mask. This may take place in a two-layer configuration, wherein the bottom layer is an organoche ical polymer and the top layer consists of a siliceous polymer, via exposure, the pattern is generated in the top layer.
- this is also possible in a one-layer configuration, wherein, after exposure of a normal organochemical resist sytem, silicon-containing molecules are selectively incorporated into the unexposed surfaces by exposure to suitable vapors or liquids.
- an oxygen plasma follows, with the non-siliceous portions being etched in the plasma and the siliceous portions remaining unaffected with a high lateral precision.
- siliceous resists have been developed on the basis of polysiloxanes which have an excellent etching resistance due to the high silicon content, but which are not very sensitive from a lithographic viewpoint. These resist systems all have a negative tone: what is exposed will remain unaffected after development.
- siliceous polymers have been synthesized wherein the main chain is purely organic and the silicon is incorporated via side chains. These polymers may have an excellent sensitivity, but the etching resistance is insufficient because of the relatively low silicon content. In this class, both positive and negative resists have been realized.
- the imaging function and the actual mask function are separated in two separate layers, with the advantage that a superior resolution is obtained.
- the procedure of a two-layer mask is as follows (se also Fig. l) : after exposure and development of the pattern i the top (image) layer, the pattern is subsequently transferred, via dry-etching in oxygen plasmas, into the bottom mask layer with a lateral precision of ca. 5 nm. After this, the actual pattern transfer into the underlying materia layer can take place in plasmas containing fluorine (F) and/o chlorine (Cl) .
- F fluorine
- Cl chlorine
- the following main characteristics are essential to the top layer: l. High sensitivity and high contrast during the pattern definition; 2. High etching resistance to oxygen plasmas during the pattern transfer.
- the object of the invention is to provide siliceous resist systems for two-layer mask purposes, having:
- a next object is the realization of resists having a positive and/or negative tone, depending on the polarity of the developer. More particularly, the present invention is directed to the lithographic action of new siliceous resist systems for microfabrication. These systems are both resist systems having a positive tone and resist systems having a negative tone or a combination of the two.
- the invention relates to a method of providing a microstructure in electric conductors, semiconductors and insulators utilizing a multilayer resist system, wherein in the image layer a siliceous polymer, comprising chemically unstable side groups, and an initiator are used, which initiator generates, under the influence of radiation, a catalyst which in turn chemically modifies these side groups, the silicon content of this polymer being such that upon treatment with oxygen plasm a closed network of silica is formed on the surface of the polymer.
- the invention relates to a multilayer resist system having positive and/or negative tone for producing microstructures, characterized in that the image layer contains a siliceous polymer comprising chemically unstable side groups, and an initiator, which initiator, under the influence of radiation, generates a catalyst, which in turn modifies these side groups, the silicon content of this polymer being such that upon treatment with oxygen plasma a closed network of silica is formed on the surface of the polymer.
- the invention relates to three groups of new polymers which are suitable for use in the first two aspects of the invention.
- the invention is based on, for instance, the use of the specific polymers in microlithography, one of the essential aspects being that under the influence of a catalyzed exposure reaction, one or more groups are modified chemically in the siliceous polymer, after which, by means of a suitable developer, the exposed or, conversely, the unexposed portion can be removed.
- siliceous polymer Another important aspect of the siliceous polymer is that the silicon content is so high that upon treatment with oxygen plasma, as is also used for etching, a substantially closed network of silica is formed.
- a layer of silica is formed at the surface of the mask.
- a first group consists of the polymers having a SiO main chain, having attachted thereto the , wherein
- a second group also has a SiO-based structure, but in the form of a so-called ladder polymer (formula 13) , wherein R represents a dihydropyrane or a methoxy- dihydropyrane group.
- a third group consists of organochemical copolymers having chemically unstable side groups and siloxane macromers grafted thereon.
- siloxane macromers or siliceous macromers siloxane polymers are meant that can be grafted on the main chain.
- An example thereof is the compound of formula 8 of the formulae sheet, wherein n is an integer indicating the degree of polymerization of the siloxane. The amount of silicon in the polymer is of importance to the properties thereof.
- Suitable monomers containing unstable side groups are the monomers such as the modified styrenes (4-t-butoxy- carbonyloxystyrene, or 4-t-butoxystyrene) , or t-butyl methacrylate, but it is also possible to use, for instance, a monomer containing a glycidyl group, such as glycidyl methacrylate. Examples of suitable combinations of monomers in a polymer of this third group are given in formulae 9-12 and 14 of the formulae sheet.
- the indicated components in the copolymers will be randomly present in the copolymer, v, x and y indicating the molar proportions of each monomer in the copolymer.
- m equals 0 or 1, i.e. the formula relates both to 4-t-butoxycarbonyloxy and to 4-t- butoxystyrene.
- the side chains comprise unstable chemical groups, such as, for instance t-butoxy groups, or t- butoxycarbonyloxy groups or epoxy groups, producing a positiv and/or negative tone on the basis of a catalyzed exposure reaction.
- these chemically unstable side groups can take place in various manners.
- this can for instance be effected through hydrosilylation of a polyhydrosiloxane with a suitable , ⁇ -unsaturated compound, for instance 4-t-butoxycarbonyloxy- styrene, 4-t-butoxystyrene or t-butyl methacrylate.
- a suitable , ⁇ -unsaturated compound for instance 4-t-butoxycarbonyloxy- styrene, 4-t-butoxystyrene or t-butyl methacrylate.
- the addition of this ⁇ , ⁇ -unsaturated compound can take place both via the ⁇ and via the ⁇ carbon, resulting in the two given meanings of the term A in for instance formula 3.
- the chemically unstable group can later be attached to the main chain, or, preferably, a monomer containing the chemically unstable side group can be polymerized into the main chain.
- the side group containing silicon macromer (or siliceous macromonomer) can simultaneously be incorporated as comonomer, but it is also possible to graft the macromer on the main chain later.
- other substantially non-reactive monomers can be incorporated as well to improve the properties of the polymer. Suitable monomers are for instance styrene, cc-methylstyrene, bromostyrene, acrylates, methacrylates and other ⁇ , ⁇ -unsaturated compounds.
- the initiator Another component of the top layer is the initiator. Under the influence of radiation, this initiator should generate a catalyst, which catalyzes a multiplicity of conversions in the polymer. Such catalysts are known per se, for instance for the use in one-layer masks with completely organochemical polymers. According to the invention, preferably an initiator is used generating a catalyst for the acid-catalyzed chemical amplification. Examples of such initiators are sulfonium salts or iodonium salts.

Abstract
Procédé de production de microstructures pour conducteurs électriques, semi-conducteurs et isolants utilisant un système de résist multicouche. Dans la couche représentée, on utilise un polymère siliceux comportant des groupes latéraux à instabilité chimique et un excitant produisant, sous l'action d'un rayonnement, un catalyseur pouvant à son tour modifier chimiquement ces groupes latéraux. La teneur en silicium dudit polymère est telle que lors d'un traitement au plasma d'oxygène, un réseau fermé de silice se forme à la surface du polymère. On a également prévu un système de résist multicouche à comportement de positif et/ou de négatif pour la production de microstructures, et des polymères siliceux utilisables à cette fin.
