Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of drying a polymeric film. More particularly, the present invention relates to the field of drying photoresist, without pattern collapse or deformation, using a solvent bath and supercritical carbon dioxide.
- Fabrication of integrated circuits includes the formation of patterned layers on a semiconductor wafer that form electrically active regions in and on the wafer surface.
- a masking process referred to as photolithography or photomasking is used to transfer a pattern onto the wafer.
- Masking involves applying a photoreactive polymer or photoresist onto the wafer by any suitable means such as by spinning of the wafer to distribute liquid photoresist uniformly on its surface. In a typical semiconductor manufacturing process, several iterations of the masking process are employed. Layers of either positive or negative photoresist can be used in various combinations on the same wafer.
- the wafer is heated or "soft baked” such as on a hot plate to improve adhesion of the photoresist to the substrate surface.
- a photo aligner aligns the wafer to the photomask and then portions of the photoresist coated wafer are exposed to high-energy light so that a pattern is formed as a latent image in the photoresist layer.
- a developing agent is then applied to develop the portions of the photoresist which were exposed.
- positive resist is used, the developed portions of the resist are solubilized by the exposure to high- energy light.
- negative resist the undeveloped portions of the resist are solubilized. Washing and rinsing steps are carried out that selectively remove the solubilized photoresist.
- a drying step is carried out.
- the collapse of high-aspect-ratio photoresist structures is related to the surface tension of the rinse solution (capillary forces scale with the surface tension of the rinse solution) and is a function of both the density (spacing) and aspect ratio of resist lines. This becomes an increasingly serious problem as device feature sizes continue to shrink while relative vertical height increases to accommodate more complex interconnect structures.
- collapse of photoresist structures is a generic term that refers to the deformation (bending), fracture, and/or peeling of resist from the substrate, in response to capillary forces present during the drying stage of a lithographic process.
- D. Goldfarb et. al Aqueous-Based Photoresist Drying Using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide to Prevent Pattern Collapse, J. Vacuum Sci.
- Supercritical fluids are characterized by high solvating and solubilizing properties that are typically associated with compositions in the liquid state. Supercritical fluids also have a low viscosity that is characteristic of compositions in the gaseous state.
- the conventional supercritical fluid drying methods commonly employ alcohol, e.g., ethanol, for rinsing.
- the ethanol rinse liquid can be directly replaced with carbon dioxide (CO 2 ).
- CO 2 carbon dioxide
- a strategy of using conventional supercritical fluid drying methods to dry resist patterns would have to overcome the additional problem of water contamination.
- resist systems are designed to employ aqueous-based developers and, for some resist systems, water is used for rinsing, for example, after development in an aqueous solution of tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide (TMAH).
- TMAH tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide
- polar organic compounds such as ethanol employed in conventional supercritical drying can not be used to dry water-rinsed resists because they dissolve the resist.
- water is used for rinsing, e.g., for resists developed in an aqueous solution of TMAH
- the presence of moisture in the atmosphere can not be avoided. This presents a serious problem because moisture in the atmosphere can cause acrylate-type resist to swell and pattern deformation can occur.
- the impetus for the recent explorations of supercritical fluid to dry resist patterns is the philosophy that pattern collapse can be minimized by reducing the surface tension of the rinse solution. It is commonly known that one of the mechanisms of pattern collapse is the presence of capillary forces. Moreover, it is known that capillary forces scale with the surface tension of the rinse solution.
- decreases in the surface tension relate to decreases in the capillary force acting on the resist walls.
- n- hexane a solution of n- hexane, a CO 2 -philic liquid (in terms of their solubility in CO 2 , polymers have been classified as CO 2 -philic and CO 2 -phobic) and a surfactant, sorbitan fatty acid ether, first replaces the water and, in turn, is replaced with liquid CO 2 before supercritical resist drying (SRD) is performed.
- SRD supercritical resist drying
- the water is replaced directly with the liquid CO 2 containing a surfactant, fluoroether carboxylate, which makes water miscible in CO 2 , and then SRD is performed.
- a surfactant fluoroether carboxylate
- SRD SRD is performed.
- One disadvantage of the supercritical resist drying methods set forth in Namatsu is that their effectiveness is based on the use of a surfactant to enable rinse water to be replaced with CO 2 before the drying step is carried out, resulting in additional chemicals other than CO 2 needed for the process.
- Certain surfactants can dissolve the resist patterns, while various other surfactants can result in the formation of a haze on the surface of the photoresist.
- a first embodiment of the present invention is for a method of drying an object, having a polymeric film, wherein the object is submerged in a rinse liquid.
- the object is removed from the rinse liquid and the object is placed in a solvent bath before a sufficient amount of the rinse liquid can evaporate from the object.
- the density of a solvent in the solvent bath depends on a direction of orientation of the polymeric film with respect to a force (e.g., force of gravity or centripetal force).
- the object is removed from the solvent bath.

- the methods and apparatus in accordance with the present invention utilize the low viscosity and high solvating and solubilizing properties of supercritical carbon dioxide to assist in the cleaning process.
- carbon dioxide should be understood to refer to carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) employed as a fluid in a liquid, gaseous or supercritical (including near- supercritical) state.
- “Liquid carbon dioxide” refers to CO 2 at vapor-liquid equilibrium conditions. If liquid CO 2 is used, the temperature employed is preferably below 31.1 ° C.
- Supercritical carbon dioxide refers herein to CO 2 at conditions above the critical temperature (31.1° C) and critical pressure (1070.4 psi). When CO 2 is subjected to temperatures and pressures above 31° C and 1070.4 psi, respectively, it is determined to be in the supercritical state. "Near-supercritical carbon dioxide” refers to CO 2 within about 85% of absolute critical temperature and critical pressure.
