Definitions
- the present invention is directed to a photomask used in the manufacture of a semiconductor integrated circuit or a liquid crystal display device, and a manufacturing method thereof.
- chromium-based materials are generally used as the light-shielding film in view of the processability of high-precision patterns.
- Examples of such a photomask include a system LSI in which a memory and a logic circuit are mounted in a mixed manner, a D-RAM or a liquid crystal in which a memory cell or a pixel region and a peripheral circuit formed in a periphery thereof are mounted in a mixed manner.
- Examples include photomasks that have a difference in density and that have three turns, which are used in the manufacture of display devices. You. In this photomask, for example, the aperture ratio of the light shielding pattern (the ratio of the portion where the light shielding film is not formed) differs between the memory region and the logic circuit region.
- a desired resist pattern is first created on a chromium-based light-shielding film, and using this resist pattern as a mask, a mixed gas of Shiodin-based and Aqin-based is used.
- the chrome-based light-shielding film is patterned by dry etching mainly using radicals. For example, if a resist pattern having the same dimension is formed in each region having a difference in aperture ratio of the light-shielding pattern and a chromium-based light-shielding film pattern having the same dimension is to be formed, a resist having the same dimension is formed.
- Each light-shielding pattern formed by dry etching using the pattern as a mask exhibits different dimensions due to a difference in the aperture ratio of each region due to a so-called loading effect, and causes a problem that a variation in CD accuracy occurs.
- the loading effect is a phenomenon in which the etching characteristics (etching rate, selectivity, etc.) change depending on the size of the etching area of the film to be etched, and as a result, the CD shift amount in the mask surface changes (for example, , Super LSI General Encyclopedia (Science Forum), page 865). More specifically, as the etching area increases, the etch rate decreases because the etchant utilization efficiency decreases (for example, see submicron lithography “General Technical Data”, p. 353). .
- the pattern at etching is improved by improving the imbalance of the aperture ratio between the pattern peripheral area and the pattern center.
- a method that does not lower the accuracy for example, refer to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-183809). That is, this method is a method in which a peripheral aperture ratio adjustment pattern is provided in a non-irradiation area where light from a light source is not irradiated in an exposure step using a photomask.
- a dummy etching pattern for dry etching rate correction is arranged in the 1S // ⁇ pattern region or outside the pattern exposure region for fabricating a shift mask.
- phase shift masks in addition to a light-shielding film pattern formed on a transparent substrate called a pinary mask, which has been used for a long time.
- Phase shift masks have a phase shift mask on the mask. By shifting the phase of light passing through a part of the phase shifter and the part adjacent to it by 180 °, mutual interference of light occurs at the boundary, thereby improving the contrast of the transferred image. is there.
- Examples of the type of the phase shift mask include a Levenson type, a halftone type, and a chromeless type.
- the phase shifter layer in the Levenson-type phase shift mask is usually formed by digging glass, or is formed of a film made of a material that shifts the phase. And a translucent phase shift material layer.
- a light-shielding band is required to prevent exposure light from leaking to the periphery of the pattern area.
- a chrome-based light-shielding film is usually used.
- a blank having a light-shielding film formed on a phase-shifting material layer is usually used.
- the phase-shifting material layer is etched using the light-shielding film pattern as an etching mask for the phase shift layer. It is manufactured by removing the light shielding film while leaving the light shielding film.
- JP-B 6 3 - The 3 9 8 9 2 discloses, the use of a hard mask in, however, a has been described to improve the CD accuracy, in a situation where ⁇ reduction and ⁇ difference Pas evening over emissions as described above proceeds to suppress the loading effect, and a high CD accuracy It is not enough to simply use a hard mask to achieve it, and further technical improvements are needed.
- the chromium-based light-shielding film has a predetermined light-shielding property (for example, OD (Optical density of 3.0 or more) is required, so there is a limit to thinning the light-shielding film, and as a result, there is a limit to the thinning of the resist, so there is a limit to the improvement in CD accuracy. .
- OD Optical density of 3.0 or more
- phase shift masks are more effective for miniaturizing patterns in semiconductor devices than binary masks.
- the pattern is further miniaturized, stricter dimensional accuracy of the phase shift material layer is required.
- the surface of the chromium-based light-shielding film is damaged during the etching of the phase shift material layer, and the particles generated thereby affect the etching of the phase shift material layer.
- theta had narrowed the width of selection of etching conditions
- the present invention has been made to solve the above problems. That is, the first object of the present invention is to have a global aperture ratio difference The problem is the variation in CD accuracy due to the flashing effect.) To provide a method that can suppress the pitting effect and obtain high CD accuracy when etching a high-precision pattern on a photomask by dry etching. Further, the second object of the present invention is to have a global difference in mouth opening rate in the mask surface (a variation in CD accuracy due to the loading effect becomes a problem). It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of manufacturing a photomask capable of forming a pattern having high CD accuracy, and a photomask plank used for the method.
- a third object of the present invention is to provide a halftone type phase shift mask and a chromeless type phase shift mask having a phase shift layer having a global aperture ratio difference (variation in CD accuracy due to the loading effect becomes a problem).
- An object of the present invention is to provide a method capable of suppressing a loading effect and obtaining high CD accuracy when etching a light-shielding film as an etching mask layer in the production of a semiconductor device. Disclosure of the invention

- a chromeless phase shift mask was manufactured by digging a substrate further using the light-shielding chromium film pattern as a mask from the state before the inorganic etching mask in the first comparative example was removed.
- the substrate was etched to a depth of 180 nm at which the phase difference was approximately 180 °.
- This etching as a dry etching gas, a mixed gas of CF 4 and 0 2, was carried out under conditions of pressure 0. 6 8 P a. At this time, roughness was confirmed on the surface of the digged portion of the substrate due to the influence of dust generated from damage to the light-shielding chromium pattern due to dry etching of the substrate.
- the light-shielding chromium pattern is peeled off so that at least the light-shielding chromium film around the transfer area remains (in consideration of the exposure step using a photomask on the transfer pattern area, the light-shielding chromium pattern should be left in a portion where it is better to keep it).
- predetermined cleaning was performed to obtain a chromeless type phase shift mask.
- the CD characteristics were remarkably inferior to those of the fifth embodiment.
- a mixed gas of SF 6 and He was used in dry etching mainly composed of ions, but by setting appropriate dry etching conditions, CF 4 C 2 F 6 , CHF 3 or the like of the gas or 3 ⁇ 4 these and H e, H 23 ⁇ 4 N 2, a r, even with C 2 H 4, 0 2, etc. mixed gas, the same effect can be obtained.
- the inorganic etching mask film 0 S i N-based materials were used, but Mo alone, MoS i, MoS iO, MoS
- a pattern having a large aperture ratio difference in the mask plane (variation in CD accuracy due to a loading effect becomes a problem) and having a high CD accuracy (over the entire mask) regardless of the region can be formed.
- the present invention has a phase shift layer having a global aperture ratio difference (a variation in CD accuracy due to a loading effect is a problem).
- a phase shift layer having a global aperture ratio difference a variation in CD accuracy due to a loading effect is a problem.
- the loading effect can be suppressed, and high CD accuracy can be obtained.
