Abstract
A method of patterning a first resist layer (10') according to a pattern formed in a patterned second resist layer (14') formed thereon. A first resist material (10) is first at least partially pyrolyzed so as to form a hard mask resist layer (10'). A surface of the first resist layer (10') then generally functionalized with a silicon-containing group, such as by way of silylation, so as to define a silicon-containing surface layer (12). The first resist layer (10') (including silylated surface layer 12) is then, for example, dry developed according to the pattern formed in the second resist layer to form a corresponding pattern in the hard mask layer (10'). The patterned second resist layer (14') may be, for example, about 80 nm to about 100 nm thick.
Description
METHOD OF MULTI - LAYER LI THOGRAPHY
Field of t he i nvention :
The present invention relates to a lithography method using a multi-layer
resist ("MLR') in a semiconductor device.
Backgrou nd of t he i nvention :
A general problem in the fabrication of semiconductor devices is maintaining
etch resolution as feature sizes progressively decrease.
A basic conventional approach is to pattern a single-layer resist to form an
etch mask (not illustrated). I n general, a single resist layer is formed on an
underlying substrate. A pattern is formed in the resist layer by selectively exposing
the layer in correspondence with the desired pattern (such as by way of illumination
through a mask). The exposed resist layer is then developed so that (depending on
the resist material being used) the exposed parts of the resist are either hardened
and left in place during development or are made soluble and are removed during
developing. The patterned resist is thus used as a mask for etching a desired
pattern thereunder according to known practice. The resist layer in this case is
generally relatively thick, which requires more processing and limits the resolution of
an obtainable pattern.
Figure 1 comparatively illustrates some additional conventional resist
patterning approaches (a) - (d), plus an example sequence of steps (5000) in
accordance with an embodiment of the present invention at (e). As can be seen in
Figure 1 , the various methods illustrated use some combination of exposure (plus
post-etch bake), a wet develop step, a silylation (for generally, functionalizing with
silicon) step, and a dry develop step (such as plasma treatment). The illustrated
processes are to be considered in sequence from top to bottom, using whichever
steps are applicable thereto, as described hereinbelow.
Top surface imaging ("TSI") 1000 is a known alternative approach (illustrated
at sequence (a)) to using a single layer resist as described above. I n TSI , an organic
resist 100 layer is deposited on a substrate 102 and is selectively exposed (as
represented by 104) according to a desired pattern. Before developing the resist
layer 100, a silicon-containing solvent is applied (108) to the surface of the exposed
resist layer 100, which reacts preferentially with the several exposed portions 100' of
the resist layer so that only the exposed areas 100" become silicon-containing (e.g.,
silylated). The silylated portions 100" then act as a mask in a dry plasma (e.g.,
oxygen plasma) developing step 1 10 to leave a patterned resist 100'" remaining.
More particularly, the silicon-containing areas 100" are selectively reacted or
"oxidized" during the plasma development step 110 so as to form etch barriers that
protect the underlying resist and substrate thereunder and leave a pattern in resist
layer 100. However, the TSI process has been shown to have a limited resolution.
A bi-layer resist ("BLR') patterning process 2000 is also generally known and
is generally illustrated at (b) in Figure 1. I n the BLR process, a first resist layer 200
(made from, for example, a cross-linked polymer/resist, or a CVD-deposited
amorphous carbon) is formed on a substrate 202, followed by a relatively thin silicon-
containing resist layer 204. Resist layer 204 contains, for example, about 2%-6% by
atomic weight of silicon. The thin silicon-containing resist layer 204 is then exposed
206 and wet developed 208 to obtain patterned thin resist layer 204'. Thereafter,
the first resist layer 200 is dry developed (210) (such as by plasma using anisotropic
oxygen reactive ion etching) in accordance with the pattern formed in patterned thin
resist layer 204' to obtain a patterned first resist layer 200'. As in TSI , the patterned
silicon-containing thin resist layer 204' helps protect the protected parts of the first
resist layer from being etched in the dry develop step 210.
BLR patterning has several limitations, such as unwanted chemical interaction
between the thin silicon-containing resist layer and the underlying cross-linked
polymer/ resist 200, when the latter is used. This significantly limits process
capabilities and increases process complexity, while overall limiting the obtainable
patterning resolution.
If CVD-deposited amorphous carbon is instead used in the conventional BLR
approach, processing suffers because CVD is a relatively expensive and slow process,
requiring separate particular process equipment. This reduces production
throughput. I n addition, CVD processes use relatively high temperatures (for
example, 400°C to 500°C), which can damage circuit elements elsewhere on the chip
structure. Although it could be useful to try to reduce the temperature of the CVD
process to address this issue, doing so reduces the quality of the deposited layers.
Another known process is chemical amplification of resist lines ("CARL") 3000,
as generally illustrated at (c) in Figure 1. I n CARL, a thin imaging layer 304 is coated
on top of, for example, a cross-linked underlayer 300, which is in turn formed on a
substrate 302. Here, however, the imaging layer 304 does not contain silicon.
The imaging layer 304 is exposed 306 and wet-developed 308 using
conventional aqueous basic developers to obtain a patterned imaging layer 304'.
The patterned imaging layer 304' is then silylated (310), (for example, by way of a
solution of a bifunctional, oligomeric aminosiloxane). This creates a crosslinked,
silicon-rich etch barrier 304". The image is then transferred down through the
underlayer 300 using oxygen RI E dry developing 312 to obtain a patterned
underlayer 300'.
Multi-layer resist ("MLR') resist patterning 4000 is somewhat similar to BLR
patterning 2000, but includes an additional inorganic layer 405 deposited separately
between a first resist layer 400 and a second resist layer 404. This thin inorganic
layer 405 acts as a hard mask during the etch pattern transfer step. This hard mask
layer 405 can be a silicon-containing, spin-coated or CVD oxide film. The second
resist layer 404 is typically an organic film.
Second resist layer 404 is exposed (406) and then wet developed (408) to
obtain a patterned second resist layer 404', leaving parts of mask layer 405 exposed.
During a dry develop step 410, the exposed parts of transfer layer 405 are etched
away, as are the corresponding portions of first resist layer 400 thereunder, but the
unexposed parts of transfer layer 405 serve as an etch stop barrier. Therefore, a
patterned first resist layer 400' is obtained. (The remaining parts of patterned
second resist layer 404' are removed in a conventional process, not shown.)
A disadvantage to the MLR approach is the complexity that arises from the
need for three separate layers 400, 404, 405 and the requirement to integrate the
processing steps for good imaging and pattern transfer. Also, the transfer layer 405
is still relatively thick, and is susceptible to deposition defects.
Su m m ary of t he i nvention :
The present invention provides a method as described in the accompanying
claims.
Brief description of t he draw ings:
Figures 1 (a) to 1 (d) illustrate certain resist patterning techniques known in the
art; and
Figures 1 (e) and 2(a) to 2(f) illustrate several steps of a resist patterning
technique according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Detai led description of the preferred em bodi ments:
Figures 1 (e) and 2(a) to 2(f) illustrate several steps in a method of patterning
a multi-layer resist according to an embodiment of the present invention. Each
illustrated step is to be understood to be a fragmentary cross-sectional view of the
structure in question.
I n general, Figure 1 (e) corresponds to Figures 2(d), 2(e), and 2(f). Figure
1 (e) provides a relative comparison to conventional TSI , BLR, CARL, and MLR
approaches, as illustrated in Figures 1 (a)-1 (d) and discussed above.
I n Figure 2(a), a first resist layer 10 is formed on an underlying substrate 20.
The first resist layer preferably acts as an anti-reflective (i.e., optically absorbent)
coating. An example of an appropriate material for the first resist layer 10 is a
Novolac resin, applied (for example, by a spin-on process) to form a layer about 200
nm thick.
At Figure 2(b), the first resist layer 10 is at least partially pyrolyzed (for
example, at a temperature of about 120°C to about 250°C, for about 2 minutes to
about 10 minutes), using a UV light and/or a thermal treatment) to form a hard
mask layer 10'. The use of UV light treatment in this regard may be desirable
because it reduces processes time.
For simplicity, reference will be made herein to first resist layer 10'. After
expected shrinkage of the first resist layer 10 during pyrolysis, the first resist layer
10' is, for example, about 140-150 nm thick.
Next, at Figure 2(c), the entire surface of the first resist layer 10' is
functionalized with a silicon-containing group to obtain a silicon-functionalized
pattern transfer layer 12.
For example, hexamethyldisilizane (HMDS) vapor or liquid can be applied
followed by a thermal treatment step, in a conventional manner, to carry out
silylation of a surface of first resist layer 10' and thereby form pattern transfer layer
12. Other means of silicon-functionalizing in accordance with the present invention,
for example and without limitation, applying other silicon containing substances by
appropriate means other than HMDS, such as silicon containing organic acids and the
like. However, for convenience of description, without being limitative as to other
forms of silicon-functionalizing, reference is made hereinafter to a silylated layer 12.
The silylation of the surface of the hard mask layer 10' is in contrast to, for
example, TSI in which only exposed parts of a resist layer are silylated (see, for
example, regions 100" in Figure 1 (a)). I n comparison, the silylation step of the
present invention is simple because it is generally applied to an entire surface of first
resist layer 10', and does not require comparable precision so as to be limited to a
given pattern. I n addition, silylation can be implemented on the same resist process
tool used for forming first resist layer 10' and may even be implemented using the
same sequence (coat, develop, etc.). Furthermore, silylation permits a much thinner
and better quality layer than, for example, depositing a separate layer, like in the
conventional MLR (4000) discussed hereinabove.
The silylation illustrated in Figure 2(c) forms a silylation layer 12 at the surface
of the first resist layer 10'. Silylation layer 12 is, for example, about 10-20 nm thick.
As in TSI , the silylation layer 12 has a very high etch selectivity (on the order of
about 80: 1 ) in a subsequent dry develop step.
I n Figure 2(d), a thin second resist layer 14 is formed on silylation layer 12
and is then exposed (indicated at 16 in Figure 1 (e)) according to a desired pattern.
The second resist layer 14 is, for example, about 80-100 nm thick. The second resist
layer 14 is then, for example, wet developed (indicated at 18 in Figure 1 (e)) in a
conventional manner (as illustrated at Figure 2(e)) in order to obtain a patterned
resist layer 14'.
Finally, portions of the silylated layer 12 (which acts as a pattern transfer
layer) left exposed by patterned resist layer 14' (as seen in Figure 2(e)) are etched in
a short oxide etch step using conventional etch chemistry, such as Cf4IO2 to thereby
pattern the silylated layer 12 (not shown). Because of the thinness of the silylated
layer 12, the etch step can be perform rapidly so that image resolution does not
suffer as it might under a longer or more aggressive etch necessitated by a thicker
layer.
Thereafter, the first resist layer 10' is dry developed (19) using the patterned
silylated layer as a mask to obtain a patterned first resist layer 10". The patterned
resist layer 14' may be simultaneously removed during the dry develop step 19, until
the patterned silylated layer is reached (which acts as an etch barrier). See Figure
2(f).
It is noted that the patterned silylated layer may be removed during a
subsequent step of etching the substrate 20.
It is of course noted that the "pattern" formed as illustrated in Figure 2 is
purely by way of example and in no way is limitative.
It is contemplated, but not required, according to the present invention, to
perform all of the steps of the present invention on a single track, avoiding complex
and operationally slow process equipment such as CVD reaction equipment. For
example, the present invention can be advantageously implemented entirely on a
single lithographic system tool using standard available processing steps in one
sequence, i.e., resist coat, bake (to cross-link, partially pyrolyze), HMDS silylation,
resist coat, bake, expose and wet develop. This can result in significant cost and
cycle time reduction and improved process control compared to conventional MLR
resist patterning processes.
Although the present invention has been described above with reference to
certain particular preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is
not limited by reference to the specific details of those preferred embodiments.
More specifically, the person skilled in the art will readily appreciate that
modifications and developments can be made in the preferred embodiments without
departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the accompanying claims.
