- Non-Patent Document 1 discloses pattern miniaturization by twice exposure. After a resist pattern is formed on the first hard mask by a photoresist process, the resist pattern is transferred to the first hard mask by etching, and the resist is peeled off. Furthermore, after forming a resist pattern by the second photoresist process, the hard mask of the first layer after the transfer is shared, and the pattern is transferred by etching to the hard mask of the lowermost layer. By this double exposure method, a fine pattern can be transferred. However, this method is disadvantageous in terms of cost because the photoresist process is performed twice, resulting in a long process time.

- an intermediate film 103 for processing assistance is formed on the processing target film 102 as necessary.
- the processing auxiliary intermediate film can be read as the film to be processed in the following description.
- the reason for this is that one of the most important features of the present invention is that a mask having a fine pattern is formed directly on the film to be processed or, if present, the intermediate film for processing assistance. This is because the formation of the mask itself is substantially unaffected regardless of whether the processed film or the processing auxiliary intermediate film is processed.
- this film When forming an intermediate film for processing support, this film may be the same as or different from the above-described intermediate film for pretreatment as being provided on the substrate 101.
- a conventionally known material such as an antireflection film can be used to provide the function.
- the processing aid intermediate film when used for a lower layer resist used in the multilayer resist method, for example, it contains carbon atoms such as novolak, polyvinylphenol, polymethacrylate, polyarylene, polyimide, polyarylene ether, carbon, etc. Organic materials are used.
- the carbon content is preferably 10 wt% or more.
- the etching selectivity ratio with the layer formed by the resin composition to be described later in other words, the difference in etching rate becomes large in the course of etching, and the processing is easy. Because it becomes.
- the film thickness of the processing aid film varies depending on the application, it is generally preferable to be in the range of 20 to 10,000 nm.
- the purpose of the final pattern derived from the processing-assisting intermediate film may not be achieved at 20 nm or less, and at 10000 nm or more, there is a processing conversion difference in the process of transferring the spacer pattern described later to the film to be processed. This is because it occurs remarkably.
- a plurality of processing auxiliary intermediate films can be stacked in accordance with the type of the film to be processed and the processing auxiliary intermediate film and the etching conditions.
- the material of the processing auxiliary intermediate film is etched using a spacer portion formed of a resin composition described later as a mask, and the etching is performed. What functions as a mask when the film to be processed, which is a lower layer later, is further etched is preferable.
- the mask itself is a fine pattern mask having a fine pattern.
- the intermediate film 103 for processing assistance is directly formed on the surface of the substrate, and by processing it, the substrate surface is processed as a film to be processed. A fine pattern mask is formed.
- the first convex pattern 104 having a convex portion is formed directly on the film 102 to be processed through the intermediate film 103 for processing auxiliary when it exists, and directly when it does not exist (FIG. 1).
- a resist for example, a body-type chemically amplified resist
- the formation method of the convex pattern 104 is not limited to this, and can be formed by other methods.

- the film thickness of the spacer portion 401 described later is preferably in the range of 20 to 5000 nm.
- the thickness should be equivalent. The reason is that when the spacer 401 has a thickness of less than 20 nm, the spacer portion 401 serving as a mask is consumed in the process of etching the processing-assisting intermediate film 103, and the processing-assisting intermediate film 103 has a predetermined size. This is because it becomes difficult to process into a shape.
- the film thickness of the first convex pattern 104 is reduced, the exposure amount margin, the focus margin, or the resolution at the time of exposure can be improved accordingly. Further, when the thickness of the spacer portion 401 is larger than 5000 nm, it is difficult not only to resolve the resist pattern as the first convex pattern itself but also to embed the resin composition itself.

- a cured layer may also be formed on the surface of the film 102. Although it is possible not to form the cured layer on the embedded bottom surface by adjusting the application method of the resin composition and the curing conditions, generally, the cured layer is also formed on the embedded bottom surface. In such a case, it is also necessary to remove it.

- the material embedded in the space portion forms an additional convex portion with respect to the first convex pattern. That is, when forming a final fine pattern, it is necessary to function as a mask material similar to the first convex pattern.
- the material equivalent to the first convex pattern here is not necessarily the same as the material used to form the first convex pattern, and is the same mask material as the first convex pattern. And can be etched or removed in the same manner as the first convex pattern.
- the thickness of the material layer embedded in the space portion has a thickness equivalent to that of the first convex pattern. For this reason, when embedding is performed, it is preferable to embed up to the same height as the first convex pattern. Moreover, after embedding to the height more than a 1st convex pattern, it can also planarize by performing an etching process etc. until it becomes the height equivalent to a 1st convex pattern. In FIG. 2 (e), the height of the embedded material 104A is shown as a different height to distinguish it from the first convex pattern 104, but it is preferable that the difference in height is small. .

- the processed film 102 is processed using the patterned processing auxiliary intermediate film 103 as a mask (FIG. 2H). Thereby, a fine pattern having a groove corresponding to the spacer 401 can be obtained.
- the method for forming a fine pattern of the present invention is required to include the steps specified in the present invention, but otherwise known methods can be combined. Therefore, when a resist pattern is used for the first convex pattern, the photoresist used for forming the resist pattern, and the resist forming method using the photoresist are the conventional photoresist and the conventionally known resist forming method. Any one may be used. In addition, the resist pattern can use the arbitrary thing generally used.
- the first convex pattern can be a convex pattern after etching the lower layer using the photoresist after the fine pattern is formed as an etching mask. *
