Description

感放射線性樹脂組成物、レジストパターン形成方法、重合体及び化合物Radiation sensitive resin composition, resist pattern forming method, polymer and compound
 本発明は、感放射線性樹脂組成物、レジストパターン形成方法、重合体及び化合物に関する。 The present invention relates to a radiation sensitive resin composition, a resist pattern forming method, a polymer and a compound.
 リソグラフィーによる微細加工に用いられる化学増幅型の感放射線性樹脂組成物は、ArFエキシマレーザー光等の遠紫外線、極端紫外線(EUV)、X線などの電磁波、電子線等の荷電粒子線などの照射により露光部に酸を発生させ、この酸を触媒とする化学反応により、露光部と未露光部とで、現像液に対する溶解速度に差を生じさせることで、レジストパターンを形成させる。 Chemically amplified radiation-sensitive resin compositions used for microfabrication by lithography are irradiated with far ultraviolet rays such as ArF excimer laser light, electromagnetic waves such as extreme ultraviolet rays (EUV) and X-rays, and charged particle beams such as electron beams. Thus, an acid is generated in the exposed portion, and a resist pattern is formed by causing a difference in dissolution rate in the developing solution between the exposed portion and the unexposed portion by a chemical reaction using this acid as a catalyst.
 かかる感放射線性樹脂組成物には、加工技術の微細化に伴って、感度、解像性等のリソグラフィー性能を向上させることが要求される。この要求に対し、上記感放射線性樹脂組成物に含有される重合体が有する酸解離性基の構造が種々検討されており、酸解離性基が炭素-炭素二重結合を含む炭化水素基であるものも知られている(特開2000-128930号公報、特開平10-140018号公報及び特開平6-289615号公報参照)。 Such a radiation-sensitive resin composition is required to improve lithography performance such as sensitivity and resolution as processing technology becomes finer. In response to this demand, various structures of acid-dissociable groups possessed by the polymer contained in the radiation-sensitive resin composition have been studied. The acid-dissociable group is a hydrocarbon group containing a carbon-carbon double bond. Some are also known (see JP 2000-128930 A, JP 10-140018 A, and JP 6-289615 A).
 しかし、レジストパターンの微細化がハーフピッチ40nm以下のレベルまで進展している現在にあっては、感放射線性樹脂組成物の解像性の要求レベルはさらに高まり、加えて、LWR(Line Width Roughness)性能に優れると共に、欠陥抑制性にも優れることが求められている。しかし、上記従来の感放射線性樹脂組成物では、これらの性能を満足させることはできていない。 However, at present, when the miniaturization of resist patterns has progressed to a level of 40 nm or less, the required level of resolution of the radiation-sensitive resin composition has further increased, and in addition, LWR (Line Width Roughness). ) It is required to have excellent performance and defect suppression. However, the conventional radiation-sensitive resin composition cannot satisfy these performances.

 [A]重合体は、構造単位(I)を有する重合体である。当該感放射線性樹脂組成物は、[A]重合体が構造単位(I)を有することで、解像性、LWR性能及び欠陥抑制性に優れる。当該感放射線性樹脂組成物が上記構成を有することで上記効果を奏する理由については必ずしも明確ではないが、例えば、以下のように推察することができる。すなわち、[A]重合体の構造単位(I)における基(I)は、O、N及びSからなる群より選ばれる少なくとも1種の原子(以下、「O等の原子」ともいう)を有するR基と、炭素-炭素二重結合を含むR基とを含む。また、[B]酸発生体は、通常高い極性を有している。そのため、基(I)と[B]酸発生体との間には高い親和性があると考えられ、[B]酸発生体は[A]重合体の近傍に存在する度合いが高まる。従って、[A]重合体が有する酸解離性基の解離容易性が高まり、その結果、当該感放射線性樹脂組成物の解像性、LWR性能及び欠陥抑制性が向上する。
<[A] polymer>
[A] The polymer is a polymer having the structural unit (I).

R 1 group and R 2 group containing a carbon-carbon double bond. [B] The acid generator usually has high polarity. Therefore, it is considered that there is a high affinity between the group (I) and the [B] acid generator, and the degree that the [B] acid generator exists in the vicinity of the [A] polymer increases.

It becomes. In addition, as described above, the acid dissociable group is considered to have the [B] acid generator closer to each other, so that the dissociability is further enhanced.

 また、[C]酸拡散制御剤として、露光により弱酸を発生する光崩壊性塩基を用いることもできる。光崩壊性塩基は、未露光部ではアニオンによる酸捕捉機能が発揮されクエンチャーとして機能し、露光部から拡散する酸を捕捉する。一方、露光部においては酸を発生してアニオンが消滅するため、酸捕捉機能がなくなる。すなわち、未露光部のみにおいてクエンチャーとして機能するため、酸解離性基の解離反応のコントラストが向上し、結果として、当該感放射線性樹脂組成物の解像度等のリソグラフィー性能をより向上させることができる。光崩壊性塩基としては、例えば、露光により分解して酸拡散制御性を失うオニウム塩化合物等が挙げられる。オニウム塩化合物としては、例えば下記式(C1)で示されるスルホニウム塩化合物、下記式(C2)で表されるヨードニウム塩化合物等が挙げられる。 Further, as the [C] acid diffusion control agent, a photodegradable base that generates a weak acid by exposure can also be used. The photodegradable base exhibits an acid capturing function by an anion in an unexposed area and functions as a quencher, and captures an acid diffused from the exposed area. On the other hand, in the exposed area, an acid is generated and the anion disappears, so that the acid capturing function is lost. That is, since it functions as a quencher only in the unexposed area, the contrast of the dissociation reaction of the acid dissociable group is improved, and as a result, the lithography performance such as the resolution of the radiation sensitive resin composition can be further improved. . Examples of the photodegradable base include an onium salt compound that decomposes upon exposure and loses acid diffusion controllability. Examples of the onium salt compound include a sulfonium salt compound represented by the following formula (C1) and an iodonium salt compound represented by the following formula (C2).

The radiation-sensitive resin composition may further contain, for example, [D] a fluorine atom-containing polymer (excluding those corresponding to the [A] polymer) when used for immersion exposure. . The radiation-sensitive resin composition contains [D] a fluorine atom-containing polymer, so that when the resist film is formed, the distribution of the resist is changed depending on the oil-repellent characteristics of the [D] fluorine atom-containing polymer. Since there is a tendency to be unevenly distributed in the surface layer of the film, elution to the immersion medium such as the [B] acid generator and the [C] acid diffusion controller in the resist film can be suppressed during the immersion exposure. Further, since the radiation sensitive resin composition contains [D] fluorine atom-containing polymer, the receding contact angle of the resist film surface to be formed is increased, so that immersion exposure can be suitably performed, and high-speed scanning is performed.

 [D]フッ素原子含有重合体のフッ素原子含有率は、[A]重合体のフッ素原子含有率よりも高いことが好ましい。[D]フッ素原子含有重合体が[A]重合体よりフッ素原子含有率が高いことで、[D]フッ素原子含有重合体が形成されるレジスト膜の表層に効果的に偏在化することができ、その結果、上述の液浸露光時における効果をより発揮させることができる。[D]フッ素原子含有重合体のフッ素原子含有率としては、1質量%以上が好ましく、3質量%以上がより好ましく、5質量%以上がさらに好ましい。なお、重合体のフッ素原子含有率(質量%)は、13C-NMRにより重合体の構造を求め、その結果から算出することができる。 [D] The fluorine atom content of the fluorine atom-containing polymer is preferably higher than the fluorine atom content of the [A] polymer. [D] Since the fluorine atom-containing polymer has a higher fluorine atom content than the [A] polymer, it can be effectively unevenly distributed in the surface layer of the resist film on which the [D] fluorine atom-containing polymer is formed. As a result, the above-described effects at the time of immersion exposure can be further exhibited. [D] The fluorine atom content of the fluorine atom-containing polymer is preferably 1% by mass or more, more preferably 3% by mass or more, and further preferably 5% by mass or more.

[Resist film forming step]
In this step, a resist film is formed from the radiation sensitive resin composition. As a substrate on which the resist film is formed, a conventionally known substrate such as a silicon wafer or a wafer coated with aluminum can be used. Further, for example, an organic or inorganic antireflection film disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-12452 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-93448 may be formed on the substrate.
 塗布方法としては、例えば回転塗布(スピンコーティング)、流延塗布、ロール塗布等が挙げられる。形成されるレジスト膜の膜厚としては、10nm~1,000nmが好ましく、10nm~500nmがより好ましい。 Examples of the application method include spin coating, spin coating, roll coating, and the like.

Moreover, you may perform exposure twice or more with a desired pattern and a mask pattern. When performing exposure twice or more, it is preferable to perform exposure continuously. In the case of performing multiple exposures, for example, a first reduced projection exposure is performed on a desired area via a line and space pattern mask, and then the second is so that the line intersects the exposed portion where the first exposure has been performed. Reduced projection exposure is performed. The first exposure part and the second exposure part are preferably orthogonal. By being orthogonal, it becomes easy to form a perfect circular contact hole pattern in the unexposed area surrounded by the exposed area. Examples of the immersion liquid used for exposure include water and a fluorine-based inert liquid. The immersion liquid is preferably a liquid that is transparent to the exposure wavelength and has a refractive index temperature coefficient that is as small as possible so as to minimize distortion of the optical image projected onto the film. In the case of excimer laser light (wavelength 193 nm), it is preferable to use water from the viewpoints of availability and easy handling in addition to the above-described viewpoints. When water is used, an additive that decreases the surface tension of water and increases the surface activity may be added in a small proportion. This additive is preferably one that does not dissolve the resist layer on the wafer and can ignore the influence on the optical coating on the lower surface of the lens. The water used is preferably distilled water.
