その後、反応液を静置して有機相と水相とを分離した。得られた有機相を水100gで4回洗浄した。水洗4回目の廃水の電気伝導度は20μS/cmであり、水による洗浄によって除けるイオン性化合物が十分に除かれたことを確認した。
水洗後の有機相を減圧下で濃縮し、最終的に90℃で1時間濃縮乾固させて、シアン酸エステル化合物(黄赤色粘性物)23.1gを得た(代表組成として下記式(16)~(18)を有する)。得られたシアン酸エステル化合物GP100CNの重量平均分子量(Mw)は1050であった。また、GP100CNのIRスペクトルは2260cm-1(シアン酸エステル基)の吸収を示し、且つ、ヒドロキシ基の吸収は示さなかった。
PGMEAへの溶解性を評価した結果、20質量%以上(評価A)であり、化合物(GP100CN)は優れた溶解性を有するものと評価された。そのため、化合物(GP100CN)は溶液状態で高い保存安定性を有し、半導体微細加工プロセスで広く用いられるエッジビートリンス液(PGME/PGMEA混合液)にも十分に適用できるものと評価された。
ジムロート冷却管、温度計及び攪拌翼を備えた、底抜きが可能な内容積10Lの四つ口フラスコを準備した。この四つ口フラスコに、窒素気流中、1,5-ジメチルナフタレン1.09kg(7mol、三菱ガス化学(株)製)、40質量%ホルマリン水溶液2.1kg(ホルムアルデヒドとして28mol、三菱ガス化学(株)製)及び98質量%硫酸(関東化学(株)製)0.97mlを仕込み、常圧下、100℃で還流させながら7時間反応させた。その後、希釈溶媒としてエチルベンゼン(和光純薬工業(株)製、試薬特級)1.8kgを反応液に加え、静置後、下相の水相を除去した。さらに、中和及び水洗を行い、エチルベンゼン及び未反応の1,5-ジメチルナフタレンを減圧下で留去することにより、淡褐色固体のジメチルナフタレンホルムアルデヒド樹脂1.25kgを得た。
得られたジメチルナフタレンホルムアルデヒドの分子量は、Mn:562、Mw:1168、Mw/Mn:2.08であった。また、炭素濃度は84.2質量%、酸素濃度は8.3質量%であった。
得られた樹脂(CR-1)は、Mn:885、Mw:2220、Mw/Mn:4.17であった。また、炭素濃度は89.1質量%、酸素濃度は4.5質量%であった。
熱重量測定(TG)の結果、得られた樹脂の400℃での熱減少量は25%以上であった。そのため、高温ベークへの適用が困難であるものと評価された。
PGMEAへの溶解性を評価した結果、20質量%以上(評価A)であり、優れた溶解性を有するものと評価された。
表1に示す組成となるように、前記合成例1で得られた化合物、前記製造例1で得られた樹脂、及び次の材料を用いて、実施例1~2及び比較例1~2に対応するリソグラフィー用下層膜形成材料を各々調製した。
酸発生剤:みどり化学社製 ジターシャリーブチルジフェニルヨードニウムノナフルオロメタンスルホナート(DTDPI)
架橋剤:三和ケミカル社製 ニカラックMX270(ニカラック)
有機溶媒:プロピレングリコールモノメチルエーテルアセテート(PGMEA)
エッチング装置:サムコインターナショナル社製 RIE-10NR
出力:50W
圧力:4Pa
時間:2min
エッチングガス
CF4ガス流量:O2ガス流量=5:15(sccm)
エッチング耐性の評価は、以下の手順で行った。
まず、実施例1における化合物(GP100CN)に代えてノボラック(群栄化学社製PSM4357)を用い、乾燥温度を110℃にすること以外は、実施例1と同様の条件で、ノボラックの下層膜を作製した。そして、このノボラックの下層膜を対象として、上述のエッチング試験を行い、そのときのエッチングレートを測定した。
次に、実施例1~2及び比較例1~2の下層膜を対象として、前記エッチング試験を同様に行い、そのときのエッチングレートを測定した。
そして、ノボラックの下層膜のエッチングレートを基準として、以下の評価基準でエッチング耐性を評価した。実用的観点からは、下記A評価及びB評価が好ましい。
<評価基準>
A:ノボラックの下層膜に比べてエッチングレートが、-20%未満
B:ノボラックの下層膜に比べてエッチングレートが、-20%以上~-10%以下
C:ノボラックの下層膜に比べてエッチングレートが、-10%以上0%以下
エスアイアイ・ナノテクノロジー社製EXSTAR6000TG-DTA装置を使用し、試料約5mgをアルミニウム製非密封容器に入れ、窒素ガス(300ml/min)気流中昇温速度10℃/minで500℃まで昇温することにより熱重量減少量を測定した。実用的観点からは、下記A又はB評価が好ましい。
<評価基準>
A:400℃での熱重量減少量が、10%未満
B:400℃での熱重量減少量が、10%~25%
C:400℃での熱重量減少量が、25%超
実施例1におけるリソグラフィー用下層膜形成用組成物を膜厚300nmのSiO2基板上に塗布して、240℃で60秒間、さらに400℃で120秒間ベークすることにより、膜厚70nmの下層膜を形成した。この下層膜上に、ArF用レジスト溶液を塗布し、130℃で60秒間ベークすることにより、膜厚140nmのフォトレジスト層を形成した。ArF用レジスト溶液としては、下記式(22)の化合物:5質量部、トリフェニルスルホニウムノナフルオロメタンスルホナート:1質量部、トリブチルアミン:2質量部、及びPGMEA:92質量部を配合して調製したものを用いた。
なお、下記式(22)の化合物は、次のように調製した。すなわち、2-メチル-2-メタクリロイルオキシアダマンタン4.15g、メタクリルロイルオキシ-γ-ブチロラクトン3.00g、3-ヒドロキシ-1-アダマンチルメタクリレート2.08g、アゾビスイソブチロニトリル0.38gを、テトラヒドロフラン80mLに溶解させて反応溶液とした。この反応溶液を、窒素雰囲気下、反応温度を63℃に保持して、22時間重合させた後、反応溶液を400mLのn-ヘキサン中に滴下した。このようにして得られる生成樹脂を凝固精製させ、生成した白色粉末をろ過し、減圧下40℃で一晩乾燥させて下記式で表される化合物を得た。
前記実施例1におけるリソグラフィー用下層膜形成用組成物の代わりに実施例2におけるリソグラフィー用下層膜形成用組成物を用いること以外は、実施例3と同様にして、ポジ型のレジストパターンを得た。評価結果を表2に示す。
下層膜の形成を行わないこと以外は、実施例3と同様にして、フォトレジスト層をSiO2基板上に直接形成し、ポジ型のレジストパターンを得た。評価結果を表2に示す。
実施例3、4及び比較例3のそれぞれについて、得られた55nmL/S(1:1)及び80nmL/S(1:1)のレジストパターンの形状を(株)日立製作所製の電子顕微鏡(S-4800)を用いて観察した。現像後のレジストパターンの形状については、パターン倒れがなく、矩形性が良好なものを良好とし、そうでないものを不良として評価した。また、当該観察の結果、パターン倒れが無く、矩形性が良好な最小の線幅を解像性として評価の指標とした。さらに、良好なパターン形状を描画可能な最小の電子線エネルギー量を感度として、評価の指標とした。
また、明細書に記載された全ての文献、特許出願、及び技術規格は、個々の文献、特許出願、及び技術規格が参照により取り込まれることが具体的かつ個々に記された場合と同程度に、本明細書中に参照により取り込まれる。
