Definitions
- the present invention relates to a radiation-sensitive composition and a pattern forming method.
- Radiation sensitive compositions used for microfabrication by lithography are exposed to irradiated parts such as deep ultraviolet rays such as ArF excimer laser light and KrF excimer laser light, electromagnetic waves such as extreme ultraviolet rays (EUV), and charged particle beams such as electron beams.
- An acid is generated in the substrate, and a chemical reaction using the acid as a catalyst causes a difference in the dissolution rate of the exposed portion and the unexposed portion with respect to the developer, thereby forming a pattern on the substrate.
- Such a radiation-sensitive composition is required to improve resist performance as the processing technique becomes finer.
- the types and molecular structures of polymers, acid generators and other components used in the composition have been studied, and further their combinations have been studied in detail (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-125907, special features). (See Kaihei 8-146610 and JP-A 2000-298347).
- the radiation-sensitive composition requires a higher level of resist performance, and the LWR of the pattern to be formed is further reduced.
- high sensitivity is also required for exposure light such as electron beams and EUV.

- the reason why the radiation-sensitive composition has the above-described configuration provides the above-described effect is not necessarily clear, for example, it can be inferred as follows. That is, it is considered that secondary electrons are generated by exposure light acting on a metal atom such as a [B] cation, and acid (I) is generated from the [C] anion by the action of the secondary electrons. This acid (I) is coordinated by exchanging with the substance coordinated to the metal of the [A] particles, whereby the solubility of the [A] particles in the developer is changed and a pattern is formed.
- the [C] anion is an acid (I) conjugate base having a pKa of 3 or less, and the coordinating power of the [A] particle to the metal atom is relatively weak. Therefore, it is considered that the LWR of the pattern can be reduced and the sensitivity can be improved.

当該感放射線性組成物は、上記[A]~[E]成分以外にも、その他の任意成分として、例えば酸拡散制御体、感放射線性酸発生体、フッ素原子含有重合体、界面活性剤等を含有していてもよい。当該感放射線性組成物は、その他の任意成分をそれぞれ、1種又は2種以上含有していてもよい。
当該感放射線性組成物は、必要に応じて、酸拡散制御体を含有してもよい。酸拡散制御体は、露光により[X]金属塩等から生じる酸の膜中における拡散現象を制御し、非露光領域における好ましくない化学反応を抑制する効果を奏する。また、感放射線性組成物の貯蔵安定性がさらに向上すると共に、レジストとしての解像度がより向上する。さらに、露光から現像処理までの引き置き時間の変動によるパターンの線幅変化を抑えることができ、プロセス安定性に優れた感放射線性組成物が得られる。酸拡散制御体の当該感放射線性組成物における含有形態としては、遊離の化合物(以下、適宜「酸拡散制御剤」と称する)の形態でも、重合体の一部として組み込まれた形態でも、これらの両方の形態でもよい。
当該感放射線性組成物は、露光により、[A]粒子、[B]カチオン及び[C]アニオンから酸が発生するため、感放射線性酸発生体は必ずしも必要ではないが、当該感放射線性組成物は、感放射線性酸発生体を含有することにより、さらに感度を高めることができる。当該感放射線性組成物における感放射線性酸発生体の含有形態としては、低分子化合物の形態(以下、適宜「感放射線性酸発生剤」ともいう)でも、[A]粒子、[B]カチオン、[C]アニオン等の一部として組み込まれた形態でも、これらの両方の形態でもよい。
フッ素原子含有重合体は、フッ素原子を有する重合体である。当該感放射線性組成物がフッ素原子含有重合体を含有すると、膜を形成した際に、膜中のフッ素原子含有重合体の撥油性的特徴により、その分布が膜表面近傍に偏在化する傾向があり、液浸露光等の際における感放射線性酸発生体、酸拡散制御体等が液浸媒体に溶出することを抑制することができる。また、このフッ素原子含有重合体の撥水性的特徴により、膜と液浸媒体との前進接触角を所望の範囲に制御でき、バブル欠陥の発生を抑制することができる。さらに、膜と液浸媒体との後退接触角が高くなり、水滴が残らずに高速でのスキャン露光が可能となる。このように、当該感放射線性組成物は、フッ素原子含有重合体を含有することで、液浸露光法に好適な膜を形成することができる。
界面活性剤は、塗工性、ストリエーション、現像性等を改良する効果を奏する。界面活性剤としては、例えばポリオキシエチレンラウリルエーテル、ポリオキシエチレンステアリルエーテル、ポリオキシエチレンオレイルエーテル、ポリオキシエチレンn-オクチルフェニルエーテル、ポリオキシエチレンn-ノニルフェニルエーテル、ポリエチレングリコールジラウレート、ポリエチレングリコールジステアレート等のノニオン系界面活性剤などが挙げられる。界面活性剤の市販品としては、KP341(信越化学工業社)、ポリフローNo.75、同No.95(以上、共栄社化学社)、エフトップEF301、同EF303、同EF352(以上、トーケムプロダクツ社)、メガファックF171、同F173(以上、DIC社)、フロラードFC430、同FC431(以上、住友スリーエム社)、アサヒガードAG710、サーフロンS-382、同SC-101、同SC-102、同SC-103、同SC-104、同SC-105、同SC-106(以上、旭硝子社)等が挙げられる。
当該感放射線性組成物は、例えば[A]粒子、[B]カチオンと[C]アニオンとを含む[X]金属塩並びに必要に応じて[D]カルボン酸、[E]溶媒及び任意成分を所定の割合で混合し、好ましくは、得られた混合物を孔径0.2μm程度のメンブランフィルターでろ過することにより調製することができる。当該感放射線性組成物の固形分濃度の下限としては、0.1質量%が好ましく、0.5質量%がより好ましく、1質量%がさらに好ましく、1.5質量%が特に好ましい。上記固形分濃度の上限としては、50質量%が好ましく、30質量%がより好ましく、10質量%がさらに好ましく、5質量%が特に好ましい。
当該パターン形成方法は、当該感放射線性組成物を基板に塗工する工程(以下、「塗工工程」ともいう)と、上記塗工工程により形成された膜を露光する工程(以下、「露光工程」ともいう)と、上記露光された膜を現像する工程(以下、「現像工程」ともいう)とを備える。当該パターン形成方法によれば、上述の当該感放射線性組成物を用いているので、高い感度で、LWRが小さいパターンを形成することができる。以下、各工程について説明する。
本工程では、基板の一方の面側に、当該感放射線性組成物を塗工する。これにより、膜を形成する。塗工方法としては特に限定されないが、例えば回転塗工、流延塗工、ロール塗工等の適宜の塗工手段を採用することができる。基板としては、例えばシリコンウエハ、アルミニウムで被覆されたウエハ等が挙げられる。具体的には、得られる膜が所定の厚さになるように感放射線性組成物を塗工した後、必要に応じてプレベーク(PB)することで塗膜中の溶媒を揮発させる。
本工程では、上記塗工工程により形成された膜を露光する。この露光は、場合によっては、水等の液浸媒体を介し、所定のパターンを有するマスクを介して放射線を照射することにより行う。上記放射線としては、例えば可視光線、紫外線、遠紫外線、真空紫外線(極端紫外線(EUV);波長13.5nm)、X線、γ線等の電磁波;電子線、α線等の荷電粒子線などが挙げられる。これらの中で、露光により[A]粒子、[B]カチオン等が含む金属原子から二次電子がより多く放出される放射線が好ましく、EUV及び電子線がより好ましい。
本工程では、上記露光工程で露光された膜を現像する。この現像に用いる現像液としては、アルカリ水溶液、有機溶媒含有液等が挙げられる。
