- the atmosphere in which the stage 23 is provided refers to the atmosphere above the stage 23 when the first gas is not supplied from the gas supply unit 3 toward the wafer W. Therefore, the first gas, which is the above-mentioned moist air, is a gas for increasing the humidity of the atmosphere above the stage 23.

- a transport mechanism 11 is provided on the front side (convey port 10A side) in the housing 10.
- the transport mechanism 11 includes a support plate 12 which is a horizontal substantially disk-shaped support portion, and the wafer W is placed on the surface of the support plate 12.
- a temperature control mechanism (not shown) is embedded in the support plate 12, and the temperature of the wafer W placed on the support plate 12 is controlled so as to be uniform in the plane.
- the support plate 12 is moved along a guide rail 15 provided on the bottom surface of the housing 10 from the transport port 10A side toward the back side by a moving mechanism 14 connected via a support member 13. Thereby, the support plate 12 can be moved between the upper region of the stage 23 and the outer region (position shown in FIG. 1) of the processing chamber 20 laterally displaced from the stage 23.
- the transport mechanism 11 When the transport mechanism 11 is located in the outer region, the transport mechanism outside the heat treatment apparatus 1 holding the wafer W enters the housing 10 from the transport port 10A. Further, the external transfer mechanism moves up and down from the upper side to the lower side of the support plate 12, so that the wafer W is transferred between the external transfer mechanism of the heat treatment apparatus 1 and the transfer mechanism 11 in the housing 10.
- the support plate 12 is formed with a slit (not shown) from the end portion on the processing chamber 20 side toward the other end side. When the support plate 12 is positioned on the stage 23 by this slit, the elevating pin 26 protruding from the stage 23 can project onto the support plate 12 through the slit. Then, the wafer W is transferred between the stage 23 and the support plate 12 by the cooperation between the raising and lowering of the raising and lowering pin 26 and the advancement and retreat of the conveying mechanism 11.
- the heat treatment apparatus 1 includes, for example, a control unit 100 including a computer.
- the control unit 100 is configured to be able to output a control signal to the elevating mechanism 28 for the chamber, the elevating mechanism 27, the valves V32, V341, V351, and the moving mechanism 14.
- a command (step group) is set in the control unit 100 so that the wafer W shown in the operation of the heat treatment apparatus 1 described later, the elevating pin 26, the elevating and lowering of the lid portion 21, and the gas supply sequence are executed.
- the program is stored. This program is stored in a storage medium such as a compact disk, a hard disk, an MO (magneto-optical disk), a DVD, or a memory card, and installed in the control unit 100.
- the stage 23 is heated to 50 ° C. to 210 ° C. by the heater 24, and the processing chamber 20 is opened to wait for exhaust from the exhaust ports 34 and 35. Further, the support plate 12 stands by at a position where the wafer W is received (a position shown by a solid line in FIG. 1). First, an external transfer mechanism (not shown) holding the exposed wafer W is introduced into the heat treatment apparatus 1 and moved from above to below the support plate 12 to place the wafer W on the support plate 12.
- the support plate 12 moves the support plate 12 directly above the stage 23. Further, the wafer W supported by the support plate 12 is pushed up by the elevating pin 26 and supported at the second position on the stage 23, and the support plate 12 retracts to the outer region. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 2, the first gas is supplied toward the wafer W, and for example, exhaust is performed from the outer peripheral side exhaust port 35 of each exhaust port. At this time, the lid portion 21 remains raised and the processing chamber 20 is open. Moisture is supplied to the wafer W by being exposed to the first gas which is moist air, and the resist film is hydrophilized.
- the elevating pin 26 is lowered and the wafer W is placed at the mounting position (first position) of the stage 23. ).
- the lid 21 is lowered in parallel with the lowering of the elevating pin 26 to close the processing chamber 20.
- the wafer W is heated and heat-treated so as to have the same temperature as the stage 23.
- the temperature of the wafer W rises, dehydration condensation of the hydroxyl groups described above occurs, and insolubilization of the exposed portion of the resist film with the developing solution progresses.
- the supply of the first gas is stopped, the exhaust by the outer peripheral side exhaust port 35 is stopped, and the exhaust is switched from the central exhaust port 34.
- the lid portion 21 is raised to open the processing chamber 20, and the elevating pin 26 is raised to raise the wafer W from the stage 23.
- the wafer W is delivered to the transfer mechanism 11 by the cooperation of the transfer mechanism 11 and the elevating pin 26. Further, the wafer W is delivered to an external transfer device, carried out from the heat treatment device 1, and undergoes development processing.
- the heat treatment apparatus 1 air (first gas) having a higher humidity than the atmosphere on the stage 23 is supplied to the wafer W to perform heat treatment. Therefore, during the heat treatment, a hydroxyl group is sufficiently introduced into the exposed portion of the resist film, and the insolubilization of the exposed portion rapidly progresses during the heat treatment. That is, the sensitivity of the reaction due to heating of the exposed portion is increased. Since the insolubilization of the exposed portion is promoted in this way, it is suppressed that the insolubilization is insufficient at the time of the developing process and the width of the convex portion of the resist pattern becomes smaller than the set value.
- the heat of the wafer W reduces the adhesion of the moisture contained in the first gas to the resist film.
- the first gas since the first gas is supplied before being placed on the stage 23, heating is performed in a state where the above-mentioned hydroxyl groups are surely introduced. Therefore, the rapid insolubilization of the exposed portion can be performed with high certainty. Since the position where the first gas is supplied is above the stage 23, the wafer W can be quickly placed on the stage 23 and heat-treated after the introduction of the hydroxyl group.
- drying occurs in the plane of the wafer W under the influence of the air flow in the region where the wafer W moves from the first gas supply to the placement on the stage 23.
- it is possible to prevent the amount of water permeated from the resist from fluctuating within the plane of the wafer W before it is placed on the stage 23. That is, since the introduction state of the hydroxyl group is suppressed from being scattered in the plane of the wafer W, it is possible to suppress the variation in the line width of the pattern in the plane of the wafer W after development.
- the humidity of the wafer W in the state of being closer to the shower head 30 is higher than that in the state of placing the wafer W on the stage 23.
- a high first gas can be supplied. That is, since the space between the surface of the wafer W and the first gas supply unit is narrower than when the wafer W is heat-treated, it becomes difficult for airflow to occur on the wafer W and the wafer W becomes more uniform in the plane. Moisture can penetrate. Further, when the wafer W is positioned at the second position and the first gas is supplied, since it is before the heat treatment of the wafer W, the generation of sublimated matter due to the heat treatment of the wafer W is small.
- the exhaust gas in the processing chamber 20 is weakened or turned off compared to while the wafer W is being heat-treated (while the wafer W is placed on the stage 23), so that the airflow around the wafer W can be further reduced. It may be adjusted so as not to intensify the airflow on the wafer W more than necessary while preventing the sublimation material from leaking.
- an exposure device that irradiates EUV from a light source may be used as in this embodiment.
- the output of light from the light source is relatively small. Therefore, the resist is required to have a relatively low dose and change in solubility, that is, to have high sensitivity.
- the metal-containing resist used in the present embodiment reacts with high sensitivity to water by desorption of the above-mentioned ligand.
- this technique utilizes the properties of this resist to change the solubility of the resist film in the developer. Therefore, according to the present technology, a pattern can be reliably formed on the resist film even if an exposure apparatus having a low output such as EUV is used.
- the supply of the first gas is continued even after the wafer W is placed on the stage 23. Therefore, a desired line width pattern can be obtained by more reliably introducing a hydroxyl group into the resist film and promoting the insolubilization reaction of the exposed portion in the film.
- the wafer W processed by the heat treatment apparatus 1 is not limited to a resist containing a metal, and when it is heated by reacting with water, the solubility of the exposed portion or the unexposed portion in the developing solution changes. It may be a resist. Therefore, for example, a resist may be used in which the unexposed portion is solubilized or insolubilized by the reaction, or the exposed portion is solubilized by the reaction. Even if these resists are used, the solubility of the resist in the exposed portion or the unexposed portion can be surely changed by this technique.
- the metal-containing resist means that the metal is not contained as an impurity but is contained as a main component.
- the humidity of the first gas is preferably higher than 60%. By increasing the humidity to more than 60% as shown in Examples described later, the reaction rate can be greatly improved, and a large effect can be obtained.
- the humidity of the gas may be described, but the gas in which the humidity is described is not limited to air. Therefore, the first gas may be a gas other than air.
- the treatment may be performed using a gas having a high humidity and a gas having a low humidity, respectively.
- these gases are also a gas having a high humidity and a gas having a low humidity when measured by a hygrometer. These gases are not limited to air.
- the supply flow rate of the first gas supplied to the wafer W when the processing chamber 20 is open is reduced, and the supply flow rate of the first gas supplied to the wafer W when the processing chamber 20 is closed is reduced. You may try to increase it.
- a flow rate adjusting unit is provided in the gas supply pipe 32 so that the flow rate of the gas discharged from the shower head 30 can be adjusted.
- the flow rate of the first gas is defined as the first flow rate. do.
- FIG. 3 after the wafer W is placed on the stage 23 and the lid portion 21 is lowered to close the processing chamber 20, the flow rate of the first gas is larger than the above-mentioned first flow rate.
- the flow rate is 2.
- the processing chamber 20 When the processing chamber 20 is opened in this way, the amount of the first gas flowing out of the processing chamber 20 can be suppressed by reducing the flow rate of the first gas supplied to the wafer W. As a result, dew condensation due to a high humidity atmosphere can be suppressed outside the processing chamber 20. Then, by increasing the flow rate of the first gas after closing the processing chamber 20, a sufficient amount of the first gas can be supplied to the wafer W, and the resist film can be sufficiently hydrophilic.
- the timing for lowering the lid 21 of the processing chamber 20 may be the same as the lowering of the elevating pin 26, or may be delayed from the lowering of the elevating pin 26.
- the exhaust port of the processing chamber 20 is not limited to being provided so that the exhaust can be performed from the center of the wafer W and the outer periphery of the wafer W, and the exhaust may be performed from only one of them.
- the heat treatment apparatus 1A according to the second embodiment will be described.
- the portion having the same configuration as the heat treatment apparatus 1 of the first embodiment is omitted from the display, and only the portion of the processing chamber 20 is shown.
- the heat treatment apparatus 1A has two branches on the other end side of the gas supply pipe 300 whose one end communicates with the diffusion space of the shower head 30.
- a first gas supply source 301 for supplying the first gas is installed at one end of the gas supply pipe 300 on the other end side, and the other end has a higher humidity than the first gas.
- a second gas supply source 302 for supplying a lower second gas is installed.
- the first gas is, for example, air having a humidity of 68%
- the second gas is, for example, air having a humidity of 20%.
- Reference numeral 303 provided in the gas supply pipe 300 is a three-way valve for switching the gas supplied to the shower head 30 between the first gas and the second gas. Further, instead of the three-way valve 303, a mixing box may be provided to supply the first gas and the second gas by changing the mixing ratio of the high humidity gas and the low humidity gas.
- the wafer W carried into the heat treatment apparatus 1A is supplied with the first gas at the second position as shown in FIG. 6 before being placed on the stage 23.
- the wafer W is placed on the stage 23 (moved to the first position) in a state where the first gas is supplied to start the heat treatment, and the processing chamber 20 is closed.
- the gas supplied to the wafer W is switched to the second gas (FIG. 8).
- the reaction rate can be increased by performing the heat treatment while supplying a high-humidity gas, but if the heat treatment is performed by supplying an excessive amount of water to the wafer W, the roughness of the resist film surface and the line width of the resist pattern can be increased. In-plane uniformity may deteriorate. Therefore, when the wafer W is heat-treated, the humidity of the gas supplied according to the progress of the reaction of the resist film is lowered, and the amount of water supplied to the wafer W is adjusted to deteriorate the roughness of the resist film surface and the resist pattern. The in-plane uniformity of the line width of the above can be suppressed from deterioration.
- the wafer W when the wafer W is heat-treated, it is difficult to make the amount of water uniform in the surface of the wafer W, and when the wafer W is heated while supplying high-humidity moist air, the water content in the surface of the wafer W is increased. There is a risk that the amount will be different.

Abstract
Description
前記基板を前記ステージに載置される第1の位置と、当該ステージから離れた第2の位置との間で相対的に昇降させる昇降機構と、
前記第1の位置に移動する前の前記第2の位置に位置する前記基板に、前記ステージが設けられる雰囲気よりも湿度が高い第1のガスを供給するガス供給部と、
を備えた。
本開示にかかる熱処理装置1について説明する。この熱処理装置1は、レジスト膜が形成されたウエハWを加熱する装置であり、当該レジスト膜は例えばEUVにより、回路パターンに沿って露光されている。従って、熱処理装置1は、いわゆるポストエクスポージャベーク(PEB)を行う装置である。このレジスト膜を構成するレジストは例えば金属を含有しており、当該金属の一例としてはスズである。レジストについてさらに説明すると、上記のEUVなどの放射線が照射されることでリガンドが金属から脱離し、その状態でレジストが水と反応することで水酸基が導入される。その後に加熱されることで、当該水酸基同士の間で脱水縮合が起こり、その結果、現像液に対して不溶化する。
処理チャンバ20は、天井部を構成する蓋部21と、蓋部21の下方側に位置し底部を含む下側部22と、を備えている。処理チャンバ20の上側部を構成する蓋部21は、支持部29を介してチャンバ用の昇降機構28に接続されている。そして昇降機構28により、蓋部21を下側部22に対して上昇することで、処理チャンバ20が分離して開放されると共に、蓋部21を下降させることで処理チャンバ20が閉鎖される。
その後蓋部21を上昇させて処理チャンバ20を開放すると共に、昇降ピン26を上昇させて、ウエハWをステージ23から上昇させる。そして搬送機構11と昇降ピン26との共働により、ウエハWを搬送機構11に受け渡す。さらにウエハWは、外部の搬送装置に受け渡されて、熱処理装置1から搬出されて、現像処理を受ける。
なお、処理チャンバ20の蓋部21を下降させるタイミングとしては、昇降ピン26の下降と同時であってもよいし、昇降ピン26の下降に遅れても良い。また、処理チャンバ20の排気口としては、ウエハWの中心部上及びウエハWの外周から排気できるように設けることに限られず、いずれか一方のみから排気するようにしてもよい。
続いて第2の実施形態にかかる熱処理装置1Aについて説明する。なおこの熱処理装置1A及び後述の熱処理装置1B、1Cの図面について、第1の実施形態の熱処理装置1と同様の構成の箇所については表示を省略し、処理チャンバ20の部分のみを示している。熱処理装置1Aは、図5に示すように一端がシャワーヘッド30の拡散空間に連通されたガス供給管300の他端側を2本に分岐している。そしてガス供給管300の他端側における一方の端部には、第1のガスを供給する第1のガス供給源301が設置され、他方の端部には、第1のガスよりも湿度が低い第2のガスを供給する第2のガス供給源302が設置されている。第1のガスは、例えば湿度68%の空気であり、第2のガスは、例えば湿度20%の空気である。
また第1のガスよりも湿度の低い第2のガスは、例えば窒素(N2)ガスなどの不活性ガスでもよい。またウエハWに供給するガスの湿度を十分に変化させる観点から、第1のガスと第2のガスとの湿度差は、例えば20%以上であることが好ましい。
またウエハWに供給するガスの湿度をウエハWの面内で調整できるようにしてもよい。図9は、このような熱処理装置1Bに設けられるシャワーヘッド30の一例の下面側平面図である。例えばシャワーヘッド30を下面から見て中央のガス供給領域300Aおよび中央の領域を囲む領域を周方向に4つに分割した各ガス供給領域300B~300Eの5つのガス供給領域300A~300Eを設け、各ガス供給領域300A~300Eにガス吐出孔31を形成する。さらに図10に示すようにシャワーヘッド30内部を各領域に対応させて5つの区画301A~301Eを構成し、各区画301A~301Eに夫々ガス供給管32A~32Eを介してガス供給源33A~33Eを接続する。なお図10では、便宜上5つの区画301A~301Eを横方向に並べて示している。
これによりウエハWの外周側の領域における第1のガスの供給量をウエハWの中心側の領域における第1のガスの供給量よりも多くすることができる。従ってウエハWの外周側の領域の水分量が多くなり、反応速度を高めることができる。これによりウエハWの外周側におけるレジストパターンの線幅の低下を抑制することができる。
本開示にかかる熱処理装置の効果を検証するため、第1の実施形態に示した熱処理装置1を用い、第1のガスの湿度を20%、50%、及び68%に夫々設定して第1の実施形態に示した例と同様にウエハWの処理を行った例を実施例1、2及び3とした。各実施例を夫々3回繰り替えし、レジストパターンの線幅の測定を行った。
