Description
本実施形態に係る感光性樹脂組成物の選定方法は、基板上に、感光性樹脂組成物を塗布及び乾燥して樹脂膜を形成する工程と、樹脂膜を窒素雰囲気下で加熱処理して硬化膜を得る工程と、窒素雰囲気下、10℃/分で25℃から300℃まで昇温して硬化膜の重量減少を測定する工程と、を備える。この方法により、硬化膜の300℃での重量減少率が1.0~6.0%である、感光性樹脂組成物を選定する。
本実施形態に係る感光性樹脂組成物は、ポジ型の感光性樹脂組成物であっても、ネガ型の感光性樹脂組成物であってもよい。感光性樹脂組成物は、微細なパターニングができる観点から、(A)ベースポリマー、(B)熱硬化性化合物又は光重合性化合物、及び(C)感光剤を含むことができる。以下、感光性樹脂組成物が含有し得る各成分について、詳細に説明する。
(A)成分として、フェノール性水酸基、カルボキシル基、イミド基、ベンゾオキサゾール基、又は光重合性のエチレン性不飽和基を有するポリマーを用いることができる。
(B)成分としては、熱硬化性化合物又は光重合性化合物を用いることができる。(B)成分は、1種を単独で又は2種以上を組み合わせて用いてもよい。
(C)感光剤としては、光照射によってラジカルを生成する光ラジカル重合開始剤又は光照射によって酸を生成する光酸発生剤を用いることができる。
感光性樹脂組成物は、フェノール性水酸基を有する低分子化合物を含んでもよい。フェノール性水酸基を有する低分子化合物は、アルカリ水溶液で現像する際の露光部の溶解速度を増加させ、感度を向上させるために用いられる。フェノール性水酸基を有する低分子化合物を含有することにより、パターン形成後の樹脂膜を加熱して硬化する際にフェノール性水酸基を有する低分子化合物が(A)成分と反応して橋架け構造が形成される。
感光性樹脂組成物は、加熱により酸を生成する化合物を含むことができる。加熱により酸を生成する化合物を用いることにより、パターン樹脂膜を加熱する際に酸を発生させることが可能となり、(A)成分と、グリシジル基を有する化合物と、フェノール性水酸基を有する低分子化合物との反応、すなわち熱架橋反応が促進され、パターン硬化膜の耐熱性が向上する。また、加熱により酸を生成する化合物は光照射によっても酸を発生するため、露光部のアルカリ水溶液への溶解性が増大する。よって、未露光部と露光部とのアルカリ水溶液に対する溶解性の差が更に大きくなり解像性がより向上する。

実施形態に係る感光性樹脂組成物は、エラストマー成分を含有してもよい。エラストマーは、感光性樹脂組成物の硬化体に柔軟性を付与するために用いられる。エラストマーとしては、従来公知のものを用いることができるが、エラストマーを構成する重合体のTgが20℃以下であることが好ましい。
実施形態に係る感光性樹脂組成物は、溶解促進剤を更に含有してもよい。溶解促進剤を感光性樹脂組成物に配合することによって、アルカリ水溶液で現像する際の露光部の溶解速度を増加させ、感度及び解像性を向上させることができる。溶解促進剤としては従来公知のものを用いることができる。溶解促進剤としては、例えば、カルボキシ基、スルホ基、又はスルホンアミド基を有する化合物が挙げられる。溶解促進剤を用いる場合の配合量は、アルカリ水溶液に対する溶解速度によって決めることができ、例えば、(A)成分100質量部に対して、0.01~30質量部とすることができる。
実施形態に係る感光性樹脂組成物は、溶解阻害剤を更に含有してもよい。溶解阻害剤は、(A)成分のアルカリ水溶液に対する溶解性を阻害する化合物であり、残膜厚、現像時間、及びコントラストをコントロールするために用いられる。溶解阻害剤としては、例えば、ジフェニルヨードニウムニトラート、ビス(p-tert-ブチルフェニル)ヨードニウムニトラート、ジフェニルヨードニウムブロミド、ジフェニルヨードニウムクロリド、及びジフェニルヨードニウムヨージドが挙げられる。溶解阻害剤を用いる場合の配合量は、感度と現像時間の許容幅の点から、(A)成分100質量部に対して0.01~20質量部、0.01~15質量部、又は0.05~10質量部であってよい。
実施形態に係る感光性樹脂組成物は、カップリング剤を更に含有してもよい。カップリング剤を感光性樹脂組成物に配合することによって、形成されるパターン硬化膜の基板との接着性を高めることができる。カップリング剤としては、例えば、有機シラン化合物及びアルミキレート化合物が挙げられる。
実施形態に係る感光性樹脂組成物は、界面活性剤又はレベリング剤を更に含有してもよい。界面活性剤又はレベリング剤を感光性樹脂組成物に配合することによって、塗布性をより向上することができる。具体的には、例えば、界面活性剤又はレベリング剤を含有することで、ストリエーション(膜厚のムラ)をより防いだり、現像性をより向上させたりすることができる。
実施形態に係る感光性樹脂組成物は、各成分を溶解・分散させるため溶剤を含有することにより、基板上への塗布を容易にし、均一な厚さの塗膜を形成できる。
本実施形態に係るパターン硬化膜(レジストパターン)の製造方法は、上述の選定方法で選定した感光性樹脂組成物を、基板の一部又は全面に塗布及び乾燥し樹脂膜を形成する工程(塗布・乾燥工程)と、樹脂膜の少なくとも一部を露光する工程(露光工程)と、露光後の樹脂膜を現像してパターン樹脂膜を形成する工程(現像工程)と、パターン化されたパターン樹脂膜(感光性樹脂膜)を加熱する工程(加熱処理工程)とを備える。以下、各工程の一例について説明する。
まず、感光性樹脂組成物を基板上に塗布し乾燥して樹脂膜を形成する。この工程では、ガラス基板、半導体、金属酸化物絶縁体(例えば、TiO2、SiO2等)、窒化ケイ素等の基板上に、感光性樹脂組成物を、スピンナー等を用いて回転塗布し、塗膜を形成する。この塗膜が形成された基板をホットプレート、オーブン等を用いて乾燥する。乾燥温度は、80~140℃、90~135℃、又は100~130℃であってよく、乾燥時間は、1~7分間、1~6分間、2~5分間であってよい。これにより、基板上に樹脂膜が形成される。
次に、露光工程では、基板上に形成された樹脂膜に、マスクを介して紫外線、可視光線、放射線等の活性光線を照射する。上述の感光性樹脂組成物において、(A)成分はi線に対する透明性が高いので、i線の照射を好適に用いることができる。露光後、必要に応じて露光後加熱(PEB)を行うこともできる。露光後加熱の温度は70℃~140℃、露光後加熱の時間は1~5分間が好ましい。
現像工程では、露光工程後の樹脂膜の露光部又は未露光部を現像液で除去することにより、樹脂膜がパターン化され、パターン樹脂膜が得られる。感光性樹脂組成物がポジ型であれば、露光部が現像液で除去される。感光性樹脂組成物がネガ型であれば、未露光部が現像液で除去される。
加熱処理工程では、パターン樹脂膜を加熱処理することによって、パターン硬化膜(レジストパターン)を形成することができる。加熱処理工程における加熱温度は、電子デバイスに対する熱によるダメージを十分に防止する点から、170~260℃、180~250℃、又は190~240℃であってよい。
本実施形態に係るパターン硬化膜(レジストパターン)の製造方法の一例として、半導体装置の製造工程を図面に基づいて説明する。図1~5は、多層配線構造を有する半導体装置の製造工程の一実施形態を示す概略断面図である。
