Embodiment 1~4

[0055] An antireflection film having a film thickness of 80 nm was produced on a silicon substrate using a composition for a bottom antireflection film corresponding to KrF exposure (manufactured by AZ Electronics Co., Ltd., KrF-17B (trade name)). A KrF resist composition (manufactured by AZ Electronics Materials Co., Ltd., DX5250P (trade name)) was applied on the film to a film thickness of 440 nm, and baked at 90° C. / 60 seconds to prepare a etched substrate.

[0056] Next, the resist substrate treatment liquid shown in Table 1 was prepared. Specifically, it prepared by dissolving a polymer and other components in ultrapure water, followed by filtration using a UPE filter (pore size: 0.05 μm) manufactured by Nippon Enterprise Corporation. As the polymer, powder of polyvinylpyrrolidone (hereinafter referred to as PVP) (weight average molecular weight: 3,000) or polymaleic acid (weight average molecular weight: 5,000) was used. In addition, as an additional additive, a straig...

[0062] An antireflection film having a film thickness of 80 nm was produced on a silicon substrate using a composition for a bottom antireflection film corresponding to KrF exposure (manufactured by AZ Electronics Co., Ltd., KrF-17B (trade name)). A KrF resist composition (manufactured by AZ Electronics Materials Co., Ltd., DX5250P (trade name)) was applied on the film to a film thickness of 440 nm, and baked at 90° C. / 60 seconds to prepare a etched substrate. The obtained substrate was exposed and developed using a KrF exposure apparatus (manufactured by Canon Co., Ltd., FPA-EX5 (trade name)) to prepare a developed resist substrate having a 200 nm contact hole pattern at a pitch of 1:1.

[0063] On this developed resist substrate, the resist substrate treatment solution prepared in the same manner as in Example 3 was applied, and rinsed with water. The pore size before and after treatment with the resist treatment solution was measured, and the amount of change in the pore s...

[0067] First, the resist substrate treatment liquid shown in Table 3 was prepared. Specifically, it prepared by dissolving a polymer and other components in ultrapure water, followed by filtration using a UPE filter (pore size: 0.05 μm) manufactured by Nippon Enterprise Corporation. As the polymer, polyvinylpyrrolidone (weight average molecular weight: 3,000), polyacrylic acid (weight average molecular weight: 50,000), and polymaleic acid (weight average molecular weight: 5,000) were used. In addition, as an additional additive, a straight-chain alkylsulfonic acid (surfactant) or TGDE (solubility modifier) ​​having about 12 carbon atoms was used.

[0068] Next, a developed resist substrate for evaluation of film thickness reduction and size reduction was prepared. First, an antireflection film having a film thickness of 80 nm was produced on a silicon substrate using a composition for a bottom antireflection film corresponding to KrF exposure (manufactured by AZ Electronics C...

Abstract

The present invention provides a resist substrate treating solution and a method employing the solution for treating a resist substrate. This treating solution enables to remove efficiently resist residues remaining on a surface of the resist substrate after development, and further to miniaturize a resist pattern. The solution is used for treating a resist substrate having a developed photoresist pattern, and comprises a solvent incapable of dissolving the photoresist pattern and a polymer soluble in the solvent. The developed resist substrate is brought into contact with the treating solution, and then washed with a rinse solution such as water to remove efficiently resist residues remaining on the resist substrate surface. The solvent and the polymer are preferably water and a water-soluble polymer, respectively.
