Problems solved by technology

However, since many portions of the imaging layer are removed during the post-patterning ARC etch, subsequent etching steps may further require patterning
[0006] In other words, in some lithographic imaging methods, the resist does not provide resistance to subsequent etching steps to an extent sufficient to allow sufficiently effective transfer of the desired pattern under the layer of the resist

Embodiment 1 and 2

[0071] 0.8 g of the polymers prepared according to Synthesis Examples 1 and 2 were independently measured as a sample, and the sample was dissolved in 10 g of 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, whereby solutions of Examples 1 and 2 were prepared, respectively.

experiment example 1

[0075] Each of the sample solutions prepared in Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Example 1 was spin-coated on a silicon wafer, and baked at 250° C. for 180 seconds to form thick film.

[0076] The refractive index (n) and extinction coefficient (k) of these films were measured using an ellipsometer (J.A. Woollam). The results are shown in Table 1.

[0077] Table 1

[0078]

[0079] The evaluation results show that the films formed from the compositions prepared according to the present invention have suitable refractive index and absorption for antireflection layers at the wavelengths of ArF (193 nm) and KrF (248 nm).

[0080] On the other hand, the film formed from the composition prepared according to Comparative Example 1 had low absorption characteristics at the wavelength of KrF (248 nm).

experiment example 2

[0082] Each of the sample solutions prepared in Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Example 1 was spin-coated on a silicon wafer covered with aluminum, and baked at 250° C. for 60 seconds to form thick film.

[0083]

[0084] According to the pattern evaluation results, the film formed from the composition prepared according to the present invention was good in terms of pattern profile or margin. However, in the case of the composition prepared according to Comparative Example 1, the result

[0085] A KrF photoresist was coated on each film, baked at 110° C. for 60 seconds, exposed using an exposure system (ASML, XT: 1400, NA 0.93), and developed with an aqueous TMAH solution (2.38 wt%). The 90 nm line and space patterns were observed using a field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). The pattern, exposure latitude (EL) margin as a function of exposure energy and depth of focus (DoF) margin as a function of distance from the light source were measured. The resul...

Abstract

The present invention provides an underlayer composition with good antireflective properties for use in lithographic methods. The composition has excellent optical properties, mechanical properties, and etching selectivity, and can be applied using a spin coating method. Advantageously, the composition is applicable to short wavelength lithographic methods and exhibits minimal residual acid.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a sublayer composition having antireflective properties for use in lithographic processes. Background technique [0002] In the microelectronics industry and other related industries, including the fabrication of microstructures (eg, micromechanical and magnetoresistive heads), there is a continuing need to reduce the shape and size of structures. In the microelectronics industry, there is a need to reduce the size of microelectronic devices to provide multiple circuits on a given chip size. [0003] Efficient lithographic techniques are important to achieve structural shape reduction. Lithography affects the fabrication of microstructures in terms of the direct formation of images on specific substrates and the generation of masks commonly used for the formation of this image. [0004] Typical lithographic methods involve imagewise exposing a radiation sensitive resist to imagewise radiation to form a patterned resis...
