Embodiment

[0079] In J.A. Woollam VASE TM The refractive index (n) and absorption (k) values ​​of the anti-reflection coating in the following example were measured on a 302 ellipsometer.

[0080] Polymer molecular weights were measured on a gel permeation chromatograph.

[0081] Synthesis Example 1

[0082] The dianhydride of 10g butane tetracarboxylic acid, 7g styrene glycol, 0.5g benzyltributylammonium chloride, and 50g propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA) are packed into a flask, which has a condenser, Thermal controller and mechanical stirrer. The mixture was heated to 110°C under nitrogen with stirring. A clear solution was obtained after about 1-2 hours. The temperature was maintained at 110°C for 4 hours. Upon cooling, 30 g of PGMEA and 8.8 g of isopropyl glycidyl ether and 3.6 g of styrene oxide were mixed with the above solution. The reaction was maintained at 125°C for 24 hours. The reaction solution was cooled to room temperature and slowly poured into a ...

Embodiment 8

[0096] 1.0 g of the polymer solid of Synthesis Example 1 was dissolved in 30.0 g of PGMEA / PGME (70:30) to prepare a 3.3% by weight solution. 0.1 g of tetrakis(methoxymethyl) glycoluril (MX-270 obtained from Sanwa Chemicals, Hiratsuka, Japan), 0.1 g of a 10% solution of triethylamine dodecylbenzenesulfonate in ethyl lactate was added in the polymer solution. The mixture was then filtered through a microfilter with a 0.2 micron pore size. The solution was then coated on a silicon wafer and baked at 200°C for 90 seconds. The antireflection film was found to have an (n) value of 1.84 and a (k) value of 0.46 at 193 nm.

Embodiment 9

[0098] 1 g of the polymer solid of Synthesis Example 2 was dissolved in 30.0 g of a PGMEA / PGME (70:30) solvent to prepare a 3.3% by weight solution. 0.1 g of a 10% solution of dodecylbenzenesulfonate in ethyl lactate was added to the polymer solution. The mixture was then filtered through a microfilter with a 0.2 micron pore size. The solution was then coated on a silicon wafer and baked at 200°C for 90 seconds. The antireflection film was found to have an (n) value of 1.83 and a (k) value of 0.34 at 193 nm.

In addition, the present invention relates to imaging of the antireflective coating composition method.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to novel antireflective coating compositions and their use in image processing by forming a thin layer of the novel antireflective coating compositions between a reflective substrate and a photoresist coating. The compositions described above are particularly useful in the manufacture of semiconductor devices by photolithographic techniques. Background technique [0002] Photoresist compositions are used in microetching processes for making miniaturized electronic devices, such as in the manufacture of computer chips and integrated circuits. Typically, in these methods, a thin coating of a film of a photoresist composition is first applied to a substrate material such as a silicon wafer used to make integrated circuits. The coated substrate is then baked to evaporate any solvent in the photoresist composition and fix the coating on the substrate. The baked and coated substrate surface is then imagewise exposed to radiati...
