Problems solved by technology

Using a thicker resist layer may not be a practical solution as it would then lead to other problems such as reduced depth of focus and pattern collapse

example 1

[0112] Example 1: Synthesis of Matrix Polymer 1

[0113] The polymer referred to herein as "Matrix Polymer 1" or simply "Polymer 1" was prepared in the following manner. 14g of 3,3'-(5-(2-(tert-butoxy)-2-oxoethyl)-2,4,6-trioxo-1,3,5-triazine-1,3-di base) dibutyl dipropionate, 27 g of tris-(2-hydroxyethyl) isocyanurate, a catalytic amount of p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate and 33 g of anisole were fed into the reactor. The reaction was heated and refluxed. After the reaction was completed, the reaction solution was cooled and diluted. The solution was added to a sufficient amount of alcoholic solvent and collected by filtration in a Buchner funnel, air dried and then dried in vacuo. The weight average molecular weight of the resulting polymer was 9000 for standard polystyrene.

[0114] Example 2: Synthesis of Matrix Polymer 2

[0115] The polymer referred to herein as "Matrix Polymer 2" or simply "Polymer 2" was prepared in the following manner. 17 g of tris-(2-carboxyethyl) isocyanurate, 23 g of tris-(2-hydroxyethyl) isocyanurate, a catalytic amount of p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate and 33 g of anisole were fed into the reactor middle. After the reaction was completed, the reaction solution was cooled and diluted. The polymer was precipitated by dropwise addition of a sufficient amount of isopropanol and collected by filtration in a Buchner funnel, air dried and then dried in vacuo. The weight average molecular weight of the resulting polymer was 7000 for standard polystyrene.

[0116] Example 3: Synthesis of Matrix Polymer 3

[0117] The polymer referred to herein as "Matrix Polymer 3" or simply "Polymer 3" was prepared in the following manner. 15g of N-allyl-bis(2-carboxyethyl) isocyanurate, 27g of tris-(2-hydroxyethyl) isocyanurate, and a catalytic amount of p-toluenesulfonic acid acid monohydrate, PTSA) and 30 g of anisole were fed into the reactor. After the reaction was completed, the reaction solution was cooled and diluted. The polymer was precipitated by dropwise addition of a sufficient amount of alcoholic solvent and collected by filtration in a Buchner funnel, air dried and then dried in vacuo. The weight average molecular weight of the resulting polymer was 19,000 for standard polystyrene.

Abstract

Organic coating compositions, especially antireflective coating compositions for use with overcoated photoresists, are provided comprising a surfactant comprising formula (I). wherein A and B are each independently hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl, or optionally substituted aryl; and X and Y are each independently hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl, or optionally substituted substituted carbocyclic aryl; and n is a positive integer. Preferred coating compositions can improve the pattern collapse limit of overcoated photoresist layers.

Description

Background technique [0001] The present invention relates to compositions for microelectronic applications, and in particular antireflective coating compositions (eg, "BARC"). The compositions of the present invention contain a surface energy control agent. [0002] Photoresists are photosensitive films used to transfer images to substrates. A coating of photoresist is formed on the substrate, and then the photoresist layer is exposed to a source of activating radiation through a photomask. After exposure, the photoresist is developed to provide a relief image that allows selective processing of the substrate. [0003] Reflection of the activating radiation used to expose the photoresist often limits the resolution of images patterned in the photoresist layer. Reflection of radiation from the substrate / photoresist interface can spatially vary the radiation intensity in the photoresist, resulting in non-uniform linewidths of the photoresist during development. Radiation can...
