Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photoresists, and in particular to a chemically amplified photoresist and a preparation and use method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Photoresist, also known as photoresist, refers to an etching-resistant thin film material whose solubility changes when exposed to ultraviolet light, electron beam, ion beam, X-ray, etc.
[0003] When the photoresist is exposed, light passes through the photoresist and shines on the silicon (Si) substrate. At the interface between the photoresist and the substrate, the light will be reflected. These reflected lights and the incident light will interfere with each other, making the light intensity unevenly distributed along the depth of the photoresist, forming a standing wave effect.
[0004] The standing wave effect is more pronounced on deep ultraviolet photoresist because the silicon wafer surface reflects more strongly at shorter deep ultraviolet wavelengths. After exposure, streaks form on the side of the photoresist due to overexposure and underexposure.
[0005] Methods to suppress the standing wave effect include: using a multi-wavelength mixed light source for exposure; using colored photoresist is another method, that is, adding a colorant (photosensitive group or light absorber) to the photoresist to absorb reflected light, thereby weakening the standing wave effect and the multiple exposure phenomenon of the photoresist; using anti-reflective coating (ARC) and other technologies.

[0111] The first polymer resin R-1 used in the following examples and comparative examples was obtained by the following synthesis method:
[0112]
[0113] Acetoxystyrene (90.0 g, 0.555 mol), styrene (19.3 g, 0.185 mol), tert-butyl acrylate (23.7 g, 0.185 mol) and methanol (140 g) were added to a 500 ml dry four-necked flask equipped with a stirrer and a condenser under nitrogen protection. The reaction system was decompressed and evacuated, and the atmosphere was replaced with nitrogen three times. The reaction solution was stirred and mixed, cooled to 0°C, and then initiator V601 (17 g) was added and stirred for 10 minutes. The reaction system was then heated to 65°C and reacted for 18 hours. After the polymerization was complete, the reaction system was cooled to room temperature.
[0114] The system was converted to a distillation apparatus. Methanol (150 g) was added to dilute the system, followed by the dropwise addition of triethylamine (15 g) and water (5 g). The system was heated to 62-65°C and allowed to react for 8 h (during which the acetyl group in the acetoxystyrene was removed to form a hydroxyl group). The mixed solution was then slowly added dropwise to 5 L of deionized water to allow precipitation to obtain a solid compound. The solid compound was collected through 40# filter paper and then dissolved in tetrahydrofuran to approximately 20%. The compound was then again precipitated in 5 L of deionized water, and the above operation was repeated twice. The solid compound was collected and dried in a vacuum oven at 45°C for 48 h, yielding a 4-hydroxystyrene-styrene-butyl acrylate terpolymer (122.4 g, weight-average molecular weight 12400, molecular weight distribution coefficient 1.75).
[0115] The second polymer resin R-2 used in the following examples and comparative examples was obtained by the following synthesis method:
[0116]
[0117] In a 500ml dry four-necked flask equipped with a stirrer and a condenser and protected by nitrogen, acetoxystyrene (90.0g, 0.555mol), P-(1-ethoxyethoxy)styrene (45.7g, 0.238mol) and solvent methanol (140g) were added. The reaction system was decompressed and evacuated, and the nitrogen was replaced three times. The reaction solution was stirred and mixed, and cooled to 0°C. Then, initiator V601 (17g) was added and stirred for 10 minutes. The reaction system was heated to 65°C and reacted for 18h. After the polymerization was complete, the reaction system was cooled to room temperature.
[0118] The system was converted to a distillation apparatus. Methanol (150 g) was added to dilute the system, followed by the dropwise addition of triethylamine (15 g) and water (5 g). The system was heated to 62-65°C and allowed to react for 8 h (during which the acetyl group in the acetoxystyrene was removed, forming a hydroxyl group). The mixed solution was then slowly added dropwise to 5 L of deionized water to allow precipitation, yielding a solid compound. The solid compound was collected through 40# filter paper and then dissolved in tetrahydrofuran to approximately 20%. The compound was then again precipitated in 5 L of deionized water, and the above procedure was repeated twice. The solid compound was collected and dried in a vacuum oven at 45°C for 48 h, yielding a 4-hydroxystyrene-P-(1-ethoxyethoxy)styrene copolymer (111.15 g, weight-average molecular weight 11,900, molecular weight distribution coefficient 1.72).
