Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a composition used in a lithography process in semiconductor manufacturing, particularly in the lithography processes at the forefront (such as ArF, EUV, EB, etc.). Furthermore, it relates to a method for manufacturing a substrate with a resist pattern to which the above-mentioned underlayer resist film is applied, and a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device. Background Art

[0002] Hitherto, in the manufacture of semiconductor devices, fine processing has been carried out by lithography using a resist composition. The above-mentioned fine processing is a method of forming a thin film of a photoresist composition on a semiconductor substrate such as a silicon wafer, irradiating active light such as ultraviolet light through a mask pattern depicting a device pattern thereon, developing, and using the resulting photoresist pattern as a protective film to etch the substrate, thereby forming fine irregularities corresponding to the above pattern on the substrate surface. In recent years, with the progress of high integration of semiconductor devices, in addition to the conventionally used i-ray (wavelength 365 nm), KrF excimer laser (wavelength 248 nm), and ArF excimer laser (wavelength 193 nm), the practical application of EUV light (wavelength 13.5 nm) or EB (electron beam) has been studied in the forefront fine processing. In order to control the shape of the resist pattern, a method of forming an underlayer resist film layer between the resist and the semiconductor substrate has been widely used.

[0008] Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0009] As characteristics required for an underlayer resist film, for example, non-mixing with the resist film formed on the upper layer (insoluble in the resist solvent) and a faster dry etching rate compared to the resist film can be cited.

[0010] In the case of lithography accompanied by EUV exposure, the line width of the formed resist pattern becomes 32 nm or less, and the underlayer film for EUV exposure is formed with a thinner film thickness than in the past. When forming such a thin film, due to the influence of the substrate surface, the polymers used, etc., pinholes, aggregation, etc. are likely to occur, and it is difficult to form a uniform film without defects.

[0011] On the other hand, when forming a resist pattern, in the development process, a method is sometimes adopted in which the unexposed portion of the resist film is removed using a solvent capable of dissolving the resist film, usually an organic solvent, and the exposed portion of the resist film is left as a resist pattern. In such a negative development process, improving the adhesion of the resist pattern becomes a major issue.

[0012] In addition, it is required to suppress the deterioration of LWR (Line Width Roughness, line width roughness, fluctuation of line width (roughness)) during the formation of the resist pattern, to form a resist pattern with a good rectangular shape, and to improve the resist sensitivity.

[0089] <EUV Resist Underlayer Film>

[0090] The EUV resist underlayer film of the present invention can be manufactured by coating the above composition for forming an underlayer film of an EUV resist on a semiconductor substrate and then baking it.

[0091] Examples of the semiconductor substrate for coating the composition for forming an underlayer film of a resist of the present invention include silicon wafers, germanium wafers, and compound semiconductor wafers such as gallium arsenide, indium phosphide, gallium nitride, indium nitride, and aluminum nitride.

[0092] In the case of a semiconductor substrate having an inorganic film formed on its surface, the inorganic film is formed, for example, by an ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition) method, a CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) method, a reactive sputtering method, an ion plating method, a vacuum evaporation method, or a spin coating method (spin-on glass: SOG).

[0093] On such a semiconductor substrate, the composition for forming an underlayer film of a resist of the present invention is coated by an appropriate coating method such as a spinner or a coater. Then, baking is performed using a heating means such as a hot plate to form an underlayer film of a resist. As the baking conditions, appropriate selection is made from a baking temperature of 100°C to 400°C and a baking time of 0.3 minutes to 60 minutes. Preferably, the baking temperature is 120°C to 350°C and the baking time is 0.5 minutes to 30 minutes, and more preferably, the baking temperature is 150°C to 300°C and the baking time is 0.8 minutes to 10 minutes.

[0094] The film thickness of the formed EUV resist underlayer film is, for example, 0.001 μm (1 nm) to 10 μm, 0.002 μm (2 nm) to 1 μm, 0.005 μm (5 nm) to 0.5 μm (500 nm), 0.001 μm (1 nm) to 0.05 μm (50 nm), 0.002 μm (2 nm) to 0.05 μm (50 nm), 0.003 μm (1 nm) to 0.05 μm (50 nm), 0.004 μm (4 nm) to 0.05 μm (50 nm), 0.005 μm (5 nm) to 0.05 μm (50 nm), 0.003 μm (3 nm) to 0.03 μm (30 nm), 0.003 μm (3 nm) to 0.02 μm (20 nm), 0.005 μm (5 nm) to 0.02 μm (20 nm). When the temperature during baking is lower than the above range, crosslinking becomes insufficient. On the other hand, when the temperature during baking is higher than the above range, the underlayer film of the resist may be decomposed by heat.

[0095] <Method for manufacturing a substrate having a pattern formed thereon, method for manufacturing a semiconductor device>

[0096] The manufacturing method of a substrate on which a pattern is formed goes through the following processes. Generally, it is manufactured by forming a photoresist layer on an EUV resist underlayer film. As the photoresist formed by coating and baking on the EUV resist underlayer film by a method known per se, there is no particular limitation as long as it is sensitive to the light used for exposure. Both negative photoresists and positive photoresists can be used. There are positive photoresists composed of novolak resin and 1,2-naphthoquinone diazide sulfonate, chemically amplified photoresists composed of a binder having a group that increases the alkali dissolution rate by decomposition with acid and a photoacid generator, chemically amplified photoresists composed of a low molecular compound that increases the alkali dissolution rate of the photoresist by decomposition with acid, an alkali-soluble binder, and a photoacid generator, and chemically amplified photoresists composed of a binder having a group that increases the alkali dissolution rate by decomposition with acid, a low molecular compound that increases the alkali dissolution rate of the photoresist by decomposition with acid, and a photoacid generator, resists containing a metal element, etc. For example, products with trade names V146G manufactured by JSR Corporation, APEX-E manufactured by Shipley Company, PAR710 manufactured by Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd., AR2772 and SEPR430 manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. can be cited.

[0141] Exposure is performed through a mask (reticle) for forming a prescribed pattern, using, for example, i-ray, KrF excimer laser, ArF excimer laser, EUV (extreme ultraviolet), or EB (electron beam). However, the composition for forming an underlayer film of a resist of the present application is preferably applied to EUV (extreme ultraviolet) exposure. Development is performed using an alkaline developer, appropriately selected from a development temperature of 5°C to 50°C and a development time of 10 seconds to 300 seconds. As the alkaline developer, for example, inorganic bases such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium silicate, sodium metasilicate, and ammonia water, primary amines such as ethylamine and n-propylamine, secondary amines such as diethylamine and di-n-butylamine, tertiary amines such as triethylamine and methyldiethylamine, alkanolamines such as dimethylethanolamine and triethanolamine, quaternary ammonium salts such as tetramethylammonium hydroxide, tetraethylammonium hydroxide, and choline, and cyclic amines such as pyrrole and piperidine can be used. Further, alcohols such as isopropanol and surfactants such as nonionic surfactants can be appropriately added to the aqueous solution of the above-mentioned bases and used. Among them, a preferred developer is a quaternary ammonium salt, and more preferably tetramethylammonium hydroxide and choline. Further, a surfactant or the like can be added to these developers. Instead of using an alkaline developer, development can also be performed using an organic solvent such as butyl acetate to develop the portion where the base dissolution rate of the photoresist is not increased. Through the above steps, a substrate with the resist patterned can be manufactured.

[0142] Next, using the formed resist pattern as a mask, dry etching is performed on the above-mentioned underlayer film of the resist. At this time, when the inorganic film is formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate used, the surface of the inorganic film is exposed. When the inorganic film is not formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate used, the surface of the semiconductor substrate is exposed. Then, through the step of processing the substrate by a method known per se (dry etching method, etc.), a semiconductor device can be manufactured.

On this resist underlayer film, a positive resist solution for EUV (containing a methacrylic acid-based polymer) was spin-coated and heated at 130 °C for 60 seconds to form an EUV resist film.
