Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a composition, a resin composition, a film-forming composition, a pattern forming method and a compound. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, in the manufacture of semiconductor elements and liquid crystal display elements, the miniaturization of semiconductors (patterns) and pixels has been rapidly developing due to the progress of photolithography technology. Due to the miniaturization of pixels, the wavelength of the usual exposure light source is being shortened. Specifically, although ultraviolet rays represented by g-rays and i-rays have been used in the past, the method of using far ultraviolet rays such as KrF excimer lasers (248nm) and ArF excimer lasers (193nm) for exposure has become the center of mass production, and the introduction of extreme ultraviolet (EUV: Extreme Ultraviolet) lithography (13.5nm) is being carried out. In addition, electron beams (EB: Electron Beam) are also used to form fine patterns.

[0003] So far, the common resist material is a polymer resist material that can form an amorphous film. For example, polymer resist compositions such as polymethyl methacrylate, polyhydroxystyrene or polyalkyl methacrylate having an acid dissociable group can be cited (for example, refer to non-patent document 1). In the past, a line pattern of about 10 to 100 nm was formed by coating a solution of these resist compositions on a substrate and irradiating the produced resist film with ultraviolet rays, far ultraviolet rays, electron beams, extreme ultraviolet rays, etc.

[0004] In addition, in photolithography using electron beams or extreme ultraviolet rays, the reaction mechanism is different from that of conventional photolithography (Non-patent Document 2, Non-patent Document 3). Furthermore, in photolithography using electron beams or extreme ultraviolet rays, the goal is to form a fine pattern of several nm to several tens of nm. In this way, when the size of the resist pattern becomes smaller, a highly sensitive resist composition is further sought for the exposure light source. In particular, in photolithography using extreme ultraviolet rays, further high sensitivity is sought in terms of productivity.

[0005] As a resist material for improving the above-mentioned problems, a resist composition containing a metal complex such as titanium, tin, hafnium or zirconium has been proposed (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).

[0006] In addition, when the size of the resist pattern becomes smaller, a resist composition with high sensitivity to the exposure light source is further sought, and a resist composition using 4-hydroxystyrene containing iodine as its raw material monomer has been proposed (for example, refer to Patent Documents 2 to 3). In addition, the present inventors have proposed a resist composition with excellent exposure sensitivity (for example, Patent Document 4).

In addition, when the amount of the acid diffusion controller (E) is less than 10% by mass, there is a tendency to prevent the sensitivity, the developability of the unexposed part, etc. from being reduced. In addition, by using this acid diffusion controller, there is a tendency that the storage stability of the resist composition is improved, and the resolution is improved, and the line width change of the resist pattern caused by the change of the waiting time before radiation irradiation and the waiting time after radiation irradiation can be suppressed, and the process stability becomes excellent.

[0433] (Sensitizer)

[0434] The sensitizer is a component that absorbs the energy of the irradiated radiation and transfers the energy to the acid generator (C), thereby increasing the amount of acid generated and improving the apparent sensitivity of the resist. Examples of such sensitizers include benzophenones, diacetyl groups, pyrenes, phenothiazines, fluorenes, etc., but are not particularly limited. These sensitizers can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

As such additives, for example, dyes, pigments and bonding aids can be listed. For example, when a dye or a pigment is mixed, the latent image of the exposure portion is visualized, and the influence of the halo during exposure can be alleviated, so it is preferred. In addition, when a bonding aid is mixed, the adhesion to the substrate can be improved, so it is preferred. Furthermore, as other additives, halo preventers, storage stabilizers, defoamers, shape modifiers, etc. can be listed, specifically 4-hydroxy-4'-methyl chalcone, etc.

[0445] [Method for forming resist pattern]

[0446] The method for forming the resist pattern of the present embodiment includes:

[0447] a step of forming a resist film on a substrate using the film-forming composition of the present embodiment;

[0448] A step of exposing the resist film pattern; and

[0449] A step of developing the resist film after the exposure.

[0450] The film-forming composition of the present embodiment contains, for example, the compound (A) or the polymer (A) and the compound (B), as described above.

[0451] There is no particular limitation on the coating method in the process of forming the resist film, and examples thereof include a spin coater, a dip coater, and a roll coater. There is no particular limitation on the substrate, and examples thereof include a silicon wafer, a metal, a plastic, a glass, and a ceramic. After the resist film is formed, a heat treatment may be performed at a temperature of about 50° C. to 200° C. The film thickness of the resist film is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include 50 nm to 1 μm.

[0452] In the exposure process, exposure can be performed across a prescribed mask pattern, or unit (shot) exposure can be performed without a mask. The thickness of the coating is, for example, 0.1 to 20 μm, preferably about 0.3 to 2 μm. Light of various wavelengths, such as ultraviolet rays, X-rays, etc., can be used in the exposure. For example, as a light source, far ultraviolet rays, extreme ultraviolet rays (wavelength 13n), X-rays, electron beams, etc. such as F2 excimer lasers (wavelength 157nm), ArF excimer lasers (wavelength 193nm), and KrF excimer lasers (wavelength 248nm) are appropriately selected. Among these, extreme ultraviolet rays are preferred. In addition, exposure conditions such as exposure amount are appropriately selected according to the compounding composition of the above-mentioned resins and / or compounds, the types of various additives, etc.

[0453] In this embodiment, in order to stably form a fine pattern with high precision, it is preferred to perform a heat treatment at a temperature of 50 to 200° C. for more than 30 seconds after exposure. At this time, when the temperature is less than 50° C., there is a concern that the sensitivity unevenness caused by the type of substrate will expand. Then, the alkali developer is used to develop under the conditions of usually 10 to 50° C. for 10 to 200 seconds, preferably 20 to 25° C. for 15 to 90 seconds, thereby forming a predetermined resist pattern.

[0454] As the above-mentioned alkaline developer, for example, an alkaline aqueous solution obtained by dissolving alkaline compounds such as alkali metal hydroxides, ammonia water, alkylamines, alkanolamines, heterocyclic amines, tetraalkylammonium hydroxides, choline, 1,8-diazabicyclo-[5.4.0]-7-undecene, 1,5-diazabicyclo-[4.3.0]-5-nonene in a concentration of usually 1 to 10% by mass, preferably 1 to 3% by mass, is used. In addition, a water-soluble organic solvent or a surfactant may be appropriately added to the developer formed by the above-mentioned alkaline aqueous solution.

[0455] The composition of the present embodiment can also be used as an optical component forming composition for applying photolithography. The optical component can be used not only in a film-like or sheet-like form, but also as a plastic lens (prism lens, cylindrical lens, microlens, Fresnel lens, field angle control lens, contrast enhancement lens, etc.), a phase difference film, an electromagnetic shielding film, a prism, an optical fiber, a solder resist for flexible printed wiring, a plating resist, an interlayer insulating film for a multilayer printed circuit board, a photosensitive optical waveguide, a liquid crystal display, an organic electroluminescent (EL) display, a light semiconductor (LED) element, a solid-state imaging element, an organic thin film solar cell, a dye-sensitized solar cell, and an organic thin film transistor (TFT). The aforementioned composition can be suitably used as a member of a solid-state imaging element particularly requiring a high refractive index, a buried film on a photodiode and a flattening film, a flattening film before and after a color filter, a microlens, a flattening film on a microlens, and a conformal film.

[0456] In addition, the composition of the present embodiment can be used as a patterning material for photolithography purposes. As the purpose of photolithography, it can be used for various purposes such as semiconductors, liquid crystal display panels, display panels using OLED, power devices, CCD or other sensors. When facing the integrated circuit of semiconductors and devices in particular, the composition of the present embodiment can be suitably used for the following purposes: forming device elements on silicon wafers, based on the pattern formed by the composition of the present embodiment on the upper surface side of insulating layers such as silicon oxide films and other oxide films, by etching the insulating film on the substrate side to form a pattern, and then based on the insulating film pattern formed, stacking metal films and semiconductor materials, forming a circuit pattern, thereby constructing semiconductor elements or other devices.

[0799] The sensitivity over time was evaluated by the same method as EUV sensitivity-TMAH aqueous solution development. The evaluation results are shown in Table 8.

[0800] (EB pattern-organic solvent development)

[0801] The compound or polymer obtained in the example or comparative example was prepared by the same method as the EB pattern-TMAH aqueous solution development, coated on a silicon wafer, and baked at 110-130° C. for 60 seconds to form a resist film with a film thickness of 100 nm.

[0802] Next, the pattern was exposed using an electron beam lithography apparatus "ELS-7500" (product name, manufactured by ELIONIX INC., 50 keV), baked (PEB) at 115°C for 90 seconds, and developed using a 2.38 mass % tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) aqueous solution for 60 seconds to obtain a negative pattern. It should be noted that the exposure amount was adjusted so as to obtain a half-pitch 50 nm line and space.

[0803] The obtained resist pattern was imaged with a scanning electron microscope "S-4800" (product name, manufactured by Hitachi, Ltd.) at a magnification of 100,000 times to obtain 80 pattern images, and the number of residues in the space between the resist patterns was counted and evaluated based on the total amount of residues. The evaluation criteria are as follows.

[0804] (Evaluation Criteria)

[0805] A: The number of residues ≤ 10

[0806] B: 10 < Number of residues ≤ 80

[0807] C: 80 <Number of residues ≤ 400

[0808] D: 400 < the number of residues
