[0002] Photoresist is the core consumable material for integrated circuit manufacturing and is also a key factor affecting the performance, yield and reliability of integrated circuits. According to the chemical reaction mechanism and development principle of photoresist, photoresist can be divided into positive photoresist and negative photoresist. The exposed area of ​​positive photoresist will undergo photolysis reaction, causing the photoresist to degrade into substances that can be dissolved in the developer. The exposed area of ​​negative photoresist will undergo cross-linking reaction, making the photoresist insoluble in the developer, while the photoresist in the non-exposed area can be dissolved in the developer.

[0003] G / I line photoresist uses linear phenolic resin as the main resin and diazonaphthoquinone as the photosensitizer. The pattern of the mask is transferred and copied to the wafer through photolithography processes such as exposure and development.

[0086] Test Case

[0087] The polymers and photoresist compositions prepared in the above synthesis examples, embodiments and comparative examples were tested for alkali dissolution rate, thermal stability (Tg) and resolution according to the following methods. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0088] (1) Alkali dissolution rate test: The polymer prepared in the above synthesis example was dissolved in propylene glycol methyl ether acetate (PGMEA) to prepare a solution with a solid content of 30%. The solution was applied to a silicon wafer at a coating speed of 1800 r / min on a coating developer, and the film thickness was tested by heating at 100°C for 1 min. The silicon wafer was then developed in a static immersion manner with a 2.38% tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) solution for 30 s. The developer was then statically rinsed off with ultrapure water, and then dried at 110°C. The film thickness of the silicon wafer was tested again, and the alkali dissolution rate of the photoresist was calculated by the formula [alkali dissolution rate (ADR) = film thickness difference before and after development / development time].

[0089] (2) Thermal stability (Tg) test: The Tg of the polymer was tested using a Perkin Elmer DSC8000 differential scanning calorimeter.

[0090] (3) Resolution test: A wafer coated with silicon dioxide was taken, and the photoresist composition prepared in the above embodiments and comparative examples was spin-coated on the surface to a coating thickness of 1.5 μm. The wafer was heated at 100° C. for 1 min to form a photoresist layer of a certain thickness. The mask was provided with a line width of 0.1 to 3 μm, and the ratio of the line width to the grating spacing was 1:1. The wafer was exposed under a 365 nm light source. A 2.38% tetramethylammonium hydroxide solution was then used as a developer for 60 seconds, and the wafer was rinsed and fixed with deionized water to obtain a corresponding photolithography pattern. The resolution of the micro-photolithography pattern was tested using a scanning electron microscope.
