Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a rinse liquid composition for improving crack defects of a photoresist pattern in photolithography using extreme ultraviolet light as an exposure light source and a photoresist pattern forming method using the rinse liquid composition. Background Art
[0002] Generally, semiconductors are manufactured by photolithography using ultraviolet light in wavelengths such as 193nm, 248nm or 365nm as the exposure light source, and companies are competing fiercely to reduce the critical line width (hereinafter referred to as CD: Critical Dimension).
[0003] Therefore, in order to form finer patterns, a light source with a smaller wavelength band is required. Currently, photolithography technology using extreme ultraviolet (EUV, extreme ultra violet, wavelength of 13.5nm) light source is widely used, and by using it, a finer wavelength can be achieved.
[0004] However, the etching resistance of EUV photoresists has not been improved, and thus photoresist patterns with large aspect ratios continue to be required. Therefore, crack defects in the pattern are easily generated during development, resulting in a problem of significantly reducing the process margin in the manufacturing process.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a technology that can be used to improve the degree of crack defects generated in fine pattern formation. In order to improve the degree of pattern crack defects, the best way is to improve the performance of photoresists, but it cannot be ignored that it is currently difficult to develop new photoresists that meet all performance requirements.
[0006] Even though the need for newly developed photoresists remains, efforts are being made to improve the degree of pattern cracking by other methods.

[0012] Patent Document 5: 10-1771177B1 Summary of the invention
[0013] Technical issues to be solved
[0014] The object of the present invention is to provide a rinse liquid composition for improving the degree of crack defects in a pattern generated after photoresist development, and to provide a method for forming a photoresist pattern that can significantly reduce production costs by including a step of washing using the rinse liquid composition.
[0015] Solutions to the problem
[0016] Although various surfactants are being used in the aqueous type rinse liquid composition used in the development process, an effective rinse liquid composition is prepared by using a fluorine-based surfactant in the present invention.
[0017] When a hydrocarbon surfactant tending to be hydrophobic is used in a rinse liquid composition of an aqueous type mainly using ultrapure water, the hydrophobicization of the photoresist wall is induced, thereby being able to induce the reduction of dissolution (melting) and collapse of the pattern. However, due to the strong tendency of hydrocarbon surfactants to aggregate with each other, the physical properties of the rinse liquid composition become uneven, so there is the possibility of inducing defects (defects) by the aggregated hydrocarbon surfactants during use. That is, when a hydrocarbon surfactant is used, it is necessary to increase the amount used in order to improve dissolution, which has concerns about damage to the photoresist. In addition, when an unsuitable surfactant is used excessively for the purpose of reducing the surface tension of the rinse liquid composition in order to reduce capillary force, it is possible to further induce pattern collapse due to the dissolution of the induced pattern.
[0018] In the present invention, it is confirmed that the effect of improving the degree of pattern crack defects is excellent by using a fluorine-based surfactant and, on this basis, using a pattern enhancer which is a compound of chemical formula (1), a compound of chemical formula (2) or a mixture thereof, using a substance selected from the group consisting of a triol derivative, a tetraol derivative or a mixture thereof, and using water.
[0019] Chemical formula (1)
[0020]
[0021] In the above chemical formula (1),
[0022] X is fluorine, hydrogen or C1-C5 alkyl,
[0023] X forms a single bond,
[0024] l is 1~4, m and n are 1~3.
[0025] Chemical formula (2)
[0026]
[0027] In the above chemical formula (2),
[0028] X is fluorine, hydrogen or C1-C5 alkyl,
[0029] X forms a single bond,
[0030] o is 0~2.
[0031] As a representative developer used in most current photolithography development processes, pure water is used as a base, and tetramethylammonium hydroxide is diluted to a certain concentration (in most processes, 2.38 wt % tetramethylammonium hydroxide is mixed with 97.62 wt % water).
[0032] In the photolithography process, pattern crack defects were observed when the photoresist pattern was continuously washed with pure water alone after development. Pattern collapse was also observed when a rinse liquid composition containing tetramethylammonium hydroxide in pure water was continuously used after development or after being treated with pure water.
[0033] In the case of the rinse liquid composition containing tetramethylammonium hydroxide, it is presumed that the exposed fine pattern is weakened and the pattern collapses due to a large or uneven capillary force.
[0034] Therefore, in order to improve the collapse of the exposed pattern and further improve the line width roughness (LWR) and defects of the photoresist pattern required in the process, it is necessary to study a substance that has a relatively weaker effect on the exposed pattern than tetramethylammonium hydroxide.
[0035] In the present invention, it is confirmed that when a fluorine-based surfactant is used and, on this basis, a pattern enhancer which is a compound of the chemical formula (1), a compound of the chemical formula (2) or a mixture thereof and a substance selected from the group consisting of a triol derivative, a tetraol derivative or a mixture thereof is used, LWR or defects including pattern collapse are improved.
[0036] Therefore, as a preferred first specific example, the present invention provides a rinse liquid composition for improving the degree of crack defects in a photoresist pattern occurring during photoresist development, characterized in that the rinse liquid composition is composed of 0.0001 to 0.01 weight % of a fluorine-based surfactant, 0.0001 to 0.5 weight % of a pattern enhancer which is a compound of formula (1), a compound of formula (2) or a mixture thereof, 0.0001 to 0.5 weight % of a substance selected from the group consisting of a triol derivative, a tetraol derivative or a mixture thereof, and the remainder is water.

[0038] Furthermore, as the most preferred third specific example, the present invention provides a rinse liquid composition for improving the degree of crack defects in a photoresist pattern occurring during photoresist development, characterized in that the rinse liquid composition is composed of 0.0001 to 0.01 weight % of a fluorine-based surfactant, 0.01 to 0.5 weight % of a pattern enhancer which is a compound of formula (1), a compound of formula (2) or a mixture thereof, 0.0001 to 0.5 weight % of a substance selected from the group consisting of a triol derivative, a tetraol derivative or a mixture thereof, and the remainder is water.
[0039] The fluorine-based surfactant according to the above specific example can be selected from the group consisting of fluoroacrylcarboxylate, fluoroalkyl ether, fluoroalkylene ether, fluoroalkyl sulfate, fluoroalkylphosphate, fluoroacryl co-polymer, fluoroco-polymer, perfluorinated acid, perfluorinated carboxylate, perfluorinated sulfonate or a mixture thereof.
[0040] The triol derivative substance according to the above specific example is a substance composed of C3 to C10, and can be selected from 1,2,3-propanetriol, 1,2,4-butanetriol, 1,1,4-butanetriol, 1,3,5-pentanetriol, 1,2,5-pentanetriol, 2,3,4-pentanetriol, 1,2,3-hexanetriol, 1,2,6-hexanetriol, 1,3,4-hexanetriol, 1,4,5-hexanetriol, 2,3,4-hexanetriol, 1,2,3-heptanetriol, 1,2,4-heptanetriol, 1,2,6-heptanetriol, 1,3,5-heptanetriol, 1,4,7-heptanetriol, 2,3,4-heptanetriol, 2,4,6-heptanetriol, 1,2,8-octantriol, 1,3,5-octantriol, 1,4,7 -octantriol, butane-1,1,1-triol, 2-methyl-1,2,3-propanetriol, 5-methylhexane-1,2,3-triol, 2,6-dimethyl-3-heptene-2,4,6-triol, benzene-1,3,5-triol, 2-methyl-benzene-1,2,3-triol, 5-methyl-benzene-1,2,3-triol, 2,4,6-trimethylbenzene-1,3,5-triol, naphthalene-1,4,5-triol, 5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalene-1,6,7-triol, 5-hydroxymethylbenzene-1,2,3-triol, 5-isopropyl-2-methyl-5-cyclohexene-1,2,4-triol, 4-isopropyl-4-cyclohexene-1,2,3-triol or a mixture thereof.
[0041] The tetraol derivative substance according to the above specific example is a substance composed of C4 to C14, selected from 1,2,3,4-butanetetrol, 1,2,3,4-pentanetetrol, 1,2,4,5-pentanetetrol, 1,2,3,4-hexanetetrol, 1,2,3,5-hexanetetrol, 1,2,3,6-hexanetetrol, 1,2,4,5-hexanetetrol, 1,2,4,6-hexanetetrol, 1,2,5,6-hexanetetrol, 1,3,4,5-hexanetetrol, 1,3,4,6-hexanetetrol, 2,3,4,5-hexanetetrol, 1,2,3,6-hexanetetrol, 1,2,4,5-hexanetetrol, 1,2,4,6-hexanetetrol, 1,2,5,6-hexanetetrol, 1,3,4,5-hexanetetrol, 1,3,4,6-hexanetetrol, 2,3,4,5-hexanetetrol, 1,2,3,4 The group consisting of 6,7-heptetrol, 2,3,4,5-heptetrol, 1,1,1,2-octanetrol, 1,2,7,8-octanetrol, 1,2,3,8-octanetrol, 1,3,5,7-octanetrol, 2,3,5,7-octanetrol, 4,5,6,7-octanetrol, 3,7-dimethyl-3-octen-1,2,6,7-tetrol, 3-hexyne-1,2,5,6-tetrol, 2,5-dimethyl-3-hexyne-1,2,5,6-tetrol, anthracene-1,4,9,10-tetrol or mixtures thereof.
[0042] In addition, the present invention also provides a method for forming a photoresist pattern, which is characterized in that it includes the following steps: (a) coating a photoresist on a semiconductor substrate to form a film; (b) exposing the photoresist film and then developing it to form a pattern; and (c) washing the photoresist pattern using a rinsing liquid composition for improving crack defects in the photoresist pattern.
[0043] The cause of pattern collapse is believed to be the capillary force generated between patterns when the patterns are washed with pure water after development. However, after long-term and numerous studies, it has been found that simply reducing the capillary force cannot perfectly improve pattern collapse and reduce the number of defects.
[0044] When an inappropriate surfactant is used excessively for the purpose of reducing the surface tension of the rinse liquid composition in order to reduce the capillary force, dissolution of the pattern may be induced, thereby further inducing pattern crack defects.
[0045] In order to improve the pattern crack defect, it is important to select a surfactant that can reduce the surface tension of the rinse composition while preventing the dissolution of the photoresist pattern.
[0046] The rinse liquid composition of the present invention exhibits an excellent effect on a photoresist, and in particular has an effect of improving crack defects in a pattern generated during development of a photoresist.
[0047] Effects of the Invention
[0048] The rinsing liquid composition of the present invention has the effect of improving the degree of crack defects in the pattern, which is an effect that cannot be achieved by using photoresist alone when forming a pattern using photoresist. In particular, the photoresist pattern forming method including the use of such a rinsing liquid composition for a washing step shows the effect of significantly reducing production costs.
