With the further development of semiconductor device processing, the diversification and high integration of semiconductor packaging, deeper etching of semiconductor devices are required to form fine wirings, and the density of protruding electrodes, metal pillars, etc. is further increased.

[0064] As used herein, the terms:

[0065] "Prepared from" is synonymous with "comprising". The terms "comprising", "including", "having", "containing" or any other variation thereof as used herein are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a composition, step, method, article or apparatus comprising the listed elements is not necessarily limited to those elements, but may include other elements not expressly listed or elements inherent to such composition, step, method, article or apparatus.

[0066] The conjunctive "consisting of" excludes any unrecited element, step or component. If used in a claim, this phrase will render the claim closed, excluding materials other than those described, except for conventional impurities associated therewith. When the phrase "consisting of" appears in a clause of the claim body rather than immediately following the subject, it only limits the elements described in that clause; other elements are not excluded from the claim as a whole.

[0067] When an equivalent, concentration, or other value or parameter is expressed as a range, a preferred range, or a range defined by a series of upper preferred values and lower preferred values, this should be understood to specifically disclose all ranges formed by any pairing of any range upper limit or preferred value with any range lower limit or preferred value, whether or not the ranges are separately disclosed. For example, when the range "1 to 5" is disclosed, the described range should be interpreted to include the ranges "1 to 4", "1 to 3", "1 to 2", "1 to 2 and 4 to 5", "1 to 3 and 5", etc. When a numerical range is described herein, unless otherwise stated, the range is intended to include its end values and all integers and fractions within the range.

[0068] In these examples, unless otherwise specified, the parts and percentages are by mass.

[0069] "Parts by mass" refers to the basic measurement unit representing the mass ratio relationship of multiple components. 1 part can represent any unit mass, such as 1 g or 2.689 g, etc. If we say that the mass part of component A is a parts and the mass part of component B is b parts, it means the mass ratio of component A to component B is a:b. Or, it means the mass of component A is aK and the mass of component B is bK (K is any number representing a multiple factor). It should not be misunderstood that, different from the number of parts by mass, the sum of the mass parts of all components is not limited to 100 parts.

[0070] "And / or" is used to indicate that one or both of the stated situations may occur. For example, A and / or B includes (A and B) and (A or B).

[0071] This application provides a chemically amplified positive photoresist. Its raw materials, by weight, include:

[0072] 10 parts - 30 parts of a first resin, 20 parts - 60 parts of a second resin, 10 parts - 70 parts of a third resin, 0.1 part - 2 parts of a photoacid, 5 parts - 10 parts of an additive, and a solvent;

[0078]

[0079] One or more of;

[0080] Among them, R 1 -R 10 Are each independently a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group with 1 - 5 carbon atoms, or a halogenated alkyl group with 1 - 5 carbon atoms;

[0081] X is a cycloalkyl group with 5 - 10 carbon atoms.

[0082] In some embodiments, the structural units of the first resin include:

[0083]

[0084] One or more of;

[0085] Among them, R α Includes a hydrogen atom, a linear or branched alkyl group composed of 1 - 5 carbon atoms, or a halogenated alkyl group composed of 1 - 5 carbon atoms;

[0086] Exemplarily, the linear or branched alkyl group composed of 1 - 5 carbon atoms includes methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n - butyl, isobutyl, tert - butyl, pentyl, isopentyl, or neopentyl, and all or part of the hydrogen atoms in the halogenated alkyl group composed of 1 - 5 carbon atoms are replaced by halogen atoms;

[0087] All or part of the hydrogen atoms bonded to the carbon atom at the α - position in the structural unit are replaced or not replaced by halogen atoms.

[0088] It should be noted that the structural unit of the first resin selected above has good film-forming properties, which helps to improve the coating quality of the photoresist and the accuracy of pattern transfer; the acrylic resin has a high transmittance at wavelengths of 248 nm and 365 nm, which can meet the requirements of high-resolution lithography; in addition, by introducing groups such as adamantane and polycyclic lactones, the etching resistance of the photoresist can be improved; the acrylic resin itself is insoluble in alkaline developer. In some embodiments, the general structural formula of the polyhydroxystyrene resin is as follows:

[0089]

[0090] Wherein, R is a hydrogen atom, a linear or branched alkyl group with 1-5 carbon atoms or a haloalkyl group with 1-5 carbon atoms;

[0091] A is a single bond, a divalent hydrocarbon group or a divalent linking group containing heteroatoms;

[0095]

[0096] One or more of;

[0097] Wherein, R α Is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group with 1-5 carbon atoms or a haloalkyl group with 1-5 carbon atoms.

[0098] It should be noted that the above polyhydroxystyrene resin itself is soluble in alkaline developer. By introducing hydrophobic protecting groups such as acetal or t-Boc, it can be insoluble in the developer before exposure, but after light exposure, the photoacid decomposition will catalyze the deprotection reaction of the resin, thus becoming alkali-soluble and realizing high-contrast pattern transfer; at the same time, it has good thermal stability and chemical stability, and the benzene ring structure endows PHS with good resistance to plasma etching, providing good adhesion, flexibility and corrosion resistance in the photoresist formulation.

[0099] In some embodiments, the photoacid includes ionic photoacid and / or non-ionic photoacid.

[0100] It should be noted that when the ionic photoacid and the non-ionic photoacid are used in combination, the sensitivity, resolution can be improved, the residual gum can be reduced, and the corrosion of the metal substrate can be prevented.

[0107] R 14 is CF3SO3 - 、[(C2F5)3PF3] - 、[B(C6F5)4] - one of them;

[0108] B. The general structural formula of the non-ionic photoacid is as follows:

[0111] The aliphatic hydrocarbon group and perfluoroalkyl group with 1 to 10 carbon atoms are substituted or unsubstituted by at least one of a halogen atom, an alkylthio group, and an alicyclic hydrocarbon group;

[0112] The aryl group with 6 to 20 carbon atoms is substituted or unsubstituted by at least one of a halogen atom, an alkylthio group, an alkyl group, and an acyl group;

[0113] The aralkyl group with 7 to 20 carbon atoms is substituted or unsubstituted by a halogen atom and an alkylthio group;

[0114] R 16 is one of O, N, S, P, a straight-chain, branched-chain or cyclic hydrocarbon group;

[0115] C. The mass ratio of the ionic photoacid to the non-ionic photoacid is 0.5 - 1:0.1 - 1.

[0118]

[0119]

[0120] one or more of the following.

[0121] It should be noted that the above-mentioned ionic photoacids are selected for their high acid strength and reactivity. In particular, the ionic photoacids containing sulfonate anions have a low acid pKa, can efficiently catalyze the deprotection reaction, regulate the dissolution rate of the photoresist in the developer, and improve the contrast; sulfonium salts and iodonium salts are stable at room temperature and are not easily decomposed, which is beneficial to the storage of the photoresist and process control.

[0122] In some embodiments, the non-ionic photoacid includes:

[0123]

[0124] one or more of the following.

[0125] It should be noted that the above-mentioned non-ionic photoacids have a low metal ion or halogen content, a relatively large molecular weight, and a low diffusion rate, which helps to reduce pattern blur caused by acid diffusion and improve edge roughness.

[0164] Table 1 Photoresist Raw Materials and Their Amounts

[0165]

[0166] Mix the raw materials provided in the above-mentioned examples and comparative examples together and dissolve them fully to separately prepare photoresists.

[0167] Prepare a photoresist film from the above-mentioned photoresist. The specific method is as follows:

[0168] Perform hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) treatment on an 8-inch silicon wafer to obtain a coated substrate. Coating each photoresist composition of the examples and comparative examples on the substrate by spin coating (pre-rotation speed + main rotation speed), and then performing heat treatment to remove the solvent (PAB: 130 °C, 90 s) to form a photoresist film with a film thickness of 4 μm; then selectively expose the photoresist through a mask using a Nikon I-line stepper exposure machine, with an exposure energy of 150 mJ / cm 2 , and then place it on a hot plate at 110 °C for post-exposure baking (PEB: 110 °C, 60 s); immediately use a development device track 8 to perform spray development with 2.38 wt% tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) base at 23 °C for 60 s, and finally rinse with deionized water for 30 s to obtain the L / S pattern corresponding to the mask.

[0169] Perform photoresist performance testing on the photoresist film prepared above. The test results are shown in Table 2. The specific test method is as follows:

[0170] Observe the morphology, resolution, adhesion, and process window of the exposed film prepared by the above operations on equipment such as CD-SEM and SEM; immerse the complete developed pattern in an acid copper plating solution at room temperature, and then take it out and observe whether the morphology changes through OM to verify the anti-plating solution characteristics of the photoresist composition.

[0171] Among them, for the resolution test: Observe the photoresist pattern obtained by the above operations on OM and SEM. The film thickness is 4 μm, and measure the minimum opening size.

[0172] For the adhesion test: Observe the exposed film prepared by the above operations. If the pattern completely remains on the substrate, it shows ok; if there is glue peeling, glue pouring, or the pattern is washed off, it shows no.

[0173] For the graphic morphology test: Observe the cross-section of the exposed film prepared by the above operations through SEM. The graphic morphology passes the standard evaluation as Figure 1 shown. The left figure is qualified and is represented by a, the intermediate and the right figure are unqualified and are represented by b and c respectively; among them, the cross-section of the exposed film slice prepared in Example 1 is as Figure 2 shown.

[0174] Sensitivity test: The 8-inch silicon wafer was treated with hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) to obtain a coated substrate. Each photoresist composition of the examples and comparative examples was spin-coated (pre-rotation speed + main rotation speed) on the substrate, and then heat-treated to remove the solvent (PAB: 130 °C, 90 s) to form a photoresist film with a thickness of 4 μm. Then, a Nikon I-line stepper exposure machine was used to selectively expose the photoresist through a mask, and then it was placed on a hot plate at 110 °C for post-exposure baking (PEB: 110 °C, 60 s). Immediately afterwards, a developing device track 8 was used to perform spray development with 2.38 wt% tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) base at 23 °C for 60 s, and finally rinsed with deionized water for 30 s to obtain the corresponding L / S pattern of the mask. Then, the exposure amount at which the photoresist pattern was completely opened, that is, the minimum exposure amount for forming the photoresist pattern, was defined as the sensitivity.

[0175] Electroplating resistance: The prepared photoresist silicon wafer was cut into a size of 5 cm × 5 cm, and then immersed in an acid copper electroplating solution at room temperature for 1 h. The morphology of the photoresist was observed by OM to verify the electroplating resistance of the photoresist. If the morphology did not change, it was shown as ok; if the lines fell off or deformed, it was shown as no.

[0176] Film thickness loss: The film thickness dimension T1 was measured after coating and baking, and the film thickness dimension T2 was measured after exposure and development. If T1 - T2 < 0.2 μm, it was shown as ok; if T1 - T2 ≥ 0.2 μm, it was shown as no.

[0177] Table 2 Performance test

[0178]

[0179]

[0180] Analysis:

[0181] It can be seen from the test results that the photoresist composition obtained by mixing acrylic resin, phenolic resin and polyhydroxystyrene resin has good adhesion to the substrate and electroplating resistance, reduces film thickness loss and improves the line morphology at the same time. After adding both ionic photoacid and non-ionic photoacid to the formulation, the resolution and sensitivity of the photoresist are effectively improved.
