Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of photolithography materials technology, specifically relating to a class of adamantane-based polybenzyl bromide or polybenzyl iodide monomolecular resin photoresists, their preparation methods, and applications. Background Technology

[0002] Photoresist, also known as photoresist, is a key material in the manufacture of integrated circuits. Its performance directly affects the integration density, operating speed, and power consumption of integrated circuit chips. With the rapid development of the semiconductor industry, the integration density of semiconductor devices is increasing, and the resolution requirements for photolithography technology are also increasing. According to Rayleigh's law, reducing the wavelength of the exposure light source is beneficial for forming higher resolution patterns. Currently, photolithography technology has evolved from early ultraviolet lithography and deep ultraviolet lithography to the current extreme ultraviolet lithography. The most advanced extreme ultraviolet lithography technology places more stringent requirements on the resolution, sensitivity, line edge roughness, and etching resistance of photoresists. Based on different molecular structures, extreme ultraviolet photoresists are mainly divided into polymeric photoresists, organic-inorganic hybrid photoresists, and monomolecular resin-based photoresists. Polymeric photoresists, due to their large molecular volume, uneven molecular weight distribution, and entanglement between molecular chains, are difficult to meet the requirements of low line edge roughness and high resolution. Although organic-inorganic hybrid photoresists improve resolution to some extent, their preparation process is complex and costly. Monomolecular resin-type photoresists have a well-defined molecular structure and small molecular size, which ensures their uniform dispersion in the photoresist system and is expected to achieve higher resolution and LER.

[0003] Based on their different solubility transformation mechanisms, photoresists can be divided into chemically amplified photoresists (CAR) and non-chemically amplified photoresists (n-CAR). Chemically amplified photoresists primarily achieve solubility changes before and after exposure through their peripherally modified acid-sensitive groups. This type of photoresist contains multiple components such as the host material, acid-generating agent, and acid-diffusion inhibitor, which can easily lead to uneven component distribution and acid diffusion, reducing the resolution of the lithographic pattern. Non-chemically amplified photoresists mainly rely on peripherally modified photosensitive groups to achieve solubility changes; their "single-component" characteristic helps them achieve higher resolution.

[0004] Therefore, non-chemically amplified monomolecular resin-based photoresists have advantages in high-resolution lithography. Currently, the reaction mechanisms of non-chemically amplified photoresists mainly include chain breakage, decomposition, and cross-linking mechanisms. Compared to chain breakage and decomposition mechanisms, photoresists based on cross-linking mechanisms generate less gas during exposure, resulting in less contamination and damage to the exposure system components. Simultaneously, the formation of a dense network structure after exposure ensures higher film thickness retention and mechanical strength of the lithographic pattern, thus achieving higher resolution. However, there are currently few reports on monomolecular resin photoresists based on cross-linking mechanisms.

[0005] The inventor's prior patent 202410023407X uses compound I-1 as the host material of a single-component negative photoresist. This compound, as a monomolecular resin photoresist based on a cross-linking mechanism, can achieve good photolithography results. However, when performing high-precision electron beam lithography, such as with a period of less than 50 nm, defects appear in the resulting photolithographic patterns, especially the generally low exposure sensitivity of the photoresist, which is still far from practical applications and needs further improvement.

[0006] The structure of compound I-1 in 202410023407X is shown below:

[0165] Comparison of photolithographic patterning capabilities between two types of negative photoresists:

[0166] In Example 2 of this invention, compound I-2 was used as the negative photoresist formulation and photolithography for a single-component photoresist substrate: Compound I-2 was dissolved in propylene glycol methyl ether acetate to obtain a solution with a mass concentration of 20 mg / ml. This solution was filtered through a microporous filter with a pore size of 0.22 μm to obtain a spin-coating solution. Spin-coating was performed on a silicon substrate, followed by pre-baking at 80°C for 2 minutes. The film thickness was measured using an ellipsometer. The prepared film was then exposed using an electron beam light source at the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology, using dense lines with a period of 50 nm and a duty cycle of 1:1 as the pattern, and an exposure dose of 1576 μC / cm. 2 Then, hexane was used for development, and the resulting stripes are shown in the figure. Figure 5 In (a), the width of the lithographic stripes is 25 nm. A dense pattern of lines with a period of 44 nm and a duty cycle of 1:1 is used, and the exposure dose is 1658 μC / cm². 2 Then, hexane was used for development, and the resulting stripes are shown in the figure. Figure 6 The width of the photolithographic stripes is 22 nm.

[0167] The negative photoresist formulation and photolithography using compound I-1 from patent 202410023407X as the host material of a single-component photoresist: Compound I-1 from patent 202410023407X was dissolved in propylene glycol methyl ether acetate to prepare a solution with a mass concentration of 20 mg / ml. This solution was filtered through a microporous filter with a pore size of 0.22 μm to obtain a spin-coating solution. Spin-coating was performed on a silicon substrate, followed by pre-baking at 80°C for 2 minutes. The film thickness was measured using an ellipsometer. The prepared film was then exposed using an electron beam light source at the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology, using dense lines with a period of 50 nm and a duty cycle of 1:1 as the pattern, and an exposure dose of 2500 μC / cm. 2 Then, hexane was used for development, and the resulting stripes are shown in the figure. Figure 5 In (b), the width of the photolithographic stripes is 25 nm, and the edge roughness of the stripes is relatively large.

[0168] In summary, the negative photoresist formulation of compound I-1 in patent 202410023407X, used as the host material of a single-component photoresist, requires an exposure dose of 2500 μC / cm² to obtain lithographic stripes with a period of 50 nm (duty cycle 1:1) in electron beam lithography. 2 The negative photoresist formulation using compound I-2 as the host material of this invention to achieve 50 nm period (duty cycle 1:1) lithographic stripes with the same properties as compound I-1 in patent 202410023407X requires an exposure dose of only 1576 μC / cm². 2 The exposure dose is significantly lower than that of compound I-1 in patent 202410023407X, resulting in a significant improvement in photolithography sensitivity.

[0169] Furthermore, the negative photoresist formulation using compound I-2 of the present invention as the host material of a single-component photoresist requires an exposure dose of only 1658 μC / cm² to obtain lithographic stripes with a period of 44 nm (duty cycle 1:1) in electron beam lithography. 2 As can be seen, compared with the compound with benzyl chloride as the photosensitive group in patent 202410023407X, the compound with benzyl bromide as the photosensitive group in this invention not only requires a lower exposure dose to obtain the same stripes without obvious defects, but also can achieve higher resolution patterns with a lower exposure dose. This shows that the negative photoresist formulation of this invention as a single-component photoresist host material has significant advantages.

[0170] Example 17

[0171] Comparison of photolithographic patterning capabilities between two types of negative photoresists:

[0172] In Example 11 of this invention, compound IV-1 was used as the negative photoresist formulation and photolithography for a single-component photoresist substrate: Compound IV-1 was dissolved in acetonitrile to prepare a solution with a mass concentration of 20 mg / ml. This solution was filtered through a microporous filter with a pore size of 0.22 μm to obtain a spin-coating solution. A spin-coating film was then formed on a silicon substrate, pre-baked at 80°C for 2 minutes, and the film thickness was measured using an ellipsometry. The prepared film was then exposed to a 254 nm mercury lamp via contact exposure for 30 s, resulting in very uniform photolithographic stripes. The test results are shown in [Figure number missing]. Figure 7 (a) Among them, Figure 7 In the middle (a), the photolithographic pattern has an exposure period of 3 μm and a stripe width of about 1.5 μm. The results show that the obtained pattern has both good resolution and contrast and very low line edge roughness.

[0173] The negative photoresist formulation and photolithography using compound II-1 as the host material in patent 202410023407X: Compound II-1 is dissolved in acetonitrile to prepare a solution with a mass concentration of 25 mg / ml. This solution is filtered through a microporous filter with a pore size of 0.22 μm to obtain a spin-coating solution. A film is then spin-coated onto a silicon substrate, pre-baked at 80°C for 2 minutes, and the film thickness is measured using an ellipsometry. The prepared film is then exposed to a 254 nm mercury lamp via contact exposure for 2 minutes, resulting in uniform photolithographic stripes. The test results are shown in […]. Figure 7 (b) Among them, Figure 7 In the middle (b), the photolithography pattern has an exposure period of 6 μm and the width of the photolithography stripes is about 3 μm.

[0174] In summary, the negative photoresist formulation using compound II-1 in patent 202410023407X as the main material of a single-component photoresist requires an exposure time of 2 minutes to obtain 6 μm periodic lithographic stripes in deep ultraviolet lithography. However, the negative photoresist formulation of this invention using compound IV-1 as the main material of a single-component photoresist requires an exposure time of only 30 seconds to obtain 3 μm periodic lithographic stripes with a smaller period than compound II-1 in patent 202410023407X. The exposure dose is significantly lower than that of compound II-1 in patent 202410023407X, resulting in a significant improvement in lithographic sensitivity. As can be seen, the compound of this invention using benzyl iodine as the photosensitive group, compared with the compound of similar structure using benzyl chloride as the photosensitive group in patent 202410023407X, can achieve higher resolution patterns with significantly lower exposure dose while obtaining the same stripes without obvious defects. This indicates that the negative photoresist formulation of this invention as a single-component photoresist host material has significant advantages over the compound in patent 202410023407X.
