Description
Composition, method for manufacturing modified substrate, method for manufacturing laminate, method for manufacturing electronic device, compound
[0001] The present invention relates to a composition, a method for producing a modified substrate, a method for producing a laminate, a method for producing an electronic device, and a compound.
[0002] As semiconductor devices become more powerful, smaller and more precise semiconductor elements are required. Traditionally, top-down photolithography has been used to form semiconductor elements, but achieving the required precision is becoming increasingly difficult due to mechanical and optical factors, etc. Therefore, as a bottom-up method for forming semiconductor elements, a method for selectively modifying a substrate has been considered, in which a film of a compound is formed on a region of a substrate made of a specific material by selectively adsorbing the compound to the specific material, and the film is then used to modify regions of the substrate other than the region made of the specific material. Specifically, for example, a method has been devised in which a material that selectively adsorbs to a specific component is used to selectively form a coating that inhibits material deposition on a specific region of the substrate surface, followed by atomic layer deposition (ALD) processing to selectively deposit material in regions where the coating is not present, thereby modifying the substrate.
[0003] As a method for selectively modifying a substrate as described above, Patent Document 1 discloses a surface treatment method for treating a surface including two or more regions, wherein adjacent regions among the two or more regions are made of different materials, and the surface treatment method and agent can selectively modify at least one region with a good reaction rate, thereby achieving good contrast between the regions made of different materials. The surface treatment method and agent are "a surface treatment agent containing a phosphonic acid diester compound (P) represented by general formula (P-1) and an acid."

The rinsing method is not particularly limited, and examples include a method of contacting the substrate with a rinsing liquid. As the contacting method, the same method as the method of contacting the substrate with the composition can be used. The temperature of the rinsing liquid during contact is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0 to 50°C, more preferably 10 to 30°C.

The rinse treatment can remove at least one of the composition and impurities adhering to regions other than the first surface (e.g., the second surface) of the specific substrate from the specific substrate. The rinse method can be the same as the rinse method in the method for producing a modified substrate described above.
[0097] [Step 2: ALD Treatment] Step 2 is a step of subjecting the modified substrate 1 obtained in step 1 to ALD treatment to form a second coating on the second surface.

[0101] [Step 3: Removal of Coating] The method for producing a laminate of the present invention may include, after step 2, step 3 of removing the first coating formed on the first surface in step 1. Step 3 results in a laminate 2 that has no coating on the first surface and has the second coating on the second surface.

A tungsten (W) layer, a ruthenium (Ru) layer, a molybdenum (Mo) layer, a copper (Cu) layer, and a cobalt (Co) layer were formed on one surface of the silicon wafer, respectively, to prepare a W-layer wafer, a Ru-layer wafer, a Mo-layer wafer, a Cu-layer wafer, and a Co-layer wafer (hereinafter, these are also collectively referred to as "layered wafers"). The W layer, Ru layer, and Mo layer were formed by CVD, and the Cu layer and Co layer were formed by sputtering. The film formation conditions were adjusted so that the thickness of each layer was 20 nm. The silicon wafer and each layered wafer were cut into 2 cm squares and washed by immersion in isopropyl alcohol (IPA). The cleaning was performed while stirring the IPA at a stirring speed of 250 rpm, the IPA temperature was 25° C., and the cleaning time was 30 seconds. After cleaning, the wafer was dried by blowing nitrogen gas onto it.
[0121] Next, each of the cleaned wafers was immersed in each of the compositions to perform a modification treatment. The immersion was performed while stirring the composition at a stirring speed of 250 rpm, with the composition temperature at 25°C and the immersion time at 10 minutes. After the immersion, each wafer was immersed in IPA to perform a rinse treatment. The rinsing treatment was performed while stirring the IPA at a stirring speed of 250 rpm, with the IPA temperature at 25°C and the rinsing time at 30 seconds. After the rinsing, the wafer was dried by spraying nitrogen gas onto it. A modified substrate was obtained by the above procedure.
[0122] [Evaluation] [Evaluation of contact angle with pure water after substrate modification] For each of the modified substrates (silicon wafer and wafer with each layer) obtained in [Preparation of modified substrate], and for the substrates before treatment by immersion in each composition (unmodified substrates: Comparative Examples CA1 to CE1), the contact angle was measured three times using a contact angle meter (DMs-501, manufactured by Kyowa Interface Science Co., Ltd.) in an environment of 23°C, 500 milliseconds after a water droplet contacted the surface of the measurement object, and the average value was taken as the contact angle (deg.). The surface tension of pure water was analyzed as 72.9 mN / m.
[0123] [Evaluation of ALD Inhibition (Deposition Inhibition)] A tantalum nitride (TaN) layer (ALD film) was formed by ALD using an atomic layer deposition system (AD-230LP, manufactured by Samco) on each modified substrate (wafer with each layer) obtained by [Preparation of Modified Substrate] and on a substrate (unmodified substrate) before immersion in each composition. PDMAT (pentakis(dimethylamino)tantalum) was used as the organometallic source and ammonia as the reducing agent, and the ALD treatment temperature was 300°C. Other conditions were adjusted so that the thickness of the ALD film formed on the unmodified substrate would be 5 nm. For example, in Table 1, an ALD film was formed on the modified substrate under conditions such that the thickness of the ALD film formed on the W layer wafer before immersion in the composition would be 5 nm. The thickness of the ALD film of each sample after ALD processing was measured using an X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer (AZX400 manufactured by Rigaku Corporation). Measurements were performed at five points on the substrate, and the average value was taken as the film thickness. From the obtained film thickness, ALD inhibition (deposition inhibition) was evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria. The smaller the film thickness, the more difficult it is for a film to deposit by ALD processing, i.e., the better the ALD inhibition. ALD inhibition of D or higher is preferable, with S being most preferable.
[0124] S: The thickness of the ALD film is less than 0.5 nm. A: The thickness of the ALD film is 0.5 nm or more and less than 1.0 nm. B: The thickness of the ALD film is 1.0 nm or more and less than 1.5 nm. C: The thickness of the ALD film is 1.5 nm or more and less than 2.0 nm. D: The thickness of the ALD film is 2.0 nm or more and less than 2.5 nm. E: The thickness of the ALD film is 2.5 nm or more.
[0125] [Results] Tables 1 to 5 show the composition and evaluation results of each composition. In the tables, the "amount (parts by mass)" of the specific compound or comparative compound represents the content (unit: parts by mass) of the specific compound or comparative compound when the total mass of the composition is 100 parts by mass. In the tables, the content of the solvent is the remainder after subtracting the content of the specific compound or comparative compound from the total mass of the composition.
[0126] In Tables 1 to 3, the values in the "pKa (conjugate acid)" column indicate the acid dissociation constant of the conjugate acid of a compound obtained by adding a proton to a specific functional group in a specific compound. A "-" column indicates that the acid dissociation constant has not been evaluated. In Tables 4 to 5, the values in the "pKa" column indicate the acid dissociation constant of a specific functional group in a specific compound. As described above, the acid dissociation constants are values calculated using the following software package 1 based on values based on a database of Hammett's substituent constants and publicly known literature values. Software package 1: Advanced Chemistry Development (ACD / Labs) Software V8.14 for Solaris (1994-2007 ACD / Labs) In addition, Table 1 assumes a W layer as the first surface, Table 2 assumes a Mo layer as the first surface, Table 3 assumes a Ru layer as the first surface, Table 4 assumes a Cu layer as the first surface, and Table 5 assumes a Co layer as the first surface, and all results show results assuming a Si layer (silicon wafer) as the second surface.
