Description
The present invention relates to a resist underlayer composition and a method of forming a pattern using the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a photoresist underlayer composition formed between a semiconductor substrate and a photoresist layer and a method of forming a photoresist pattern using the underlayer.
Recently, the semiconductor industry has developed to an ultra-fine technique having a pattern of several to several tens nanometer size. Such ultrafine technique essentially needs effective lithographic techniques.
The lithographic technique includes coating a photoresist layer on a semiconductor substrate such as a silicon wafer, exposing and developing it to form a thin layer, irradiating activated radiation such as ultraviolet (UV) while disposing a mask pattern having a pattern of a device, developing the resultant to obtain a photoresist pattern, etching the substrate using the photoresist pattern as a protective layer to form a fine pattern corresponding to the pattern on the surface of the substrate.
As technology of manufacturing an ultra fine pattern is required, an activated radiation having a short wavelength such as an i-line (365 nm), a KrF excimer laser (a wavelength of 248 nm), an ArF excimer laser (a wavelength of 193 nm), and the like is used for exposure of a photoresist. Accordingly, research on solving a problem of the activated radiation due to a diffused reflection from a semiconductor substrate, a standing wave, or the like has been made by interposing a resist underlayer having optimal reflectance between the photoresist and the semiconductor substrate.
On the other hand, a high energy ray such as EUV (extreme ultraviolet; a wavelength of 13.5 nm), an E-beam (electron beam), and the like as a light source for manufacturing the fine pattern in addition to the activated radiation has been used, and the light source has no reflection from the substrate, but research on improving adherence of the resist to the lower layer has been widely made to improve a collapse of the pattern. In addition, research on improving etch selectivity and chemical resistance of the resist underlayer in addition to decrease of the problems caused by the light source has been widely made.
In addition, an attempt to improve adherence of the resist underlayer to the resist as well as the etch selectivity and the chemical resistance in addition to the decrease of the problems caused by a light source has been made.

The invention is also directed to a method of forming patterns using the resist underlayer composition.

when a is 0, R1 is hydrogen, a halogen, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C30 alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C30 aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C30 heteroalkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C30 heteroalkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C30 heteroaryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C30 alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C30 alkynyl group, or a combination thereof,

The moiety represented by Chemical Formula 1 has a structure of a triazine backbone in the core and three oxygen atoms linked with the triazine. The moiety has this structure and thus a relatively high refractive index (n) and low extinction coefficient (k) with respect an ArF excimer laser (a wavelength of 193 nm). Accordingly, when a composition including the polymer is, for example, used as a photoresist underlayer material, the photoresist underlayer material may have optimal reflectance from an etched layer to a light source and thus suppresses a light interference effect and in addition, has high etch selectivity with a photoresist layer during the etching process and improved flatness.
The moiety represented by Chemical Formula 1 may contain at least one hydroxy group and thus further secures coating uniformity due to this structure.
For example, in Chemical Formula 1, when a is 0, R1 may be a C1 to C30 alkyl group, a C1 to C30 alkyl group substituted with at least one hydroxy group, a C1 to C30 heteroalkyl group, a C1 to C30 heteroalkyl group substituted with at least one hydroxy group, or a combination thereof, but is not limited thereto. In addition, for example, in Chemical Formula 1, when a is 1, R0 may be a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C30 alkylene group, a C1 to C30 alkylene group substituted with at least one hydroxy group, a C1 to C30 heteroalkylene group, a C1 to C30 heteroalkylene group substituted with at least one hydroxy group, or a combination thereof, but is not limited thereto.
For example, in Chemical Formula 1, when a is 0, R1 may be a linear or branched C1 to C30 alkyl group wherein at least one hydrogen is replaced by a hydroxy group. For example, R1 may be a linear or branched C1 to C30 heteroalkyl group wherein at least one hydrogen is replaced by a hydroxy group. Herein, a heteroatom in the heteroalkyl group may be present at any position of the heteroalkyl group.
In addition, in Chemical Formula 1, R2 and R3 may independently include at least one of ester (-COO-), ether (-CO-), and -CS- in the structure thereof or may independently include at least one substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C30 alkylene group, or a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C30 heteroalkylene group in the structure thereof.
Since the polymer is stable in an organic solvent and is stable under heat, when a resist underlayer composition including the polymer is, for example, used as a photoresist underlayer material, a resist underlayer formed thereof may be minimized from delamination caused by the solvent or the heat during a process of forming a photoresist pattern or may minimize generation of a byproduct such as a chemical material and the like and a thickness loss caused by a photoresist solvent thereon. In addition, the compound has improved solubility and thus may form a resist underlayer having improved coating uniformity.
Furthermore, the polymer may be a copolymer including at least one second moiety derived from a different monomolecule in addition to the moiety.
The polymer may have a weight average molecular weight of 1,000 to 100,000. Specifically, the polymer may have a weight average molecular weight of 1,000 to 50,000, and more specifically 1,000 to 20,000. When the polymer has a weight average molecular weight within the ranges, the amount of carbon and solubility in a solvent of the resist underlayer composition including the polymer may be optimized.
When the polymer is used as a material for a resist underlayer, a uniform thin layer may not only be obtained without forming a pin-hole or a void which deteriorates a thickness distribution during a baking process, but improved gap-fill and planarization characteristics may also be obtained when a lower substrate (or a layer) has a step or is patterned.
The solvent may be any solvent having sufficient dissolubility or dispersibility for the polymer and may include, for example, at least one selected from propylene glycol, propylene glycol diacetate, methoxy propanediol, diethylene glycol, diethylene glycol butylether, tri(ethylene glycol)monomethylether, propylene glycol monomethylether, propylene glycol monomethylether acetate, cyclohexanone, ethyllactate, gamma-butyrolactone, N,N-dimethyl formamide, N,N-dimethyl acetamide, methyl pyrrolidone, methyl pyrrolidinone, acetylacetone, and ethyl 3-ethoxypropionate.
The polymer may be included in an amount of 0.1 to 50 wt%, 0.1 to 30 wt%, or 0.1 to 15 wt% based on a total amount of the resist underlayer composition. When the polymer is included within the ranges, a thickness, a surface roughness, and a planarization of the formed thin layer may be controlled.
The resist underlayer composition may further include a cross-linking agent.
The cross-linking agent may be, for example, a melamine-based, substituted urea-based, or a polymer-based cross-linking agent. Preferably, the cross-linking agent may be a cross-linking agent having at least two cross-linking forming substituents, for example, a compound such as methoxymethylated glycoluril, butoxymethylated glycoluril, methoxymethylated melamine, butoxymethylated melamine, methoxymethylated benzoguanamine, butoxymethylated benzoguanamine, methoxymethylatedurea, butoxymethylatedurea, methoxymethylated thiourea, or butoxymethylated thiourea, and the like.
The cross-linking agent may be a cross-linking agent having high heat resistance and may be, for example, a compound including a cross-linking substituent including an aromatic ring (for example, a benzene ring or a naphthalene ring) in the molecule. The cross-linking agent may have, for example, two or more cross-linking sites.
In addition, the resist underlayer composition may further include at least one other polymer of an acryl-based resin, an epoxy-based resin, a novolac resin, a glycoluril-based resin, and a melamine-based resin in addition to the compound including a structural unit represented by Chemical Formula 1, but is not limited thereto.
The resist underlayer composition may further include an additive of a surfactant, a thermal acid generator, a plasticizer, or a combination thereof.
The surfactant may include, for example, an alkylbenzenesulfonate salt, an alkyl pyridinium salt, a polyethylene glycol, a quaternary ammonium salt, a fluoro alkyl-based compound, and the like, but is not limited thereto.
The thermal acid generator may be, for example, an acidic compound such as p-toluene sulfonic acid, trifluoromethane sulfonic acid, pyridinium p-toluene sulfonic acid, salicylic acid, sulfosalicylic acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, hydroxybenzoic acid, naphthalene carbonic acid, and the like and/or 2,4,4,6-tetrabromocyclohexadienone, benzointosylate, 2-nitrobenzyltosylate, other organosulfonic acid alkylester, and the like, but is not limited thereto.
The additive may be present in an amount of 0.001 to 40 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the resist underlayer composition. Within the ranges, solubility may be improved while optical properties of the resist underlayer composition are not changed.
According to another embodiment, a resist underlayer manufactured using the resist underlayer composition is provided. The resist underlayer may be cured by heat treatment after coating the resist underlayer composition on, for example, a substrate, and may include, for example, an organic thin layer such as a planarization layer, an anti-reflection coating, a sacrificial layer, a filler, and the like that are used in an electronic device.
Hereinafter, a method of forming patterns using the resist underlayer composition is described referring to FIGs. 1 to 5.
FIGs. 1 to 5 are cross-sectional views explaining a method of forming patterns using a resist underlayer composition according to an embodiment.
Referring to FIG. 1, a subject for etching is prepared. The etching subject may be a thin layer 102 formed on a substrate 100 (for example, a semiconductor substrate). Hereinafter, the etching subject is limited to the thin layer 102. An entire surface of the thin layer 102 is washed to remove impurities and the like remaining thereon. The thin layer 102 may be, for example, a silicon nitride layer, a polysilicon layer, or a silicon oxide layer.
Subsequently, the resist underlayer composition including the polymer having the structural unit represented by Chemical Formula 1 and a solvent is spin-coated on the surface of the washed thin layer 102.
Then, the coated composition is dried and baked to form a resist underlayer 104 on the thin layer 102. The baking may be performed at 100 °C to 500 °C. For example, the baking may be performed at 100 °C to 300 °C. Specifically, the resist underlayer composition is described above in detail and thus the detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted.
Referring to FIG. 2, a photoresist layer 106 is formed by coating a photoresist on the resist underlayer 104.
Examples of the photoresist may be a positive-type photoresist containing a naphthoquinonediazide compound and a novolac resin, a chemically-amplified positive photoresist containing an acid generator capable of dissociating acid through exposure, a compound decomposed under presence of the acid and having increased dissolubility in an alkali aqueous solution, and an alkali soluble resin, a chemically-amplified positive-type photoresist containing an alkali-soluble resin capable of applying a resin increasing dissolubility in an alkali aqueous solution, and the like.
Subsequently, the substrate 100 having the photoresist layer 106 thereon is primarily baked. The primary baking may be performed at about 90 °C to about 120 °C.
Referring to FIG. 3, the photoresist layer 106 may be selectively exposed.
Exposure of the photoresist layer 106 may be, for example, performed by positioning an exposure mask having a predetermined pattern on a mask stage of an exposure apparatus and aligning the exposure mask 110 on the photoresist layer 106. Subsequently, light is radiated into the exposure mask 110 and a predetermined region of the photoresist layer 106 formed on the substrate 100 selectively reacts with light passing the exposure mask 110. Examples of the light used during the exposure may be an ArF laser (a laser of ArF) having a wavelength of 193 nm and 248 nm, EUV (extreme ultraviolet) having a wavelength of 13.5 nm, and the like.
An exposed region 106b of the photoresist layer 106 may be relatively hydrophilic compared with a non-exposed region 106a of the photoresist layer 106. Accordingly, the exposed region 106b and non-exposed region 106a of the photoresist layer 106 may have different solubility from each other.
Subsequently, the substrate 100 is secondarily baked. The secondary baking may be performed at about 90 °C to about 150 °C. The exposed region 106b of the photoresist layer 106 becomes easily dissoluble with respect to a predetermined solvent due to the secondary baking.
Referring to FIG. 4, the exposed region 106b of the photoresist layer 106 is dissolved and removed by a developing solution to form a photoresist pattern 108. Specifically, the exposed region 106b of the photoresist layer 106 is dissolved and removed by using a developing solution such as tetra-methyl ammonium hydroxide (TMAH) and the like to finish the photoresist pattern 108.
Subsequently, the photoresist pattern 108 is used as an etching mask to etch the resist underlayer 104. Through the etching, an organic layer pattern 112 is formed.
The etching may be, for example, dry etching using etching gas, and the etching gas may be, for example, CHF3, CF4, Cl2, BCl3, and a mixed gas thereof. Referring to FIG. 5, the photoresist pattern 108 is applied as an etching mask to etch the exposed thin layer 102. As a result, the thin layer is formed into a thin layer pattern 114.
Hereinafter, the present invention is described in more detail through Examples regarding synthesis of the polymer and preparation of a resist underlayer composition including the same. However, the present invention is technically not restricted by the following example embodiments.
