摘要:
Disclosed is a composition for forming upper films which enables to form a coating film on a photoresist without causing intermixing with the photoresist film, which coating film is stable and does not dissolve into a medium such as water during immersion exposure, while being easily dissolved in an alkaline developing solution. Also disclosed is a method for forming a photoresist pattern. Specifically disclosed is a composition for forming an upper film, which covers a photoresist film for forming a pattern through irradiation of radiation. This composition is obtained by dissolving a resin, which is soluble in a developing solution for developing the photoresist film, in a solvent. The solvent has a viscosity at 20˚C of less than 5.2 × 10-3 Pa·s, and does not cause intermixing between the photoresist film and the composition for forming an upper film. In addition, the solvent contains an ether or a hydrocarbon.
摘要:
An upper layer-forming composition formed on a photoresist while causing almost no intermixing with the photoresist film and a photoresist patterning method are provided. The upper layer-forming composition is stably maintained without being eluted in a medium such as water during liquid immersion lithography and is easily dissolved in an alkaline developer. The upper layer-forming composition covers a photoresist film for forming a pattern by exposure to radiation. The composition comprises a resin dissolvable in a developer for the photoresist film and a solvent in which the resin is dissolved. The solvent has a viscosity of less than 5.2 x 10 -3 Pa·s at 20°C. In addition, the solvent does not cause intermixing of the photoresist film and the upper layer-forming composition. The solvent contains an ether or a hydrocarbon.
摘要:
An immersion upper layer film composition is provided which exhibits sufficient transparency for the exposure wavelength 248 nm(KrF) and 193 nm(ArF), can form a protective film on the photoresist film without being intermixed with the photoresist film, is not eluted into water used during immersion exposure to maintain a stable film, and can be easily dissolved in an alkaline developer. The composition applied to coat on the photoresist film when using an immersion exposure device which is irradiated through water provided between a lens and the photoresist film, the composition comprises a resin forming a water-stable film during irradiation and being dissolved in a subsequent developer, and a solvent containing a monovalent alcohol having 6 or less carbon atoms, and the resin contains a resin component having an alcoholic hydroxyl group on the side chain containing a fluoroalkyl group on at least the carbon atom of α-position.
