摘要:
An immersion upper layer film composition includes a resin and a solvent. The resin forms a water-stable film during irradiation and is dissolved in a subsequent developer. The solvent contains a monovalent alcohol having 6 or less carbon atoms. The composition is to be applied to form a coat on a photoresist film in an immersion exposure process in which the photoresist film is irradiated through water provided between a lens and the photoresist film.
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.

An upper layer-forming composition includes a resin, and a solvent. The resin is dissolvable in a developer for a photoresist film which is to be covered by the upper layer-forming composition to form a pattern by exposure to radiation. The solvent dissolves the resin in the solvent. The solvent includes a compound shown by a formula (1). Each of R1 and R2 independently represents a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms or a halogenated hydrocarbon group. R1—O—R2 (1)

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 5.2×10−3 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:
A method of patterning using double exposure patterning in a liquid immersion lithographic process is provided. The patterning method comprises a step of forming a first pattern on a substrate using a first resist layer forming composition, a step of making the first pattern inactive, a step of forming a second pattern on a substrate on which a pattern has been formed using a second resist layer forming composition and exposing the second resist layer to radiation, and a step of developing the exposed resist layer to form a second pattern in the space area of the first pattern. The first resist layer forming composition contains a cross-linking agent which accelerates conversion of the first layer from positive-working to negative-working.

摘要:
A radiation-sensitive resin composition comprising an acid-labile group-containing resin obtained by living radical polymerization having a specific structure which is insoluble or scarcely soluble in alkali, but becomes alkali soluble by the action of an acid, and a photoacid generator, wherein the ratio of weight average molecular weight to number average molecular weight (weight average molecular weight/number average molecular weight) of the acid-labile group-containing resin is smaller than 1.5.
