According to an aspect of the invention, there is provided a resist pattern forming method of forming a resist pattern by immersion exposure, comprising forming a resist film on a substrate to be treated, a contact angle between the resist film and an immersion liquid being a first angle, forming a first cover film on the resist film, a contact angle between the first cover film and the immersion liquid being a second angle which is larger than the first angle, forming a second cover film on the first cover film, a contact angle between the second cover film and the immersion liquid being a third angle which is smaller than the second angle, and forming a latent image on the resist film by the immersion exposure.
摘要:
A method for qualifying a chemical solution is disclosed. This method (a) obtains the number of particles in a chemical solution for each size of the particles, and (b) predicts, for each size of the particles, the influence of the chemical solution on a device to be fabricated by using the chemical solution. The degree of influence of the chemical solution on the device is obtained by using the results of (a) and (b). The quality of the chemical solution is evaluated on the basis of the obtained result, and whether the chemical solution is good or bad is determined on the basis of the evaluation result. On the basis of the determination result, the chemical solution is qualified as a chemical solution for use in a fabrication step of the device.

A pattern forming method comprises forming a first resist pattern on a substrate, irradiating light on the first resist pattern, forming a resist film including a cross-linking material on the substrate and the first resist pattern, forming a second resist pattern including a cross-linking layer formed at an interface between the first resist pattern and the resist film by causing a cross-linking reaction at the interface, and irradiating light on the first resist pattern including setting an amount of the light irradiated on the first resist pattern such that a dimension of the second resist pattern is to be a predetermined dimension based on a previously prepared relationship between a difference between a dimension relating to the first resist pattern and a dimension relating to the second resist pattern and the amount of the light irradiated on the first resist pattern.

摘要:
A heating apparatus for a substrate to be processed with a coating film has a chamber with an inner space, a heating plate heating the substrate to be processed in the inner space, and a partition member. The heating plate has a support surface which supports the substrate to be processed within the chamber. The partition member is arranged in the chamber so as to face the support surface. The partition member partitions the inner space into first and second spaces, and has a plurality of pores which allow the first and second spaces to communicate with each other. The support surface of the heating plate is set in the first space. An air stream formation mechanism forming an air stream is arranged in the second space. This mechanism discharges a substance evaporated from the photoresist film.

摘要:
A method for evaluating chemical solution includes determining number of particles in liquid for each size of the particles by measurement, expressing a relationship between size of the particles and number of particles corresponding to the size by a function based on the number of particles for each size of the particles determined by the measurement, and evaluating influence of particles having size less than or equal to a measurement limit in the liquid based on the function.
