A method for manufacturing a capacitor of a semiconductor device by using a composition to prevent leaning of a capacitor. The method includes forming a barrier film and a capacitor oxide film over a semiconductor substrate including an interlayer insulation film with contact plugs for storage nodes; etching the capacitor oxide film and the barrier film until the contact plugs are exposed to form trenches for capacitors; forming lower electrodes for the storage nodes in the trenches; coating the composition over the lower electrodes and baking the composition to form a polymer layer connecting the upper portions of the lower electrodes; performing the wet-dip out process on the resulting structure to remove the capacitor oxide film; and performing an O2 dry etching process to remove the polymer layer.

Abstract:
Disclosed are photoresist cleaning solutions, which are used to clean semiconductor substrates before or after an exposing step when photoresist patterns are formed. Methods for forming patterns using the same are also disclosed. The cleaning solutions include H2O and a nonionic surfactant compound represented by Formula 1. By spraying the disclosed cleaning solutions on a surface of the semiconductor substrate before or after exposing step to form a photoresist pattern, the desired pattern only is obtained and unnecessary patterns generated in undesired regions by ghost images are avoided as excess acid generated by the photoacid generator is neutralized and removed and damage to unexposed portions of the photoresist polymer is avoided. wherein R1 and R2 are independently H, C1-C20 alkyl, C5-C25 alkyl aryl or C1-C10 ester; m is 1 or 2; n is an integer ranging from 10 to 300; and o is 0 or 1.

Abstract:
A photoresist polymer for a top-surface imaging process by silylation (TIPS), and a photoresist composition comprising the same. The protecting group of the present photoresist polymer is selectively protected in an exposed region, and thus a hydroxyl group is generated. The hydroxyl group reacts with the silylation agent to cause a silylation process. Accordingly, when the photoresist film is dry-developed, the exposed region only remains to form a negative pattern. In addition, the present photoresist composition has excellent adhesiveness to a substrate, thus preventing a pattern collapse in forming a minute pattern. As a result, the present photoresist composition is suitable for a lithography process using light sources such as ArF (193 nm), VUV (157 nm) and EUV (13 nm).
