摘要:
A sulfonium salt of a naphthyltetrahydrothiophenium cation having a fluoroalkoxy chain with a specific anion is provided. The sulfonium salt is used as a photoacid generator to form a resist composition which when processed by immersion lithography, offers advantages of restrained dissolution in the immersion water and less pattern dependence or dark/bright bias.

Sulfonate salts have the formula:CF3—CH(OCOR)—CF2SO3−M+ wherein R is C1-C20 alkyl or C6-C14 aryl, and M+ is a lithium, sodium, potassium, ammonium or tetramethylammonium ion. Onium salts, oximesulfonates and sulfonyloxyimides and other compounds derived from these sulfonate salts are effective photoacid generators in chemically amplified resist compositions.
摘要:
A polymer comprising a high proportion of aromatic ring structure-containing units and containing an aromatic sulfonic acid sulfonium salt on a side chain is used to form a chemically amplified positive photoresist composition which is effective in forming a resist pattern having high etch resistance. The polymer overcomes the problems of dissolution in solvents for polymerization and purification and in resist solvents.

Sulfonate salts have the formula: R1SO3—CH(Rf)—CF2SO3−M+ wherein R1 is alkyl or aryl, Rf is H or trifluoromethyl, and M+ is a Li, Na, K, ammonium or tetramethylammonium ion. Onium salts, oximesulfonates and sulfonyloxyimides and other compounds derived from these sulfonate salts are effective photoacid generators in chemically amplified resist compositions.
摘要:
Photoacid generators generate sulfonic acids of formula (1a) or (1c) upon exposure to high-energy radiation. R1—COOCH(CF3)CF2SO3+H+ (1a) R1—O—COOCH(CF3)CF2SO3−H+ (1c) R1 is a C20-C50 hydrocarbon group having a steroid structure. The photoacid generators are compatible with resins and can control acid diffusion and are thus suited for use in chemically amplified resist compositions.

A chemically amplified positive resist composition comprising a specific 2,4,6-triisopropylbenzenesulfonate compound as a photoacid generator, a polymer which changes its solubility in an alkaline developer under the action of acid, and a basic compound has a high sensitivity, a high contrast of dissolution of resist film, a high resolution, and good storage stability.
摘要:
A chemical amplification type resist composition comprising a specific benzenesulfonyldiazomethane containing a long-chain alkoxyl group at the 2-position on benzene ring has many advantages including improved resolution, improved focus latitude, minimized line width variation or shape degradation even on long-term PED, minimized debris left after coating, development and peeling, and improved pattern profile after development and is thus suited for microfabrication.
摘要:
A chemically amplified positive resist composition is provided comprising (A) a resin containing acid labile groups other than acetal type which changes its solubility in an alkaline developer as a result of the acid labile groups being eliminated under the action of acid and (B) specific sulfonium salts as a photoacid generator. The composition is improved in resolution and focus latitude, minimized in line width variation and profile degradation even on prolonged PED, improved in pattern profile after development, minimized in pattern feature size variation within the wafer plane by uneven development and thus best suited in the deep-UV lithography.
摘要:
A high resolution resist material comprising an acid generator is provided so that high sensitivity and high resolution for high energy rays of 300 nm or less, small line-edge roughness, and excellence in heat stability and storage stability are obtained. Moreover, a pattern formation method using this resist material are provided. Specifically, a novel compound of the following general formula (1); and a positive resist material comprising this compound preferably as a photo acid generator, and a base resin; are provided. This positive resist material may contain a basic compound or a dissolution inhibitor. Further, the present invention provides a pattern formation method comprising the steps of applying this positive resist material on a substrate, then heat-treating the material, exposing the treated material to a high energy ray having a wavelength of 300 nm or less via a photo mask, optionally heat-treating the exposed material, and developing the material using a developer.
