According to one embodiment, a pattern forming method is disclosed. The method can include selectively providing a curing agent to a pattern in a template, contacting the template provided the curing agent to a substrate, irradiating the curing agent with light where the template and the substrate are contacted each other to harden the curing agent, demolding the template from the substrate to form a curing agent pattern on the substrate, and etching the substrate on a basis of the curing agent pattern.

A substrate-processing apparatus includes a sample table which mounts thereon a to-be-processed substrate, a first line which supplies a chemical solution, a second line which supplies a cleaning liquid, a three-way valve connected to the first and second lines and configured to select one of the first and second lines, a filter provided across the first line upstream of the three-way valve, and configured to eliminate a foreign material from the chemical solution, and a nozzle provided downstream of the three-way valve and configured to discharge the chemical solution or the cleaning liquid when the first or second line is selected via the three-way valve. The three-way valve selects the first line when the substrate is coated with the chemical solution, and selects the second line in other cases.

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device using immersion exposure in which exposure is carried out with an immersion exposure liquid interposed between a projection lens and a substrate, includes preparing a photomask on which a plurality of patterns are formed, projecting the patterns formed on the photomask, on a predetermined surface via the projection lens and the immersion exposure liquid, acquiring dimensional information on dimension acquiring patterns based on the patterns projected on the predetermined surface, adjusting a refractive index of the immersion exposure liquid on the basis of the dimensional information, and projecting patterns formed on the photomask, on a substrate via the projection lens and the immersion exposure liquid with the refractive index adjusted.
摘要:
A patterning method includes: forming a first film on a workpiece substrate; forming a second film on the first film, the second film being a silicon film having a lower optical absorption coefficient with respect to EUV (extreme ultraviolet) light than the first film; forming a resist film on the second film; selectively irradiating the resist film with the EUV light; and developing the resist film.
摘要:
A resist pattern is formed on the major surface of a semiconductor substrate, and coated with a water-soluble pattern formation material having thermal crosslinking properties in the presence of an acid. A crosslinking film is formed by heating in that portion of the water-soluble pattern formation material which is in contact with the resist pattern. A pattern is formed by removing a portion of the water-soluble pattern formation material except for the crosslinking film by using an aqueous alkali solution containing a surfactant.

A method of processing a substrate, comprising forming a chemically amplified resist film on a substrate, irradiating energy beams to the chemically amplified resist film to form a latent image therein, carrying out heat treatment with respect to the chemically amplified resist film, heating treatment being carried out in a manner of relatively moving a heating section for heating the chemically amplified resist film and the substrate forming a gas stream flowing reverse to the relatively moving direction of the heating section between the lower surface of the heating section and the chemically amplified resist film.
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.
