摘要:
The invention provides a high-resolution resist material comprising an acid generator that has high sensitivity and high resolution with respect to high-energy rays of 300 nm or less, has small line-edge roughness, and is superior in heat stability and in shelf stability, and provides a pattern forming method that uses this resist material. The invention further provides a chemically amplified positive resist material comprising a base resin, an acid generator and a solvent in which the acid generator generates an alkylimidic acid containing a fluorine group, and provides a pattern forming method comprising a step of applying the resist material to the substrate, a step of performing exposure to a high-energy ray of a wavelength of 300 nm or less through a photomask following heat treatment, and a step of performing development by a developing solution following heat treatment.
摘要:
A resist composition is provided comprising a polymer comprising recurring units having a hydroxyl group substituted with an acid labile group, an onium salt PAG capable of generating a sulfonic acid, imide acid or methide acid, and an onium salt PAG capable of generating a carboxylic acid. A resist film of the composition is improved in dissolution contrast during organic solvent development, and from which a hole pattern having minimized nano-edge roughness can be formed via positive/negative reversal.
摘要:
In a resist composition comprising a base resin which is a high molecular weight structure free from an aromatic substituent group, a photoacid generator, and a solvent, the photoacid generator is a one capable of generating a perfluoroalkyl ether sulfonic acid. The resist composition has many advantages including excellent resolution, minimized size difference between isolated and densely packed patterns, and minimized line edge roughness.
摘要:
The process forms a pattern by applying a resist composition onto a substrate to form a resist film, baking, exposure, post-exposure baking, and development. The resist composition comprises a polymer comprising recurring units having an acid labile group and substantially insoluble in alkaline developer, a PAG, a PBG capable of generating an amino group, a quencher for neutralizing the acid from PAG for inactivation, and an organic solvent. A total amount of amino groups from the quencher and PBG is greater than an amount of acid from PAG. An unexposed region and an over-exposed region are not dissolved in developer whereas only an intermediate exposure dose region is dissolved in developer. Resolution is doubled by splitting a single line into two through single exposure and development.

The polymer generates a strong sulfonic acid which provides for effective cleavage of acid labile groups in a chemically amplified resist composition.
摘要:
A polymer comprising recurring units having a fluorinated carboxylic acid onium salt structure on a side chain is used to formulate a chemically amplified positive resist composition. When the composition is processed by lithography to form a positive pattern, the diffusion of acid in the resist film is uniform and slow, and the pattern is improved in LER.

A pattern is formed by coating a first positive resist composition comprising a copolymer comprising lactone-containing recurring units, acid labile group-containing recurring units and carbamate-containing recurring units, and a photoacid generator onto a substrate to form a first resist film, patternwise exposure, PEB, and development to form a first resist pattern, heating the first resist pattern for inactivation to acid, coating a second positive resist composition comprising a C3-C8 alcohol and an optional C6-C12 ether onto the first resist pattern-bearing substrate to form a second resist film, patternwise exposure, PEB, and development to form a second resist pattern.
摘要:
A thermal acid generator of generating an acid on heating above 100° C. has formula: CF3CH(OCOR)CF2SO3−(R1)4N+ wherein R is alkyl or aryl, R1 is hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, oxoalkyl, aryl, aralkyl or aryloxoalkyl, or R1 may bond together to form a ring with N. The sulfonic acid generated possesses an ester site within molecule so that less bulky acyl groups to bulky groups may be incorporated therein. The thermal acid generator provides a sufficient acid strength, is less volatile due to a high molecular weight, and ensures film formation. Upon disposal of used resist liquid, it may be converted into low accumulative compounds.

摘要:
A sulfonium salt having a polymerizable anion generates a strong sulfonic acid upon exposure to high-energy radiation so that it facilitates effective scission of acid labile groups in chemically amplified resist compositions. It is useful as a monomer from which a base resin for use in radiation-sensitive resist compositions is derived.
