摘要:
Disclosed is a surface treatment liquid which enables simple and efficient hydrophobilization of a substrate and prevention of collapse of a resin pattern or etched pattern. Also disclosed are a surface treatment method using the surface treatment liquid, a hydrophobilization method using the surface treatment liquid, and a hydrophobilized substrate. When a substrate is hydrophobilized, the substrate is coated with a surface treatment liquid containing a silylating agent and a hydrocarbon non-polar solvent. When a pattern is prevented from collapse, the surface of a resin pattern formed on a substrate or etched pattern formed on a substrate by etching is treated using a surface treatment liquid containing a silylating agent and a solvent.
摘要:
Conventional detergents for lithography which contain a surfactant as an active ingredient should have a reduced surfactant concentration because heightened surfactant concentrations result in dissolution of the resin component of a photoresist composition and hence in a dimensional change of a resist pattern. However, the conventional detergents have had a drawback that such a low concentration unavoidably reduces the ability to inhibit pattern falling and defect occurrence. A detergent for lithography is provided which is an aqueous solution containing (A) at least one member selected among nitrogenous cationic surfactants and nitrogenous ampholytic surfactants and (B) an anionic surfactant. This detergent retains a low surface tension even when it has a low concentration. It is effective in inhibiting pattern falling and defect occurrence. It can also inhibit resist patterns from fluctuating in dimension.

It is disclosed a cleaning liquid used in a process for forming a dual damascene structure comprising steps of etching a low dielectric layer (low-k layer) accumulated on a substrate having thereon a metallic layer to form a first etched-space; charging a sacrifice layer in the first etched-space; partially etching the low dielectric layer and the sacrifice layer to form a second etched-space connected to the first etched-space; and removing the sacrifice layer remaining in the first etched-space with the cleaning liquid, wherein the cleaning liquid comprises (a) 1-25 mass % of a quaternary ammonium hydroxide, such as TMAH and choline (b) 30-70 mass % of a water soluble organic solvent, and (c) 20-60 mass % of water. The cleaning liquid attains in a well balanced manner such effects that a sacrifice layer used for forming a dual damascene structure is excellently removed, and a low dielectric layer is not damaged upon formation of a metallic wiring on a substrate having a metallic layer (such as a Cu layer) and the low dielectric layer formed thereon.

摘要:
A novel method for forming a pattern capable of decreasing the number of steps in a double patterning process, and a material for forming a coating film suitably used in the method for forming a pattern are provided. First resist film (2) is formed by applying a first chemically amplified resist composition on support (1), and thus formed film is selectively exposed, and developed to form multiple first resist patterns (3). Next, on the surface of the first resist patterns (3) are formed multiple coating patterns (5) by forming coating films (4) constituted with a water soluble resin film, respectively. Furthermore, a second chemically amplified resist composition is applied on the support (1) having the coating pattern (5) formed thereon to form second resist film (6), which is selectively exposed and developed to form multiple second resist patterns (7). Accordingly, a pattern including the coating patterns (5) and the second resist patterns (7) is formed on the support (1).

Provided are a material for forming a resist protecting film which is for use in a liquid immersion lithography process and which is formed on a resist film, wherein the material has the following properties of: being transparent with respect to exposure light; having substantially no compatibility with a liquid for liquid immersion lithography; and causing no mixing with the resist film, a composite film comprising a protective film formed from the material and a resist film, and a method for forming a resist pattern using them. These can prevent both the resist film and the liquid used from changing in properties during the liquid immersion lithography, so that a resist pattern with high resolution can be formed using the liquid immersion lithography.

This invention provides a novel cleaning liquid for lithography that, for a photoresist pattern, is used for reducing a surface defect, that is, defect, of a product, preventing pattern collapse during water rinsing, and further imparting electron beam irradiation resistance to a resist to suppress pattern shrinkage. Further, in the novel cleaning liquid for lithography, bacteria contamination does not occur during storage. The cleaning liquid for lithography comprises an aqueous solution containing an amine oxide compound represented by general formula wherein R1 represents an alkyl or hydroxyalkyl group having 8 to 20 carbon atoms which may be interrupted by an oxygen atom; and R2 and R3 represent an alkyl or hydroxyalkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms.

摘要:
The formation of a resist pattern with high resolution using liquid immersion lithography, while concurrently preventing deterioration of the resist film during the liquid immersion lithography and deterioration of the used liquid itself, is possible through the use of a liquid which can be suitably used in a liquid lithography process in which the above resist film is exposed while being intervened by a liquid having a predetermined thickness and refractive index higher than air on at least a resist film on a route of allowing lithographic exposure light to reach to the resist film, thereby improving the resolution of a resist pattern. A liquid composed of a fluorine-based solvent that has a lowered hydrogen atomic concentration and exhibits sufficient transparency for the exposure light having a wavelength of no more than 200 nm employed in the exposure process, and that has a boiling point of 70 to 270° C., is used as an immersion liquid in liquid immersion lithography.
摘要:
A photoresist stripping solution comprising (a) a specified quaternary ammonium hydroxide, such as tetrabutylammonium hydroxide, tetrapropylammonium hydroxide, methyltributylammonium hydroxide or methyltripropylammonium hydroxide, (b) a water-soluble amine, (c) water, (d) a corrosion inhibitor and (e) a water-soluble organic solvent, the compounding ratio of component (a) to component (b) being in the range of from 1:3 to 1:10 by mass, as well as a method of stripping photoresists using the solution. The stripping solution of the invention assures effective protection of Al, Cu and other wiring metal conductors against corroding as well as efficient stripping of the photoresist film, post-ashing residues such as modified photoresist film and metal depositions. It also assures efficient stripping of Si-based residues and effective protection of the substrate (particularly the reverse side of a Si substrate) from corroding.
