摘要:
To improve the etch resistance of a resist pattern corresponding to an exposure light source with a short wavelength.After a resist film on a substrate is exposed to light and developed to form a resist pattern, a treatment step of supplying a fluorine-based liquid to the surface of the resist pattern is performed. Thereafter, an etching treatment of a base film using the resist pattern as a mask is performed. This increases the density of fluorine molecules on the surface of the resist pattern before the etching treatment to improve the etch resistance of the resist pattern.

Disclosed is a supercritical processing apparatus and a supercritical processing method for suppressing the pattern collapse or the injection of material constituting a processing liquid into a substrate. A processing chamber receives a substrate subjected to a processing with supercritical fluid, and a liquid supply unit supplies a processing liquid including a fluorine compound to the processing chamber. A liquid discharge unit discharges the supercritical fluid from the processing chamber, a pyrolysis ingredient removing unit removes an ingredient facilitating the pyrolysis of a liquid from the processing chamber or from the liquid supplied from the liquid supply unit, and a to heating unit heats the processing liquid including a fluorine compound of hydrofluoro ether or hydrofluoro carbon.

According to one embodiment, a supercritical drying method comprises cleaning a semiconductor substrate with a chemical solution, rinsing the semiconductor substrate with pure water after the cleaning, changing a liquid covering a surface of the semiconductor substrate from the pure water to alcohol by supplying the alcohol to the surface after the rinsing, guiding the semiconductor substrate having the surface wetted with the alcohol into a chamber, discharging oxygen from the chamber by supplying an inert gas into the chamber, putting the alcohol into a supercritical state by increasing temperature in the chamber to a critical temperature of the alcohol or higher after the discharge of the oxygen, and discharging the alcohol from the chamber by lowering pressure in the chamber and changing the alcohol from the supercritical state to a gaseous state. The chamber contains SUS. An inner wall face of the chamber is subjected to electrolytic polishing.

The invention is a coating apparatus including: a substrate-holding part that holds a substrate horizontally; a chemical nozzle that supplies a chemical to a central portion of the substrate horizontally held by the substrate-holding part; a rotation mechanism that causes the substrate-holding part to rotate to thereby spread out the chemical on a surface of the substrate by centrifugal force, for coating the whole surface with the chemical; a gas-flow-forming unit that forms a down flow of an atmospheric gas on the surface of the substrate horizontally held by the substrate-holding part; a gas-discharging unit that discharges an atmosphere around the substrate; and a gas nozzle that supplies a laminar-flow-forming gas to the surface of the substrate, the laminar-flow-forming gas having a coefficient of kinematic viscosity larger than that of the atmospheric gas; wherein the atmospheric gas or the laminar-flow-forming gas are supplied to the central portion of the substrate.

The pattern forming method includes forming a catalyst film on a base layer having an uneven surface, wherein the catalyst layer is formed along the uneven surface of the base layer; forming a coating film by coating a fluid material on the catalyst film; forming an insoluble layer which is insoluble in a solvent in the coating film by reacting the coating film along the catalyst film; and maintaining the insoluble layer by removing an unreacted portion of the coating film by using the solvent.
