摘要:
To form a fine resist pattern without collapse, the invention patterns a resist by applying a resist composition to a substrate to form a resist film, exposing the resist film to radiation in a desired pattern, and developing the exposed resist film using supercritical carbon dioxide at 200 atm or lower. The resist composition mainly includes a polymer having a solubility parameter equal to or lower than that of supercritical carbon dioxide.

There is a problem in that when the demand accuracy with respect to a semiconductor pattern dimension comes close to a resist molecule size with miniaturization, the device performance is deteriorated due to edge roughness of a resist pattern to exert a bad influence on the system performance. The present invention overcomes the problem by the procedure in which super-molecules which are small in dimension as compared with the conventional polymers are used as main components, the reaction number required for the change of molecule solubility is made constant and as large as possible, and an acid generator is made clathrate or combinatory n super molecules to make an acid catalyst concentration large. As a result, it is possible to form a pattern of molecular accuracy with high productivity even with respect to the pattern dimension less than 50 nm, thereby realizing the high performance system.

Providing a photo mask for KrF excimer laser lithography, which can be produced with high accuracy and low defects in a smaller number of steps. A photo mask for KrF excimer laser lithography according to the present invention is one in which a resist pattern 18 efficiently absorbing a KrF excimer laser light (wavelength: about 248 nm) is formed directly on a quartz substrate 10. The resist pattern 18 comprises: an aqueous alkali-soluble resin having a high light shielding property, which incorporates a naphthol structure having at least one hydroxyl group bound to a naphthalene nucleus; or a radiation sensitive resist having, as a main component, an aqueous alkali-soluble resin containing a derivative of the above-mentioned aqueous alkali-soluble resin as a resin matrix.
摘要:
In forming a resist pattern by forming a resist film containing an acid generator on a spin on glass film or a silicon resin film and subsequent exposure of light, an inhomogeneous distribution of an acid in the resist film caused by the spin on glass film or the silicon resin film is remedied by adding an acid generator beforehand into the spin on glass film or the silicon resin film or by using an organic polymer containing an acid generator. As a result, a profile defect in a cross section of the resist pattern caused by inhomogeneous acid distribution is prevented and the resist pattern has a rectangular cross-sectional shape.

A lithographic method for forming a mask pattern is useful for etching wiring or insulator layers on a substrate. A catalyst generation layer and a latent image formation layer are formed on the target layer prior to application of actinic radiation to activate a catalyst in the catalyst generation layer in accordance with a predetermined pattern. The activated catalyst diffuses into the latent image formation layer to form a latent image, which then serves as a mask pattern for etching the catalyst generation layer, latent image formation layer and target layer. The catalyst generation layer may be formed prior to the latent image formation layer, or vice versa. In another embodiment, the catalyst generation layer is formed prior to the radiation step, but the latent image formation layer is formed after application of the actinic radiation.

A comb-like or dot-like phase shifter pattern is added to a phase shifter used in phase shifting mask technology, which is then exposed onto a wafer. This enables the formation of extremely fine line patterns or space patterns having widths different from each other simultaneously. Further, when two reticles are disposed such that phase shifter patterns disposed therein intersect each other and are exposed consecutively onto a wafer, a fine hole pattern or dot pattern can be formed at a position where the phase shifter patterns intersect each other.
