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.

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:
A method of producing a high-quality product without damaging the physical properties of a pattern to be formed by a rinsing process based on a principle totally different from that for a conventional pattern collapse preventing method. A method for forming a resist pattern by subjecting a photo-resist layer provided on a substrate to image-forming exposure and then developing the resultant layer, wherein the resist pattern is formed, after the developing process, by the process of reducing a contact angle with respect to a contact liquid on the surface of the resist pattern to up to 40 degrees, then by the process of increasing it to at least 70 degrees, and further by drying it.

摘要:
This invention provides a novel rinsing liquid for lithography, which, for a photoresist pattern, can reduce surface defects, the so-called defects, without sacrificing the quality of the product, and, at the same time, can impart resistance to electron beam irradiation to suppress the shrinkage of the resist pattern, and a method for resist pattern formation using the same. A resist pattern is formed by preparing a rinsing liquid for lithography comprising an aqueous solution containing (A) a water-soluble and/or alkali-soluble polymer having a nitrogen atom in its molecular structure and (B) at least one member selected from aliphatic alcohols and alkyletherification products thereof, and then carrying out (1) the step of providing a photoresist film on a substrate, (2) the step of selectively exposing the photoresist film thorough a mask pattern, (3) the step of heat-treating the exposed photoresist film, (4) the step of carrying out alkali development, and (5) the step of treating the developed film with the rinsing liquid for lithography.
