Abstract

The invention discloses a method for forming a hard mask layer. The method comprises providing a substrate and preforming a photoresist layer with patterns; expandingly distributing a RELACS material layer on the surface of the substrate and the surface and the side walls of the photoresist layer; performing heat treatment to form a non-water-soluble material layer on the mixing boundary between the RELACS material layer and photoresist; performing back etching to remove the RELACS material layer and the non-water-soluble material layer on the top surface of the photoresist layer to at least expose the top surface of the photoresist layer and accordingly to simply reserve part of the non-water-soluble material layer on the sides walls of the photoresist layer; removing the photoresist layer and the RELACS material layer and only reserving the part of the non-water-soluble material layer on the side walls of the photoresist layer as the hard mask layer. The method for forming the hard mask layer overcomes the problems due to utilization of PR (photoresist) masks or non-uniform-height hard masks and accordingly improves the CD (critical dimension) uniformity of subsequently-formed patterns, and meanwhile, can be compatible with traditional processes and accordingly reduces the cost.

Description

Be used to form the method for hard mask layer
Technical field
The present invention relates to field of semiconductor manufacture, and particularly, relate to a kind of be used to utilizing chemical shrinkage to assist resolution enhancement lithography (RELACS, Resolution Enhancement lithographyAssisted by Chemical Shrink) material to form the method for hard mask layer in semiconductor fabrication.In addition, the invention still further relates to and utilize this hard mask layer to carry out the method for the dual composition of autoregistration (SADP, Self-Aligned Double Patterning).
Background technology
Along with dimensions of semiconductor devices is constantly dwindled, photoetching critical size (CD, CriticalDimension) moves closer to the physics limit that has even surpassed optical lithography, has proposed stern challenge more to semiconductor fabrication especially photoetching technique thus.And dual composition technology also in good time and extremely, and its basic thought is that targeted graphical is divided into two, and by double exposure, obtains the photolithography limitation that single exposure can not obtain.
Dual composition technology mainly comprises following three kinds at present: the dual composition of SADP(autoregistration), LELE(photoetching-etching-photoetching-photoetching) DP and LLE(photoetching-photoetching-etching) DP.
LELE DP technology is followed photoetching-etching-photoetching-etched process sequence, its cardinal principle is: at first form first's pattern by exposure imaging on the ground floor photoresist, then by etching, this partial pattern is transferred on lower floor's hard mask material layer, and then spin coating second layer photoresist and by exposure imaging, form the second portion pattern, by etching, two parts pattern is finally transferred on target material layer finally.The embodiment of this technology is disclosed in No. 20100136784 U.S. Patent application.
LLE DP technology is also referred to as dual photoetching technique, it follows photoetching-photoetching-etched process sequence, cardinal principle is: at first utilize first mask exposure, form first's pattern on the ground floor photoresist, then spin coating second layer photoresist, then utilize second mask exposure, forms the second portion pattern on second layer photoresist, carry out finally etching and cleaning, the pattern that double exposure obtains is transferred on target material layer simultaneously.
The cardinal principle of SADP technology is: at first in preformed photoetching agent pattern both sides, form clearance wall (spacer), then remove photoetching agent pattern, and spacer pattern is transferred on target material layer, thereby make the number of patterns that can form in unit are double, namely the minimum spacing between pattern (pitch) can be decreased to 1/2nd of CD.
In above-mentioned three kinds of technology, LELE DP technology and LLE DP technology make with photoresist due to twice, thus very high to the linearity of photoresist, and therefore also make manufacturing cost improve, so that its application is limited to.And the SADP technology makes with photoresist due to single only, and can break through the physics limit of CD and make minimum spacing be decreased to 1/2nd of CD, thereby is particularly useful for making the semiconductor fabrication process of CD below 32nm.
The 6th, 383, a kind of dual composition technology of autoregistration of the RELACS of utilization material is disclosed in No. 952 United States Patent (USP)s.This technology comprises: form photoresist layer on substrate; This photoresist layer is carried out composition; Expand the cloth polymer material layer on the photoresist layer after composition; Remove the partial polymer material layer by comprehensive etch-back (blanketch back) technique, only to provide polymer (below be called as the polymer clearance wall) on the sidewall of the photoresist layer after composition; Photoresist layer after the removal composition, and keep described polymer clearance wall, as being used for further etched hard mask layer.Wherein, the polymer clearance wall forms by the RELACS technology.Particularly, the RELACS technology refers to utilize acid ingredient in photoresist and polymeric material generation cross-linking reaction and is forming one deck organic material (below be called as the RELACS material) between photoresist and polymeric material.The RELACS material is a kind of polymer that can be dissolved in deionized water, thereby, utilizing after it carries out composition as hard mask layer to target material layer, can use deionized water (for example, by rinsing (rinse) technique) with its removal.Yet, although this technology has plurality of advantages, owing to having adopted comprehensive etch back process when removing unnecessary polymeric material, so the polymer clearance wall top that obtains is taper, as shown in Figure 1.Utilize this hard mask layer with taper top to carry out composition to target material layer, can cause the height homogeneity of pattern in the target material layer after composition poor, and then cause the final performance of semiconductor device of making to reduce.
In view of the foregoing, need the dual patterning process of a kind of improved autoregistration, expectation the method can overcome the above-mentioned defect of traditional handicraft, and can be easily and the traditional cmos process compatibility.
