Definitions
- the present invention relates to a composition for coating over a photoresist pattern to improve lithographic performance and also relates to a process for using such a coating for making an image on a substrate.
- Ultra-fine patterns are typically created by forming patterns in a photoresist coating using photolithographic techniques.
- a thin coating of a film of a photoresist composition is first applied to a substrate material, such as silicon wafers used for making integrated circuits.
- the coated substrate is then baked to evaporate any solvent in the photoresist composition and to fix the coating onto the substrate.
- the baked coated surface of the substrate is next subjected to an image-wise exposure to radiation. This radiation exposure causes a chemical transformation in the exposed areas of the coated surface.
- Visible light, ultraviolet (UV) light, electron beam and X-ray radiant energy are radiation types commonly used today in microlithographic processes.
- the coated substrate is treated with a developer solution to dissolve and remove either the radiation-exposed or the unexposed areas of the photoresist.
- Miniaturization of integrated circuits requires the printing of narrower and narrower dimensions within the photoresist.
- Various technologies have been developed to shrink the photoresist dimensions, examples of such technologies are, multilevel coatings, antireflective coatings, phase-shift masks, photoresists which are sensitive at shorter and shorter wavelengths, etc.
- One important process for printing smaller dimensions relies on the technique of forming a thin layer on top of the image of the photoresist, which widens the photoresist image but reduces the dimension of the space between adjacent photoresist patterns. This narrowed space can be used to etch and define the substrate or be used to deposit materials, such as metals.
- the top coating layer or shrink material may be an inorganic layer such as a dielectric material, or it may be organic such as a crosslinkable polymeric material.
- Dielectric shrink materials are described in US 5,863,707, and comprise silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, spin on material or chemical vapor deposited material.
- Organic polymeric coatings are described in US 5,858,620, where such coatings undergo a crosslinking reaction in the presence of an acid, thereby adhering to the photoresist surface, but are removed where the top shrink coating has not been crosslinked.
- US 5,858,620 discloses a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, where the substrate has a patterned photoresist which is coated with a top layer, the photoresist is then exposed to light and heated so that the photogenerated acid in the photoresist diffuses through the top layer and can then crosslink the top layer. The extent to which the acid diffuses through the top coat determines the thickness of the crosslinked layer. The portion of the top layer that is not crosslinked is removed using a solution that can dissolve the polymer.
- the present invention relates to a coating composition of a shrink material comprising a polymer comprising amino groups.
- a polymer comprising amino groups is particularly useful for coating over photoresists sensitive at 193 nm and 157 nm, where the photoresist polymer comprises groups that can react with a base.
- the object of the invention is to form a coating over the imaged photoresist which reacts with the photoresist and stabilizes the photoresist pattern and further increases the thickness of the photoresist. It has been unexpectedly found that the use of this novel coating shrink composition leads to improved pattern definition, higher resolution and stable pattern formation of imaged photoresist.
- the present invention relates to an aqueous coating composition for coating a photoresist pattern comprising a polymer containing amino group, preferably primary amine group.
- the present invention also relates to a process for manufacturing a microelectronic device comprising providing a substrate with a photoresist pattern, coating the photoresist pattern with the novel coating material reacting a portion of the coating material in contact with the photoresist pattern, and removing a portion of the coating material which is not reacted with a removal solution.
- the present invention further relates to the use of a coating composition comprising a polymer containing an amino group, preferably a primary amino group, for coating a photoresist pattern.
- the present invention relates to a shaped article, comprising a substrate, on which a photoresist pattern has been formed, where the pattern is coated by a layer comprising a polymer containing an amino group.
- the present invention relates to an aqueous shrink coating composition comprising a polymer containing amino groups.
- the invention also relates to a process for manufacturing a microelectronic device, comprising forming a layer of shrink coating material on top of an imaged photoresist pattern, reacting a portion of the shrink material near the photoresist interface, and removing the unreacted, soluble portion of the shrink material with a removal solution.
- An imaged pattern of photoresist is formed on a substrate according to processes well-known to those skilled in the art.
- Photoresists can be any of the types used in the semiconductor industry. There are two types of photoresist compositions, negative-working and positive- working. When negative-working photoresist compositions are exposed image- wise to radiation, the areas of the resist composition exposed to the radiation become less soluble to a developer solution (e.g. a cross-linking reaction occurs) while the unexposed areas of the photoresist coating remain relatively soluble to such a solution. Thus, treatment of an exposed negative-working resist with a developer causes removal of the non-exposed areas of the photoresist coating and the creation of a negative image in the coating, thereby uncovering a desired portion of the underlying substrate surface on which the photoresist composition was deposited.
- a developer solution e.g. a cross-linking reaction occurs
- Photoresist resolution is defined as the smallest feature which the resist composition can transfer from the photomask to the substrate with a high degree of image edge acuity after exposure and development. In many manufacturing applications today, resist resolution on the order of less than one micron are necessary. In addition, it is almost always desirable that the developed photoresist wall profiles be near vertical relative to the substrate. Such demarcations between developed and undeveloped areas of the resist coating translate into accurate pattern transfer of the mask image onto the substrate. This becomes even more critical as the push toward miniaturization reduces the critical dimensions on the devices.
- a photoresist comprises a polymer and a photosensitive compound.
- photoresist systems are novolak/diazonaphthoquinone, polyhydroxystyrene/onium salts, capped polyhydroxystyrene/onium salts, cycloaliphatic polymers/onium salts, fluoropolymers/onium salts, etc.
- photoresists are well-known for use at wavelengths ranging from 436nm to 157nm. Any type of photoresist that is capable of forming an image may be used.
- a photoresist is coated on a substrate, and the photoresist coating is baked to remove substantially all of the coating solvent. The coating is then exposed with the appropriate wavelength of light, and developed with a suitable developer.
- a shrink material comprising an aqueous polymer containing amino group is coated over the substrate with the photoresist pattern and reacted with the surface of the photoresist to form an interface layer which is insoluble in the aqueous removing solution.
- the interface layer is formed by heating the substrate as a suitable temperature for a suitable time.
- the amino group of the shrink material reacts with the polymer of the photoresist, where the photoresist polymer contains functionalities that can react with the amino group, such as lactones, anhydrides and esters.
- the unreacted portion of the shrink coating is removed by the removal solution.
- Typical examples of suitable systems for a shrink material that can react with the underlying photoresist are an aqueous solution comprising a polymer comprising amino groups, specifically primary amine groups (-NH 2 ).
- the amine group, with a free proton, is pendant from the polymer, and may be connected to the polymer through a (C1-C1 0 ) alkyl group, where the alkyl group is linear or branched or cylic.

- Additives and/or other solvents that are miscible with water may be added to the composition. Solvents such as alcohols, particularly, isopropanol, may be added.
- the coating composition does not contain a crosslinking agent, especially melamine and urea based crosslinking agents.
- Crosslinking agents are not necessary for the reaction between the polymer of the top coat and the photoresist polymer, since the present invention involves a base induced reaction of the functionality in the photoresist polymer. Therefore, in one embodiment the shrink material composition is free of crosslinking agents.
