Definitions
- Photoresist compositions are used in microlithography processes for making miniaturized electronic components such as in the fabrication of computer chips and integrated circuits.
- a thin coating of 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 coated surface of the substrate.
- photoresist compositions there are two types, negative-working and positive-working.
- negative-working photoresist compositions 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.
- a developer solution e.g. a cross-linking reaction occurs
- 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.
- the now partially unprotected substrate may be treated with a substrate-etchant solution or plasma gases and the like.
- the etchant solution or plasma gases etch that portion of the substrate where the photoresist coating was removed during development.
- the areas of the substrate where the photoresist coating still remains are protected and, thus, an etched pattern is created in the substrate material which corresponds to the photomask used for the image-wise exposure of the radiation.
- the remaining areas of the photoresist coating may be removed during a stripping operation, leaving a clean etched substrate surface.
- 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.
- Positive-acting photoresists comprising novolak resins and quinone-diazide compounds as photoactive compounds are well known in the art.
- Novolak resins are typically produced by condensing formaldehyde and one or more multi- substituted phenols, in the presence of an acid catalyst, such as oxalic acid.
- Photoactive compounds are generally obtained by reacting multihydroxyphenolic compounds with naphthoquinone diazide acids or their derivatives.
- the photoresist is often applied to a reflective metal substrate surface and/or applied to a topographical surface of a semiconductor device during the photolithography process.
- the interference effect resulting from the reflected light from these reflective substrate during the exposure step may cause pattern linewidth variation, the problem is especially severe when the substrate surface is both highly reflective and topographical, since the light reflects from such a surface is often unpredictable.
- the present invention is directed to the reduction of linewidth variation during the processing of these photoresists, especially over highly reflective topographical substrates.
- linewidth swing ratio As the circuitry on the semiconductor device becomes more sophisticated, more and more topograghy is being introduced on the substrate and the need for photoresists that can reduce the large variations of linewidth as the photoresist film thickness changes, known as linewidth swing ratio, is becoming critical. Reduction, or more preferably elimination, of this swing ratio provides a distinct process control advantage when choosing the preferred type of photoresist for use in manufacturing semiconductor devices. In the final choice of dyed photoresist all the lithographic characteristics mentioned above must be maximized to give the best performance and maximum process control.
- the current invention is directed to the use of significantly large quantities of a 2,4-dinitro-l-naphthol in photoresists, greater than 0.5%, by total weight of the photoresist composition, to reduce the linewidth swing ratio when exposing with an I-line stepper that emits radiation at 365nm only.
- Conventional dyes such as coumarin dyes or curcumin dyes have been widely used in novolak/diazonaphthoquinone type photoresist, however they cause severe loss in photosensitivity when used in positive photoresists.
- the dye of the current invention a 2,4-dinitro-l -naphthol dye, although it is a strongly absorbing compound at i-line, its extinction coefficient at this exposure wavelength is relatively low compared to other i-line dyes such as Sudan Orange G dye and 2,2',4,4'-tetrahydroxybenzophenone. This results in a relatively higher dye loading being needed for the present invention to achieve a desired resist film absorbance as compared to other conventional i-line dyes.
- the positive photoresist composition of the present invention is for reducing the variation of critical linewidth dimensions resulting from photoresist film thickness changes, known as linewidth swing ratio, where the photoresist composition comprises an admixture of a film-forming novolak resin, a quinone diazide photosensitizer, greater than about 0.5 weight percent of a 2,4-dinitro-l- naphthol and a solvent.
- the current invention further comprises a method of forming a photoresist image on a substrate using the novel photoresist composition of this invention.
- the present invention provides for a light-sensitive positive photoresist composition
- a light-sensitive positive photoresist composition comprising a film-forming novolak resin, a quinone-diazide photoactive compound, a solvent and a 2,4-dinitro-l -naphthol, at a level greater than 0.5% by weight of total photoresist, preferably from about 0.1% up to about 1.0%, by weight.
- the invention further provides for a process for coating and imaging the light-sensitive composition of this invention.
- novolak resins or polyvinylphenols which may be used for preparing photosensitive compositions, are well known in the art.
- a procedure for the manufacture of novolak resins is described in Chemistry and
- sensitizers which comprise a component of the present invention are preferably substituted diazonaphthoquinone sensitizers, which are conventionally used in the art in positive photoresist formulations.
- Such sensitizing compounds are disclosed, for example, in U.S. Patent Numbers 2,797,213, 3,106,465, 3,148,983, 3,130,047, 3,201,329, 3,785,825 and 3,802,885.
- Useful photosensitizers include, but are not limited to, the sulfonic acid esters made by condensing phenolic compounds such as hydroxy benzophenones, oligomeric phenols and multisubstituted- multihydroxyphenyl alkanes with naphthoquinone-(l,2)-diazide-5-sulfonyl chloride or naphtho-quinone-(l,2)-diazide-4-sulfonyl chlorides.
- phenolic compounds such as hydroxy benzophenones, oligomeric phenols and multisubstituted- multihydroxyphenyl alkanes with naphthoquinone-(l,2)-diazide-5-sulfonyl chloride or naphtho-quinone-(l,2)-diazide-4-sulfonyl chlorides.

- a more prefered range is from about 60% to about 83% and most preferably from about 65% to about 70% by weight of the overall photoresist composition.
- Additives such as colorants, non-actinic dyes, anti-striation agents, plasticizers, adhesion promoters, coating aids, speed enhancers and surfactants may be added to the solution of resin, sensitizer, 2,4-dinitro-l -naphthol and solvent system before the solution is coated onto a substrate.

- EXAMPLE 1 Dyed resist samples were prepared by adding various amounts of dye to a commercial i-line positive photoresist AZ ® 7700 (available from Hoechst Celanese Corporation, AZ Photoresist Products Division, 70 Meister Ave, Somerville, NJ 08876).
