Definitions
- the present invention relates to a novel antireflective coating composition and its use in image processing by forming a thin layer of the novel antireflective coating composition between a reflective substrate and a photoresist coating.
- compositions are particularly useful in the fabrication of semiconductor devices by photolithographic techniques.
- 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.
- UV 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.
- the trend towards the miniaturization of semiconductor devices has led to the use of new photoresists that are sensitive to lower and lower wavelengths of radiation and has also led to the use of sophisticated multilevel systems to overcome difficulties associated with such miniaturization.
- bottom antireflective coating provides the best solution for the elimination of reflectivity.
- the bottom antireflective coating is applied to the substrate prior to coating with the photoresist and prior to exposure.
- the photoresist is exposed imagewise and developed.

- Thermal acid generators are preferred over free acids, although free acids may also be used, in the novel antireflective composition, since it is possible that over time the shelf stability of the antireflective solution will be effected by the presence of the acid, if the polymer were to crosslink in solution. Thermal acid generators are only activated when the antireflective film is heated on the substrate. Additionally, mixtures of thermal acids and free acids may be used.

- composition is coated on top of the substrate and is further subjected to dry etching, it is envisioned that the composition is of sufficiently low metal ion level and purity that the properties of the semiconductor device are not adversely affected.
- Treatments such as passing a solution of the polymer, or compositions containing such polymers, through an ion exchange column, filtration, and extraction processes can be used to reduce the concentration of metal ions and to reduce particles.
- the optical characteristics of the antireflective coating are optimized for the exposure wavelength and other desired lithographic characteristics.
- the absorption parameter (k) of the novel composition for 193 nm exposure ranges from about 0.01 to about 1.0, preferably from about 0.1 to about 0.35 as measured using ellipsometry.
- the value of the refractive index (n) ranges from about 1.25 to about 2.0, preferably from about 1.7 to about 2.0. Due to the good absorption characteristics of this composition at 193 nm, very thin antireflective films of the order of about 40 nm may be used. This is particularly advantageous when using a nonaromatic photoresist, such as those sensitive at 193 nm, 157 nm and lower wavelengths, where the photoresist films are thin and must act as an etch mask for the antireflective film.
- the substrates over which the antireflective coatings are formed can be any of those typically used in the semiconductor industry. Suitable substrates include, without limitation, silicon, silicon substrate coated with a metal surface, copper coated silicon wafer, copper, substrate coated with antireflective coating, aluminum, polymeric resins, silicon dioxide, metals, doped silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, tantalum, polysilicon, ceramics, aluminum/copper mixtures; gallium arsenide and other such Group Ill/V compounds.
- the substrate may comprise any number of layers made from the materials described above.
- the coating composition can be coated on the substrate using techniques well known to those skilled in the art, such as dipping, spincoating or spraying.
- the film thickness of the anti-reflective coating ranges from about 0.01 ⁇ m to about 1 ⁇ m.
- the coating can be heated on a hot plate or convection oven or other well known heating methods to remove any residual solvent and induce crosslinking if desired, and insolubilizing the anti-reflective coatings to prevent intermixing between the anti-reflective coating and the photoresist.
- the preferred range of temperature is from about 90 0 C to about 250 0 C. If the temperature is below 90 0 C then insufficient loss of solvent or insufficient amount of crosslinking takes place, and at temperatures above 300 0 C the composition may become chemically unstable.
- a film of photoresist is then coated on top of the uppermost antireflective coating and baked to substantially remove the photoresist solvent.
- An edge bead remover may be applied after the coating steps to clean the edges of the substrate using
- 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.
- Negative working photoresist and positive working photoresist compositions and their use are well known to those skilled in the art.
- 193 nm immersion lithography is a viable solution for nodes down to 45 nm node and beyond.
- low "k" BARCs are more suitable for optimum substrate reflectivity control based on simulations.
- the BARC film needs to be thin enough to have desired ⁇ tch selectivity for very small features in thin film lithography.
- the low film thickness requires high n value for BARCs.
- This invention describes an antireflective coating composition which contains a novel polymer with non- aromatic dyes.
- the dye is less absorbing at 193 nm than that of conventional 193 nm BARC, e.g. phenyl or its derivatives.
- the invention takes advantage of anomalous dispersion effects near the absorption maxima ⁇ max (excluding ⁇ max ) by a judicious choice of the dye.
- the dye with absorbance maxima lower than the exposure absorbance (193 nm) is used to achieve hyper n value. Theoretically, a n value that is above the value predicted from the Cauchy correlation is considered high, which covers entire half of the absorbance band in high wavelength area.
- the high n low k material should ideally have absorption maxima, ⁇ max , such that the actinic wavelength is the same as the wavelength ⁇ + that is at half height of the absorption band on the higher wavelength side of the absorption band (Rg. 1).
- the absorption maxima ⁇ max moving from that position in the shorter wavelength direction up to a half length ( ⁇ max - ⁇ .) forces exposure wavelength ⁇ to fall into a typical high n low k region indicated in Fig. 1.
- the amplitude of the refractive index fluctuation is not only determined by the position of ⁇ max but also influenced by the strength of absorbance based on a Kramers-Kronic relation.
- n value can be achieved as long as the dye has extremely strong absorbance corresponding to the anomalous dispersion area.
- the low k requirement of the organic BARC limits the amplitude of n enhancement and adds challenges in dye selection and material development.
- dyes with absorption maxima between 160- 190 nm, preferably between 170-190 nm such as cyanuric acid into the polymer structure.
- optical indices used in the antireflective coating is not the same as the absorption property of organic compound in its pure form or in its liquid solution.
- the absorption spectrum of a dye in coating may shift due to changes of chemical and physical environment such as solvent, additives and possible chemical reactions.
- a dye behaves ideally in solution may not be right for antireflective coating.
- the invention has studied many low k BARC materials with various carefully selected dyes and the structures are presented in this work.
- a process of the instant invention comprises coating a substrate with a coating composition comprising a polymer of the present invention and heating the substrate on a hotplate or convection oven or other well known heating methods at a sufficient temperature for sufficient length of time to remove the coating solvent, and crosslink the polymer if necessary, to a sufficient extent so that the coating is not soluble in the coating solution of a photoresist or in a aqueous alkaline developer.
- An edge bead remover may be applied to clean the edges of the substrate using processes well known in the art.
- the heating ranges in temperature from about 70°C to about 250°C.
- a film of a photoresist composition is then coated on top of the anti- reflective coating and baked to substantially remove the photoresist solvent.
- the photoresist is image-wise exposed and developed in an aqueous developer to remove the treated resist.
- An optional heating step can be incorporated into the process prior to development and after exposure.
- the process of coating and imaging photoresists is well known to those skilled in the art and is optimized for the specific type of resist used.
- the patterned substrate can then be dry etched in a suitable etch chamber to remove the exposed portions of the anti-reflective film, with the remaining photoresist acting as an etch mask.
- Various gases are known in the art for etching organic anti reflective coatings, such as O2, Cb, F2 and CF 4 . This process is generally known as a bilayer process.
- An intermediate layer may be placed between the antireflective coating and the photoresist to prevent intermixing, and is envisioned as lying within the scope of this invention.
- the intermediate layer is an inert polymer cast from a solvent, where examples of the polymer are polysulfones and polyimides.
