The present invention relates to a method for forming a fine pattern of a semiconductor device, and to a method of forming a fine pattern using a double exposure process in order to overcome the limitations of exposure equipment in a semiconductor device manufacturing process.
BACKGROUND With the rapid spread of information media such as computers, semiconductor devices are also rapidly developing. In terms of its function, the semiconductor device must operate at high speed and have a large storage capacity. In order to meet these demands, development of process equipment or process technology for manufacturing semiconductor devices having low manufacturing costs, improved integration, reliability, and electrical characteristics accessing data is urgently required.
Photolithography is one of the ways to improve the device integration. The photolithography technique uses an exposure technique using a short wavelength chemically amplified deep ultra violet (DUV) light source such as ArF (193 nm) or VUV (157 nm), and a photoresist material suitable for the exposure source. It is a technique of forming a fine pattern.
As the size of semiconductor devices becomes smaller and smaller, controlling the critical dimension of the pattern line width becomes an important problem when applying the photolithography technique. In general, the speed of a semiconductor device is faster as the critical dimension of the pattern line width, that is, the size of the pattern line is smaller, and the performance of the device is also improved.
However, due to the limitation of photolithography technology using ArF exposure equipment having a numerical aperture of 1.2 or less, it is difficult to form a line and space pattern of 40 nm or less in a single exposure process.
Therefore, before the next generation of EUV exposure technology, a first pattern having a line width twice as large as the pattern line width is formed as part of the resolution enhancement and process margin expansion of the photolithography technology, and then the same line width period is formed between the first patterns. A double exposure process technology for forming two patterns has been developed and currently applied to a semiconductor device mass production process.
On the other hand, since the double exposure process uses two different masks for patterning, the manufacturing cost and the time-to-efficiency are lower than the patterning technique using one mask, and thus the production rate is lowered. In addition, when forming a pattern having a pitch smaller than the resolution limit of the exposure equipment in the cell region, there are various disadvantages such as overlapping the processed image to obtain a pattern of a desired shape, and overlay misalignment occurs during alignment.
Currently, the biggest issue that needs to be addressed in the double exposure process is the overlay problem, which is difficult to fundamentally solve in the exposure equipment makers. Therefore, some improvement is expected in the next-generation exposure equipment. It is a necessary situation.
In order to alleviate this drawback, double exposure and double etching techniques have been developed and are currently being applied to semiconductor device mass production processes.

In this case, since the double exposure and double etching processes use two types of masks, a pattern having a desired resolution may be formed. However, since the exposure and etching processes are repeatedly performed, process steps are complicated, manufacturing time and cost In addition to the increase, damage and thickness reduction occur when removing the photoresist pattern, and there are many problems to be technically solved, such as the development of an optimized process for each layer.
The present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art, after forming a top coating film containing a basic compound on the photoresist film, and after performing the first exposure process, the second exposure process immediately without a separate etching process It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for forming a fine pattern of a semiconductor device capable of forming a desired fine pattern.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for forming a fine pattern of a semiconductor device comprising the following steps:

It should be seen as belonging.
Example 1 Preparation of Top Coating Composition of the Present Invention (1)
1 g of poly (t-butyl acrylate-methacrylic acid-2,2,3,4,4,4-hexafluorobutyl methacrylate) of Formula 2 and 0.04 g of triethanol amine were 4-methyl-2-pentanol Dissolved in 50g to prepare a top coating composition of the present invention.
Example 2 Preparation of Top Coating Composition of the Present Invention (2)
1 g of poly (t-butyl acrylate-2- (trifluoromethyl) acrylic acid-trifluoroacrylic acid-2,2,3,4,4,4-hexafluorobutyl methacrylate) of Formula 3; 0.04 g of N-isopropyl acrylamide was dissolved in 50 g of 4-methyl-2-pentanol to prepare a top coating composition of the present invention.
Example 3 Preparation of the Fine Pattern of the Present Invention (1)
An amorphous carbon film, a silicon oxynitride film, an organic antireflection film, and a photoresist film were sequentially formed on the wafer, and then a top coating film was formed by applying the top coating composition prepared in Example 1 on the photoresist film.
Next, the resultant was exposed to an exposure energy of 35 mJ / cm 2 using a first exposure mask having an 80 nm half pitch to form a first exposure region in the photoresist film.
Next, on the stage where the first exposure process is performed, the resultant is exposed to an exposure energy of 35 mJ / cm 2 by using a second exposure mask having an 80 nm half pitch to the first exposure area and the first exposure area. After forming a second exposure region in the photoresist film in between, it was post-baked at 100 ℃ for 60 seconds, and then developed with a 2.38 wt% aqueous solution of TMAH to obtain a photoresist pattern having a size of 40 nm.
Example 4 Preparation of Fine Patterns of the Invention (2)
A photoresist pattern of 40 nm size was obtained in the same manner as in Example 3, except that the top coating composition prepared in Example 2 was used.
As described above, according to the present invention, in forming a fine pattern by performing a double exposure process, by applying a top coating film containing a basic compound on the photoresist film, there is no separate etching process after performing the first exposure process Even if the second exposure process is performed immediately, the problem of overlay misalignment is solved because the exposure intensities between the exposure processes do not interfere with each other, and the process step is simplified because the etching process only needs to be performed once. Margins can also be improved to reduce costs, such as reducing new investment.
