特に、有機系現像液は、ケトン系溶剤、エステル系溶剤、アルコール系溶剤、アミド系溶剤及びエーテル系溶剤からなる群より選択される少なくとも1種類の有機溶剤を含有する現像液であるのが好ましい。
界面活性剤としては特に限定されないが、例えば、イオン性や非イオン性のフッ素系及び/又はシリコン系界面活性剤等を用いることができる。これらのフッ素及び/又はシリコン系界面活性剤として、例えば特開昭62-36663号公報、特開昭61-226746号公報、特開昭61-226745号公報、特開昭62-170950号公報、特開昭63-34540号公報、特開平7-230165号公報、特開平8-62834号公報、特開平9-54432号公報、特開平9-5988号公報、米国特許第5405720号明細書、同5360692号明細書、同5529881号明細書、同5296330号明細書、同5436098号明細書、同5576143号明細書、同5294511号明細書、同5824451号明細書記載の界面活性剤を挙げることができ、好ましくは、非イオン性の界面活性剤である。非イオン性の界面活性剤としては特に限定されないが、フッ素系界面活性剤又はシリコン系界面活性剤を用いることが更に好ましい。
界面活性剤の使用量は現像液の全量に対して、通常0.001~5質量%、好ましくは0.005~2質量%、更に好ましくは0.01~0.5質量%である。
有機系現像液は、酢酸ブチルであることが好ましい。
また、有機系現像液は、特許第5056974号の0041段落~0063段落に例示されているような、含窒素化合物を含んでもよい。なお、現像液の貯蔵安定性などの観点からは、有機系現像液への含窒素化合物の添加は、本願のパターン形成方法を行う直前が好ましい。
また、有機系リンス液中のリンス液以外の有機溶剤が該有機系現像液である場合は特に好ましい。
炭化水素系溶剤、ケトン系溶剤、エステル系溶剤、アルコール系溶剤、アミド系溶剤及びエーテル系溶剤の具体例としては、有機系現像液において説明したものと同様のものを挙げることができる。
炭化水素系溶剤を含有するリンス液としては、炭素数6~30の炭化水素化合物が好ましく、炭素数8~30の炭化水素化合物がより好ましく、炭素数7~30の炭化水素化合物が更に好ましく、炭素数10~30の炭化水素化合物が特に好ましい。中でも、デカン及び/又はウンデカンを含むリンス液を用いることにより、パターン倒れが抑制される。
リンス液としてエステル系溶剤を用いる場合には、エステル系溶剤(1種又は2種以上)に加えて、グリコールエーテル系溶剤を用いてもよい。この場合の具体例としては、エステル系溶剤(好ましくは、酢酸ブチル)を主成分として、グリコールエーテル系溶剤(好ましくはプロピレングリコールモノメチルエーテル(PGME))を副成分として用いることが挙げられる。これにより、残渣欠陥が抑制される。
中でも、有機系リンス液は、4-メチル-2-ペンタノール、又は、酢酸ブチルであることが好ましい。
本発明の有機系処理液は、上記条件を満たせば、その入手方法等は特に限定されないが、蒸留工程を含む製造方法によって製造された有機系処理液であることが好ましい。
蒸留工程では、典型的には、有機系処理液の原料となる有機溶剤を蒸留装置によって精製する。
蒸留装置は、典型的には、蒸留部と凝縮部とを有するものであり(換言すれば、蒸留部から凝縮部までの構成を言い)、必要に応じて、蒸留部と凝縮部とを接続する配管を更に有する。蒸留部は、液の気化がなされる部位であり、加熱設備が付帯されていてもいなくても良く、その具体例な形式としては、蒸留塔、蒸留釜、及び蒸留缶などが挙げられる。凝縮部は、気化された液が液体に戻る部位であり、冷却設備が付帯されていてもいなくても良い。
金属元素濃度に関する上記要件を満たす本発明の有機系処理液を得るためには、特に凝縮器の内部がライニングされていることが好ましく、蒸留装置の内部がライニングされていることがより好ましい。ここで、「蒸留装置の内部がライニングされている」とは、蒸留部から凝縮部までの構成部材において、液と接触する部分がライニングされていることを意味するものであり、典型的には、上記蒸留部の内部(内壁)と上記凝縮部の内部(内壁)とがライニングされていることを意味する。蒸留装置が、蒸留部と凝縮部とを接続する配管を有する場合には、この配管の内部(内壁)も、ライニングされていることを意味する。
絶縁抵抗の大きな有機系処理液を送液する時に、絶縁性の高いライニング部材を用いると、送液時に有機系処理液が帯電することがあり、取扱安全性を確保のために、送液工程に帯電防止施策を導入することが更に好ましい。帯電防止施策としては、Na、K、Ca、Fe、Cu、Mg、Mn、Li、Al、Cr、Ni、及び、Znの金属元素を含まない導電性粒子(例えはカーボン粒子)等を含むライニング部材を用いる、又は、Na、K、Ca、Fe、Cu、Mg、Mn、Li、Al、Cr、Ni、及び、Znの金属元素を含まず導電性があり、送液する有機系処理液に対する耐性が高いアース線を配管中に這わせるという方法がある。
あるいは、送液工程において、有機系処理液と接触する部分は、流路の内壁がフッ素含有樹脂により形成されていることも好ましい。この場合、上記の帯電防止策として、内壁がフッ素含有樹脂により形成された流路を有する配管であって、導電性を有するものを採用することも好ましい。
有機系処理液の製造方法において、有機系処理液は、ポリエチレン樹脂、ポリプロピレン樹脂、及び、ポリエチレン-ポリプロピレン樹脂からなる群より選択される1種以上の樹脂と接触する工程を有さないことが好ましい。これにより、特に、上記した「炭素数22以下のアルキルオレフィン含有量が0.8ppm以下である」という要件を満たす有機系処理液を、より好適に得ることができる。これら樹脂の絶縁性が高い場合は、帯電防止策を検討することが、取扱安全性確保のために好ましい。
防錆・金属溶出防止処理が施された金属における金属としては、炭素鋼、合金鋼、ニッケルクロム鋼、ニッケルクロムモリブデン鋼、クロム鋼、クロムモリブデン鋼、マンガン鋼等を挙げることができる。
防錆・金属溶出防止処理としては、皮膜技術を適用することが好ましい。
皮膜技術としては、金属被覆(各種メッキ)、無機被覆(各種化成処理、ガラス、コンクリート、セラミックスなど)及び有機被覆(さび止め油、塗料、ゴム、プラスチックス)を挙げることができる。
好ましい皮膜技術としては、錆止め油、錆止め剤、腐食抑制剤、キレート化合物、可剥性プラスチック、ライニング剤による表面処理が挙げられる。
中でも、各種のクロム酸塩、亜硝酸塩、ケイ酸塩、燐酸塩、オレイン酸、ダイマー酸、ナフテン酸等のカルボン酸、カルボン酸金属石鹸、スルホン酸塩、アミン塩、エステル(高級脂肪酸のグリセリンエステルや燐酸エステル)などの腐食抑制剤、エチレンジアンテトラ酢酸、グルコン酸、ニトリロトリ酢酸、ヒドロキシエチルエチオレンジアミン三作酸、ジエチレントリアミン五作酸などのキレート化合物及びフッ素含有樹脂によるライニングが好ましい。特に好ましいのは、燐酸塩処理とフッ素含有樹脂によるライニングである。
また、直接的な被覆処理と比較して、直接、錆を防ぐわけではないが、被覆処理による防錆期間の延長につながる処理方法として、防錆処理にかかる前の段階である「前処理」を採用することも好ましい。
このような前処理の具体例としは、金属表面に存在する塩化物や硫酸塩などの種々の腐食因子を、洗浄や研磨によって除去する処理を好適に挙げることができる。
ここで、シール部とは、収容部と外気とを遮断可能な部材を意味し、パッキンやOリングなどを好適に挙げることができる。
特に好ましいフッ素含有樹脂としては、四フッ化エチレン樹脂、四フッ化エチレン・パーフルオロアルキルビニルエーテル共重合体、四フッ化エチレン-六フッ化プロピレン共重合樹脂を挙げることができる。一般的にフッ素樹脂の絶縁性は樹脂の中でも高い。そのため、有機系処理液の取扱安全性を確保するためには、帯電防止策を施して使用することが好ましい。
本発明の有機処理液の蒸留工程としては、化学工業で広く使用されている既知の方法が適用出来る。例えば、有機処理液が酢酸ブチルである場合は、特許4259815号公報及び特許4059685号公報に記載された方法を例として挙げることができる。
(ア)レジスト組成物により膜(レジスト膜)を形成する工程、
(イ)該膜を露光する工程、及び
(ウ)露光した膜を、有機系現像液を用いて現像する工程、
を含む。
ここで、工程(ウ)における有機系現像液は、上記した本発明のレジスト膜のパターニング用有機系処理液としての有機系現像液であり、その具体例及び好ましい例は上記した通りである。
本発明のパターン形成方法は、露光工程の後に、加熱工程を有することが好ましい。
また、本発明のパターン形成方法は、アルカリ現像液を用いて現像する工程を更に有していてもよい。
本発明のパターン形成方法は、露光工程を、複数回有することができる。
本発明のパターン形成方法は、加熱工程を、複数回有することができる。
また、露光工程の後かつ現像工程の前に、露光後加熱工程(PEB;Post Exposure Bake)を含むことも好ましい。
加熱温度はPB、PEB共に70~130℃で行うことが好ましく、80~120℃で行うことがより好ましい。
加熱時間は30~300秒が好ましく、30~180秒がより好ましく、30~90秒が更に好ましい。
加熱は通常の露光・現像機に備わっている手段で行うことができ、ホットプレート等を用いて行っても良い。
ベークにより露光部の反応が促進され、感度やパターンプロファイルが改善する。
液浸露光方法とは、解像力を高める技術として、投影レンズと試料の間に高屈折率の液体(以下、「液浸液」ともいう)で満たし露光する技術である。
前述したように、この「液浸の効果」はλ0を露光光の空気中での波長とし、nを空気に対する液浸液の屈折率、θを光線の収束半角としNA0=sinθとすると、液浸した場合、解像力及び焦点深度は次式で表すことができる。ここで、k1及びk2はプロセスに関係する係数である。
(解像力)=k1・(λ0/n)/NA0
(焦点深度)=±k2・(λ0/n)/NA0 2
すなわち、液浸の効果は波長が1/nの露光波長を使用するのと等価である。言い換えれば、同じNAの投影光学系の場合、液浸により、焦点深度をn倍にすることができる。これは、あらゆるパターン形状に対して有効であり、更に、現在検討されている位相シフト法、変形照明法などの超解像技術と組み合わせることが可能である。
このような添加剤としては、例えば、水とほぼ等しい屈折率を有する脂肪族系のアルコールが好ましく、具体的にはメチルアルコール、エチルアルコール、イソプロピルアルコール等が挙げられる。水とほぼ等しい屈折率を有するアルコールを添加することにより、水中のアルコール成分が蒸発して含有濃度が変化しても、液体全体としての屈折率変化を極めて小さくできるといった利点が得られる。
また、液浸液の屈折率を高めることにより、リソグラフィー性能を高めることが可能である。このような観点から、屈折率を高めるような添加剤を水に加えたり、水の代わりに重水(D2O)を用いてもよい。
液浸露光工程に於いては、露光ヘッドが高速でウェハ上をスキャンし露光パターンを形成していく動きに追随して、液浸液がウェハ上を動く必要があるので、動的な状態に於けるレジスト膜に対する液浸液の接触角が重要になり、液滴が残存することなく、露光ヘッドの高速なスキャンに追随する性能がレジストには求められる。
トップコートは、193nmにおける透明性という観点からは、芳香族を含有しないポリマーが好ましい。
具体的には、炭化水素ポリマー、アクリル酸エステルポリマー、ポリメタクリル酸、ポリアクリル酸、ポリビニルエーテル、シリコン含有ポリマー、及びフッ素含有ポリマーなどが挙げられる。後述の疎水性樹脂(D)はトップコートとしても好適なものである。トップコートから液浸液へ不純物が溶出すると光学レンズが汚染されるため、トップコートに含まれるポリマーの残留モノマー成分は少ない方が好ましい。
トップコートと液浸液との間には屈折率の差がないか又は小さいことが好ましい。この場合、解像力を向上させることが可能となる。露光光源がArFエキシマレーザー(波長:193nm)の場合には、液浸液として水を用いることが好ましいため、ArF液浸露光用トップコートは、水の屈折率(1.44)に近いことが好ましい。また、透明性及び屈折率の観点から、トップコートは薄膜であることが好ましい。
更に、上記アルカリ性水溶液にアルコール類、界面活性剤を適当量添加して使用することもできる。
アルカリ現像液のアルカリ濃度は、通常0.1~20質量%である。
アルカリ現像液のpHは、通常10.0~15.0である。
特に、テトラメチルアンモニウムヒドロキシドの2.38%質量の水溶液が望ましい。
なお、有機系現像液による現像と、アルカリ現像液による現像を組み合わせることにより、US8,227,183BのFIG.1~11などで説明されているように、マスクパターンの1/2の線幅のパターンを解像することが期待できる。
また、現像処理又はリンス処理の後に、パターン上に付着している現像液又はリンス液を超臨界流体により除去する処理を行うことができる。
上記各種の現像方法が、現像装置の現像ノズルから現像液をレジスト膜に向けて吐出する工程を含む場合、吐出される現像液の吐出圧(吐出される現像液の単位面積あたりの流速)は好ましくは2mL/sec/mm2以下、より好ましくは1.5mL/sec/mm2以下、更に好ましくは1mL/sec/mm2以下である。流速の下限は特に無いが、スループットを考慮すると0.2mL/sec/mm2以上が好ましい。
吐出される現像液の吐出圧を上記の範囲とすることにより、現像後のレジスト残渣に由来するパターンの欠陥を著しく低減することができる。
このメカニズムの詳細は定かではないが、恐らくは、吐出圧を上記範囲とすることで、現像液がレジスト膜に与える圧力が小さくなり、レジスト膜・レジストパターンが不用意に削られたり崩れたりすることが抑制されるためと考えられる。
なお、現像液の吐出圧(mL/sec/mm2)は、現像装置中の現像ノズル出口における値である。
これら塗布現像装置には、標準的に、POUフィルターと呼ばれる接続薬液用フィルター(処理液用フィルター)が搭載されている。
よって、現像工程又は後述するリンス工程において、POU搭載塗布現像装置(処理液用フィルターが搭載された現像装置)を使用するとともに、本発明のパターニング用有機系処理液(特に有機系現像液)をPOUフィルターを通過させて現像に使用してもよい。
1.新品POUフィルター使用時は、POUフィルターを装置にセット直後に使用する処理液を10L以上の量で通液することが好ましい。
2.6時間以上使用しない時間が空いた場合には、使用直前に1L以上のダミーディスペンスを実施することが好ましい。
POUフィルターとしては、フォトクリーンEZD、フォトクリーンEZD-2、フォトクリーンEZD-2X(以上、日本ポール株式会社製)、インパクト2 V2、オプチマイザーST/ST-L(以上、日本インテグリス株式会社製)などが挙げられるが、これらに限定されるものではない。
ここで、有機系リンス液は、上記した本発明のレジスト膜のパターニング用有機系処理液としての有機系リンス液であり、その具体例及び好ましい例は上記した通りである。

レジスト膜2に、ArFエキシマレーザー液浸スキャナー[ASML社製;XT1700i、NA1.20、Dipole(outerσ:0.981/innerσ:0.895)、Y偏向]を用い、ハーフトーンマスクを介してパターン露光した。液浸液としては超純水を用いた。その後、105℃で60秒間ベークを実施した。次いで、上記塗布現像装置により、現像液としての上記現像液(すなわち実施例5の酢酸ブチル)で30秒間現像し、2000回転/分で20秒間現像液をスピン乾燥し、パターン(レジストパターン基板5)を得た。
上記と同様のリソグラフィー評価を、前掲の「特に、EUV露光又は電子線露光の際に、好適に用いることができる樹脂の例」として挙げた樹脂を適宜用い、ArFエキシマレーザー液浸露光ではなく、EUV光及び電子線による露光で行った場合も、良好にパターン形成を行うことができた。
レジスト組成物I-3で使用の塩基性化合物C-3を、上述のベタイン化合物C1-1~C1-8に替えた以外は同様の組成物8例を調製し、実施例12と同様の工程により評価を行ったところ、パターン形成を行うことができた。
実施例10で、酢酸ブチルを塗布現像装置に接続する直前に、酢酸ブチルにトリn-オクチルアミンを加えた以外は同様にして評価を行い、パターン形成を行うことができた。
本出願は、2014年9月30日出願の日本特許出願(特願2014-200457)に基づくものであり、その内容はここに参照として取り込まれる。
