- the inventors of the present invention have disclosed a binary mask blank in which a light shielding film having a laminated structure made of a material containing transition metal and silicon as main metal components and further containing nitrogen as disclosed in Patent Document 1 is formed. Then, a transfer mask having a transfer pattern formed on the light-shielding film is manufactured, and the manufactured transfer mask is inspected for defects. The black defect portion is corrected for EB defects as disclosed in Patent Document 3, that is, black.
- etching was performed by supplying XeF 2 gas to the defective portion and irradiating charged particles such as electrons, it was found that the following problems may occur depending on the film composition of the light shielding film.
- XeF 2 gas is known as an isotropic etching gas for silicon, and its mechanism is the process of surface adsorption, separation into Xe and F, generation of high-order fluoride of silicon, and volatilization.
- a substance containing fluorine such as XeF 2 gas is usually supplied to the black defect portion in a fluid state (particularly gaseous). For this reason, a fluorine-containing substance such as XeF 2 gas comes into contact with other than the black defect portion.
- Silicon that is a component constituting the light-shielding film is difficult to form a highly volatile high-order fluoride if it is silicon that is nitrided, oxidized, or carbonized such as Si 3 N 4 , SiO 2 , SiON, or SiC. Therefore, it has a high etching resistance to fluorine-based gas such as XeF 2 gas, in the case of absence of these other elements with coupling conditions such as silicon, is etched in a fluorine-based gas such as XeF 2 gas tends. For this reason, when a material having a high ratio of unbonded silicon is used for the light-shielding film, there is a problem that a portion that should not be etched is etched and a new defect is generated.
- fluorine-based gas such as XeF 2 gas
- the light shielding film suppresses the surface reflection of the film, so that the surface side layer (upper layer) material has a higher degree of oxidation or nitridation than the substrate side layer (lower layer) material, so that the surface of the light shielding film The reflectance is reduced.
- the light shielding film needs to have a light shielding performance of a predetermined value or more (for example, an optical density (OD) of 2.8 or more). Increasing the degree of oxidation or nitridation in the material tends to decrease the light shielding performance.
- OD optical density
- the influence of the shielding effect has become a problem, and in order to reduce this influence, it is necessary to reduce the thickness of the light shielding film. Therefore, in the layer (lower layer) on the substrate side, it is necessary to suppress the degree of oxidation or nitridation as much as possible in order to ensure light shielding performance with a thin film thickness.
- the lower layer of the light-shielding film has a lower degree of oxidation and nitridation than the upper layer, and the content of silicon in an unbonded state is higher, so the influence of etching with a fluorine-based gas such as XeF 2 gas is remarkable, and the upper and lower layers A level difference will occur. In extreme cases, large undercuts occur.
- the present invention has been made to solve the conventional problems, and the object of the present invention is to provide a mask blank and a transfer device that can suitably apply EB defect correction and can reduce the thickness of the light-shielding film. To provide a mask.

- the inventors of the present invention are mask blanks including a light-shielding film whose main component is a material containing at least one element selected from oxygen and nitrogen in addition to transition metal and silicon.
- the relationship between the etching rate for the fluorine-containing substance in the light-shielding film in a state not irradiated with charged particles and the etching rate for the fluorine-containing substance in the light-shielding film in a state irradiated with charged particles is predetermined. It has been found out that the problem in the case where the conventional EB defect correction is applied can be solved and the light-shielding film can be made thinner by adjusting to.

It is preferable to use a material containing at least one of the components. By providing such an etching mask film 3 on the light shielding film 2, the resist film formed on the mask blank can be thinned.

There is a risk that the CD accuracy with respect to the pattern is greatly reduced. On the other hand, if the film thickness is greater than 20 nm, the resist film thickness required for transferring the design pattern to the etching mask film becomes thick, and it becomes difficult to transfer the fine pattern to the etching mask film with high accuracy.

- the chromium content in the film is increased as described above, it is necessary to make the etching mask film 3 thinner, but the etching mask is used when the light shielding film 2 is dry-etched to form a transfer pattern. It is necessary to satisfy the conditions to function as.
- the upper limit of the thickness of the etching mask film 3 having a high chromium content is desirably 10 nm or less, and more desirably 7 nm or less.

ArFエキシマレーザー露光光が適用され、透光性基板上に転写パターンが形成された遮光膜を有してなる転写用マスクであって、前記遮光膜は、遷移金属およびケイ素に、さらに酸素および窒素から選ばれる少なくとも1つ以上の元素を含む材料を主成分とし、フッ素を含有する物質に対する荷電粒子の照射を受けない状態における前記遮光膜のエッチングレートは、フッ素を含有する物質に対する荷電粒子の照射を受けた状態における前記遮光膜のエッチングレートに対して少なくともエッチング選択性を確保できる遅さであることを特徴とする転写用マスクである。
(構成19)
前記遮光膜は、フッ素を含有する物質に対する荷電粒子の照射を受けない状態でのエッチングレートが0.3nm/sec以下であることを特徴とする構成18に記載の転写用マスクである。
本発明は、ArF露光光が適用される転写用マスクを作成するために用いられ、透光性基板上に、転写パターンを形成するための遮光膜を有するマスクブランクであって、前記遮光膜は、遷移金属およびケイ素に、さらに酸素および窒素から選ばれる少なくとも1つ以上の元素を含む材料を主成分とし、フッ素を含有する物質に対する荷電粒子の照射を受けない状態における前記遮光膜のエッチングレートは、フッ素を含有する物質に対する荷電粒子の照射を受けた状態における前記遮光膜のエッチングレートに対して少なくともエッチング選択性を確保できる遅さであることを特徴とするマスクブランクである。
上層は、下層に露光光に対する反射率の高い材料を用いていることから、上層の厚さが5nm以上は最低限必要である。上述のシャドーイングの問題を考慮すると、遮光膜2全体の膜厚が65nm未満であることが好ましく、主に下層(遮光層)で遮光膜に必要な光学濃度を確保する必要があることから、上層の上限は20nm以下であることが好適である。また、上層は、求められる低反射性と遮光膜全体の望ましい膜厚(60nm以下)を考慮すると、7nm以上15nm以下であることがより望ましい。
また、C及び/又はH(ケイ素炭化物、遷移金属炭化物、水素化ケイ素)の存在により遮光膜のパターニング時のエッチングレートは速くなるため、レジスト膜を厚膜化することなく、解像性や、パターン精度が悪化することはない。また、エッチング時間を短縮することができるので、遮光膜上にエッチングマスク膜を有する構成の場合、エッチングマスク膜のダメージを少なくすることができ、高精細のパターニングが可能となる。
この場合のエッチングは、微細パターンの形成に有効なドライエッチングが好適に用いられる。
(実施例1)
合成石英ガラスからなる透光性基板1上に、枚葉式スパッタ装置を用いて、スパッタターゲットにモリブデン(Mo)とシリコン(Si)との混合ターゲット(原子%比 Mo:Si=21:79)を用い、アルゴンと窒素との混合ガス雰囲気(ガス圧0.07Pa,ガス流量比 Ar:N2=25:28)で、DC電源の電力を2.1kWとし、反応性スパッタリング(DCスパッタリング)により、MoSiN膜(下層(遮光層))を膜厚50nmで成膜し、引き続いて、Mo/Siターゲット(原子%比 Mo:Si=4:96)を用い、アルゴンと酸素と窒素とヘリウムとの混合ガス雰囲気(ガス圧0.1Pa,ガス流量比 Ar:O2:N2:He=6:3:11:17)で、DC電源の電力を3.0kWとし、MoSiON膜(上層(表面反射防止層))を膜厚10nmで成膜することにより、MoSiN膜(膜組成比 Mo:14.7原子%,Si:56.2原子%,N:29.1原子%)とMoSiON膜(膜組成比 Mo:2.6原子%,Si:57.1原子%,O:15.9原子%,N:24.4原子%)との積層からなるArFエキシマレーザー(波長193nm)用遮光膜2(総膜厚60nm)を形成した。なお、遮光膜2の各層の元素分析は、ラザフォード後方散乱分析法を用いた(以下、各実施例、比較例とも同じ)。この遮光膜2の光学濃度(OD)は、ArFエキシマレーザーの露光光の波長に対して、3.0であった。
次に、遮光膜2の上面に、エッチングマスク膜3を形成した。具体的には、枚葉式スパッタ装置で、クロム(Cr)ターゲットを用い、アルゴンと二酸化炭素と窒素とヘリウムとの混合ガス雰囲気(ガス圧0.2Pa,ガス流量比 Ar:CO2:N2:He=21:37:11:31)で、DC電源の電力を1.8kWとし、反応性スパッタリング(DCスパッタリング)により、CrOCN膜を膜厚10nmで成膜した。さらに、エッチングマスク膜3(CrOCN膜)を前記遮光膜2のアニール処理よりも低い温度でアニールすることにより、遮光膜2の膜応力に影響を与えずにエッチングマスク膜3の応力を極力低く(好ましくは膜応力が実質ゼロに)なるように調整した。以上の手順により、バイナリ型マスクブランク10を得た。
まず、上記マスクブランク10上に、電子線描画用化学増幅型ポジレジスト膜4(富士フィルムエレクトロニクスマテリアルズ社製 PRL009)を形成した(図2(a)参照)。
次に上記レジスト膜4に対し、電子線描画装置を用いて所望のパターン描画を行った後(同図(b)参照)、所定の現像液で現像してレジストパターン4aを形成した(同図(c)参照)。なお、このとき、EB欠陥修正の検証を行うために、パターン描画時にプログラム欠陥部分(黒欠陥となる部分)をあらかじめ入れておいた。
次に、残存している上記レジストパターン4aをアッシング処理等により除去した後、上記エッチングマスク膜パターン3aをマスクとして、MoSiN膜とMoSiON膜との積層からなる遮光膜2のドライエッチングを行って遮光膜パターン2aを形成した(同図(e)参照)。ドライエッチングガスとして、SF6とHeの混合ガスを用いた。最後に、酸素と塩素の混合ガス(O2:Cl2=1:4)を用いてエッチングマスク膜パターン3aを除去した(同図(f)参照)。
以上のようにしてバイナリ型の転写用マスク20を得た(同図(f)参照)。
