本工程では、本発明に用いられる組成物を基板上に塗布し、レジスト被膜を形成する。基板としては、例えばシリコンウェハ、アルミニウムで被覆されたウェハ等の従来公知の基板を使用できる。また、例えば特公平6-12452号公報や特開昭59-93448号公報等に開示されている有機系又は無機系の反射防止膜を基板上に形成してもよい。
本工程では、(1)工程で形成したレジスト被膜の所望の領域に特定パターンのマスク、及び必要に応じて液浸液を介して縮小投影することにより露光を行う。例えば、所望の領域にアイソラインパターンマスクを介して縮小投影露光を行うことにより、アイソトレンチパターンを形成できる。また、露光は所望のパターンとマスクパターンによって2回以上行ってもよい。2回以上露光を行う場合、露光は連続して行うことが好ましい。複数回露光する場合、例えば所望の領域にラインアンドスペースパターンマスクを介して第1の縮小投影露光を行い、続けて第1の露光を行った露光部に対してラインが交差するように第2の縮小投影露光を行う。第1の露光部と第2の露光部とは直交することが好ましい。直交することにより、露光部で囲まれた未露光部において真円状のコンタクトホールパターンが形成しやすくなる。なお、露光の際に用いられる液浸液としては水やフッ素系不活性液体等が挙げられる。液浸液は、露光波長に対して透明であり、かつ膜上に投影される光学像の歪みを最小限に留めるよう屈折率の温度係数ができる限り小さい液体が好ましいが、特に露光光源がArFエキシマレーザー光(波長193nm)である場合、上述の観点に加えて、入手の容易さ、取り扱いのし易さといった点から水を用いるのが好ましい。水を用いる場合、水の表面張力を減少させるとともに、界面活性力を増大させる添加剤を僅かな割合で添加しても良い。この添加剤は、ウェハ上のレジスト層を溶解させず、かつレンズの下面の光学コートに対する影響が無視できるものが好ましい。使用する水としては蒸留水が好ましい。

本発明のレジストパターン形成方法に用いられる感放射線性樹脂組成物は、[A]重合体成分及び[B]酸発生体を含有する。さらに、本発明の効果を損なわない限り、任意成分を含有してもよい。以下、各成分について詳述する。
[A]重合体成分は、酸解離性基を有する重合体を含む重合体成分である。[A]重合体成分を構成する1種類の重合体からなってもよく、複数種の重合体からなっていてもよい。[A]重合体成分の酸解離性基の含有形態としては特に限定されず、酸解離性基を有する重合体のみからなっていてもよく、酸解離性基を有する重合体と酸解離性基を有しない重合体とからなっていてもよい。酸解離性基とは、カルボキシル基、水酸基等の水素原子を置換する基であって、露光により[B]酸発生体から発生する酸の作用により解離する基を意味する。
同一又は異なる重合体中に、炭化水素基(a1)を有する構造単位(I)及び炭化水素基(a2)を有する構造単位(II)を含み、
炭化水素基(a1)が、置換されていてもよい炭素数8以下の分岐鎖状基又は置換されていてもよい環炭素数3~8の単環の脂肪族環式基であり、

炭化水素基(a1)に対する炭化水素基(a2)のモル比が1未満であり、かつ
水酸基を有する構造単位の含有割合が5モル%未満である。
構造単位(I)は、置換されていてもよい炭素数8以下の分岐鎖状基又は置換されていてもよい環炭素数3~8の単環の脂肪族環式基である炭化水素基(a1)を有する構造単位である。炭化水素基(a1)の価数は特に限定されない。炭化水素基(a1)としては、置換されていてもよい炭素数8以下の分岐鎖状基又は置換されていてもよい環炭素数3~8の単環の脂肪族環式基である限り、アルキル基、アルケニル基、アルキニル基、単環のシクロアルキル基、これらの水素原子の一部又は全部が置換された基等の1価の基であっても、アルカンジイル基、アルカントリイル基、シクロアルカンジイル基、シクロアルカントリイル基、これらの水素原子の一部又は全部が置換された基等の2価以上の基であってもよいが、[A]重合体成分の重合体の剛直性が適度に低減される結果、CDU等のリソグラフィー特性が向上する観点から、1価が好ましい。構造単位(I)中の炭化水素基(a1)の数は特に限定されず、1個でも複数個でもよいが、1個が好ましい。構造単位(I)は、炭化水素基(a1)を1種、又は2種以上有していてもよい。上記置換基としては、特に限定されないが、例えば、ヒドロキシル基、カルボニル基、シアノ基、ニトロ基、スルホンアミド基等の極性基、アルキル基、上記極性基を有するアルキル基等が挙げられる。

環炭素数3~8の単環の脂肪族環式基として、シクロプロピル基、1-メチルシクロプロピル基、シクロブチル基、1-メチルシクロブチル基、1-エチルシクロブチル基、シクロペンチル基、1-メチルシクロペンチル基、1-エチルシクロペンチル基、1-n-プロピルシクロペンチル基、1-i-プロピルシクロペンチル基、シクロヘキシル基、1-メチルシクロヘキシル基、1-エチルシクロヘキシル基、1-n-プロピルシクロヘキシル基、1-i-プロピルシクロヘキシル基、シクロヘプチル基、1-メチルシクロヘプチル基、1-エチルシクロヘプチル基、1-n-プロピルシクロヘプチル基、1-i-プロピルシクロヘプチル基、シクロオクチル基、1-メチルシクロオクチル基、1-エチルシクロオクチル基、1-n-プロピルシクロオクチル基、1-i-プロピルシクロオクチル基等が挙げられる。
構造単位(II)は、アダマンタン骨格を有する炭化水素基(a2)を含む構造単位である。炭化水素基(a2)が嵩高いアダマンタン骨格を有することで、得られるレジスト被膜のエッチング耐性を高めることができる。炭化水素基(a2)の価数は特に限定されない。炭化水素基(a2)としては、アダマンタン骨格を有する限り、アダマンチル基等の1価の基であっても、アダマンタンジイル基、アダマンタントリイル基等の2価以上の基であってもよいが、[A]重合体成分の重合体が適度に低減される結果、CDU等のリソグラフィー特性が向上する観点から、1価が好ましい。構造単位(II)中の炭化水素基(a2)の数は特に限定されず1個でも複数個でもよいが、1個が好ましい。構造単位(II)は、炭化水素基(a2)を1種、又は2種以上有していてもよい。また、炭化水素基(a2)は、その水素原子の一部又は全部が、上記極性基、アルキル基、脂環式炭化水素基、これらを組み合わせた基等で置換されていてもよい。
1-アダマンチル基、2-アダマンチル基、2-メチル-2-アダマンチル基、2-エチル-2-アダマンチル基、2-n-プロピル-2-アダマンチル基、2-i-プロピル-2-アダマンチル基1-アダマンチル-2-プロピル基、2-アダマンチル-2-プロピル基等が挙げられる。
Rp1、Rp2及びRp3は、それぞれ独立して、ヒドロキシル基、シアノ基、ニトロ基又はスルホンアミド基である。Ra1及びRa2は、それぞれ独立して、メチレン基又は炭素数2~10のアルキレン基である。Ra3は、単結合又はメチレン基である。q1は、1~6の整数である。q2及びq3は、それぞれ独立して、1~15の整数である。Rp1、Rp2及びRa1がそれぞれ複数の場合、複数のRp1、Rp2及びRa1はそれぞれ同一でも異なっていてもよい。但し、*は上記式(2)におけるエステル基への結合部位を示す。
[A]重合体成分において、上記炭化水素基(a1)に対する炭化水素基(a2)のモル比は、1未満であることを要する。上記炭化水素基(a1)に対する炭化水素基(a2)のモル比が1未満であることで、露光部における[A]重合体成分の溶解性の抑制と炭素含有率の高さをバランスさせることができると考えられ、その結果、得られるレジスト被膜のパターン形成後の膜減りの抑制と高いエッチング耐性とを併立させることができる。加えて、CDU等のリソグラフィー特性に優れるレジストパターンを得ることができる。
[A]重合体成分は、ラクトン基及び環状カーボネート基からなる群より選ばれる少なくとも1種を有する構造単位(以下、「構造単位(III)」ともいう)をさらに有することが好ましい。[A]重合体成分が、ラクトン基及び/又は環状カーボネート基を有する構造単位をさらに含むことで、レジスト被膜と基板との密着性等、レジスト基本特性をより向上させることができる。また、レジスト被膜の現像液への可溶性を高めることができる。ここで、ラクトン基とは、-O-C(O)-で表される結合を含むひとつの環(ラクトン環)を含有する環式基を示す。また、環状カーボネート基とは、-O-C(O)-O-で表される結合を含むひとつの環(環状カーボネート環)を含有する環式基を示す。ラクトン環又は環状カーボネート環を1つめの環として数え、ラクトン環又は環状カーボネート環のみの場合は単環式基、さらに他の環構造を有する場合は、その構造に関わらず多環式基と称する。
[A]重合体成分は、上記構造単位(I)~(III)以外にも、構造単位(I)及び構造単位(II)に該当しない水酸基を有する構造単位等のその他の構造単位をさらに有していてもよい。
本発明において、[A]重合体成分における水酸基を有する構造単位の含有割合としては、[A]重合体成分を構成する全構造単位に対して5モル%未満であることを要する。[A]重合体成分における水酸基を有する構造単位の含有割合が5モル%未満であることで、上述した炭化水素基(a1)と炭化水素基(a2)との含有比が所定値未満であることとの相乗効果により、得られるレジスト被膜のパターン形成後の膜減りの抑制と、高いエッチング耐性との併立を可能にする。また、膜減りを抑制することに加えて、[A]重合体成分の酸解離性基の解離前後での[A]重合体成分の極性変化をより増大させることができるので、その結果、CDU等のリソグラフィー特性を向上させることができる。
[A]重合体成分を構成する重合体は、例えば所定の各構造単位に対応する単量体を、ラジカル重合開始剤を使用し、適当な溶媒中で重合することにより製造できる。例えば、単量体及びラジカル開始剤を含有する溶液を、反応溶媒又は単量体を含有する溶液に滴下して重合反応させる方法;単量体を含有する溶液と、ラジカル開始剤を含有する溶液とを各別に、反応溶媒又は単量体を含有する溶液に滴下して重合反応させる方法;各々の単量体を含有する複数種の溶液と、ラジカル開始剤を含有する溶液とを各別に、反応溶媒又は単量体を含有する溶液に滴下して重合反応させる方法等の方法で合成することが好ましい。
[B]酸発生体は、露光により酸を発生し、その酸により[A]重合体成分中に存在する酸解離性基を解離させ酸を発生させる。当該感放射線性樹脂組成物における[B]酸発生体の含有形態としては、後述するような化合物の形態(以下、適宜「[B]酸発生剤」ということがある。)でも、重合体の一部として組み込まれた形態でも、これらの両方の形態でもよい。

3価の連結基として、アルカントリイル基、シクロアルカントリイル基、アレーントリイル基等が挙げられる。
4価の連結基として、アルカンテトライル基、シクロアルカンテトライル基、アレーンテトライル基等が挙げられる。
当該感放射線性樹脂組成物は、フッ素原子含有重合体([A]重合体成分を除く)を含有していてもよい。当該感放射線性樹脂組成物が、フッ素原子含有重合体を含有することで、レジスト被膜を形成した際に、膜中のフッ素原子含有重合体の撥油性的特徴により、その分布がレジスト被膜表面近傍で偏在化する傾向があるので、液浸露光時における酸発生剤や酸拡散制御剤等が液浸媒体に溶出することを抑制することができる。また、このフッ素原子含有重合体の撥水性的特徴により、レジスト被膜と液浸媒体との前進接触角が所望の範囲に制御でき、バブル欠陥の発生を抑制できる。さらに、レジスト被膜と液浸媒体との後退接触角が高くなり、水滴が残らずに高速でのスキャン露光が可能となる。このように当該感放射線性樹脂組成物がフッ素原子含有重合体を含有することにより、液浸露光法に好適なレジスト被膜を形成することができる。
上記フッ素原子含有重合体は、例えば所定の各構造単位を与える単量体を、ラジカル重合開始剤を使用し、適当な溶媒中で重合することにより合成できる。

実施例14において、上記実施例及び比較例で調製した各感放射線性樹脂組成物を用い、PEB温度を表4に記載した温度とした以外は、実施例14と同様に操作して、レジストパターンを形成した。
レジスト被膜の膜減り量については、下記方法によってレジスト被膜を形成し評価した。また、CDU、MEEF、解像性、及びエッチング耐性については、実施例14~26及び比較例1~7において形成したレジストパターンについて下記の方法にて評価を行った。結果を表4に示す。
まず、膜厚77nmの下層反射防止膜(ARC29A、ブルワー・サイエンス製)を形成した8インチシリコンウェハ上に、上記実施例及び比較例で調製した感放射線性樹脂組成物によって、初期膜厚150nmの被膜を形成し、90℃で60秒間ソフトベーク(SB)を行った。次に、この被膜を、ArFエキシマレーザー露光装置(NSR-S306C、NIKON製)を用い、NA=0.78、sigma=0.90、Conventionalの条件により、マスクを介する事無く、上記の直径55nmのホールパターンを形成する最適露光量(Eop)(単位:mJ/cm2)でウェハ全面を露光した。露光後、PEBを表4に記載の温度で60秒間行った。その後、酢酸ブチルにより23℃で30秒間現像し、4-メチル-2-ペンタノールで10秒間リンス処理を行った後、乾燥を行った。一連のプロセス完了後の残存被膜の膜厚を測定し、初期膜厚から残存膜厚を引いた値を膜減り量(単位:nm)とした。なお、膜厚測定には光干渉式膜厚測定装置(「ラムダエース」、大日本スクリーン製造製)を用いた。測定された膜減り量が、20nm未満の場合を「A」と、20nm以上の場合を「B」として評価した。得られた膜減り量の値と、評価について下記表4に示す。
上記各実施例及び比較例のレジストパターン形成において上記Eopにて形成された直径55nmのホールパターンを計30個測長し、計30個の測長値の平均偏差を算出し、3倍した値をCDUとして算出した。CDUの値が2.5未満の場合を「A」と、2.5以上3.0未満の場合を「B」、3.0以上の場合を「C」として評価した。得られたCDUの値と評価について下記表4に示す。
上記各実施例及び比較例のレジストパターン形成の場合と同様にして、上記Eopにて、縮小投影後のパターンのドット直径が51nm、53nm、55nm、57nm、59nmとなるマスクパターン部分を用いてレジスト被膜に形成されたホールの直径(nm)を縦軸に、マスクパターンのサイズ(nm)を横軸にプロットしたときの直線の傾きをMEEFとして算出した。MEEF(直線の傾き)は、その値が1に近いほどマスク再現性が良好であることを示す。値が3.5未満の場合を「A」と、3.5以上4.5未満の場合を「B」と、4.5以上の場合を「C」として評価した。得られたMEEFの値と評価について下記表4に示す。
上記各実施例及び比較例のレジストパターン形成において、上記Eop以上の露光量にて縮小投影後のパターンが55nmドット110nmピッチとなるマスクパターンを介して露光した際、露光量の増加に伴い得られるホールパターンの最小寸法を測定し解像性(単位:nm)を評価した。最小寸法が48nm未満の場合を「A」と、48nm以上の場合を「B」と評価した。得られた解像性と評価について下記表4に示す。
ウェハ表面に有機反射防止膜形成剤(ARC66、日産化学製)を塗布し、膜厚105nmの有機反射防止膜を形成した。上記実施例及び合成例の感放射線性樹脂組成物を上記基板の表面に、クリーントラック(ACT12、東京エレクトロン製)を用いて、スピンコートにより塗布し、ホットプレート上にて、90℃で60秒間ソフトベークを行い、膜厚0.10μmのレジスト被膜を形成した。次いで、基板上のレジスト被膜に上記の直径55nmのホールパターンを形成する最適露光量(Eop)の3倍の露光量でウェハ表面を露光した。露光後、PEBを表4に記載の温度で60秒間行い、酢酸ブチルにより23℃で30秒間現像し、4-メチル-2-ペンタノールで10秒間リンス処理を行った後、乾燥を行った。その後、露光する前のレジスト被膜と、リンス処理までの一連のプロセス完了後のレジスト被膜について、それぞれエッチングレートを測定した。一連のプロセス完了後のレジスト被膜のエッチングレートと露光する前のレジスト被膜のエッチングレートとの差が、露光する前のレジスト被膜のエッチングレートの10%以内の場合を「A」と、10%を超える場合を「B」と評価した。得られたエッチングレートの差の値及び評価を下記表4に示す。上記レジスト被膜のエッチングレート測定は、エッチングシステム(Telius、東京エレクトロン製)を用い、下記のエッチング条件により実施した。
