成する。[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] The present invention relates to constituent materials of X-ray lithography masks, and aims to enable materials with similar thermal expansion coefficients and poor chemical resistance to be used as support frames. Supports an annular molded body whose surface is coated with boron nitride, boron carbonitride, silicon carbide, or silicon nitride, a material that has the same or similar thermal expansion coefficient as silicon and is corroded in the same way by chemicals that corrode silicon. Configure it to be used as a frame.
本発明はX線リソグラフィ用マスクの構成材料に関する
ものである。The present invention relates to constituent materials of masks for X-ray lithography.
X線リソグラフィは半導体装置の製造等に多用されてい
るが、微細パターンの形成を目的とするものであるから
、残留応力などによってパターンが変形することは避け
ねばならない。X-ray lithography is widely used in the manufacture of semiconductor devices, etc., but since its purpose is to form fine patterns, deformation of the pattern due to residual stress must be avoided.
更にその基本構造は、高密度のX線吸収体から成るマス

ころから、現実のX線マスクの構造は製、遣方法に密接
に関わっている。Furthermore, its basic structure is to hold a mask pattern consisting of a high-density X-ray absorber with a membrane so thin that X-ray absorption can be ignored. The structure of a line mask is closely related to the way it is manufactured and used.

模式的に示すものであるが、全体の平面形状は円形であ
り、支持枠そのものは平らな円環形である。A typical known X-ray mask has the structure shown in FIG. In other words, a thin film called a membrane 1 with low X-ray absorption
The basic structure is that an X-ray absorber 2 formed in a predetermined pattern is adhered to the top of the membrane, and a Si wafer 3 is used as an auxiliary material to form the membrane into a perfect plane, and the mechanical strength of the whole is increased. It consists of a support frame 4 for feeding. Although the figure schematically shows a cut surface, the overall planar shape is circular, and the support frame itself is a flat annular shape.

ンの吸収体2を形成するというものである。A general manufacturing method for realizing such a structure is the fourth method.
As shown in Figure (al), a film 1' of SiC or polymer is provided on the surface of the Si wafer 3, and a support frame 4 is bonded as shown in Figure (bl).
A membrane 1 is formed by etching with an F/HNO etching solution, and then an absorber 2 in a predetermined pattern is formed thereon.
この工程では吸収体パターンの形成などにレジスト類が
使用され、そのベーキング等の処理のため200℃程度
に昇温されることが避けられないから、支持枠の熱膨張
係数がStに対し著しく異なると、この熱履歴の応力に
よって歪が発生することになる。In this process, resists are used to form absorber patterns, and it is unavoidable that the temperature is raised to about 200°C for baking and other treatments, so the thermal expansion coefficient of the support frame is significantly different from St. Then, the stress of this thermal history causes distortion.
単に熱膨張係数だけを合わせるのであれば、パイレック
スガラスやSiのバルクを支持枠として用いればよいこ
とになるが、このような材料ではSiウェファを背面か
らエツチングする工程で一緒にエツチングされてしまう
。それを避けようとすれば製造方法が複雑になり、歩留
まり或いはコストの面で不利となる。If only the coefficient of thermal expansion were to be matched, a bulk of Pyrex glass or Si could be used as the support frame, but such materials would be etched together in the process of etching the Si wafer from the back. If an attempt is made to avoid this, the manufacturing method will become complicated, which will be disadvantageous in terms of yield or cost.

The above heat treatment will generate stress. Pyrex has a coefficient of thermal expansion close to St, but has a problem with chemical resistance, and S
It cannot be used as is because it will be attacked by the isotropic etching solution HF/HN○.
SiCのようなセラミックを使用するという着想もある
が、成型精度を高めようとすると、コストが上昇する等
の問題がある。Although there is an idea to use ceramics such as SiC, there are problems such as an increase in cost when trying to improve molding precision.
本発明は熱膨張係数に主眼を置いて材料を選択した場合
、耐エツチング特性に問題が生ずる点を解消しようとす

素で被覆した環状成型体を支持枠とする。Measures for Solving Problem c] In order to solve the problem that glass-based materials such as Pyrex, which have a thermal expansion coefficient close to that of Si, are similarly attacked by St etching liquid, in the present invention The supporting frame is an annular molded body whose surface is coated with boron nitride, boron carbonitride, silicon carbide, or silicon nitride, and the surface of a material that has a coefficient of corrosion and is corroded in the same way by chemicals that corrode silicon.

。従って支持枠の表面にこれ等の材料を被覆しておけば

枠が損傷を受けることがない。Materials such as boron nitride, boron carbonitride, silicon carbide, and silicon nitride are materials that are also used as membranes, and have the characteristic that they are not attacked by ordinary St etching solutions. Therefore, if the surface of the support frame is coated with these materials, the support frame will not be damaged even during the process of etching the Si wafer from the back side.

At this time, the support frame is coated with SiC, so that it will not be attacked by the etching solution.

SiN or polymer can be used, and the same material as the membrane can be used to cover the support frame. Use of the same material for the membrane and support frame coating film is advantageous in selecting an etching solution.

It can be formed well.
