Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the need for performing a reversal bake process as well as a lump exposure process and simplify the concerned facilitates and processes, by causing a positive type resist to be exposed to convergent ion beams that exceed the proper amount of exposure and removing selectively parts that are not exposed yet by a developer, thereby forming a pattern. CONSTITUTION:A novolak, positive type resist 11 is applied on a semiconductor substrate 12 and it is baked. After that, a pattern allows the novalk, positive type resist 11 to be exposed to Be convergent ion beams 13. In such a case, the accelerated energy of the Be convergent ion beams 13 comes to 260keV and the amount of exposure comes to approximately 1X10<13>ions/cm<2>. After that, a reverse image pattern is formed by developing it in a mixing solution; a potassium hydroxide saturated solution developer: pure water=1:3.5 for 300sec. and even a fine pattern up to 0.1mum in width is obtained. In this way, after performing a pattern exposure to convergent ion beams, a reversal baking process to cause negative reversal as well as a lump exposure process to perform UV ray treatment for removing parts that are not exposed yet can be omitted and then the concerned facilities and processes are simplified.

(Prior art and its problems) A pattern forming method using image reversal of a positive resist allows both a positive resist pattern and a negative resist pattern to be obtained with one type of positive resist, simplifying the process and equipment. In addition, it has excellent features such as being able to measure the dimensional accuracy of the pattern due to the effects of standing waves. Further, by using focused ion beam exposure for pattern exposure, it is possible to form a fine pattern of about 0.1 μm, which is difficult to form with light exposure or electron beam exposure.

Positive resist 41 (fourth resist) coated on semiconductor substrate 42
In FIG. 4(a), pattern exposure is performed using a focused ion beam 43 at an appropriate exposure amount (FIG. 4(b)). Next, a reversal bake is performed to cause negative reversal of the exposed portion (FIG. 4(C)). Further, a batch exposure is performed with far ultraviolet light 44, and the unexposed portions in the previous pattern exposure are exposed at an appropriate exposure amount (FIG. 4(d)). Finally, by performing development, an image reversal pattern is formed (FIG. 4(e)). However, this conventional method involves a reversal bake to cause image reversal and a batch exposure with far ultraviolet light to remove unexposed areas, and is compared with a normal pattern forming method using a negative resist. However, this method has the problem of complicating the process and equipment. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an image reversal pattern forming method that has simpler steps than the conventional method.

It has the property of being soluble.

However, if this positive resist is exposed to more exposure energy than is necessary to induce a chemical reaction of the photosensitive groups and become soluble in a specific developer, the reaction of the photosensitive groups will proceed and the photoresist will become soluble in the developer. Negative reaction phenomena occur, such as the resist becoming insoluble, or the molecular weight of the resist increasing due to a crosslinking reaction between the base polymers, making the resist insoluble. Also, the exposure energy required to cause this negative reaction is
Due to its low energy density, it cannot be provided by optical exposure, and requires a charged particle beam. When comparing electron beams and ion beams as charged particle beams, due to the difference in energy density per unit volume in the resist due to the large difference in mass between electrons and ions,
When electrons are used, an exposure dose that is one to two orders of magnitude higher than that of ions is required, and electrons are strongly influenced by the proximity effect and charge accumulation, making it difficult to form fine patterns with good clarity. Second
The figure shows a novolac positive resist I- coated to a thickness of 0.5 μm on a substrate, exposed to a Be focused ion beam with an acceleration energy of 260 keV, and a potassium hydroxide saturated aqueous solution developer: pure water-1:3.5. It shows the relationship between the exposure amount and the resist remaining film rate obtained as a result of developing in a mixed solution for 150 seconds. Here, the resist remaining film rate is expressed as a normalized remaining film rate based on the coating film thickness.

A resist in a negative reversal state is in a state where the molecular weight has increased due to crosslinking of the polymer, the photosensitive groups have become insolubilized, and the insolubilization has progressed further compared to the unexposed areas. It is possible to selectively remove only the FIG. 3 shows the relationship between the development time and the normalized residual film rate of a novolac positive type resist at an acceleration energy of 260 keV and a negative reversal area caused by exposure with Be ions and an unexposed area. The developer used was a mixture of potassium hydroxide saturated aqueous solution developer: pure water - 1:3°5, and the exposure amount for the negative reversal area was 1 x 1013 ions.
/cm2. The experimental results show that for novolak positive resists, the residual film rate decreases linearly with development time even in unexposed areas, but the residual film rate does not decrease at all in areas where negative reversal has occurred. There is. Therefore, based on these results, by performing pattern exposure so that negative reversal occurs by focused ion beam exposure, an image reversal pattern can be formed without performing a subsequent batch exposure.
