Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to field of manufacturing electronic devices, and more specifically to the field of materials for use in semiconductor manufacture.
- Photoresist underlayer compositions are used in the semiconductor industry as etch masks for lithography in advanced technology nodes for integrated circuit manufacturing. These compositions are often used in tri-layer and quad-layer photoresist integration schemes, where an organic or silicon containing anti-reflective coating and a patternable photoresist film layers are disposed on the bottom layer having a high carbon content.
- An ideal photoresist underlayer material should possess certain specific characteristics: it should be capable of being cast onto a substrate by a spin-coating process, should be thermally set upon heating with low out-gassing and sublimation, should be soluble in common solvents for good spin bowl compatibility, should have appropriate n & k values to work in conjunction with the anti-reflective coating layer to impart low reflectivity necessary for photoresist imaging, and should have high thermal stability to avoid being damaged during later processing steps.
- the ideal photoresist underlayer material has to provide a planar film upon spin-coating and thermal curing over a substrate with topography and sufficient dry etch selectivity to silicon-containing layers located above and below the photoresist underlayer films in order to transfer the photo-patterns into the final substrate in an accurate manner.
- Cross-linkable novolac resins have been used for underlayer applications.
- Novolacs are the product of condensation polymerization of one or more activated aromatic compounds with another monomer selected from aliphatic or aromatic carbonyl compounds, benzyl ethers, benzyl alcohols, or benzyl halides.
- the most widely studied novolac resins are the products of polycondensation of activated aromatic derivatives with formaldehyde-type or aromatic aldehyde co-monomers. These resins have found widespread application in a variety of lithographic compositions. However, their rigid and highly aromatic backbone often results in a resin having an increased glass transition temperature that can inhibit the gap-fill and planarizing characteristics of the resins.

- novolac resins are the products of polycondensation of activated aromatic derivatives with formaldehyde-type or aromatic aldehyde comonomers. These resins have found widespread application in a variety of lithographic compositions.

- Each underlayer composition was coated on a template coupon using a spin coater and a spin rate of 1500 rpm+/ ⁇ 200 rpm.
- the target film thickness was 100 nm after curing, and the composition dilution was adjusted accordingly to give approximately the target film thickness after curing.
- the films were cured by placing the wafer on a hot plate at 240° C. for 60 sec. Planarization quality of the films across a step was evaluated by KLA Tencor P-7 stylus profilometer.
- planarization quality is defined as follows: A indicates a change in height of less than 30 nm, B indicates a change in height of greater than 30 nm. Lower numbers indicate superior planarization performance, so A represents best planarization, and B represents worst planarization performance.
- inventive underlayer compositions have superior planarization performance as compared to the comparative underlayer compositions.
