摘要:

化学放大光刻胶(CARs)由于其在分辨率和灵敏度方面的出色性能而广泛应用于光刻领域。 本文报道了一种基于单分子树脂的多用途化学放大光刻胶SP8-PAGAN,可同时用于365 nm光刻和电子束光刻。 该体系主要由螺二芴结构的单分子树脂主体材料(SP-8Boc)和N-(三氟甲基磺酸酯基)蒽-1,9-二羧酰亚胺非离子型光致产酸剂(PAGAn)组成。 测试了产酸剂PAGAN在365 nm紫外光激发下的光致产酸效率ΦH+为23%。 研究了SP8-PAGAN光刻胶的365 nm光刻和电子束光刻性能。 365 nm光刻中,分别利用四甲基氢氧化胺(TMAH,质量分数2.38%)水溶液和正己烷作为显影液,可实现1 μm正性和负性光刻图案。 电子束光刻中,可实现50 nm Line/Space(L/S)的正性密集线条图案(曝光剂量110 μC/cm2),32 nm L/S的负性密集线条图案(曝光剂量40 μC/cm2)以及19 nm L/3S负性半密集线条图案(曝光剂量96 μC/cm2)。 本研究工作提供了一种具有双重显影特性的多用途单分子树脂化学放大光刻胶的新范例。

Abstract:

Chemically amplified photoresists (CARs) are widely used in photolithography due to their excellent performance in resolution and sensitivity. This paper reports a CAR (SP8-PAGAN) based on molecule glass of SP8-Boc and photo-acid generator of N-hydroxytrifluoromethylsulfonate anthracene-1,9-dicarboxyimide. The SP8-PAGAN photoresist can be used for both 365 nm lithography and electron beam lithography (EBL). The quantum efficiency of acid generation (ΦH+) for the PAGAN is 23% under 365 nm excitation. 1 μm positive and negative lithographic patterns can be achieved with SP8-PAGAN photoresist by 365 nm lithography using tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH, 2.38%) aqueous and n-hexane as developers, respectively. A positive 50 nm Line/Space (L/S) dense line pattern (dose 110 μC/cm2), a 32 nm L/S negative dense line pattern (dose 40 μC/cm2), and a 19 nm L/3S negative semi-dense line pattern (dose 96 μC/cm2) were achieved by EBL. This study provides a new example of a dual-tone CAR for multi-purpose lithography.
