In this work, we introduce the novel resist of ZR13D for high-NA’s generation and report their patterning performance in both ADI and AEI which was compared to the reference resist of ZER02#04DM. Zeon resists have some challenges that LCDU and dose to size are still high and resolution and defectivity should be improved as well. The concreate approaches in order to improve the challenges are that to make scission reaction efficient and to get developability more at exposed area higher in changing both monomers and functional groups. By both effects, Zeon aims to make clear threshold between exposed and un-exposed area and improve low contrast and sensitivity at tight patterns especially. Zeon has developed a new resist (ZR13D, R&D sample) in order to improve their challenges. ZR13D enabled to improve the contrast by EUV when compared to ZER02#04DM significantly. The litho-performance was able to be enhanced on both sensitivity and LCDU by breaking though RLS trade-off. And ZR13D could transfer patterns well in etching process, and then, holes with Zeon resists in AEI enabled to go through until the bottom of SiN substrate without residues. Additionally, ZR13D has maintained the stability of process delay from EUV expose to development process for stitching. It was clarified that ZR13D has the sufficient potential to be utilized at high-NA generation.
In this work, we introduce main chain scission resists with new concept for High-NA’s generation and report their lithography performance. Zeon has developed a new resist (ZR12A, R&D sample) in order to improve both resolution and lithography performance because conventional Zeon resists generated worse resolution and kissing(C/H), pinching(L/S) defects at tight pitch by top loss. The concreate approaches in order to improve the challenges are that to make scission reaction efficient and to get developability at exposed area higher in changing both monomers and functional groups. Zeon aims to make clear threshold between exposed and un-exposed area and improve low contrast and sensitivity at tight patterns especially. The lithography performance of ZR12A with their approaches were able to improve LCDU and margin with low LCDU on litho-performance compared to ZER02#04DM. Additionally, ZR12A has good etching resistance and can improve LCDU in AEI as well at this paper.
We developed novel resist materials and developer with fluorine atoms. Fluorine expected to show higher absorption coefficient than carbon because of its higher atomic number. From QCM, GPC, and SEM evaluation, it was found that ZEP-Y1 and ZEP-Y2 have a potential for next generation resist materials. The combination of resist material including fluorine atoms and fluorine solution is promising. This study showed the possibility of the extension of range for resist materials and developers.
