2 Contents Current Status of EUV Resists 1. Origin, meaning and solution of RLS trade-off problem nm half-pitch target Future Prospect of EUV Resists Pattern formation mechanism and simulation of EUV resists Maximization of the chemical gradient at the image boundary Four topics 1. Difference between EUV and EB Resists 2. Shot noise of chemically amplified resists 3. Difference between Molecular and Polymer Resists 4. New types of resists
3 Current Status of EUV Resists (1) The Origin of RLS Problem CARs with High Concentration of Quenchers From the early stage of the industrial use of chemically amplified resists, amines have been contained in CARs for measures against socalled post-exposure delay effects due to surface contamination from airborne amines. Recently very high concentrations of amines are required for getting high resolution CARs. High concentration of amines improves resolution and LER, but sensitivity decreases and trade-off among resolution, line edge roughness and sensitivity ( so-called RLS tradeoff) was induced.
4 Current Status of EUV Resists (2) RLS Trade-off Problem and Solution Trade-off relation among resolution, LER and Sensitivity (RLS Trade-off) was observed experimentally and simulated later under some asumption. Experiments: Brainard et al., Proc. SPIE (2004), Pawloski et al., Proc. SPIE (2004), Wallow et al., Proc. SPIE (2008) and more. Simulations(EUV reaction mechanisms were neglected): G.M. Gallatin, Proc. SPIE (2005), D. Van Steenwinckel et al., Proc. SPIE (2007), R.L. Bristol, Proc. SPIE (2007) Is the relation specific? No or Yes No fundamental differences exist among ArF, EB and EUV resists once latent acid image formation.but acid formation process doesn t obey the relation. Acid formation mechanisms are essential in solving the trade-off problem. Tagawa, 1st European Workshop on Resist Limitations, Erlangen, 14 December, (2004), Kozawa et al., J. Vac. Sci. Technol.

Express 2(2009) LER Sensitivity Resolution Recent research on mechanisms of EUV CARs clearly shows how to solve RLS trade-off in EUV resists.
5 Current Status of EUV Resists (3) New Targets after RLS Trade-off Problem Resolution and sensitivity are getting close to the requirements. LER is still far from the requirement. The reduction of LER is the most serious problem in EUV resist development. Sensitivity is still very important problem, because the sensitivity of resists and the intensity of exposure dose are complementary. Higher sensitivity resist makes possible to use smaller light source and to decrease in operation costs.

7 Future Prospect of EUV Resists Pattern formation mechanism and simulation of EUV resists The increase in pattern formation efficiency (chemical gradient) at the image boundary Four topics 1. Difference between EUV and EB Resists 2. Shot noise of chemically amplified resists 3. Difference between Molecular and Polymer Resists 4. New types of resists
8 Pattern Formation Mechanisms of EUV Resists (1) Exposure (Tool) Resist pattern formation processes Interaction of radiation (photon, electron etc.) with materials Acid generation Accumulated energy profile Latent acid image Processes depend on exposure tool Acid diffusion,deprotection reaction Acid catalyzed image (Latent image after PEB) Development Other Treatments: Rinse, Vapor smoothing, Hardbake, Ectch, Ozonation, etc. The improvement at each stage is required cloth to its physical and chemical limit. The integration of improvement at each stage without interference is strongly needed for steady progress in the development of next generation EUV resists. Pattern Formation Mechanisms are important and essential in escaping interference.

13 Pattern Formation Mechanisms of EUV Resists (8) Simulation Based on Resist Pattern Formation Mechanisms of EB/EUV Chemically Amplified Resists The LERs of a positive-tone CAR for EB/EUV lithographies after development were investigated by Monte Carlo simulation and a dissolution model based on a 1 nm mesh. LER(high frequency) of less than 1.2 nm is achievable by fine-tuning exposure dose, acid diffusion length (PEB time), and process conditions (development time, amine concentration, and activation energy) even though the proton and counter anion, which are attracted by each other (geminate pairs) and form an acid, are initially separated by 5.6 nm on average. The trade-off RLS relationship is successfully reproduced under the optimized condition of PEB and development time. LER is proportional to the inverse of square root of exposure dose at moderate acid diffusion length. Note that this is an ideal condition (1 nm mesh: excluding polymer effect, cluster, swelling in development etc.) in PHS base resists (not the best resist ). The improvement at each pattern formation stage is required cloth to its physical and chemical limit. The integration of improvement at each stage without interference is strongly needed for steady progress in the development of next generation EUV resists.

Pattern formation efficiency = Absorption efficiency of incident energy (mainly absorption coefficient of polymer) Quantum yield of acid Efficiency of catalytic chain reaction X X Limited by side wall degradation Limited by secondary electron emission efficiency Limited by diffusion-controlled rate for chemical reaction Other factors:development and many other treatments etc..

17 Sensitivity and Shot Noise of CAR and non-car 5 mj/nm 2 is about 3 EUV photons/(1 nm) 2. It is very difficult to overcome shot noise problem in non-car. In CAR, the recombination reaction of acids and quenchers occurs in image boundary. LER is determined at image boundary. Acid diffusion decreases shot noise in CAR. 1 nm Initial acid distribution (high E a resist) Concentration (nm -3 ) Aerial image of EUV Acid distribution after neutralization Initial acid distribution Quencher distribution after neutralization No flare nm Resolution blur Distance (nm) The aerial image of incident EUV (arb. unit) and the initial acid distribution (molecule nm -3 )..

20 Conclusion 1. The development of EUV resists has steadily progressed based on understanding of the patterning mechanisms of EUV CARs. Many methods for improvement of resist performance such as the increase in the PAG concentration, energy absorption, acid yield are investigated at each stages of resist patterning. 2. The sensitivity and resolution is getting close to the requirements. However, LER is still away from the target. The simulation based on reaction mechanisms of EUV CARs shows how to get 1.2 nm LER in ideal conditions (1 nm mesh). LER contains factors independent of RLS trade-off relation such as molecular interactions (clustering) and swelling in development processes. The difference between molecular and polymer resists becomes essential to LER reduction, after LER decreases the level of molecular size. 3. New ideas of EUV CAR like polymer-bound PAGs and resists with anisotropic acid diffusion enhance the resist performances. 4. Many other factors for small patterning must be investigated such as resist pattern collapse, the decrease in broading of the patterned feature size due to acid diffusion, reconsideration of limitation factors such as mobilities of counter anions and quenchers, side and competing reactions such as crosslinking of polymer radicals and trapping sites of hole, proton and electrons. 5. The improvement at each pattern formation stage is required cloth to its physical and chemical limit. The integration of improvement at each stage without interference is strongly needed for steady progress in the development of next generation EUV resists.
