摘要

In an attempt to push the capabilities of 248nm patterning tool down to sub 130 nm structures, the resist reflow method was used to shrink trench structures. In this method patterned resist structures were encapsulated in a new material supplied by Clariant USA using a coat process. Resist reflow was subsequently reflowed using bake process to shrink the critical dimension (CD) of the patterned structures. Different pitches that varied from a dense (11) to semi-isolated (1:5) and fully isolated were studied in this process. The effect of time and temperature of the bake process on CD shrink was investigated. It was observed that the amount of shrink was dependent on both the temperature and time. Increasing either of the two resulted in a smaller CD. A shrink of 20 to 75 nm was achieved based on the time and temperature of processing. However, at very high temperatures (>170℃), the pattern fidelity was lost. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) cross sections taken for semi isolated and isolated trenches showed acceptable profiles. Lastly, the process was successfully applied to a dual damascene structure pattening. Although this process is not applicable for generating small features with dense (1:1) pitch, but this method shows promise for generating small geometries with larger pitch.
