Abstract
In a general way, non-CARs consist of the matrix resins and photoactive compounds (PACs), and the dissolution properties of the resists are dependent on the amount of PACs. In common, I-line and G-line resists based on novolac and diazonaphthoquinone (DNQ) are typical non-CARs. But most PACs absorb much light in the deep UV, and they are poorly photobleached by deep UV exposure. This strong absorption of PACs prevents the deep UV light from reaching the bottom of the resist film, leading to scum and sloped pattern profiles. Several PACs which contain diazoketo groups have been reported for deep UV lithography. Our goal in this investigation is to find a proper resist that is processable without photoacid generator and induces both photobleaching in the deep UV regions and polarity change upon exposure. We thought diazoketo groups attached to the polymer side chains could give such effects. There is no necessity for the post-exposure bake step that is the cause of acid-diffusion. The diazoketo groups undergo the Wolff rearrangement upon irradiation in the deep UV, affording ketenes that react with water to provide base soluble photoproducts. The polymers were synthesized by radical copolymerization of 2-(2-diazo-3-oxo-butyryloxy)-ethyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, and γ-butyrolacton-2-yl methacrylate. The single component resist showed 0.7μm line and space patterns using a mercury-xenon lamp in a contact printing mode.
