3 Photolithography is : Introduction Temporarily coat photoresist on wafer and Transfers designed pattern to photoresist Most important process in IC fabrication To consume 40 to 50% total wafer process time Determines the minimum feature size, e.g. 0.18um technology in 2000, 70nm technology in /10/18 3
4 Applications of Photolithography Main application: IC patterning process Other applications: Printed electronic board, nameplate, printer plate, and et al. 2005/10/18 4
5 IC Fabrication Flow e-beam or Photo Mask or EDA PR Chip Reticle Photolithography Ion Implant Etch EDA: Electronic Design Automation PR: Photoresist 2005/10/18 5
6 Photolithography Requirements High Resolution High PR Sensitivity Precision Alignment, say within 10% of minimum feature size Precise Process Parameters Control Low Defect Density 2005/10/18 6
7 Photoresist Photo sensitive material, sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) but to visible light It s why we use yellow light to illuminate and call yellow room Transfer design image on it through exposure and development Very similar to the photo sensitive coating on the film for camera Positive and negative types 2005/10/18 7
8 Photoresist Negative Photoresist Becomes insoluble after exposure When developed, the unexposed parts dissolved. Cheaper with poor resolution Positive Photoresist Becomes soluble after exposure, (photosolubilization) When developed, the exposed parts dissolved Expensive with better resolution 2005/10/18 8
9 Negative and Positive Photoresists Photoresist Mask/reticle Photoresist Negative Photoresist Positive Photoresist Substrate Substrate Substrate Substrate UV light Exposure After Development 2005/10/18 9
10 Photoresist Composition Polymer Solvents Sensitizers Additives 2005/10/18 10
11 Polymer Solid organic material Transfers designed pattern to wafer surface Changes solubility due to photochemical reaction when exposed to UV light. Positive PR: from insoluble to soluble Negative PR: from soluble to insoluble 2005/10/18 11
12 Solvent Dissolves polymers into liquid Allow application of thin PR layers by spinning 75% of PR before spin coating Acetate-type solvent for positive PR; xylene (C 8 H 10 ) for negative PR 2005/10/18 12
13 Sensitizers Controls and/or modifies photochemical reaction of resist during exposure. Determines exposure time and intensity Additives Various added chemical to achieve desired process results, such as dyes to reduce reflection. 2005/10/18 13
14 Negative Resist Most negative PR are polyisoprene type Exposed PR becomes cross-linked polymer Cross-linked polymer has higher chemical etch resistance. Unexposed part will be dissolved in development solution. 2005/10/18 14
15 Negative Photoresist Negative Photoresist Mask Expose Development 2005/10/18 15
16 Negative Photoresist Disadvantages Polymer absorbs the development solvent Poor resolution due to PR swelling Environmental and safety issues due to the main solvents xylene. 2005/10/18 16
17 Comparison of Photoresists PR Film Substrate + PR Film Substrate 2005/10/18 17
18 Positive Photoresist Exposed part dissolve in developer solution Image the same that on the mask Higher resolution Commonly used in advanced IC fabs 2005/10/18 18
19 Question Positive photoresist can achieve much higher resolution than negative photoresist, why didn t people use it before the 1980s? Positive photoresist is much more expensive therefore negative photoresist was used until it had to be replaced when the minimum feature size was shrunk to smaller than 3 m. 2005/10/18 19
20 Chemically Amplified Photoresists To pattern a small feature, a shorter wavelength light source is required For deep ultraviolet (DUV), 248 nm or 193 nm Light source: excimer lasers Light intensity is lower than I-line (365 nm) or G- line (436 nm) from high-pressure mercury lamp Need different kind of photoresist 2005/10/18 20
21 Chemically Amplified Photoresists Catalysis effect is used to increase the effective sensitivity of the photoresist A photo-acid is created in PR when it exposes to DUV light During PEB, head-induced acid diffusion causes amplification in a catalytic reaction Acid removes protection groups Exposed part will be removed by developer 2005/10/18 21
22 Requirement of Photoresist High resolution Thinner PR film has higher the resolution Thinner PR film, the lower the etching and ion implantation resistance High etch resistance Good adhesion Wider process latitude Higher tolerance to process conditions like spin rate, baking temperature and exposure flux 2005/10/18 22
23 Photoresist Physical Properties Photoresist must be able to withstand process conditions Coating, spinning, baking, developing. Etch resistance Ion implantation blocking 2005/10/18 23
24 Photoresist Performance Factors : Resolution Adhesion Expose rate, Sensitivity and Exposure Source Process latitude Pinholes Particle and Contamination Levels Step Coverage Thermal Flow 2005/10/18 24
25 Resolution Capability The smallest opening or space that can produced in a photoresist layer. Related to particular processes including expose source and developing process. Thinner layer has better resolution. Etch and implantation barrier and pinhole-free require thicker layer Positive resist has better resolution due to the smaller size of polymer. 2005/10/18 25

(extremely complicated and precise) 2005/10/18 76
77 Q & A Q : Why does the 5:1 shrink ratio is more popular than the 10:1 shrink ratio? A : 10:1 image shrink has better resolution than 5:1 image shrink. However, it only exposes a quarter of the area, which means total exposure time will be quadrupled. A trade-off between resolution and throughput. 2005/10/18 77

88 PEB (cont.) For DUV chemical amplified photoresist, PEB provides the heat needed for acid diffusion and amplification. After the PEB process, the images of the exposed areas appear on the photoresist, due to the significant chemical change after the acid amplification 2005/10/18 88
89 Post Exposure Bake Steps PEB normally uses hot plate at 110 to 130 C for about 1 minute. For the same kind of PR, PEB usually requires a higher temperature than soft bake.

101 Q & A Why can t optical microscope be used for the 0.25 m feature inspection? Because the feature size (0.25 m = 2500 Å) is smaller than the wavelength of the visible light, which is from 3900 Å (violet) to 7500 Å (red) /10/18 101
