本実施形態の多層反射膜付き基板90について、具体的に説明する。
基板1は、EUV光による露光時の熱による転写パターンの歪みを防止するため、0±5ppb/℃の範囲内の低熱膨張係数を有するものが好ましく用いられる。この範囲の低熱膨張係数を有する素材としては、例えば、SiO2-TiO2系ガラス、多成分系ガラスセラミックス等を用いることができる。
図1に示すように、本実施形態の多層反射膜付き基板90は、多層反射膜2の上に所定の保護膜3を有する。多層反射膜2の上に所定の保護膜3を有することにより、多層反射膜付き基板90を用いて反射型マスク200を製造する際の多層反射膜2の表面へのダメージを抑制することができる。そのため、得られる反射型マスク200のEUV光に対する反射率特性が良好となる。
本実施形態の保護膜3のケイ素含有層32は、多層反射膜2の上に、多層反射膜2に接して配置されることができる。ケイ素含有層32は、少なくともケイ素(Si)を含む。ケイ素含有層32は、ケイ素(Si)のみからなることができる。なお、多層反射膜2の最上層が高屈折率層の場合、最上層の高屈折率層は、保護膜3のケイ素含有層32を兼ねることができる。ケイ素含有層32の成膜の際には、ケイ素(Si)のみを成膜する条件で、成膜することができる。例えば、ケイ素含有層32の成膜は、Siターゲットを用いて、イオンビームスパッタリング法により行うことができる。
本実施形態の保護膜3の第1の層34は、ケイ素含有層32の上に、ケイ素含有層32に接して配置される。第1の層34は、金属、ケイ素(Si)及び/又は窒素(N)を含むことができる。第1の層34は、金属、ケイ素及び窒素を含むことが好ましい。本明細書では、第1の層34の窒素含有量をN1(原子%)とする。第1の層34の窒素含有量N1は、N1≧0原子%である。

N2/(N2+Si2+M2)>N1/(N1+Si1+M1)>N3/(N3+Si3+M3)
の関係を満たすことが好ましい。なお、第1の層34、第2の層36及び第3の層38に含まれる金属は、同じ金属(所定の金属)であることができる。第1の層34、第2の層36及び第3の層38に含まれる金属は、複数の金属を含んでもよく、この場合の金属含有量は、複数の金属の合計含有量である。なお、ここでの金属は、第1の層34、第2の層36及び第3の層38を構成する主成分としての金属であり、金属の合計含有量には添加元素の含有量は含めないものとする。第1の層34、第2の層36及び第3の層38の窒素、金属及びケイ素の含有量が所定の関係であることにより、熱処理の際に、ケイ素含有層32からの第3の層38へのケイ素(Si)が拡散するという現象を、更に効果的に抑制することができる。
M3/(N3+M3)>M1/(N1+M1)>M2/(N2+M2)
の関係を満たすことが好ましい。
M3/(N3+Si3+M3)>M1/(N1+Si1+M1)>M2/(N2+Si2+M2)
の関係を満たすことが好ましい。
本実施形態の多層反射膜付き基板90は、静電チャック用の裏面導電膜5を有することができる。裏面導電膜5は、基板1の第2主表面(裏側主表面)の上(多層反射膜2の形成面の反対側であり、基板1に水素侵入抑制膜等の中間層が形成されている場合には中間層の上)に形成することができる。静電チャック用として、裏面導電膜5に求められるシート抵抗は、通常100Ω/□(Ω/square)以下である。裏面導電膜5の形成方法は、例えば、クロム又はタンタル等の金属、又はそれらの合金のターゲットを使用したマグネトロンスパッタリング法又はイオンビームスパッタリング法である。裏面導電膜5のクロム(Cr)を含む材料は、Crにホウ素、窒素、酸素、及び炭素から選択した少なくとも一つを含有したCr化合物であることが好ましい。Cr化合物としては、例えば、CrN、CrON、CrCN、CrCON、CrBN、CrBON、CrBCN及びCrBOCNなどを挙げることができる。裏面導電膜5のタンタル(Ta)を含む材料としては、Ta(タンタル)、Taを含有する合金、又はこれらのいずれかにホウ素、窒素、酸素、及び炭素の少なくとも一つを含有したTa化合物を用いることが好ましい。Ta化合物としては、例えば、TaB、TaN、TaO、TaON、TaCON、TaBN、TaBO、TaBON、TaBCON、TaHf、TaHfO、TaHfN、TaHfON、TaHfCON、TaSi、TaSiO、TaSiN、TaSiON、及びTaSiCONなどを挙げることができる。裏面導電膜5の膜厚は、静電チャック用としての機能を満足する限り特に限定されないが、通常10nmから200nmである。また、この裏面導電膜5はマスクブランク100の第2主表面側の応力調整も兼ね備えている。すなわち、裏面導電膜5は、第1主表面側に形成された各種膜からの応力とバランスをとって、平坦な反射型マスクブランク100が得られるように調整される。
本実施形態の反射型マスクブランク100について説明する。図2に示すように、本実施形態の反射型マスクブランク100は、上述の多層反射膜付き基板90の保護膜3の上に、吸収体膜4を有する。
本実施形態の反射型マスクブランク100の吸収体膜4は、保護膜3の上に形成される。吸収体膜4の基本的な機能は、EUV光を吸収することである。吸収体膜4は、EUV光の吸収を目的とした吸収体膜4であっても良いし、EUV光の位相差も考慮した位相シフト機能を有する吸収体膜4であっても良い。位相シフト機能を有する吸収体膜4とは、EUV光を吸収するとともに一部を反射させて位相をシフトさせるものである。すなわち、位相シフト機能を有する吸収体膜4がパターニングされた反射型マスク200において、吸収体膜4が形成されている部分では、EUV光を吸収して減光しつつパターン転写に悪影響がないレベルで一部の光を反射させる。また、吸収体膜4が形成されていない領域(フィールド部)では、EUV光は、保護膜3を介して多層反射膜2から反射する。そのため、位相シフト機能を有する吸収体膜4からの反射光と、フィールド部からの反射光との間に所望の位相差を有することになる。位相シフト機能を有する吸収体膜4は、吸収体膜4からの反射光と、多層反射膜2からの反射光との位相差が170度から260度となるように形成される。反転した位相差の光同士がパターンエッジ部で干渉し合うことにより、投影光学像の像コントラストが向上する。その像コントラストの向上に伴って解像度が上がり、露光量裕度、及び焦点裕度等の露光に関する各種裕度を大きくすることができる。
図3に示すように、本実施形態の反射型マスクブランク100は、吸収体膜4の上に、エッチングマスク膜6を有することができる。エッチングマスク膜6の材料としては、エッチングマスク膜6に対する吸収体膜4のエッチング選択比(吸収体膜4のエッチング速度/エッチングマスク膜6のエッチング速度)が高い材料を用いることが好ましい。エッチングマスク膜6に対する吸収体膜4のエッチング選択比は、1.5以上が好ましく、3以上が更に好ましい。
図4(d)に示すように、本実施形態の反射型マスク200は、上述の反射型マスクブランク100の吸収体膜4をパターニングした吸収体パターン4aを備える。
本実施形態の半導体装置の製造方法は、上述の反射型マスク200を用いて、露光装置を使用したリソグラフィプロセスを行い、被転写体に転写パターンを形成する工程を有する。
実施例1~3として、基板1の第1主表面に多層反射膜2及び保護膜3を形成した多層反射膜付き基板90を作製した。表1に、実施例1~3の保護膜3の第1、第2及び第3の層38を成膜するためのターゲット材料及び導入したガスの種類を示す。各実施例の多層反射膜付き基板90は、保護膜3を成膜する際のターゲット材料の種類が異なる以外は、同様にして、作製した。
窒素の含有量の関係:N2>N1≧N3及びN2>N1>N3
窒素の含有比率の関係:N2/(N2+Si2+M2)>N1/(N1+Si1+M1)>N3/(N3+Si3+M3)
金属の含有比率の関係:M3/(N3+Si3+M3)>M1/(N1+Si1+M1)>M2/(N2+Si2+M2)
保護膜3が、ケイ素含有層32及び第3の層38の2層からなることを除き、実施例1と同様に、比較例1~3の多層反射膜付き基板90を製造した。表2に、比較例1~3の第3の層38を成膜する際のターゲット材料及び導入したガスを示す。なお、比較例1~3の第3の層38は、Krガス雰囲気中で、表1に示す材料のターゲットを用いて、DCマグネトロンスパッタリング法により、3.5nmの膜厚で成膜した。すなわち、比較例1~3の第3の層38の成膜の際には、N2ガスを用いなかった。この成膜条件により、表2に示す金属が、深さ方向にほぼ均一の組成である第3の層38を形成できることを確認した。なお、比較例の第3の層38の成膜の際に、N2ガスを用いなかったため、比較例1~3の第3の層38は、実質的に窒素(N)を含まないことを確認した。また、比較例1~3の保護膜3には、第1の層34及び第2の層36に相当するような層は、存在しなかった。以上のようにして、比較例1~3の多層反射膜付き基板90を製造した。
上述のように作製した実施例及び比較例の多層反射膜付き基板90を用いて、多層反射膜付き基板90に対する熱処理による反射率の変化を測定した。
次に、実施例の反射型マスクブランク100について説明する。
裏面導電膜5の形成条件:Crターゲット、ArとN2の混合ガス雰囲気(Ar:90%、N:10%)、膜厚20nm。
次に、実施例1~3の反射型マスクブランク100を用いて、反射型マスク200を製造した。図4を参照して反射型マスク200の製造を説明する。
実施例1~3の反射型マスク200をEUVスキャナにセットし、被転写体である半導体基板60の上に被加工膜とレジスト膜が形成されたウェハに対してEUV露光を行った。そして、この露光済レジスト膜を現像することによって、被加工膜が形成された半導体基板56の上にレジストパターンを形成した。
実施例4及び5として、実施例1と同様に作製した、基板の第1主表面に成膜された多層反射膜2及びケイ素含有層32の上に、第1の層34、第2の層36及び第3の層38を形成した。表4に、実施例4及び5の保護膜3の第1、第2及び第3の層を成膜するためのターゲット材料及び導入したガスの種類を示す。実施例4及び5のターゲット組成比はRu:Rh:Cr=60:30:10である。第1の層34、第2の層36及び第3の層38は、表4に示す材料の焼結ターゲットを用いて、N2ガス及びArガス、又はN2ガス雰囲気中で、DCマグネトロンスパッタリング法(反応性スパッタリング法)により、連続的に形成した。
測定は、走査透過電子顕微鏡(JEOL製JEM-ARM200F)にEDX装置(JEOL製JED-2300T)が連結された分析装置を使用した。測定条件は以下の通りであった。
電子線の加速電圧:200kV
カメラ長:80cm
EDXマッピングの解像度:256×256ピクセル
EDXマッピングの視野範囲:20nm×20nm
窒素の含有量の関係:N2>N3>N1
金属の含有比率の関係:M3/(N3+M3)>M1/(N1+M1)>M2/(N2+M2)
保護膜3が、ケイ素含有層32及び第3の層38の2層からなることを除き、実施例4と同様に、比較例4の多層反射膜付き基板90を製造した。比較例4の第3の層38は、実施例4と同じRuRhCrターゲットを用いて、Arガス雰囲気で、DCマグネトロンスパッタリング法により、3.5nmの膜厚で成膜した。なお、比較例4の第3の層38の成膜の際に、N2ガスを用いなかったため、比較例4の第3の層38は、実質的に窒素(N)を含まないことを確認した。また、比較例4の保護膜3には、第1の層34及び第2の層36に相当するような層は、存在しなかった。以上のようにして、比較例4の多層反射膜付き基板90を製造した。
表4に示すように、実施例4及び5の多層反射膜付き基板90では、200℃、10分間の熱処理の前後において、保護膜3としてRuRhCrを用いた場合の、EUV光に対する反射率の変化の比は0.80以下であった。実施例4及び5の保護膜3は、窒素を含む所定の第1の層34、第2の層36及び第3の層38が配置されているため、ケイ素含有層32から第3の層38へのケイ素の拡散が抑制されたと考えられる。そのため、熱処理の前後において反射率の変化が小さかったものと推察される。
