- EUV light is easily absorbed by all materials, and the refractive index of materials is close to 1 at this wavelength. Therefore, a refractive optical system such as the conventional photolithography method using visible light or ultraviolet light cannot be used. For this reason, EUV lithography uses reflective optics, ie, reflective masks and mirrors.

「金属元素Xを主成分として含む」とは、「吸収膜中の金属元素Xの含有量が50原子%以上である」ことを意味する。但し、金属元素Xは1種の場合のみならず、複数種である場合をも含む。ここで、金属元素Xが複数種である場合には、「金属元素Xを主成分として含む」とは、「吸収膜中の金属元素Xの各含有量の合計が50原子%以上である」ことを意味する。例えば、吸収膜の成分がルテニウム(Ru)40原子%、イリジウム(Ir)40原子%、タンタル(Ta)20原子%である場合も、金属元素Xであるルテニウム(Ru)及びイリジウム(Ir)の各含有量(40原子%、40原子%)の合計が80原子%であるので、「金属元素Xを主成分として含む」に該当する。
基板上、層上及び膜上(以下、膜等上と略称する。)とは、膜等の上面に接する場合のみならず、膜等の上面に接していない上方も含む意味である。例えば、「膜A上の膜B」とは、膜Aと膜Bとが接していてもよく、膜Aと膜Bとの間に他の膜等が介在していてもよい。また、ここで言う「上」とは、必ずしも鉛直方向における高い位置を意味する場合に限られず、相対的な位置関係を示すものである。
屈折率は、各膜の屈折率に基づいて、厚さを加味して加重平均した値とする。
「スパッタエッチング」とは、放電プラズマ等によりエッチングガスから生じたイオンや中性粒子等を加速して被エッチング材料に衝突させて、被エッチング材料の粒子を弾き飛ばすこと(スパッタリング)による物理的エッチングであり、化学反応を主としないものを言うものとする。これに対して、「ケミカルドライエッチング」とは、主に、エッチングガスが被エッチング材料表面で化学反応を起こして、被エッチング材料との反応生成物を生じることによる化学的エッチングであり、イオン等によるスパッタアシスト作用を伴うこともあるが、化学反応により揮発して脱離しやすい反応生成物を生じさせる点で、物理的エッチングとは区別されるものとする。反応生成物は、沸点を目安として、例えば、沸点が400℃以下であれば、揮発して脱離しやすいと言える。なお、沸点は、常圧(1気圧)での値である。
成膜した膜等の厚さは、X線反射率法により測定される値である。
以下、本発明の実施形態について、図面を参照して説明する。
図1は、本発明のEUVリソグラフィ用反射型マスクブランクの一実施形態を示す概略断面図である。
図1に示すEUVリソグラフィ用反射型マスクブランク1aは、基板11上に、EUV光を反射する多層反射膜12と、マスクパターンを形成する際のエッチングから多層反射膜12を保護するための保護膜13(キャップ層とも呼ばれる。)と、EUV光を吸収する吸収膜14とが、この順に基板1側から積層されている。但し、本発明の一実施形態のEUVリソグラフィ用反射型マスクブランクにおいて、図1に示す構成中、基板11、多層反射膜12、及び吸収膜14のみが必須の構成要素であり、保護膜13は任意の構成要素である。
また、本発明のEUVリソグラフィ用反射型マスクブランクは、マスク加工後のパターン欠陥検査を容易にするための反射防止膜(図示せず)が、吸収膜14上に形成されていてもよい。
また、本発明のEUVリソグラフィ用反射型マスクブランクは、ドライエッチングや欠陥修正時に多層反射膜12を保護するための、バッファー層(図示せず)が、保護膜13と吸収膜14との間に形成されていてもよい。
さらに、本発明のEUVリソグラフィ用反射型マスクブランクは、図2のEUVリソグラフィ用反射型マスクブランク1bのように、基板11上に、EUV光を反射する多層反射膜12と、マスクパターンを形成する際のエッチングから多層反射膜12を保護するための保護膜13と、EUV光を吸収する吸収膜14と、吸収膜14のエッチング条件に対して耐性を有する材料で構成されたエッチングマスク膜15とが、この順に形成されていてもよい。
基板11は、EUV露光時の熱による転写パターンの歪み防止の観点から、20℃における熱膨張係数が低いことが好ましく、好ましくは0±0.050×10-7/℃、より好ましくは0±0.030×10-7/℃、さらに好ましくは0±0.025×10-7/℃である。また、基板11は、EUVリソグラフィ用反射型マスクの製造プロセスで使用される洗浄液への耐性(耐薬品性)に優れていることが好ましい。
基板11の材料としては、例えば、SiO2-TiO2系ガラス、多成分系ガラスセラミックス等が好適に挙げられる。また、基板11の材料として、β-石英固溶体が析出した結晶化ガラス、石英ガラス、シリコン、金属等を使用することもできる。
基板11は、パターン転写を高反射率且つ高精度で行えるようにする観点から、平坦度(TIR;Total Indicated Reading)としては、好ましくは100nm以下、より好ましくは50nm以下、さらに好ましくは30nm以下である。
なお、基板11の二乗平均平方根粗さRqは、実施例に示す方法で測定できる。
多層反射膜12は、EUV光の反射率を高くする観点から、屈折率の異なる元素を主成分とする複数の層を周期的に積層させた構成であることが好ましい。多層反射膜12を構成する各膜の厚さ及び積層の繰り返し周期は、膜材料及びEUV光の所望の反射率等に応じて適宜設定される。一般に、多層反射膜12は、高屈折率層1層と低屈折率層1層との組を1周期とし、30~60周期程度積層された構造を有する。
高屈折率層/低屈折率層としては、Mo/Si多層反射膜が一般的であるが、これに限定されるものではなく、例えば、Ru/Si多層反射膜、Mo/Be多層反射膜、Mo化合物/Si化合物多層反射膜、Si/Mo/Ru多層反射膜、Si/Mo/Ru/Mo多層反射膜、Si/Ru/Mo多層反射膜、Si/Ru/Mo/Ru多層反射膜等が挙げられる。
例えば、イオンビームスパッタ法で、Mo/Si多層反射膜を形成する場合、アルゴン(Ar)ガス(ガス圧1.3×10-2~2.7×10-2Pa)をスパッタガスとして、イオン加速電圧300~1500V、成膜速度0.030~0.300nm/secで、まず、Siターゲットを用いて、厚さ4.5nmになるようにSi膜を成膜し、次に、Moターゲットを用いて、厚さ2.3nmになるようにMo膜を成膜する。これを1周期として、Mo膜/Si膜を30~60周期繰り返して積層させることにより、Mo/Si多層反射膜を形成できる。
多層反射膜12の最上面には、保護膜13が形成されていてもよい。保護膜13は、エッチングプロセス、通常はドライエッチングプロセスにより後述する吸収膜14にパターン形成する際に、多層反射膜12がエッチングプロセスによりダメージを受けないよう、多層反射膜12の保護を目的として設けられる。したがって保護膜の材質としては、吸収膜14のエッチングプロセスによる影響を受けにくい、つまりこのエッチング速度が吸収膜14よりも遅く、しかもこのエッチングプロセスによるダメージを受けにくい物質を選択することが好ましい。
また、保護膜13は、EUV露光時に多層反射膜12が酸化して、EUV光の反射率が低下することを防止する目的でも設けられる。
吸収膜14としては、例えば、入射したEUV光を十分吸収するバイナリー膜、入射したEUV光の一部を所望の位相にシフトさせて反射する位相シフト膜、などが挙げられる。これらの中でも、転写パターンのコントラストを向上させる観点で、入射したEUV光の一部を所望の位相にシフトさせて反射する位相シフト膜が好ましい。
ここで、第1の結晶構造が、面心立方格子(fcc)構造及び六方最密充填(hcp)構造の一方であり、第2の結晶構造が面心立方格子(fcc)構造及び六方最密充填(hcp)構造の他方であることが好ましい。
吸収膜14の結晶構造が、金属元素Xのバルク状態で、常圧(1気圧)、25℃において安定な結晶構造としての第1の結晶構造と、該第1の結晶構造と異なる第2の結晶構造とを有することで、バルク結晶で安定な第1の結晶構造とバルク結晶で安定でない準安定の第2の結晶構造とが混在することとなる。
なお、第2の結晶構造のピーク面積比は、線源としてCuKα線を用いたX線回折(XRD)法におけるピーク分離法により、30°≦2θ≦55°の範囲にピークトップを有するXRDピークを第1の結晶構造と第2の結晶構造とにピーク分離した際に算出されるものであり、第2の結晶構造のピーク面積を、第1の結晶構造のピーク面積と第2の結晶構造のピーク面積との合計で除することにより得られる。なお、上記ピーク分離法に基づくピーク分離は、具体的には、後述する実施例に示す方法により行われる。
なお、金属元素Xの種類及び含有量、後述する元素Zの種類及び含有量、吸収膜の形成方法(形成方法の種類、雰囲気の種類、ターゲット面積当たりの投入電力密度、など)を適宜選択することにより、第2の結晶構造のピーク面積比を9%以上に制御乃至調整できる。
元素Zとしては、特に制限はないが、結晶子サイズ低下の観点で、H、B、C、N、O、Cr、Nb、Mo、Hf、Ta、Wが好ましく、H、B、C、N、O、Cr、Hf、Ta、Wがより好ましく、H、B、C、N、O、Cr、Ta、Wがさらに好ましく、B、C、N、O、Cr、Ta、Wが特に好ましい。これらは、1種単独(単元素)で用いてもよく、2種以上を用いてもよい。
ガス圧力:5×10-2~1.0Pa、好ましくは1×10-1~8×10-1Pa、より好ましくは2×10-1~4×10-1Pa。
ターゲット面積当たりの投入電力密度:1.0~15.0W/cm2、好ましくは3.0~12.0W/cm2、より好ましくは4.0~10.0W/cm2。
成膜速度:0.010~1.000nm/sec、好ましくは0.015~0.500nm/sec、より好ましくは0.050~0.400nm/sec。
本発明の一実施形態のEUVリソグラフィ用反射型マスクブランク1aは、吸収膜14表面の二乗平均平方根粗さRqが、好ましくは0.50nm以下、より好ましくは0.45nm以下、さらに好ましくは0.40nm以下である。
吸収膜14上には、検査工程で波長190~260nmのDUV光(深紫外光)を使用する場合、反射を防止する反射防止膜(図示せず)が積層されていることが好ましい。
EUVリソグラフィ用反射型マスクは、吸収膜14に形成されたマスクパターンに欠陥がないか検査される。このマスク検査は、主に検査光の反射光の光学データに基づいて、欠陥の有無等が判断されることから、マスクを透過する光は検査光として使用できず、DUV光が用いられる。このため、正確な検査のために、吸収膜14上には、検査光であるDUV光の反射を防止する反射防止膜を設けておくことが好ましい。
バッファー層の構成材料は、特に限定されるものではないが、例えば、SiO2、Cr、Ta等を主成分とした材料等が挙げられる。
一般的に、吸収膜のエッチング条件に対して耐性を有する材料の層(エッチングマスク膜)を吸収膜上に設けることでレジスト膜を薄膜化できることが知られている。すなわち、エッチングマスク膜を形成して、吸収膜のエッチング条件における、吸収膜のエッチング速度を1とした場合の、エッチングマスク膜のエッチング速度の相対速度(エッチング選択比)を低くすることで、レジスト膜を薄膜化できる。
そのため、エッチングマスク膜15は、O2、又はO2とハロゲン系ガス(塩素系ガス、フッ素系ガス)との混合ガスをエッチングガスとするドライエッチングに対し、高いエッチング耐性を有することが求められる。
Nb系材料、Mo系材料からなるエッチングマスク膜15は、塩素系ガスをエッチングガスとするドライエッチングにより、エッチング可能である。
Si系材料からなるエッチングマスク膜15は、フッ素系ガスをエッチングガスとするドライエッチングにより、エッチング可能である。なお、Si系材料をエッチングマスク膜15として用いる場合は、洗浄液としてフッ酸を用いた除去が好ましい。
ガス圧:5.0×10-2~1.0Pa、好ましくは1.0×10-1~8.0×10-1Pa、より好ましくは2.0×10-1~4.0×10-1Pa
ターゲット面積当たりの投入電力密度:1.0~15.0W/cm2、好ましくは3.0~12.0W/cm2、より好ましくは4.0~10.0W/cm2
成膜速度:0.010~1.0nm/sec、好ましくは0.015~0.50nm/sec、より好ましくは0.020~0.30nm/sec
ターゲットと基板間距離:50~500mm、好ましくは100~400mm、より好ましくは150~300mm
本実施形態のEUVリソグラフィ用反射型マスクブランク1a,1bは、上述した各膜及び層以外に、EUVリソグラフィ用反射型マスクブランクにおいて公知の機能膜を設けてもよい。
例えば、EUVリソグラフィ用反射型マスクブランク10を静電チャックの載置部等に吸着固定させるために、基板11の多層反射膜12とは反対側の面(裏面)に、裏面導電膜が形成されていてもよい。
裏面導電膜は、シート抵抗が100Ω/□以下であることが好ましく、公知の構成を適用できる。裏面導電膜の構成材料としては、例えば、Si、TiN、Mo、Cr、TaSi等が挙げられる。裏面導電膜の厚さは、例えば、10~1000nmとできる。
裏面導電膜は、例えば、マグネトロンスパッタ法、イオンビームスパッタ法、化学気相成長法(CVD法)、真空蒸着法、電気メッキ法等の公知の成膜方法を用いて、所望の厚さで成膜することにより形成できる。
本発明の一実施形態のEUVリソグラフィ用反射型マスクブランクの製造方法は、基板上にEUV光を反射する多層反射膜を形成し、形成された多層反射膜上にEUV光を吸収する吸収膜を形成するEUVリソグラフィ用反射型マスクブランクの製造方法であって、吸収膜は、金属元素Xを主成分として含み、吸収膜の結晶構造が、前記金属元素Xのバルク状態で、常圧(1気圧)、25℃において安定な結晶構造としての第1の結晶構造と、該第1の結晶構造と異なる第2の結晶構造とを有し、第2の結晶構造のピーク面積比が9%以上である。
なお、多層反射膜の形成方法及び吸収膜の形成方法は、上述した通りである。
図3は、本発明のEUVリソグラフィ用反射型マスクの一実施形態を示す概略断面図である。
本発明の一実施形態のEUVリソグラフィ用反射型マスクの製造方法では、本発明の一実施形態のEUVリソグラフィ用反射型マスクブランクの製造方法によって製造されたEUVリソグラフィ用反射型マスクブランク1bの吸収膜14をパターニングしてパターン(吸収膜パターン)140を形成する。
本発明のEUVリソグラフィ用反射型マスクの製造方法では、リソグラフィを適用することができ、エッチングプロセスでは、上述した図3~図7に示すようなエッチングプロセスを経ることが好ましい。すなわち、EUVリソグラフィ用反射型マスクブランク1a,1bへのマスクパターンの形成は、EUVリソグラフィ用反射型マスクブランク1a,1bの吸収膜14にスパッタエッチング処理を施した後、ケミカルドライエッチング処理を施すことが好ましい。
本実施形態のEUVリソグラフィ用反射型マスクブランクを用いて、このようなエッチングプロセスを適用してEUVリソグラフィ用反射型マスクを製造することにより、EUVリソグラフィ用反射型マスクブランクへのマスクパターンの形成を効率的に精度よく行うことができる。
例1~例12のうち、例1~例8が実施例であり、例9~例12が比較例である。
(EUVリソグラフィ用反射型マスクブランクの作製)
基板と、多層反射膜と、保護膜と、吸収膜とをこの順番で含むEUVリソグラフィ用反射型マスクブランクを作製した。
なお、基板の二乗平均平方根粗さRqは原子間力顕微鏡(Atomic Force Microscope)を用いてJISB0601:2013に準じて測定した。
Ruターゲット、Cターゲット、Taターゲット、Cr3C2ターゲットを用い、反応性スパッタにより表1の吸収膜組成になるように、Ar、O2、N2ガス流量と各ターゲットへの投入電力を調整して、下記条件(1)~(6)で吸収膜を成膜した。各ターゲットはいずれもDC電源を用いた。
(1)投入電力:100~800W
(2)ガス圧力:0.3Pa
(3)O2ガス体積比(O2/(Ar+O2+N2)):0~30vol%
(4)N2ガス体積比(N2/(Ar+O2+N2)):0~50vol%
(5)成膜速度:0.050~0.400nm/sec
(6)膜厚:35nm
Irターゲット、Taターゲット、Ta60B40ターゲット、Bターゲットを用いた反応性スパッタリングを行った。Irターゲット、Taターゲット、Ta60B40ターゲットのスパッタリングにはDC電源を用い、BターゲットのスパッタリングにはRF電源を用いた。その他の条件はRu系吸収膜と同様にIr系吸収膜を成膜した。
吸収膜の結晶性は、リガク社製X線回折分析装置(MiniFlexII)を用いて測定した。2θが30°~55°の範囲において最も強度の高いピークの半値全幅に対し、シェラーの式(Scherrer’s equation)を用いて、結晶子サイズを算出した。測定された結晶子サイズを表1に示す。
吸収膜の各結晶相(第1の結晶構造、第2の結晶構造)のピーク面積を用いて、各結晶相の存在比率を評価した。ピーク分離した際に算出された第2の結晶構造のピーク面積比(%)を表1に示す。なお、ピーク分離法に基づくピーク分離にはBruker社製解析ソフトウェア「Diffrac.TOPAS」を用いた。プロファイル関数は装置パラメータを用いてFP法によって決定した。バックグラウンドは2次多項式を用い、2θ=30~75°の範囲でバックグラウンド関数を作成した。Bruker社製X線回折分析装置(D8DISCOVER)を用いたIn-Plane XRD測定から得られた回折パターンのうち、30~55°の範囲について、fcc構造2本((111)面及び(200)面)、並びに、hcp構造3本((100)面、(002)面及び(101)面)のピークを用いてピーク分離を行った。ピーク分離においては各結晶相の結晶子サイズが1.0nmを下回らないように束縛条件を設定した。
ピーク分離に用いる吸収膜の各結晶相のXRDピーク位置は、後述するTEM像の解析から得られた格子定数に基づいて算出した。
TEM像の測定には、吸収膜表面側と基板側の両方から収束イオンビーム法を用いて厚みが50nm程度になるまで研磨した例1の試料薄片を用いた。試料薄片を日本電子社製のNEOARMを用いてTEM観察し、試料の結晶格子像(TEM像)(図8)及び電子回折図形(図9)を取得した。図9には、結晶構造のモデルとして、Ruのhcp結晶構造(ICSD No.76155)及びRuのfcc結晶構造(ICSD No.235808)を用いた電子回折図形のシミュレーション結果を併せて示した。
図8の明暗部がそれぞれ一つの結晶粒に相当すると考えられ、図8中の矢印で示した代表的な結晶粒の大きさは6nmであり、表1に示したシェラーの式から求めた結晶子サイズと概ね一致した。
得られた結晶格子像(TEM像)(図8)や電子回折図形(図9)を、Gatan社製解析ソフト「Digital MicroGraph」を用いて解析することで試料の結晶構造(第1の結晶構造、第2の結晶構造)の存在及び格子定数を導出した。
なお、図8における丸1,丸2,丸3、丸4は、それぞれ、図9の丸1,丸2,丸3、丸4に対応する。丸1及び丸2はRuのhcp結晶構造(第1の結晶構造)が多い部分を示し、丸3及び丸4はRuのfcc結晶構造(第2の結晶構造)が多い部分を示す。
これに対して、例9~12では、第2の結晶構造のピーク面積比が0~8%であるので、吸収膜の結晶子サイズを小さくすることができず、もって吸収膜のパターン形成後のLERが良好な反射型マスクを作製することができなかった。
