Abstract
The compatibility of novel organic bottom anti-reflective coatings (BARC), HEART003 and HEART004 developed by Hyundai Electronics, with various chemically amplified resists (CAR) was reported. The incompatibility between organic BARC and CARs is caused by the differences of residual activity on the surface of organic BARC after baking process and the types of dissolution inhibitors in the polymer of CAR and photo acid generators (PAG) used in their formulation. In KrF lithography, the HEART003 was much compatible with acetal type resist than annealing type resist because it's neutral acidity on the surface of BARC. The incompatibility with annealing type resist was caused by weak residual acidity on the surface of BARC, relatively. Thus we tried to adjust the feasible residual acidity on the surface of BARC and optimum thermal baking condition. The modified HEART003 has excellent compatibility not only with acetal type resist, but also with annealing type resist in the same platform. In ArF lithography, the HEART004 has also good compatibility with cycloolefin type and (meth)acrylate type ArF resist by modification of its formulation.
