5 Photo Lithography 5
6 Photo Lithography Photolithography is the patterning process that transfers the designed patterns from the mask to the resist on the wafer surface. It is the core of the manufacturing process flow Process Sequence: photoresist coating, alignment and exposure, photoresist developing Requirements High resolution High sensitive Precise alignment Low defect density High yield and good imaging 6
7 Photolithography Process Light Source Mask Positive Resist Photoresist Substrate Resist Coating Alignment & Exposure Developing 7
8 Positive and Negative Resist Processes Photoresist Mask/reticle Photoresist Positive Photoresist Substrate Substrate After Development UV light Exposure Positive PR: from insoluble to soluble Negative PR: from soluble to insoluble Negative Photoresist Substrate Substrate Dr. Ko, Institute of Nanotechnology, NCTU 8
9 Photoresist Photoresists are the photosensitive material coated temporarily on the wafer surface and used to transfer the image of designed circuit on the mask to the wafer surface The photosensitive chemical reaction (break bonds) mainly sensitive to the UV light and not sensitive to the visible light. Since resist is not sensitive to yellow light, all the fabs use yellow to illuminate lithography areas Ingredients: polymer, solvent, sensitizer, additives 9
10 Photoresist Material Parameter Primary two functions of resist Precise pattern formation Protection of the substrate during etch Parameters can be categorized as follows: Optical properties: resolution, photosensitivity, and index of refraction Mechanical/chemical properties: solid content, viscosity, adhesion, etch resistance, thermal stability, and sensitivity to ambient Processing and safety related properties: particle count, metals content, process latitude, shelf life, flash point, and threshold limit value 10
11 Ingredients in I-line Resist Polymer: Novolak (Etch mask) Photoactive compound (PAC, or called sensitizer): diazonaphthoquinone (DNQ) (Control photochemical reaction during exposure) Additive: phenolic materials (Modify photochemical reaction during exposure) Solvent: PGMEA, EL (Liquid suspension) O H O H O Source:Prof. Ko in NCTU H3C CH2 C O CH3 C CH3 H3C C OH C O C2H5 11
12 Chemical Reaction in I-line Resist 12
13 Photo-Resist Positive PR Becomes soluble after exposure When developed, the exposed parts dissolved Better resolution Negative PR Exposed PR becomes crosslinked polymer Cross-linked polymer has higher chemical etch resistance. Becomes insoluble after exposure When developed, the unexposed parts dissolved. Cheaper material Swelling lead to poor resolution Contrast ratio : γ ln E T E
14 Positive and Negative Resists Azide/isoprene negative resist Swells during develop Marginal step coverage Organic solvent developer Toxic strippers Sensitive to ambient oxygen Novolak resin resist No swelling during develop Good step coverage Aqueous developer Environmentally benign resist stripper Operate well in air 14
15 Wafer Exposure System Light Source 1:1 Exposure Systems Usually 4X or 5X Reduction Optical System Mask Photoresist Si Wafer Gap Contact Printing Proximity Printing Projection Printing 15
16 Projection Printing Project an image of the mask pattern onto a resist coated wafer several centimeters away from the mask. 1:1 projection optical system is easier to design. M:1 projection mask is easier to fabricate (5:1 most common or 10:1). Projection method Scan Step-and-repeat Step-and-scan Synchronized mask and wafer movement Light Source Light Source Scan Wafer Step and repeat Projection Lens Reticle Projection Lens Slit Lens Mask Lens Photoresist Wafer Wafer Stage 16
17 Diffraction Light in free space Light through a small aperture 17
18 Fresnel Diffraction g W Incident Plane Wave Mask Aperture Resist Wafer Light Intensity at Resist Surface Fresnel diffraction (near-field diffraction) applies when λ<g < W2 λ Within this range, the minimum resolvable feature size is Wmin λg Thus if g = 10 µm and an i-line (365nm) light source is used, W min?? 18
19 Shadowing Printing Contact printing Resolution ~ 1um Dust on mask will damage PR pattern. Mask pattern may be contaminated. Proximity printing A small gap of um. Longer mask lifetime. Poorer resolution. R = λ gap 19
20 Fraunhofer Diffraction R Fraunhofer diffraction (far-field diffraction) is dominate in the projection system. According to the Rayleigh Criterion: 1.22λ f 1.22λf 0.61 λ R = = = d n(2 f sin α) n sinα 20
21 Fraunhofer Diffraction Light Source Condenser Lens Mask Objective or Projection Lens Photoresist on Wafer α x y Aperture z x 1 y 1 Plane x'y' Plane x y Plane 21
22 R = K NA λ 1 Resolution λ: wavelength, K 1 : system constant=0.61 (ideal) NA = n sinα= d/2f NA (numerical aperture): the capability of the lens to collect the diffraction light. NA is proportional to the lens diameter (camera with large lens) and reversely proportional to the distance between the wafer and the lens. Strayed refracted light D Mask Lens Diffracted light collected by the lens r o Less diffraction after focused by the lens Ideal light Intensity pattern 22
23 Resolution Comparison 23
24 Depth of Focus DOF = K λ 2 ( NA) 2 NA : numerical aperture, λ : wavelength, K 2 : system constant =0.5 (ideal) Ex: Point and shot cameras use small lens without focus but the resolution won t be great! Lens Very flat wafer surface is needed -> CMP DOF Center of focus Depth of focus Photoresist Substrate 24
25 Exposure Wavelength High pressure Hg or Hg/Se lamp Intensity (a.u) Deep UV (<260) I-line (365) H-line (405) G-line (436) Lamp intensity is too low at λ < 260 nm Rayleigh Equation R=k 1 λ/na Wavelength (nm) 25
