Photolithography OverviewHMDS Hexamethyldisilazane

Prime: Replaces surface adsorbed H2O and gives off Ammonia. This material produces a bond with the wafer surface creating a polar surface ( electrostatic).

•No surface wetting by Photoresist occurs on an un-treated SiO2 surface with these bonded hydroxyl groups. Basically the Photoresist is hydrophobic and will not adhere to a hydrophilic surface. The HMDS is a “ hydroxyl getter” and creates a hydrophobic surface, which the Photoresist had good adhesion.

•BOTTOMLINE: Priming adjusts the surface energy of the wafer so that it is comparable to the surface energy of the Photoresist.

Photolithography OverviewPhotoresist Post Exposure Bake

• Purposes: key idea• DNQ/Novolak positive tone: diffusion bake : Diffusion of

PAC to improve CD contact by removing standing waves.• PAG/Novolak negative tone: (acid hardened resist: AHR)

Diffusion of H+ ion to react with polymer causing polymer to become insoluble.( PAG: Triazine)

• DUV PAG/Blocking group/PHS: Diffusion of H+ ion to react with blocking group causing PHS to become soluble

Photolithography OverviewPhotoresist exposure and dissolution

• Key ideas:• DNQ and Novolak Resin I-line 365nm system• 1. DNQ or Photo Active Compound PAC is an Inhibitor: It inhibits

Development rate when present! There is very little dissolution in an OH solution.

• 2. Photolytic conversion of DNQ to ICA in by exposure to Near UV radiation ( Hg lamp) increases development rate

• PAG and Poly Hydroxystyrene PHS DUV CAR 248nm system• 1. PAG Photo-Acid-Generator creates an Acid (H+) upon exposure to

248nm radiation. There is very little dissolution in an OH solution.• 2. The addition of thermal energy using a PEB bake causes the H+ to

diffuse and react with the blocking group, causing the exposed area to become soluble.

• Improve adhesion of photoresist for subsequent wet processing:

• Wet etches: BHF, Acetic acid, H2O2

• Plateup: Au or Cu• Increasing hardbake temperature will cause

photoresist patterns to flow.
