Manufacturing method of embedding planarization film]
manufacturing method of embedding planarization film of the present embodiment (hereinafter, also referred to as "manufacturing method of this embodiment") is a region including the concave portion of the member having a recess, a polyamine and in a region including a first coating step of filling the first coating liquid in the recess by applying a first coating solution containing a first solvent, the recess in which the first coating liquid is embedded in said member, a carboxyl group organics and boiling with two or more are SP values at 200 ° C. or less 30 (MPa) 1/2 by applying a second coating solution containing a less second solvent is, the area including the concave portion of the member having a second coating step of forming a planarizing film buried to flatten.
The manufacturing method of this embodiment may have other steps as necessary.
Other processes include processes known in the semiconductor process or the circuit board process.
[0011]
In this embodiment, the embedding planarization film refers to film having at least partially embedded in the recess by (i.e., is the filling) that the ability to planarize the area including the concave member having a recess.
Embedding planarization film may be formed only on the inside of the recess (filled) (e.g., see FIG. 4), formed inside (filling) has been the recess on the external (recess above the recess, and , which may be formed to protrude to the flat portion of the periphery) of the recess (e.g., see FIGS. 1, 3 and 5).
[0012]
According to the manufacturing method of this embodiment, excellent filling property for the recess (embedding property), it is possible to form an excellent embedding planarization film in heat resistance.
The reason for this effect is achieved is believed to be as follows.
That is, in the manufacturing method of the present embodiment, the area including the concave portion of the member having a concave portion, a planarization film embedded by sequentially applying a first coating liquid and second coating liquid.
In the manufacturing method of the present embodiment,
the first coating solution, easy to fill the recess easily reach the bottom of the recess (i.e., embedded easily) be liquid, and,
the second solvent in the second coating solution , solvent hardly dissolving the polyamine filled in the recess (elution) the application of the first coating liquid, i.e. (specifically 30 (MPa) SP value is lower half by the following) as a solvent,
the recess It is considered to be a planarization film buried excellent filling property (embedding property) for.
Furthermore, in the manufacturing method of this embodiment, in the inside of the recess of the member, with a polyamine of the first coating solution the two or more and an organic substance having reacts (preferably a carboxyl group of the second coating solution, the polyamine amino by the carboxyl group of the group and organic, amide bond, amide imide bond, and at least one imide bonds are formed), it is considered possible to form an excellent embedding planarization film in heat resistance.
It relates the second coating step, more specifically, SP value in the second coating liquid 30 (MPa) 1/2Because it contains a second solvent or less, in the second coating step, a phenomenon of the polyamine begins to melt in the second coating liquid (second solvent), and, a phenomenon that decreases the packing against the recess by such phenomena It is suppressed. Therefore, in the second coating step, easily penetrate the organic material having two or more carboxyl groups to the bottom of the recess, penetrate the organic matter reacts well polyamines and efficiency that are present inside the recess. Therefore, excellent filling property for the recess, and is considered that it is possible to form an excellent embedding planarization film in heat resistance.
For the above reasons, according to the manufacturing method of this embodiment, excellent filling property for the recess (filling property), it is considered possible to form a good embedding planarization film in heat resistance.
[0013]
As described above, the present embodiment, the polyamine is SP value 30 (MPa) 1/2 has been made in view of the points easily dissolved in excess of the solvent (e.g. water), into the recess due to the dissolution of the polyamine has been accomplished as a means for suppressing the deterioration of the filling property.
Further, the present embodiment is found that films having excellent heat resistance by reaction with organic material having a polyamine and a carboxyl group two or more can be obtained, has been completed.
[0014]
The manufacturing method of this embodiment, since the boiling point of the second solvent is at 200 ° C. or less, the advantage that hardly remains in the planarization film the second solvent is embedded (e.g., easily be removed from within the coating by evaporation) also it has.
[0015]
Further, planarization layer buried manufactured by the manufacturing method of this embodiment, as described above, polyamines and was film (preferably an amide obtained by reaction with organic material having a carboxyl group of the second coating liquid in the two or more because a membrane) with binding, resistance to plasma that may be irradiated after implantation flattening film formation (hereinafter, also excellent also referred) to as "plasma resistance".
The plasma referred to herein, helium gas, argon gas, nitrogen gas, ammonia gas, and plasma generated from at least one gas selected from the group consisting of fluorocarbon-based gas and the like.
[0016]
Meanwhile, as the excellent film in heat resistance, polyimide films have been widely known.
However, the study by the present inventors, the polyimide film tends to shrink after application, Therefore, in the case of using the polyimide film as a planarizing film embedding packing against recesses clear that there is a tendency to decrease became. Further, in the case of using the polyimide film as a planarizing film buried, because the pattern shift occurs by the contraction, increasing the design dimension margin inevitably. Therefore, it becomes difficult narrower pitch design of electronic devices (semiconductor devices, etc.).
For these problems, according to the manufacturing method of this embodiment, embedded in comparison with a method of forming a polyimide film as a planarizing film, a planarization film buried excellent filling property for the recess. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the design dimensions margin, it is facilitated narrower pitch design of electronic devices (semiconductor devices, etc.).
[0017]
In the production method of the present embodiment, the organic substance having a carboxyl group contained in the second coating solution is more than one, preferably a divalent or higher carboxylic acids. Thus, the heat resistance of the planarizing film embedded is further improved. When organic material having a carboxyl group two or more is a divalent or higher carboxylic acids, can be the upper temperature limit of the flattening film embedded, for example, 350 ° C. or higher. When organic material having a carboxyl group two or more is a divalent or higher carboxylic acids, also further improved plasma resistance of the buried planarization film.
[0018]
From the viewpoint of further heat resistance of the planarizing film buried improved, organic matter having a carboxyl group contained in the second coating solution is more than one, is preferably a trivalent or higher carboxylic acids. When organic material having a carboxyl group two or more is a trivalent or higher carboxylic acids, can be the upper temperature limit of the flattening film embedded, for example, 400 ° C. or higher.
Further, when the organic substance having two or more carboxyl groups is a trivalent or higher carboxylic acids, also further improved plasma resistance of the buried planarization film. When organic material having a carboxyl group two or more is a trivalent or higher carboxylic acids, for example, helium gas, argon gas, nitrogen gas, ammonia gas, and at least one gas selected from the group consisting of fluorocarbon gas the etching rate of the planarizing film buried for resulting plasma, SiO against the plasma 2 can be suppressed to the film etching rate equal to or less.
[0019]
In the production method of the present embodiment, the first solvent, boiling point of 200 ° C. or less, preferably a hydrophilic solvent.
By boiling point of the first solvent is 200 ° C. or less, hardly remaining in the planarization film the first solvent is embedded (e.g., easily be removed from within the coating by evaporation) effects are achieved that.
The first solvent If it is hydrophilic, the solubility of the polyamine to the first solvent is further improved, and thus the stability of the first coating liquid is further improved.
[0020]
In the production method of the present embodiment, embedding planarization film preferably has an amide bond. By having an amide bond, ultimately it is possible to crosslink the polyamine in three dimensions. Thus, the heat resistance of the planarizing film embedded is further improved.
If having a planarizing film embedded amide bond, embedding planarization film, in addition to the amide bond may have at least one of the imide bonds and amide imide bond.
[0021]

However, in the manufacturing method of this embodiment, since a planarization film embedded with a liquid (first coating liquid and second coating liquid), also to the recess of the above embodiments, the filling property (embedding property) it is possible to form the excellent embedding planarization film.
In other words, in the case of forming a planarizing film embedded with respect to the concave portion of the above embodiment, the effect of the filling property of the present embodiment (filling property) is particularly effectively exhibited.
[0023]

[0025]
30 minutes heat treatment after film remaining ratio (%) = (30 min heat-treated film having a film thickness of / 10 min heat treated film thickness of) × 100 ... formula (1)
[0026]
The film thickness of the buried planarizing film can be measured by observing the cross section of the recess. Embedding planarization film material itself of the heat-resistant or residual film ratio, or, in order to assess whether it is film formation, forming a film in the first coating step and the second coating step using a flat substrate then, it may be to measure the film thickness. In the case of using a flat substrate, it can be measured using an ellipsometer.

The metal content measurement, usually using a total reflection X-ray fluorescence. The metal content measurement, is to measure the one provided a planarizing film embedded member having a recess, other, using a film formed on a planar substrate such as a silicon wafer, it is measured metal content good.
[0029]
Content per unit area of the metal element in the embedded planarizing film is, metal elements one per × 10 5 10 the atom / cm 2 embedded planarization film embodiments or less is removed by UV ozone treatment or plasma treatment that film (i.e., the sacrificial layer) is particularly suitable as a. This is because, when the sacrificial layer is removed, there is a possibility that the residual contamination because metallic elements in the UV-ozone treatment or plasma treatment.
