Abstract

The invention relates to a photoresist composition, which comprises (a) an acrylate copolymer, (b) a polyhydroxy styrene polymer, (c) a photoacid generator, (d) an acid quenching agent and (e) a solvent. The photoresist composition has the beneficial effects that the problem of cracking of an acrylate-based photoresist when the thickness is greater than or equal to 6 microns is solved through increasing the molecular weight of the acrylate copolymer, improving the flexibility of a molecular chain of the acrylate copolymer and blending the acrylate copolymer and a traditional polyhydroxy styrene polymer, so that the photoresist composition provided by the invention can meet the requirement that the thickness is greater than or equal to 6 microns and the requirements of photoetching and etching at 248nm.

Description

technical field [0001] This application relates to the field of photoresist technology. In particular, the present application relates to a photoresist composition comprising a poly(p-hydroxystyrene) polymer and an acrylate copolymer. Background technique [0002] In the preparation of 3D NAND memory, a deep ultraviolet Deep UV (DUV248nm) photoresist with a thickness greater than or equal to 6 microns is required for multiple etching of steps in NAND. Traditional 248nm KrF photoresists are based on poly(p-hydroxystyrene) polymers, which have high UV absorption, and cannot perform effective photolithography when the thickness is greater than 5um, especially greater than or equal to 6 microns. [0003] In addition, acrylate-based photoresists are commonly used as ArF photoresists at 193nm. As far as the inventors are aware, there is no document reporting or disclosing a photoresist with a thickness greater than or equal to 6 micrometers and capable of photolithography at 248...
