Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a resist underlayer film forming composition for use in a lithography process for producing a semiconductor device. The composition includes a polymer containing specific unit structures that can effectively absorb reflection light from the substrate and improve the resolution and stability of the resist pattern during processing. The composition can also have a selection ratio of the dry etching rate close to that of the resist, and can function as a reflection preventing film with excellent resist pattern quality. Additionally, the composition can provide a method for forming a resist pattern using the resist underlayer film forming composition.

Problems solved by technology

Following such a tendency, the influence of diffuse reflection of an activating light ray from the substrate or of a standing wave has become a large problem.
In future, when the miniaturization of the resist pattern progresses, there are caused a problem of the resolution and a problem of the collapse of the resist pattern after the development, so that the thinning of the resist becomes desired.
Therefore, it is difficult to obtain a film thickness of the resist pattern sufficient for processing the substrate and a process for imparting a function as a mask during processing the substrate to not only the resist pattern, but also a resist underlayer film produced between a resist and a semiconductor substrate to be processed, has become necessary.

synthesis example 1

[0135]30 g of 2-vinyl naphthalene, 3.5 g of glycidyl methacrylate and 4.5 g of 1-butoxyethyl methacrylate were dissolved in 112 g of cyclohexanone and then, the inside of a flask was purged with nitrogen, followed by elevating the temperature to 60° C. After elevating the temperature, 1.9 g of azobis-isobutylonitrile dissolved in 48 g of cyclohexanone were added to the reaction solution under nitrogen pressure and the reaction was effected at 60° C. for 24 hours. The reaction solution was cooled and then charged into methanol and a polymer was reprecipitated. The obtained polymer was dried by heating to obtain a polymer represented by Formula (7-1). The obtained polymer had a weight average molecular mass Mw of 12,000 (as converted into polystyrene).
