Photoresist patterns are formed using a photoresist composition, which includes water, a negative photoresist polymer having a salt-type repeating unit, and a photoacid generator, so that a developing process can be performed not by using conventional TMAH solution but by using water. Additionally, because the main solvent of the composition is water, the disclosed photoresist composition is environment-friendly, and has a low light absorbance at 193 nm and 248 nm, which is useful in a photolithography process using a light source in a far ultraviolet region when high-integrated fine circuits of semiconductor device are manufactured.
利用包含
水、带有盐型重复单元的负性光阻聚合物和光酸发生剂的光阻组合物形成光阻图案,因此可以通过使用
水而不是传统的TMAH溶液进行显影过程。此外,由于该组合物的主要溶剂是
水,因此所述的光阻组合物具有环保性,并且在制造半导体器件的高集成度细小电路时使用远紫外光源的光刻工艺中具有低的193 nm和248 nm的光吸收率,这是有用的。
