256M DRAM급에 해당하는 0.25$\mu\textrm{m}$의 회로선 폭을 가공하기 위해 Arc layer & DUV resist 사용이 필수적이다. Poly-Si 식각시 Arc layer 적용여부 및 resist 종류에 따른 차이 를 TCP-9408 etcher(Lam Research Co.)에서 $Cl_2/O_2, Cl_2/N_2, Cl_2$/HBr 3가지 gas chemistry 를 변화시키면서 조사하였다. 동일한 식각 조건에서 DUV resist사용의 경우에 I-line resist 에 비해 식각 profile이 profile이 positive하고 CD gain도 크게 나왔다. 이것은 resist손실에 의한 polymer생성의 증가가 식각시 측벽 보호막을 강화시키기 때문이다. Arc layer 적용의 경우 Arc layer 식각시 생기는 fluorine계 polymer가 poly-Si 식각시 mask역할을 하므로 CD gain이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. Gas chemistry에 의한 영향은 $Cl_2/O_2$의 경우가 식각 시 polymer형성을 촉진시켜 positive profile 및 CD gain을 초래하였다. $Cl_2$/HBr의 경우에는 profile이 vertical 하였고 CD gain도 거의 없었다. 또한 dense pattern 과 isolated pattern 사이의 profile 및 CD 차이도 가정 작게 나타났다. HBr gas 사용이 식각시 pattern density 에 따른 측벽 보호막 형성의 불균일성을 최소화 시켜 양호한 특성을 보여주었다.

Cold temperature development (CTD) of electron beam (EB) patterned resists and subsequent dry etching were investigated for fabrication of nano-patterned Niobium (Nb). Bulky Nb fims on GaAs substrates were deposited with EB evaporation. Line patterns on Nb cathode were fabricated by EB patterning and reactive ion etching (RIE). Size deviations of nano-sized line patterns from CAD designed patterns are dependent on the EB total exposure, but it can be improved by CTD of EB-exposed resist. Line patterns of 10 to 300 nm widths of EB-exposed resist patterns were drawn under various exposure conditions of $0.2{\mu}s$/dot (total 240,000 dot) with a constant current (50 pA). Compared with room temperature development (RTD), the CTD improves pattern resolution due to the suppression of backscattering effect. RIE with $CF_4$ was performed for formation of several nano-sized line patterns on Nb. Each EB-resist patterned samples with RTDs and CTDs were etched with two different $CF_4$ gas pressures of 5 Pa. Nb etching rate increases while GaAs (or ZEP) etching rate decreases as the chamber pressure increases. This different dependent of the etching rate on the $CF_4$ pressure between Nb and GaAs (or ZEP) has a significant meaning because selective etching of nano-sized Nb line patterns is possible without etching of the underlying active layer.

Although, there are several research studies on the engineering of the graphene layers using different etching techniques, there is not any comprehensive study on the effects of using different etching masks in the reactive ion etching (RIE) method on the quality and uniformity of the etched graphene films. This study investigated the effects of using polystyrene and conventional photolithography resist as a etching mask on the engineering of the number of graphene layers, using RIE. The effects were studied using Raman spectroscopy. This analysis indicated that the photo-resist mask is better than the polystyrene mask because of its lower post processing effects on the graphene surface during the RIE process. A single layer graphene was achieved from a bi-layer graphene after 3 s of the RIE process using oxygen plasma, and the bi-layer graphene was successfully etched after 6 s of the RIE process. The bilayer etching time was significantly smaller than reported values for graphene flakes in previous research.

Fine lithographic technology in a submicron design regime is necessary for the fabrication of VLSI circuits. In such lithography, fine pattern delineation is performed by electron beam, ion beam and X-ray lithography instead of photolithography. Therefore, the new resist materials and development method have been required. So, we are investigating another positive E-beam resists which have high sensitivity and dry etching resistance, Plasma co-polymerized resist was prepared using an interelectrode gas-flow-type reacter. Methymethacrylate, tetramethyltin and styrene were chosen as the monomer to be used. The delineated pattern in the resist was developed with gas-flow-type reactor using an argon and 02 as etching gas. We studied about the effects of discharge power and mixing rate of the co-polymerized thin :film. The molecular structure of thin film was investigated by ESCA and IR, and then was discussed in relation to its quality as a resist.

전자 기기의 소형화, 집적화 및 박형화에 따라 인쇄회로기판 제조 시 미세한 회로 패턴이 요구되고 있다. 기존의 인쇄회로기판은 dry film resist를 이용한 photolithography 법을 적용하여 주로 제조하지만, 미세 회로 패턴 구현을 위해서는 정밀한 마스크 설계 및 고가의 노광장비 등이 필요하다는 한계점이 있다. 이에 따라서 최근에는 dry film resist를 대체하여 미세 회로 패턴 형성에 유리한 광경화형 잉크를 직접인쇄 공정을 통해 인쇄회로기판의 회로 패턴을 형성하는 연구들이 관심받고 있다. 광경화형 잉크를 통한 회로 패턴 형성을 위해서는 동박과의 밀착성, 패턴 형성 과정에서의 에칭 저항성, 박리 특성의 제어가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 광개시제 종류 및 함량이 다른 여러 광경화형 잉크를 제조하고 이들의 광경화 거동을 분석하였다. 또한, 광경화형 에칭 레지스트 잉크로의 적용성 평가를 위해 에칭 저항성, 박리성, 밀착성 등을 분석하였다.

인쇄회로를 제작하기 위하여 기판상에 에칭 레지스트, 도금막, 절연재료, 솔더 마스크 등을 패터닝 하게 되는데, 일반적으로 이러한 유기체 막들은 대부분 액상이나 고형의 필름 형태로 패턴을 형성하게 된다. 형성된 패턴과 동박과의 접착력 향상이 가장 주요한 문제점 중의 하나이다. 상대적으로 편평한 동박면과 유기체 막과의 접착력을 향상시키기 위해 일반적으로 접촉 면적을 증가시키기 위한 표면개질을 하게 된다. 기계적 브러싱이나 스크러빙에 의해서도 기판상의 동박의 surface topography 를 개선하기 위한 노력이 시도 되고 있지만, 본 연구에서는 microetching 방법에 의해서 화학적으로 동박 표면상에 최대한 요철을 많이 형성하여 에칭 레지스트와 동박 간의 접착력을 증대시키기 위한 연구를 수행하였다.

The effect of plasma polymerization conditions on the structure of the plasma polymerized styrene were investigated by using Fourier Transform Infrared Ray(FT-IR), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Gel Permeation Chromatography(GPC). Plasma polymerized thin film was prepared using an interelectrode inductively coupled gas-flow-type reactor. We show that polymerization parameters of thin film affect sensitivity and etching resistance of plasma polymerized styrene is 1.41~3.93, and deposition rate of that are 32~383[.angs./min] with discharge power. Swelling and etching resistance becomes more improved with increasing discharge power during plasma polymerization. (author). 11 refs., 10 figs., 1 tab.

This work was carried out to develop a pattern on the nanometer scale using plasma polymerization and plasma etching. This study is also aimed at developing a resist for the nano process and a vacuum lithography process. The thin films of plasma polymerization were fabricated by the plasma po1ymerization of inter-electrode capacitively coupled gas flow system. After delineating the pattern at accelerating voltage of 30[kV]. ranging the dose of 1∼500[${\mu}$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$], the pattern was developed with dry tree and formed by plasma etching. By analysing of the molecule structure using FT-lR, it was confirmed that the thin films of PPMST contains the functional radicals of the MST monomer. The thin films of PPMST had a highly crosslinked structure resulting in a higher molecule weight than the conventional resist.

The process window for the etch selectivity of silicon nitride ($Si_3N_4$) layers to extreme ultra-violet (EUV) resist and variation of line edge roughness (LER) of EUV resist were investigated durin getching of $Si_3N_4$/EUV resist structure in a dual-frequency superimposed capacitive coupled plasma (DFS-CCP) etcher by varying the process parameters, such as the $CH_2F_2$ and $N_2$ gas flow rate in $CH_2F_2/N_2$/Ar plasma. The $CH_2F_2$ and $N_2$ flow rate was found to play a critical role in determining the process window for infinite etch selectivity of $Si_3N_4$/EUV resist, due to disproportionate changes in the degree of polymerization on $Si_3N_4$ and EUV resist surfaces. The preferential chemical reaction between hydrogen and carbon in the hydrofluorocarbon ($CH_xF_y$) polymer layer and the nitrogen and oxygen on the $Si_3N_4$, presumably leading to the formation of HCN, CO, and $CO_2$ etch by-products, results in a smaller steady-state hydrofluorocarbon thickness on $Si_3N_4$ and, in turn, in continuous $Si_3N_4$ etching due to enhanced $SiF_4$ formation, while the $CH_xF_y$ layer is deposited on the EUV resist surface. Also critical dimension (and line edge roughness) tend to decrease with increasing $N_2$ flow rate due to decreased degree of polymerization.
