Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for producing a semiconductor device includes the steps of: applying a composition for forming a resist underlayer film for EUV lithography including a novolac resin containing a halogen atom onto a substrate having a film to be fabricated for forming a transferring pattern and baking the composition so as to form a resist underlayer film for EUV lithography; and applying a resist for EUV lithography onto the resist underlayer film for EUV lithography, irradiating, with EUV through a mask, the resist underlayer film for EUV lithography and a film of the resist for EUV lithography on the resist underlayer film, developing the film of the resist for EUV lithography, and transferring an image formed in the mask onto the substrate by dry etching so as to form an integrated circuit device.

First claim

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing a semiconductor device comprising the steps of: applying a composition for forming a resist underlayer film for EUV lithography comprising a novolac resin containing a halogen atom onto a substrate having a film to be fabricated for forming a transferring pattern and baking the composition so as to form a resist underlayer film for EUV lithography; and applying a resist for EUV lithography onto the resist underlayer film for EUV lithography, irradiating, with EUV through a mask, the resist underlayer film for EUV lithography and a film of the resist for EUV lithography on the resist underlayer film, developing the film of the resist for EUV lithography, and transferring an image formed in the mask onto the substrate by dry etching so as to form an integrated circuit device. 2. The method for producing a semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the novolac resin containing a halogen atom includes a cross-linkable group composed of an epoxy group, a hydroxy group, or a combination of an epoxy group and a hydroxy group. 3. The method for producing a semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the halogen atom is a bromine atom or an iodine atom. 4. The method for producing a semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the novolac resin containing a halogen atom is a reaction product of a novolac resin or an epoxidized novolac resin and a halogenated benzoic acid. 5. The method for producing a semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the novolac resin containing a halogen atom is a reaction product of a glycidyloxy novolac resin and diiodosalicylic acid. 6. The method for producing a semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the composition includes the novolac resin containing a halogen atom, a cross-linking agent, a cross-linking catalyst, and a solvent. 7. The method for producing a semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises an acid generator. 8. The method for producing a semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the novolac resin containing a halogen atom is a novolac resin having a weight average molecular weight of 1,000 to 100,000.
