COMPOSITION FOR ANTIREFLECTION OR LIGHT ABSORPTION FILM AND COMPOUNDS FOR USE IN THE SAME

Abstract: A composition for an anti-reflective coating or a radiation absorbing coating which can form an anti-reflective coating or a radiation absorbing coating having high absorption to exposed radiation in the range of 100 to 450 nm, no diffusion of photo-generated acid to anti-reflective coating and so on, no intermixing of resist and anti-reflective coating layer, good shelf-life stability, and good step coverage and novel compounds and polymers being preferably used in the composition are disclosed. The composition contains an acrylic or methacrylic compound or polymer with an isocyanate or thioisocyanate group bonded through alkylene group to side chain thereof or with an amino or hydroxyl group-containing organic chromophore which absorbs radiation in the range of 100 to 450 nm wavelength and is bonded, for example, through an alkylene group to the isocyanate or thioisocyanate group. Resist patters with high resolution are formed on a substrate as follows. That is, a composition for an anti-reflective coating or a radiation absorbing coating are applied on the substrate and baked to form an anti-reflective coating or a radiation absorbing coating layer. Then, a chemically amplified resist is coated thereon and after patternwize exposure, developed. During baking of the anti-reflective coating or radiation absorbing coating, hardening or curing of the coating takes place by the presence of the isocyanate or thioisocyanate group. On the other hand, the exposed radiation having wavelength in the range of 100 to 450 nm is absorbed by organic chromophore.

Description: Technical Field This invention relates to a composition for an anti-reflective coating or a radiation absorbing coating useful for forming an antireflective coating or other radiation absorbing coating, a monomeric dye, a polymeric dye or a hardening agent compound being used in the composition, a method of forming an anti-reflective coating or a radiation absorbing coating and a method of'preparing resist patterns or integrated circuits using the anti-reflective coating or radiation absorbing coating. Background Art In the field of semiconductor manufacturing, to obtain integrated circuits with higher degree of integration, miniaturization techniques of resist pattern size have been studied and development and improvement of lithographic process using short wavelength exposure tools such as deep ultraviolet ray are proceeding. As high performance resist showing good properties on the deep ultraviolet exposure, positive- or negative-working chemically amplified photoresists sensitive to deep ultraviolet (100-300 nm) are known. While such exposure tools in combination with the high performance chemically amplified resists are capable of patterning sub-quarter micron geometry, they bring in several other problems that need to be solved in achieving such high resolutions. One such problem which is well known in the art and is called as "standing waves" arising from interference with incident beam and reflective beam reflected on the surface of the substrate. Another limitation is the difficulty in uniformly controlling the linewidth of resist pattern in single layer resist process due to thin film interference effects resulting from highly planar and non-planar substrates. Such problems are well documented. See, for example, M. Horn in Solid State Technology, Nov. 1991, p. 57, and T. Brunner, Proc. SPIE, vol.1466, p.297 (1991). Other pattern distortions are caused by light reflected angularly from topographical features called as reflective notching and are discussed by M. Bolsen, G. Buhr, H. Merrem, and K. Van Werden, Solid State Technology, Feb. 1986, p.83. One of methods to overcome the above-mentioned problems is to add dyes to the photoresists as described in U.S. Patent 4,575,480, U.S patent 4,882,260 and so on. When a dye is added to the photoresist to form a photoresist film having high optical density at the exposing wavelength, drawbacks such as loss of resist sensitivity, difficulties during hardening processes, thinning of the resists in alkaline developers and sublimation of the dyes during baking of the films are encountered. Another techniques to overcome the problem of forming patterns on reflective topography are top surface imaging (TSI) processes and multilayer resists (MLR) as described in U.S. patent 4,370,405. Such methods help to prevent the problems associated with reflectivity but are not only complex but also expensive and not a preferred method. On manufacturing semiconductors, single layer resist (SLR) processes are used commonly because of their simplicity and cost-effectiveness. Another method to eliminate the interference of light is to reduce the substrate reflectivity through the use of so-called bottom anti-reflective coatings (BARC). These coatings have the property of absorbing the light which passes through the photoresist and not reflecting it back. As these coatings, two types, inorganic and organic type are known. Inorganic type include such coatings as TiN, TiNO, TiW and inorganic polymer in the thickness of 300 A. See, for example, C. Nolscher et al., Proc. SPIE, vol.1086, p.242 (1989), K. Bather, H. Schreiber, Thin Solid Films, 200, 93 (1991) and G. Czech et al., Microelectronic Engineering, 21, p.51,(1993). Another examples of inorganic coating are of titanium, chromium oxide, carbon and α -silicon. These inorganic anti-reflective coatings are usually formed by a vacuum evaporation process, a CVD process, spattering and so on. The inorganic anti-reflective coatings ,however, have such problems as require precise control of the film thickness, uniformity of film, special deposition equipment, complex adhesion promotion techniques prior to resist coating, separate dry etching pattern transfer step, and dry etching for removal. And some of inorganic coatings show conductivity. The conductive coating is not available for anti-reflective coating upon manufacturing integrated circuits. Organic anti-reflective coatings have been generally formulated by adding dyes which absorb at the exposure wavelength to a polymer coating (Proc. SPIE, Vol.539(1985), p.342). The organic anti-reflective coating can be formed on a substrate by the same method as resist coating and, therefore, need not use special apparatus. Problems of such dye blended coatings include (1) separation of the polymer and dye components during spin coating, (2) solution of dye into resist solvents and (3) thermal diffusion into the resist upon the baking process. All these causes degradation of resist properties and therefore the method of forming an anti-reflective coating by using a polymer coating composition containing a dye is not a preferred method. Chemically binding the dyes into film forming polymers is another method. Fahey, et al. (Proc. SPIE, Vol. 2195, p.422) propose to use amino group possessing dyes reacted to the acid anhydride groups of poly(vinyl methylether-co-maleic anhydride) as anti-reflective coating materials. The problem with this type of anti-reflective coating compositions is that the reaction between amine and the acid anhydride group does not always conduct by 100 % completeness and this leads to presence of free amines(refer EP 0583205, page 5, lines 17-20). The free amine causes poisoning of the resist at the interface between anti-reflective coating and resist especially when a chemically amplified resist composition is used and this leads to a problem called footing. The free dye molecules also sublimes during the baking process and deposits on the fabrication instruments and causes contamination problem as well as health hazard to the workers. One more problem of such compositions is that imide compounds are poor in their solubility and need polar solvents normally not used in photoresist formulations. It would be ideal to have the similar solvent as the photoresist for anti-reflective coating as well by the reasons why the photoresist and anti-reflective coating are often formed using same coater. Further, fine particles are formed in coating composition due to by-product of imidization reaction, water, to cause defects of resist pattern. In addition, Fahey et al. proposed another anti-reflective coating materials based on copolymer of methyl methacrylate and 9-methylanthracene methacrylate. However, in case using an chemically amplified resist, this system also show footing problem due to the diffusion of photo-generated acid into the anti-reflective coating (Proc. SPIE, Vol.2195, P.426) as well as intermixing of the resist and the anti-reflective coating. Such polymers are also insoluble in preferred solvent in the art such as propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA) and ethyl lactate. U.S. Patent 5,234,990 reports polysulfone and polyurea polymers which possess inherent light absorbing properties at deep ultraviolet wavelengths. These condensation products have poor film forming property on a patterned wafer and therefore bad step-coverage and also formation of cracks perhaps due to high Tg and rigid structures of such polymers. Ideally, a bottom anti-reflective coating materials should form soft layer with good step coverage property upon coating and also hardened at least after baking to prevent intermixing of the photoresist and anti-reflective coating layer as well as diffusion of the photo-generated acid. Yet another European Laid-open Patent application No. 542 008 describes the use of phenolic type resin binders and melamine type cross linkers in combination of thermal or photo acid generators to harden the anti-reflective coating film after coating. Such compositions are poor in their shelf-life stability due to the presence of the cross-linkers and photo acid generators leading to high incidence of film defects and their etch rate is very slow due to the presence of large amounts of aromatic functional group. In EP-A-0 811 393 a soft intraocular lens consisting of a copolymer formed from perflorooctylethyloxypropylene (meth)acrylate, phenylethyl (meth)acrylate and alkyl (meth)acrylate and crosslinking monomer, further containing a monomer capable of ultraviolet light absorption is disclosed. In EP-A-0 120 608, polymers having large quantities of bound resorcinol monobenzoate ultraviolet absorbing stabilizer, which can be used in coating compositions to give superior durability is disclosed. In EP-A-0 315 876, a polymer based on ethylenically unsaturated monomers and containing units of esters of ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acids which are capable of (co)polymerization and contain urethane groups in the ester radicals, which polymer has been prepared by emulsion, suspension or bead polymerization or copolymerization is disclosed. However in the present invention such polymer having urethane groups is produced by addition reaction, so called block reaction to the polymer having isocyanate groups. In summary, a good bottom anti-reflective coating material should satisfy the following properties: (a) good film forming property (b) high absorption at the desired exposure wavelength (c) no intermixing with the photoresist (d) etch-rate much higher than the photoresist (e) good step-coverage on topography (f) at least six months shelf-life stability (g) the composition should be dissolved in a edge-bead rinse (EBR) solvent Unfortunately none of the bottom anti-reflective coating (BARC) materials satisfy these properties. The present invention provides materials with the above-mentioned properties which are necessary for a good BARC material; a composition available for forming BARC which contains the BARC material; a method of preparing thereof; a BARC layer formed by using the materials or composition; a method of forming thereof; and preparing resist patterns or integrated circuits. The first objective of the present invention is to provide a composition capable of forming a bottom anti-reflective layer or a radiation absorbing layer which reduces problems associated with reflected light from the substrate and topography during pattern formation. The second object of the present invention is to provide a composition capable of forming a bottom anti-reflective coating or a radiation absorbing coating with improved adhesion to substrates for micro-circuit, very good coating uniformity and no particle formation. The third object of the present invention is to provide a composition capable of forming a bottom anti-reflective coating or a radiation absorbing coating that has higher etch rate than the photoresist material applied thereon. The fourth object of the present invention is to provide novel (co)polymeric materials applicable for bottom anti-reflective coatings or radiation absorbing coatings containing intrinsically cross-linking and highly absorbing functions in a single molecule and which are soluble in similar or same solvent as the photoresist material applied thereon. The fifth objective of the present invention is to provide novel (co)polymeric materials applicable for bottom anti-reflective coatings containing intrinsically cross-linking and highly absorbing functions in a single molecule eliminating the need for additives with such functions. The sixth objective of the present invention is to provide novel monomers, polymers and copolymers capable of curing (cross-linking) at the baking temperatures to form very hard layers after baking, the resulting anti-reflective coating having no intermixing with photoresist coated thereon and no diffusion of the acid generated in the subsequent exposure steps to the anti-reflective coating and thereby preventing footing. The seventh objective of the present invention is to provide novel monomers, polymers and copolymers containing chromophores highly absorbing exposed wavelengths and being able to form ultra-thin anti-reflective coatings, which can provide sufficient radiation absorption with a film thickness of 30-300 nm. The eighth object of the present invention is to provide an anti-reflective coating or a radiation absorbing coating with good radiation absorbing property. The ninth object of the present invention is to provide a method of easily producing resist patterns with high resolution. The tenth object of the present invention is to provide a method of easily manufacturing integrated circuits with high degree of integration. Further object of the present invention will become apparent from the following description.

That is, alkyl, aryl, halogen, alkoxyl, nitro, aldehyde, cyano, amide, dialkylamino, sulfonamide, imide, carboxylic acid, carboxylic acid ester, sulfonic acid, sulfonic acid ester, alkylamino, arylamino. Above mentioned composition is coated on a reflective semiconductor substrate such as silicon primed with hexamethyl disilazane, for example, in dry thickness of 300-50,000 A, baked to evaporate the solvent and harden the film, a thin film being formed. The baking temperature of the film is usually in the range of 50 to 250°C. Then a desired photoresist is coated onto the film, exposed through a mask and developed to produce a resist pattern with predetermined line width. Pattern is transferred to the substrate by dry- or wet-etching the resist pattern. Thus integrated circuit with a high degree of integration are manufactured. Monomers of the present invention can be synthesized from the bifunctional monomer represented by following General Formula III. General formula III Wherein R, R 1 and X are as defined above. It is possible to prepare a variety of monomeric dyes C possessing polymerizable vinyl groups by reacting the bifunctional monomer A represented by General Formula III with amino or hydroxyl group containing chromophore B as shown in the following Reaction Scheme I. Wherein R, R 1 , X, Y and D are as defined above. As examples of D, the following groups are given but by no means limited to these examples: phenyl, substituted phenyl, benzyl, substituted benzyl, naphthalene, substituted naphthalene, anthracene, substituted anthracene, anthraquinone, substituted anthraquinone, acridine, substituted acridine; azobenzene, substituted azobenzene, fluorime, substituted fluorime, fluorimone, substituted fluorinome, carbazole, substituted carbazole, N-alkylcarbazole, dibenzofuran, substituted dibenzofuran, phenanthrene, substituted phenanthrene, pyrene, substituted pyrene and so on. The substitutions in D can be one or more of the following groups. That is, alkyl, aryl, halogen, alkoxyl, nitro, aldehyde, cyano, amide, dialkylamino, sulfonamide, imide, carboxylic acid, carboxylic acid ester, sulfonic acid, sulfonic acid ester, alkylamino, arylamino and so on. As examples of compound A in the Reaction Scheme I which is represented by General Formula III, the following compounds are given: 2-isocyanatoethyl methacrylate, 2-isocyanatoethyl acrylate, 4-isocyanatohexyl acrylate, 4-isocyanatobenzyl methacrylate, 3-isocyanatopropyl methacrylate and corresponding compounds which isocyanate group therein is replaced with thioisocyanate group. Preferred examples of compound A include 2-isocyanatoethyl methacrylate and 2-isocyanatoethyl acrylate. Preferred examples of compound B in the reaction scheme I include but by no means restricted to the following: phenol, benzyl alcohol, 1-napthol, 7-hydroxy-2-naphthaldehyde, 9-hydroxyanthracene, 9-hydroxymethylanthracene, phenanthrol, aniline, benzyl amine, 2-phenylethylamine, 4-aminobenzenesulfonamide, 4-aminobenzophenone, 4-aminobenzylcyanide, 4-aminobenzoic acid, 4-aminobenzanilide, 4-aminobiphenyl, 1-aminonaphthalene, 1-aminoanthracene, N-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-1,4-benzenediamine, 4-N,N-dimethylbenzenediamine, 4-aminophenol, 4-aminodiphenyl ether, 4-aminoquinoline. Especially preferred examples of compound B include 1-aminoanthracene, 1-aminonaphtalene and 9-hydroxymethylanthracene. Compound C thus obtained can be used in a composition for an anti-reflective or radiation absorbing coating as such cr by blending with a film forming material. When the compound C is used in the composition, there is some possibility of evaporation as well as leaching of the compound C in the photoresist. Therefore it is preferable to use the compound after polymerization according to following Reaction Scheme II to yield high molecular weight, film forming material. Wherein R, R 1 , X, Y and D are as defined above. Compound C can also be copolymerized with one or more monomers to impart different functions to the obtained polymeric material such as increased radiation absorption, etch rate, solubility in a particular solvent, shelf-life stability, curing (cross-linking) property and other property improvement as shown in reaction scheme III. For example, suitable comonomers to impart the solubility to polymers are usually acrylates, methacrylates and so on and suitable ones to rise Tg value of polymer are styrene and it's derivatives are used in general. Specific comonomers to impart suitable properties to polymers are methyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, methyl acrylate, 2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyl methacrylate, acrylic acid, acrylonitrile, acrylamide, 2-isocyanatoethyl methacrylate, 4-acetoxystyrene, 3-methyl-4-hydroxystyrene, styrene, vinyl chloride, ethyl vinyl ether, butyl vinyl ether, isobutyl vinyl ether, cyclohexyl vinyl ether, methyl vinyl ether, maleic anhydride, maleimide, N-substituted maleimides, vinyl acetate and 2-isocyanatoethyl acrylate. The examples of comonomers classified under every properties are as follows. That is, comonomers increasing radiation absorption when used with organic chromophores include 2-isocyanatoethyl methacrylate, maleic anhydride, maleimide, N-substituted maleimides, 2-isocyanatoethyl acrylate; comonomers increasing etch rate are methyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, methyl acrylate, acrylic acid, vinyl chloride; comonomers improving solubility for usual photoresist solvent such as PGMEA and ethyl lactate include 2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl methacrylate, acrylic acid, 4-acetoxystyrene, 3-methyl-4-hydroxystyrene, ethyl vinyl ether, butyl vinyl ether, isobutyl vinyl ether, cyclohexyl vinyl ether, methyl vinyl ether, vinyl acetate; comonomeres improving curing (cross-linking) property include 2-isocyanatoethyl methacrylate,2-isocyanatoethyl acrylate; and comonomers rising Tg value include styrene, 3-methyl-4-hydroxystyrene. However, the above described specific compounds and properties are only illustrative to these groups of compounds. Any comonomers represented by General Formulas in following Reaction Scheme III can be used. Wherein R, R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , D, X, Y and Z are as defined above, and n, p and q are simple integers including zero and m and o are also simple integers including zero while at least one of them is greater than zero. As shown above, according to the present invention, the polymeric dyes can be synthesized by homopolymerization of monomeric dyes shown as the compound C or copolymerization of it with comonomers. Further, the polymeric dyes can also be synthesized by reacted polymers containing isocyanate or thioisocyanate groups in side chain with an amino or hydroxyl group containing chromophore (D-YH) as shown in the following Reaction Scheme IV. Wherein R, R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , D, X, Y and Z are as defined above, n, p and q are simple integers including zero and m and o are simple integers greater than zero. Yet another aspect of the present invention is that the compound A (represented by General Formula III) possessing isocyanate and/or thioisocyanate groups or polymers prepared by polymerization of monomers containing compound A as shown in following reaction scheme V can be used in a composition for an anti-reflective coating or a radiation absorbing coating to impart cross-linking or hardening function. Incorporation of such functions help to prevent the intermixing as well as diffusion of acid generated in positive-working photoresist into the anti-reflective coating or radiation absorbing coating leading to complete removal of photoresist material upon development process. It is also possible to use the isocyanate or thioisocyanate containing monomers or polymers to blend with other polymeric dyes and/or monomeric dyes in order to harden the anti-reflective coating material upon baking. These isocyanate or thioisocyanate containing polymers or monomers are usually able to cure the anti-reflective coating or radiation absorbing coating by using 0.1-40 % as sum of mole number of monomer and monomer unit of polymer containing isocyanate or thioisocyanate groups to sum of mole numbers of monomers and monomer units of polymer in the anti-reflective coating or radiation absorbing coating. As described in following, blocked isocyanate or thioisocyanate group containing monomer and polymer show same curing function as non-blocked ones. Therefore the blocked ones are equally treated with the non-blocked ones concerned to additive quantity. Wherein R, R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , X and Z are as defined above, m is a simple integer above zero and n, p and q are any simple integers including zero. Further, anti-reflective coatings (BARC) consisting of film forming polymer chemically connected with dyes are proposed. As materials used for constructing these anti-reflective coatings, for example, polymers in which acid anhydride moieties are reacted with dyes containing an amino group are known. But as all of the dyes do not react, free amines remain in the anti-reflective coating. In case using a chemically amplified resist as photoresist, the remaining amine in the anti-reflective coating reacts with the acid generated in the photoresist by exposure to cause the footing. When polymers reacted with hydroxyl group containing dyes are used, the hydroxyl group containing dyes remain in the anti-reflective coating and the footing may occur as same as using amino group containing dyes may occur. Adding polymers and/or monomers containing isocyanate or thioisocyanate groups represented by General Formula II or III to anti-reflective coating containing free amine or hydroxyl group containing compound helps to prevent the footing problem due to binding of the free amine or hydroxyl group containing compound with isocyanate or thioisocyanate group in polymers or monomers. Isocyanate or thioisocyanate group containing monomers and/or polymers are relatively good shelf-life. However as activity of the isocyanate or thioisocyanate group is high, the isocyanate or thioisocyanate group containing coatings suffer from the problem of cross-linking by deterioration with time. When the compounds represented by General Formula ; R 7 -OH (wherein R 7 represents a substituted or non-substituted linear or branched alkyl group, a substituted or non-substituted cyclohexyl group or a substituted or non-substituted phenyl group which are bonded directly or through an alkylene group such as a methylene group.) are added to these monomers and/or polymers, the isocyanate or thioisocyanate group change to General Formula; -NHCOOR 7 or -NHCSOR 7 to be blocked. Therefore high activity of isocyanate or thioisocyanate group are controlled and shelf-life of the composition containing monomers or polymers with these groups are improved. By the process of blocking of isocyanate or thioisocyanate group, it is possible to improve the shelf-life of the compound as well as conduct easy refining of monomers or polymers. It is also possible to improve solubility in solvents. After the composition containing monomers or polymers with blocked isocyanate or thioisocyanate group is coated as an anti-reflective coating or radiation absorbing coating and then baked , it results in curing or cross-linking as well as non-blocked ones. Therefore it is thinking that a blocked isocyanate or thioisocyanate group acts for curing or cross-linking. The blocking of isocyanate or thioisocyanate groups may be one part or all of isocyanate or thioisocyanate group. Polymers that isocyanate or thioisocyanate group is blocked are represented by following General Formula V. General Formula V Wherein R, R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 7 , D, X, Y and Z m, n, o, p and q are as defined above, and r is a simple integer greater than zero. According to the present invention, polymerization process can be carried out in suitable solvent either using free radical or ionic initiators. Copolymer may be any polymer structure such as random copolymer, block copolymer. Preferred solvents to carry out the polymerization include toluene, tetrahydrofuran, benzene, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, ethyl lactate, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA). These solvents can be used individually or by combination of two or more. Illustrative initiators include 2,2'-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN), 2,2'-azobis(4-methoxy-2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile), 2,2-azobis(2-cyclopropylpropionitrile), 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile), 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethylpentanenitrile), 1,1'-azobis(cyclohexanecarbonitrile), benzoyl peroxide, t-butyl peroxybenzoate, di-t-butyl diperoxyphthalate, t-butyl peroxy-2-ethylhexanoate, t-butyl peroxypivalate, t-amylperoxypivalate, butyl lithium. Solvent upon synthesis of polymeric dyes according to reaction scheme IV include cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, butyrolactone, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, 2-heptanone, ethyl lactate, etyl-3-ethoxypropanate, ethylene glycol monoethyl acetate, methyl-3-methoxypropanate and so on. These solvents can be used individually or by blend of two or more. The polymeric dyes are isolated from solvent and dissolved in suitable solvent to prepare a composition for an anti-reflective or radiation absorbing coating. If the solvent upon synthesizing the polymeric dye are usable for the anti-reflective or radiation absorbing coating composition, the reaction composition can be used directly without isolating of polymers for preparing the anti-reflective or radiation absorbing coating composition or be coated directly onto a substrate such as wafer. It is preferred to filtrate the anti-reflective coating or radiation absorbing coating with, for example, 0.5 and 0.2µ filters and remove insoluble minute particles. The filtrate can be applied directly onto a substrate, for example, wafer etc. and baked at 50 to 250°C to form an anti-reflective coating or a radiation absorbing coating. However the filter used for filtering is not limited above described ones. It need scarcely without saying that any polar size filters are usable if necessary. The molecular weights of the homo- or copolymers prepared in reaction schemes II to V range between 500 to 5,000,000 daltons with respect to standard polystyrene as measured on a gel-permeation chromatography (GPC). Preferred molecular weight lies between 3,000 and 100,000 daltons considering the film forming property, solubility characteristics, thermal stability. The molecular weights of the obtained polymers depend on the polymerization conditions such as polymerization time, temperature, monomer and initiator concentration, reaction medium, and can be easily controlled by proper selection or adjustment of these parameters. Narrow molecular weight distribution can also be obtained by choosing ionic polymerization. The mole ratio of the comonomers in Reaction Schemes III, IV and V depends on the reaction rates of the respective monomers as well as the reaction conditions used and the mole ratio taken in the reaction feed. The absorption at the desired wavelength and the refractive index of the final polymer play an important role in the applicability of the polymer for bottom-anti reflective coatings and the like. Absorption in the range of 2 to 40 per micron film thickness is desired and between 5 and 25 is especially preferred and should be maintained in the copolymers as well. Too high absorption and too less absorption may lead to bad performance of the anti-reflective coating. Also the required radiation absorption property for an anti-reflective coating material depends on the radiation absorption property and refractive index of the photoresist material applied on the anti-reflective coating. The refractive index of the anti-reflective coating would be the best if it exactly matches or at least lies closer to that of the resist layer applied on top. The radiation absorbing property of an anti-reflective coating material depends on the molecular extinction degree of the monomer containing chromophore and it's mole ratio. Therefore the mole percent of the monomer containing the chromophore is important to control the absorption property. This can be easily controlled or tailored in the present invention as shown in reaction schemes III or IV to prepare polymers having intended mole ratio. The composition for an anti-reflective coating or a radiation absorbing coating of the present invention contains solvents. The anti-reflective coating and radiation absorbing coating material are dissolved in the solvent to the composition. The solubility of the anti-reflective coating materials and radiation absorbing coating materials in safe solvents are also important in application as an anti-reflective coating or a radiation absorbing coating. This is not restricted to safety ones as long as the solvent can dissolve the anti-reflective coating or radiation absorbing coating material and other additives (surfactants, plasticizers, cross-linkers) to improve the film forming properties. From the standpoint of safety, solubility, boiling point and film formation, examples of preferred solvents may include propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA), ethyl lactate (EL), cyclohexanone, cyclopentanone, 2-heptanone and combinations thereof. Solubility of the anti-reflective coating or radiation absorbing coating material of the present invention itself can be controlled by properly choosing suitable comonomers as shown in reaction schemes III, IV and V. Apart from the dye compounds and solvent described above, the composition for anti-reflective or radiation absorbing coating may also contain surfactants and other additives to form a uniform; defect free anti-reflective coating or radiation absorbing coating on the semiconductor substrate on which the composition is applied. As examples of surfactants, fluorinated or siloxane compounds can be illustrated but usable surfactants are not limited to these groups of compounds. Another property required for the polymer for a bottom anti-reflective coating is the etch rate of the coating. Skilled artists in the semiconductor industry will appreciate a bottom anti-reflective coating material that has significantly higher etch rate than the resist itself in order to successfully transfer the pattern after exposure and further processing steps. This property of polymer can also be controlled by properly selecting the comonomers in the Reaction Schemes III, IV and V. In general aromatic compounds have poor etch rates. Therefore, as comonomers, aliphatic group containing monomers as well as monomers possessing non-carbon elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, or halogen atom are preferably incorporated to increase the etch rate. The glass transition temperature of the anti-reflective coating or radiation absorbing coating material plays an important role in the intermixing property of the anti-reflective coating or radiation absorbing coating and the photoresist applied thereon. Intermixing of the coating and the photoresist would lead to incomplete removal of the photoresist upon development. Yet another problem when a chemically amplified photoresist material is applied on an anti-reflective coating or radiation absorbing coating material with low Tg is that the acid formed in photoresist upon exposure may diffuse into the BARC layer which leads to a distorted latent acid image and this can also cause incomplete removal of the photoresist material upon development. Therefore, it is desirable that the anti-reflective coating or radiation absorbing coating material has a glass transition temperature at least above maximum processing temperature such as baking temperature used while forming the photoresist layer. Again the glass transition temperature of the polymers of the present invention can be controlled by choosing appropriate type and amounts of monomers shown in Reaction Schemes III, IV and V.

Best Mode for Carrying out the Invention The present invention is now described more in details by reference to the following examples but these examples are not construed to be limitative at all. In the following examples, a bottom anti-reflective coating (BARC) was formed by the'method described in next Application Example 1 and the evaluation of the BARC materials were carried out. Application Example 1. A 5 wt % solution of the BARC material in an appropriate solvent was filtered using 0.5 and 0.2 micron filters, spin coated onto a 6 inch silicon wafer at suitable rpm for 40 seconds such that the BARC film has a thickness of 60 nm after baking at 200 °C for 60 seconds. The film was checked under microscope to identify any defects. The optical constants n (refractive index) and k (absorption coefficient) values of the film were measured on a ellipsometer at the respective wavelengths (248 nm or 356 nm). Followed by this, a 700 nm thick positive- or negative-working, chemically amplified deep ultraviolet photoresist, a 500 nm thick positive-working argon fluoride (193 nm) photoresist or a 1000 nm positive- or negative-working i-line novolak resist was applied over the BARC by spin-coating at a suitable rpm for 40 seconds. The resist was soft baked for 60 seconds at 110°C and exposed on a stepper operating with an excimer laser (248 nm) source in the case of the DUV resist, a stepper fitted with argon fluoride light source in the case of argon fluoride resist (193 nm) or an i-line (356 nm) stepper in the case of i-line resist using a reticle with line and space patterns. Following the exposure, the resist was post-exposure baked at 90°C, developed using a 0.24 N tetramethylammonium hydroxide developer solution except being 0.05 N ones in case of argon fluoride resist for 60 seconds at 23 °C to form the resist patterns. The resist patterns were examined on a scanning electron microscopy to check the resolution, standing waves, reflective notching, and footing of the line and space. In order to evaluate the step-coverage property of the BARC material, the BARC material followed by resist was again coated and processed onto the patterned wafer as described above and the pattern formed was checked using a scanning electron microscopy. The etch rate of BARC materials were evaluated using oxygen and fluoride gas plasma. The following resists were used in evaluation.

Synthesis Example 1 (Polymerization of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl isocyanate (PIEM)) In a three neck flask fitted with a condenser, a nitrogen inlet and a nitrogen outlet, there was added 108.6 g of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl isocyanate, 2.299 g of 2,2'-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) and 623 g of tetrahydrofuran and the contents were purged with dry nitrogen gas. The reaction mixture was heated to 70°C and stirred at that temperature for 7 hours under flowing nitrogen gas. After the completion of the reaction, it was cooled to room temperature and the polymer formed was reprecipitated into n-hexane. The white powder obtained was dried under vacuum (1 Torr) at room temperature to yield 100 g (92.1 %) of polymer. The polymer had a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of 21, 300 and a number average molecular weight (Mn) of 10,400 as measured on a gel-permeation chromatography (GPC) using polystyrene standard. The polymer was respectively dissolved in cyclohexanone and propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA) (each 5 wt % solid contents) and stored for further reactions described below. Synthesis Example 2 (Copolymerization of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl isocyanate and methyl methacrylate) In a three neck flask fitted with a condenser, a nitrogen inlet and a nitrogen outlet, there was added 54.3 g (0.35 mol) of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl isocyanate, 35.042 g (0.35 mol) of methyl methacrylate, 1.149 g of AIBN and 623 g of tetrahydrofuran and the contents were purged with dry nitrogen gas. The reaction mixture was heated to 70°C and stirred at that temperature for 7 hours under flowing nitrogen gas. After the completion of the reaction, it was cooled to room temperature and the polymer was reprecipitated into n-hexane. The white powder obtained was dried under vacuum (1 Torr) at room temperature to yield 80 g of polymer. The infrared spectrum of the polymer showed peaks at 2278 cm -1 (NCO) and at 1717 and 1707 cm -1 (C=O). The copolymer was found to have about 40 mol % of methyl methacrylate units based on the 1 H-NMR spectrum. The polymer had a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of 25,700 and a number average molecular weight (Mn) of 13,900 as measured on GPC using polystyrene standard. The polymer was respectively dissolved in cyclohexanone and propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA) (each 5 wt % solid contents) and stored for further reactions described below. Synthesis Example 3 (Copolymerization of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl isocyanate and maleic anhydride) The same procedure as Synthesis Example 2 was used except that methyl methacrylate was replaced with 34.32 g of maleic anhydride. The yield was 45 %. The polymer had a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of 23,700 and a number average molecular weight (Mn) of 11,900 as measured on GPC using polystyrene standard. The infrared spectrum of the polymer showed peaks at 2278 cm -1 (NCO) and at 1717 and 1707 cm -1 (C=O). The copolymer was found to have about 50 mol % of maleic anhydride units based on the 1 H-NMR spectrum. The polymer was dissolved in cyclohexanone (5 wt % solid content) and stored for further reactions described below. Example 1-1a (Reaction of 1-aminoanthracene with poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl isocyanate) and application as a bottom anti-reflective coating material) To a 200 g (5 wt % solid content, 0.064 mol) solution of poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl isocyanate) in cyclohexanone in Synthesis Example 1, there was added 12.4 g (0.064 mol) of 1-aminoanthracene and the contents were stirred at room temperature for 48 hours. After the completion of the reaction, a small portion of the solution was reprecipitated into n-hexane to characterize the reaction product. The infrared spectrum of the product showed peaks at 3341 cm -1 (N-H), 1715 cm -1 (C=O, ester) and at 1635 cm -1 (C=O, urea) and the complete disappearance of the peak at 2278 cm -1 indicating the complete reaction of isocyanate groups of poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl isocyanate) with 1-aminoanthracene. The remaining portion of the reaction mixture was filtered and evaluated as a BARC material as described in the Application Example 1 using a deep ultraviolet positive-working resist and a deep ultraviolet stepper fitted with 248 nm excimer laser as the radiation source. The BARC film was checked under microscope and was found to be defect free and uniform. The optical constants n and k values of the film were 1.423 and 0.58 at 248 nm respectively (Table 1). Observation of the line and space patterns on a scanning electron microscopy showed that the resist profiles were vertical (88-90°), had a maximum resolution of 0.17 microns and the patterns had no standing waves. A comparative test being exactly the same way but without the BARC layer showed patterns with severe standing waves due to reflection from the silicon substrate and the maximum resolution was only 0.2 microns. The etch rate of BARC layer using oxygen and fluoride gas plasma was measured to be 80 nm/min whereas the resist of this example has a etch rate of 78 nm/min. The step coverage of the BARC material was also checked and compared with the commercially available BARC materials.
