개요

Photolithography is the core patterning process in semiconductor fabrication, using light to transfer circuit patterns onto silicon wafers through photoresist chemistry. Modern extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography at 13.5 nm wavelength enables features as small as 3 nm, allowing billions of transistors per chip. The process involves coating wafers with photoresist, exposure through a mask using DUV (193 nm) or EUV light, development, and pattern transfer via etching. Each chip requires 50-100 lithography steps.

화학 공정

A silicon wafer is spin-coated with chemically amplified photoresist (30-200 nm thick). The wafer is soft-baked, then exposed to 193 nm ArF excimer laser or 13.5 nm EUV light through a 4x reduction mask. Post-exposure bake activates the acid-catalyzed deprotection. The resist is developed in TMAH (tetramethylammonium hydroxide) solution, revealing the circuit pattern for subsequent etch or deposition.

Photoacid generator + hv (193 nm or 13.5 nm) → H⁺ (photoacid)
Protected polymer + H⁺ →[PEB, 100 degrees C] Deprotected polymer (soluble in TMAH developer) — acid catalytic amplification cycle

원자재

  • Chemically amplified photoresist — JSR, TOK, Shin-Etsu, Sumitomo specialty chemicals (Photosensitive patterning material)

Environmental Impact

Photolithography uses large quantities of ultra-pure water (UPW) and PGMEA solvent. PFC gases (C₂F₆, CF₄, SF₆) used in subsequent plasma etching are potent greenhouse gases with atmospheric lifetimes of thousands of years. The industry is investing in PFC capture and destruction.
