Resist pattern forming method using anti-reflective layer, resist pattern formed, and method of etching using resist pattern and product formed

摘要

Disclosed are methods for forming a resist pattern which solve a problem caused by halation and interference phenomena due to reflected light from the substrate. A first method forms between the substrate and resist film an anti-reflective film whose photoabsorbance of the exposure light is greater on the substrate surface side than on the resist surface side. A second method forms between the substrate and resist film a two-layer anti-reflective film made up of an upper interference film for the exposure light and a lower film having higher exposure light absorbance than the upper film and functions as a light shielding film. A third method forms between the substrate and resist film a two-layer anti-reflective film consisting of a lower film that reflects exposure light and an upper film that is an interference film for the exposure light.
