Abstract

A method of processing a substrate, including a step of processing an organic film pattern formed on a substrate, the step including, in sequence, a removal step of removing one of an alterated layer and a deposited layer formed on the organic film pattern, and a fusion/deformation step of fusing the organic film pattern for deformation, wherein at least a part of the removal step is carried out by applying chemical to the organic film pattern.

Claims (23)

1 . A chemical containing amine, used in a method of processing an organic film pattern formed on a substrate, said method including, in sequence:

a removal step of removing one of an alterated layer and a deposited layer formed on said organic film pattern; and

a fusion/deformation step of fusing said organic film pattern for deformation,

wherein at least a part of said removal step is carried out by applying said chemical to said organic film pattern, and

said chemical contains said amine in the range of 0.01 to 10 weight % both inclusive.

2 . The chemical as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said chemical contains said amine in the range of 0.05 to 3 weight % both inclusive.

3 . The chemical as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said chemical contains said amine in the range of 0.05 to 1.5 weight % both inclusive.

4 . The chemical as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said amine is selected from a group consisting of hydroxyl amine, diethylhydroxyl amine, diethylhydroxyl amine anhydride, pyridine, and picoline.

5 . A chemical containing amine, used in a method of processing an organic film pattern formed on a substrate, said method including, in sequence:

a removal step of removing an alterated layer formed on said organic film pattern to expose a non-alterated portion of said organic film pattern; and

a fusion/deformation step of fusing said organic film pattern for deformation, wherein at least a part of said removal step is carried out by applying chemical to said organic film pattern, and

said chemical contains said amine in the range of 0.01 to 10 weight % both inclusive.

6 . The chemical as set forth in claim 5 , wherein said chemical contains said amine in the range of 0.05 to 3 weight % both inclusive.

7 . The chemical as set forth in claim 5 , wherein said chemical contains said amine in the range of 0.05 to 1.5 weight % both inclusive.

8 . The chemical as set forth in claim 5 , wherein said amine is selected from a group consisting of hydroxyl amine, diethylhydroxyl amine, diethylhydroxyl amine anhydride, pyridine, and picoline.

9 . A chemical containing amine, used in a method of processing an organic film pattern formed on a substrate, said method including, in sequence:

a removal step of removing a deposited layer formed on said organic film pattern to expose said organic film pattern; and

a fusion/deformation step of fusing said organic film pattern for deformation,

wherein at least a part of said removal step is carried out by applying chemical to said organic film pattern, and

said chemical contains said amine in the range of 0.01 to 10 weight % both inclusive.

10 . The chemical as set forth in claim 9 , wherein said chemical contains said amine in the range of 0.05 to 3 weight % both inclusive.

11 . The chemical as set forth in claim 9 , wherein said chemical contains said amine in the range of 0.05 to 1.5 weight % both inclusive.

12 . The chemical as set forth in claim 9 , wherein said amine is selected from a group consisting of hydroxyl amine, diethylhydroxyl amine, diethylhydroxyl amine anhydride, pyridine, and picoline.
