Description

201212148 六、發明說明: 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明,係有關於:使用.於表面上被形成有轉印圖案 之模版來在基板上形成特定的光阻圖案之壓印系統、使用 有該壓印系統之壓印方法、程式及電腦記憶媒體。 【先前技術】 例如在半導體裝置之製造工程中,例如係對於半導體 晶圓(以下,稱作「晶圓」)進行光微影處理,並進行有 在晶圓上形成特定的光阻圖案之工程。而後,將此光阻圖 案作爲遮罩,而進行對於晶圓上之被處理膜的蝕刻處理, 之後,進行光阻膜之除去處理等,而形成特定之被處理膜 的圖案。 在形成上述之光阻圖案時,爲了謀求半導體裝置之更 進一步的高積體化,係對於該光阻圖案之細微化有所要求 。一般而言,光微影處理中之細微化的極限,係爲在曝光 處理中所使用之光的波長左右》因此,從先前技術起,將 曝光處理之光短波長化的硏究係日益進行。然而,曝光光 源之短波長化,在技術性以及成本性上係有所極限,若是 僅藉由增進光之短波長化的方法,則係有著例如在形成數 奈米尺度之細微的光阻圖案時會有所困難的情況。 因此,近年來,代替在晶圓上進行光微影處理,係提 案有使用所謂的被稱作壓印之方法來在晶圓上形成細微之 光阻圖案的手段。此方法,係使於表面上具有細微之圖案 201212148 的模版(亦有被稱作模體或者是模具的情況)壓著在被形 成於晶圓之上的光阻膜之表面,之後將其剝離,而在該光 阻膜之表面上直接進行圖案之轉印(專利文獻1)。 (先前技術文獻〕 〔專利文獻〕 〔專利文獻1〕日本特開2009-43 998號公報 【發明內容】 〔發明所欲解決之課題〕 然而,在現狀上,要在模版之表面形成特定之細微圖 案一事,在技術性上係爲困難。亦即是,要在模版上形成 具備有局縱橫比之深溝的圖案一事,係爲困難。若是使用 該種模版來進行上述之壓印處理,則在晶圓上係被形成有 膜厚爲薄之光阻圖案。於此情況,當之後進行晶圓上之被 處理膜的蝕刻處理時,光阻圖案係無法發揮充分的耐蝕刻 性能,而無法適當地形成被處理膜之圖案。 因此’可以考慮有:在進行上述之壓印處理前,預先 在晶圓之被處理膜上形成其他之光阻膜。於此種情況,係 將藉由進行壓印處理一事所形成的光阻圖案作爲遮罩,來 對於其他之光阻膜進行蝕刻處理,而形成其他的光阻圖案 。如此一來’此孽之2個的光阻圖案係成爲一體,並發揮 充分的耐蝕刻性能’而能夠適當地形成被處理膜之圖案。 然而,在其他之光阻膜的形成處理和壓印處理中,於 每一枚之晶圓處所需要的處理時間係爲相異。其他之光阻 -4- 201212148 膜,例如係藉由在晶圓上塗布塗布液,而後對該塗布液進 行燒成,而形成之。於此情況,在一枚之晶圓處所需要的 處理時間係爲短,在現狀之裝置中,例如係能夠在每小時 而對於200枚之晶圓來進行其他之光阻膜的形成處理。另 一方面,在壓印處理中,係在晶圓上形成光阻膜,之後進 行複數次(例如1 00次)之對於該光阻膜的模版之圖案轉 印。因此,在一枚晶圓處所需要的處理時間係爲長,在現 狀之裝置中,例如每小時對於20枚之晶圓進行壓印處理一 事,係爲極限。 若是連續性進行此種處理時間互爲相異之2個的處理 ,則在進行壓印處理的期間中,係不得不將其他之光阻膜 的形成處理停止。故而,要對於複數之晶圓而將特定的光 阻圖案連續性地以良好效率來形成一事,在現實上係爲困 難,而無法與半導體裝置之量產化作對應。 本發明,係爲有鑑於上述之點所進行者,其目的,係 在於使用模版來在基板上將特定的光阻圖案適當地且有效 率地來形成。 〔用以解決課題之手段〕 爲了達成上述目的,本發明,係爲一種壓印系統,係 爲使用在表面上被形成有轉印圖案之模版,來在基板上形

鑑於此種情況,較理想,係在第2光阻膜R2之形成前,預 先進行將第2光阻膜R2之對於晶圓W側的密著性、定著性 提昇的處理。 例如,當第2光阻膜R2之材料爲例如UV硬化性樹脂的 情況時,較理想,係在第1光阻膜R,之表面上,預先塗布 並成膜使其與該UV硬化性樹脂間的密著性提昇的矽烷耦 合劑等之密著劑。此種塗布處理,若是對於圖11之流程而 言,則例如若是在將第1光阻液作了燒成後(工程A4之後

又’當如此這般地在第1光阻膜L之表面上成膜密著 劑時,亦可並非使用前述之塗布單元30—般的將液體作塗 •27- 201212148 布之裝置,而設爲將密著劑之蒸氣供給至晶圓W表面並進 行成膜。 圖1 6,係對於此時所使用之作爲密著劑的塗布單元之 成膜單元250的構成作槪略展示。此成膜單元250,例如係 代替塗布單元30〜33之一部分,而被搭載在基板處理站3 處。

Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention pertains] The present invention relates to: use. An embossing system in which a stencil of a transfer pattern is formed on a surface to form a specific photoresist pattern on a substrate, an embossing method using the embossing system, a program, and a computer memory medium. [Prior Art] For example, in the manufacturing process of a semiconductor device, for example, a photolithography process is performed on a semiconductor wafer (hereinafter referred to as a "wafer"), and a process of forming a specific photoresist pattern on the wafer is performed. . Then, this photoresist pattern is used as a mask to perform etching treatment on the film to be processed on the wafer, and then a photoresist film removal process or the like is performed to form a pattern of a specific film to be processed. When the above-described photoresist pattern is formed, in order to further increase the integration of the semiconductor device, it is required to miniaturize the photoresist pattern. In general, the limit of the miniaturization in the photolithography process is about the wavelength of the light used in the exposure process. Therefore, from the prior art, the research on the short-wavelength of the exposure process light is increasingly carried out. . However, the short wavelength of the exposure light source is limited in terms of technicality and cost. If the method of increasing the short wavelength of light is used, there is a fine resist pattern such as in the formation of a nanometer scale. There will be difficulties in the situation. Therefore, in recent years, instead of performing photolithography on a wafer, there has been proposed a method of forming a fine photoresist pattern on a wafer using a so-called method called imprinting. In this method, a stencil having a fine pattern 201212148 on the surface (also referred to as a phantom or a mold) is pressed against the surface of the photoresist film formed on the wafer, and then peeled off. On the surface of the photoresist film, transfer of the pattern is directly performed (Patent Document 1). (Prior Art Document) [Patent Document 1] [Patent Document 1] JP-A-2009-43 998 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the current situation, specific nuances are formed on the surface of the stencil. The pattern is technically difficult. That is, it is difficult to form a pattern having a deep groove with a local aspect ratio on the stencil. If the stencil is used to perform the above embossing, A photoresist pattern having a thin film thickness is formed on the wafer. In this case, when the etching process of the film to be processed on the wafer is performed later, the photoresist pattern cannot exhibit sufficient etching resistance and cannot be appropriately formed. The pattern of the film to be treated. Therefore, it is considered that: before performing the above-described imprint process, another photoresist film is formed on the film to be processed in advance on the wafer. In this case, the imprint process is performed. The photoresist pattern formed by the thing is used as a mask to etch other photoresist films to form other photoresist patterns. Thus, the two photoresist patterns of the 孽It is integrated and exhibits sufficient etching resistance', and the pattern of the film to be processed can be appropriately formed. However, in the formation process and imprint process of other photoresist films, the processing required at each wafer is required. The time is different. Other photoresists 04 201212148 are formed by, for example, applying a coating liquid onto a wafer and then firing the coating liquid. In this case, a crystal is formed. The processing time required for the circle is short. In the current device, for example, it is possible to perform other photoresist film formation processes on 200 wafers per hour. On the other hand, in the imprint process, Forming a photoresist film on the wafer, and then performing pattern transfer on the stencil of the photoresist film a plurality of times (for example, 100 times). Therefore, the processing time required at one wafer is long, In the current state of the art, for example, the imprinting process for 20 wafers per hour is the limit. If the processing is performed in such a manner that the processing time is different from each other in continuity, the imprinting process is performed. Medium It is necessary to stop the formation process of other photoresist films. Therefore, it is difficult to form a specific photoresist pattern continuously with good efficiency for a plurality of wafers, and it is difficult to be combined with a semiconductor device.

From the light source 173, light such as visible light, near-ultraviolet light, or ultraviolet light is emitted, and light from the light source 173 is irradiated to the lower side through the stencil 》. Further, in the embossing unit 60, it is set. There is a wafer transfer mechanism (not shown) that transfers the wafer W between the transfer unit 61 and a stencil transfer mechanism (not shown) that transports the stencil between the transfer unit 82 and the transfer unit 82. Further, the stencil conveying mechanism is configured to be rotatable so as to reverse the front and back surfaces of the stencil. In the above imprint system 1, a control unit 200 is generally provided as shown in Fig. 1. The control unit 200 is, for example, a computer, and includes a programmable storage unit (not shown). In the program storage unit, a program for performing wafer processing, imprint processing, and the like in the imprint system 1 is stored. Another -18- 201212148 outside the program, for example, can be recorded on a computer-readable hard disk (HD), floppy disk (FD), compact disc (CD), optical disk (MO), memory card, etc. The computer readable memory medium is installed in the control unit 200 from the memory. The imprint system 1 of the present embodiment is generally constructed as described above. Next, it is carried out by the imprinting system 1. Wafer processing, imprint processing, etc. are described. Figure 1 shows the main processing flow for this wafer processing and imprinting process. Figure 12 shows the state of wafer W and template T in each project. First, the template is moved in and out. At 5 places, the stencil T is taken out from the stencil cassette CT on the cassette mounting table 80 via the stencil conveying body 81, and conveyed to the transfer unit 82. Further, the stencil T in the stencil cassette CT is placed so that the surface T on which the transfer pattern C is formed is placed upward, and then the stencil T is passed through the stencil conveying mechanism in the embossing unit 60. The conveyance is carried into the imprint unit 60 (the project A1 of Fig. 11). At this time, the back surface of the stencil T is reversed via the stencil conveying mechanism. That is, the back surface T2 of the stencil T is directed upward. The stencil T carried into the embossing unit 60 is adsorbed and held at the chuck 171 of the stencil holder 170. Further, in the present embodiment, the stencils are transported to the embossing units 60, and the plurality of stencils are continuously transported to the embossing processing station 4 from the plurality of stencil loading/unloading stations 5. In this manner, in the transfer of the stencil to the embossing unit 60 from the stencil loading/unloading station 5, the wafer loading/unloading station 2 is transported by the wafer -19-201212 148 body 12, and the stencil is loaded from the cassette. The stencil cassette Cw on the stage 10 is taken out and transferred to the transfer unit 21 of the wafer processing station 3 (Project A2 of Fig. 11). Further, the wafer W in the wafer cassette Cw is housed so that the surface to be processed faces upward. Thereafter, the wafer W is transported to the photoresist coating unit 30 via the transport unit 20, and delivered to the spin chuck 110. Next, the photoresist liquid nozzle 122 is moved straight up over the center portion of the wafer W, and the wafer W is rotated. Then, the first photoresist liquid is supplied onto the rotating wafer W, and the first photoresist liquid is diffused on the wafer W by centrifugal force, and the first photoresist liquid is coated on the surface of the wafer W. Overall (Project A3 in Figure 11). Thereafter, the wafer W is transported to the heating unit 42 via the transport unit 20. The wafer W carried into the heating unit 42 is delivered to the lift pin 132 and placed on the mounting table 131. Next, the lid 140 is closed, and the wafer W is heated to, for example, 20 (TC) via the hot plate 135. After a certain period of time, the first photoresist liquid on the wafer W is fired, as shown in FIG. As shown in (a), in general, the first photoresist film t is formed on the wafer W (Fig. A4). The first photoresist film R: is formed, for example, as a film of 1 Onm. After that, the wafer W is transported to the temperature adjustment unit 40 via the transport unit 20, and the wafer W is adjusted to a specific temperature (for example, normal temperature), and then the wafer W is transferred via the transport unit 20. Transfer to the transfer unit 22. Then, the wafer W is transported to the imprint processing station 4 via the wafer transfer unit 70. Here, the above-mentioned projects A2 to A4 are repeatedly performed, and -20-201212148 is in plural The first photoresist film R! is formed on the wafer W, and the plurality of wafers W are continuously transferred to the imprint processing station 4. At this time, before the wafer W is transported to the imprint processing station 4 The wafer W on which the first photoresist film R! is formed may be temporarily stored in the buffer cassette 23. Thereafter, the wafer transfer unit 70 is used. The wafer W is transported to the transfer unit 61. Then, the wafer W is transported to the imprint unit 60 via the wafer transfer mechanism in the imprint unit 60 (item A5 of Fig. 11). The wafer W of 60 is delivered to the lift pin 15 2 and held on the wafer holding portion 151. Then, the wafer W held on the wafer holding portion 151 is moved. Positioning is performed at a specific position in the horizontal direction, and thereafter, the photoresist liquid nozzle 1 62 is moved in the diameter direction of the wafer W, and the second wafer is generally coated on the wafer W as shown in FIG. 12(b). The photoresist is formed to form the second photoresist film R2 (Project A6 in Fig. 12). At this time, the timing of supplying the second photoresist from the photoresist nozzle 162 is controlled by the control unit 200. Or a supply amount or the like is controlled, that is, at a photoresist pattern formed on the wafer W, to be applied to a portion corresponding to the convex portion (the concave portion corresponding to the transfer pattern C of the stencil T) The amount of the second photoresist liquid on the part is large, and is applied to the portion corresponding to the concave portion (the transfer pattern C is opposite to the convex portion) In this case, the amount of the second photoresist liquid is controlled in a small amount. Thus, the second photoresist is coated on the wafer W in response to the aperture ratio of the transfer pattern C. In addition, the second photoresist film R2 is formed to have a film thickness of, for example, 50 nm. If the second photoresist film R2 is formed on the wafer W, it is held on the wafer holding portion 151. The wafer W is moved to the position of the specific direction - 21, 2012, 148 in the horizontal direction, and the alignment is performed, and the template 保持 which is held at the stencil holding portion 1 7 Τ is rotated to a specific direction. Then, as shown in Fig. 12 (b) The arrow shown generally 'drops the stencil 至 to the W side of the wafer. The stencil system has been lowered to a specific position, and the surface of the stencil is smashed! ^ is pressed onto the second photoresist film R 2 on the wafer W. Further, this specific position is set in accordance with the height of the photoresist pattern formed on the wafer W. Then, light is irradiated from the light source 173. The light from the light source 147 is generally transmitted through the stencil to the second photoresist film 112 on the wafer W as shown in FIG. 12 (c), whereby the second photoresist Film R2 is photo-coincident. In this manner, the transfer pattern C of the stencil T is transferred to the second photoresist film R2 on the wafer W, and the photoresist pattern P is formed (the construction A7 of Fig. 11). Thereafter, as shown in Fig. 12 (d), the stencil T is raised, and a photoresist pattern P is formed on the wafer W. At this time, since the release agent S is applied to the surface m of the stencil T, there is no possibility that the photoresist on the wafer W adheres to the surface Ti of the stencil T. Thereafter, the wafer W is delivered to the wafer transfer mechanism via the lift pin 152, and is carried out from the imprint unit 60 and transported to the transfer unit 61 (item A8 of Fig. 11). Thereafter, the wafer W is transferred to the wafer processing station 3 via the wafer transfer unit 70, and then returned to the wafer cassette Cw via the wafer transfer body 12. Further, in the concave portion of the photoresist pattern P formed on the wafer W, there is a case where the residual film L of the thin photoresist remains, but 'for example, it may be external to the imprint system 1' as shown in the figure. The residual film L is generally removed as shown in 1 2 (e). Further, the above-described processes A5 to A8' use one stencil Τ' and -22-201212148 form a photoresist pattern P on each of the plurality of wafers w. Thereafter, if the works A5 to A8 are performed for the wafer W of a specific number, the template T is exchanged. That is, after the front and back surfaces of the stencil T are reversed via the stencil conveying mechanism, the stencil T is carried out from the embossing unit 60 and transported to the transfer unit 82 (Project A9 of Fig. 11). . Thereafter, the stencil T is sent back to the stencil cassette CT via the stencil conveyance body 81. Further, the timing at which the template T is exchanged is set in consideration of deterioration of the template T or the like. Further, when a different pattern P is formed at the wafer W, the stencil T is also exchanged. For example, it may be set to exchange the stencil τ every time the stencil T is used once. Further, for example, the stencils T may be exchanged for each wafer W, and for example, the stencils T may be exchanged for each batch. In this manner, in the imprint system 1, the specific resist pattern P is continuously formed for the plurality of wafers w while continuously exchanging the templates T. According to the above embodiment, in the imprint system 1, the photoresists of the first photoresist film I and the second photoresist film R2 are formed on the wafer W as shown generally in FIG. 12(e). Pattern P. Thereafter, at the etching processing unit (not shown) outside the imprint system 1, the photoresist pattern P of the second photoresist film R2 is used as a mask, and the first photoresist film 1 is etched to form light. Resistance pattern. As a result, the photoresist pattern of the first photoresist film and the photoresist pattern P of the second photoresist film R2 are integrated, and a sufficient etching resistance function is exhibited. Therefore, it is possible to appropriately etch the film to be processed on the wafer W and appropriately form the pattern of the film to be processed. Further, according to the above-described embodiment, a plurality of imprinting units 60 are disposed in the imprint processing station 4 for one wafer processing station 3. Therefore, the first photoresist film I can be formed on the plurality of wafers W by the wafer processing station 3, and the plurality of crystals in which the first photoresist film h is formed can be formed from the wafer processing station 3. The circle W is continuously conveyed to the imprint processing station 4. Further, since the stencil loading/unloading station 5 is connected to each of the embossing units 60, it is possible to continuously transport the plurality of stencils T to the embossing processing station 4 from the stencil loading/unloading station 5, and then The imprint processing station 4 is capable of performing imprint processing for each wafer W in parallel at each imprint unit 60 using each of the stencils T. Therefore, even when the processing time at the substrate processing station 3 and the processing time at the imprinting unit 60 are different, it is possible to continue without stopping the wafer processing at the substrate processing station 3. The wafer W is properly processed. Therefore, it is possible to form a specific photoresist pattern P on the wafer W appropriately and efficiently. Further, as a result, mass production of the semiconductor device can be achieved. Further, at the wafer processing station 3, the first photoresist liquid is applied onto the wafer W at the photoresist coating unit 30, and then the first photoresist liquid on the wafer W is placed at the heating unit 42. Made to burn. Therefore, it is possible to form the first photoresist film R on the wafer W as appropriate. In the imprint system 1 of the above-described embodiment, a plurality of stencils are placed in and out of each embossing unit 60. Station 5, however, as shown in Figs. 13 to 15, a single stencil loading/unloading station 300 may be provided. The stencil is moved into and out of the station 300 and is connected to the imprint processing station 4. The wafer loading/unloading station 2, the wafer processing station 3, the imprint processing station 4, the -24-201212148 template loading/unloading station 300 are arranged side by side in the Y direction (the horizontal direction of Fig. 13) in this order. . At the die loading/unloading station 300, a cassette mounting table 310 is provided. The cassette mounting table 310 is capable of freely placing a plurality of stencil cassettes Ct in a row in the X direction (upward and downward directions in FIG. 1). In other words, the template is moved into and out of the station 300, and is configured to hold a plurality of templates T. At the stencil loading/unloading station 300, a wafer transporting body 312 that can move on the transport path 311 extending in the X direction is provided. The stencil transfer body 312 is freely expandable and contractible in the horizontal direction, and is also freely movable in the vertical direction and the vertical direction (0 direction), and can be used in the wafer cassette CT and the transfer unit 320 or the buffer cassette described later. The template T is transferred between 321 . At the stencil loading/unloading station 300, a transfer unit 320 for performing the transfer of the stencil T between itself and the imprint processing station 4, and a buffer card 321 for temporarily storing the stencil T are disposed. . In addition, the buffer cassette 321 may be omitted as needed. Further, in the transfer area E3 of the imprint processing station 4, in addition to the wafer transfer unit 70, a stencil transfer unit 3 30 that holds the stencil T and transports it is provided. The wafer transfer unit 70 and the stencil transfer unit 303 are arranged so as not to interfere with each other. The stencil conveyance unit 330 is provided with, for example, a transfer arm that is freely expandable and contractible in the horizontal direction and freely movable in the vertical direction and the vertical periphery (0 direction). The stencil transfer unit 330 moves in the transfer area E3, and can transfer the modulo-25-201212148 version τ between the stencil loading/unloading station 300 and the transfer unit 61. In addition, the other components of the imprint system 1 are Since the configuration of the imprint system 1 of the above embodiment is the same, the description thereof is omitted. In this case, when the stencil is conveyed to the embossing unit 60 from the stencil loading/unloading station 300, first, at the stencil loading/unloading station 300, the stencil is carried from the cassette via the stencil conveying body 312. The stencil cassette CT on the table 310 is taken out and transported to the transfer unit 32. Thereafter, the stencil T is transported to the transfer unit 61 via the stencil transfer unit 330. Next, the stencil T is conveyed to the embossing unit 60 via the stencil conveying mechanism in the embossing unit 60 (the construction A1 of Fig. 11). Further, from the stencil loading/unloading station 300 to the imprint processing station 4, a plurality of stencils T are continuously transported. In addition, since the other processes of the wafer processing and the imprint process in the imprint system 1 are the same as those of the above-mentioned items A2 to A9, the description thereof will be omitted, and according to the present embodiment, Since the stencil is carried in and out of the station 3 to carry out the loading and unloading of the stencil T, the apparatus configuration of the embossing system 1 can be simplified, and the area occupied by the embossing system 1 can be reduced. Therefore, the manufacturing cost of the imprint system 1 can be reduced. Further, for example, a plurality of stencils T accommodated in one stencil CT can be carried into the embossing unit 60, or a stencil which can be carried out from the embossing unit 60 which is different from each other. T is housed in one stencil cassette CT. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the degree of freedom in transporting and imprinting the stencil T in the imprint system 1 can be increased. -26-201212148 In the above-described embodiment, as in the flow of FIG. In general, after the first photoresist film R is formed on the wafer w, the wafer W is transferred to the imprint processing station 4, and then the second photoresist film R2 is formed. However, when the stencil T is brought into contact with the second photoresist film R2 and the transfer pattern C is transferred, even if the release agent S is formed on the surface of the stencil T, it is impossible to deny that there will still be a second The possibility that the photoresist film R2 adheres to the side of the stencil T. In view of the above, it is preferable to perform the process of improving the adhesion and the fixability of the second resist film R2 to the wafer W side before the formation of the second photoresist film R2. For example, when the material of the second photoresist film R2 is, for example, a UV curable resin, it is preferably applied to the surface of the first photoresist film R and formed into a film to be bonded to the UV curable resin. A sealant such as a decane coupling agent which is improved in adhesion. Such a coating treatment is preferably carried out, for example, after the first photoresist liquid is fired (after the work A4). In the case of applying such a pressure-sensitive adhesive, it is possible to use the same coating units 30 to 33 as shown in FIG. 6 when the coating of the first photoresist liquid for forming the first photoresist film I is performed. A coating device constructed. On the other hand, after the adhesive is applied in this manner, the wafer W is heated as necessary, and further cooled as necessary, and then carried into the imprinting unit 60 after "after" and FIG. The process shown in the above is the same, and the formation process of the second photoresist film R2 (engineering A6) may be performed. Further, when the adhesive is formed on the surface of the first photoresist film L as described above, it is also possible to use a coating apparatus for coating liquids other than the coating unit 30 described above. The vapor of the adhesive is supplied to the surface of the wafer W to form a film. Fig. 16 is a schematic view showing the constitution of the film forming unit 250 of the coating unit used as the adhesive at this time. This film forming unit 250 is mounted on the substrate processing station 3, for example, instead of one of the coating units 30 to 33. As shown in Fig. 16, the film forming unit 250 is provided with a mounting table 260 on which the wafer W is placed, and a lid 261 provided above the mounting table 260. The lid body 261 is configured to be freely movable in the vertical direction by, for example, a lifting mechanism (not shown). Further, the lower surface of the lid body 261 is open. Then, the lid body 261 and the mounting table 260 are integrated, and the sealed processing space K can be formed. At the mounting table 260, the wafer W is placed such that the surface of the wafer W (for example, the surface on which the first photoresist film Ri is formed) faces upward. On the upper surface of the mounting table 260, a temperature control board 270 for controlling the temperature of the wafer W is provided, and a temperature control board 270 is provided, for example, a Peltier element or the like is incorporated therein, and the wafer W can be adjusted to a specific The temperature. In the mounting table 260, a lift pin 271 for supporting and lifting the wafer W from below is provided. The lift pin 271 can be moved up and down by the lift drive unit 72. On the upper surface of the mounting table 260, a through hole 273 through which the upper surface penetrates in the thickness direction is formed, and the lift pin 271 is inserted into the through hole 273. Further, a gas supply pipe 290 for supplying steam and water vapor of the adhesive to the wafer W is provided on the top surface of the lid 261. In the gas -28-201212148, the supply pipe 290 is connected to the adhesive supply source 291 for supplying the vapor of the adhesive, and the water vapor supply source 292 for supplying the steam. Further, the gas supply pipe 290 is provided with a supply device group 293 including steam and a slave steam supply source for the adhesive supplied from the adhesive supply source 291. The valve for controlling the flow operation of the supplied water vapor is a flow rate adjusting unit or the like. The adhesive supply source 291 is internally stored with a liquid-like adhesive. Further, at the adhesive supply source 29 1 , a gas supply pipe (not shown) that supplies nitrogen gas into the adhesive supply source 29 1 is connected. In the adhesive supply source 29 1 , the liquid-like adhesive is vaporized by supplying nitrogen gas to the inside, and a vapor of the adhesive is generated. The vapor of the adhesive agent is supplied to the gas supply pipe 290 by using the nitrogen gas as a carrier gas. The water vapor supply source 292 is, for example, stored therein with water, and then, for example, the water is heated and vaporized to generate water vapor. On the side of the lid body 261, an exhaust pipe 294 for exhausting the atmosphere of the processing space is connected. At the exhaust pipe 294, an exhaust pump 295 for evacuating the atmosphere of the process space is connected. In order to form a film on the surface of the first photoresist film R! using the film forming unit 250 having such a configuration, for example, after the process 4 shown in FIG. 11, the wafer W is transferred. To the coating unit 250. The wafer W that has been transported is delivered to the lift pin 271 and placed on the mounting table 260. At this time, the wafer W on the mounting table 260 is temperature-controlled to a specific temperature (for example, 50 ° C) via the temperature control plate 270. Then, the lid body 261 is lowered -29-201212148, and the sealed processing space K is formed by the lid body 261 and the mounting table 260, and then the vapor of the adhesive is supplied from the gas supply tube 290 to the processing. Space K. The vapor of the supplied sealant is deposited on the surface of the wafer W. Thereafter, water vapor is supplied from the gas supply pipe 290 to the processing space K, and the water vapor is supplied to the adhesive deposited on the wafer w. When water vapor is supplied, the molecular layer of the adhesive deposited on the wafer W is hydrolyzed, and the adhesive molecules are bonded to the surface of the wafer W by dehydration condensation. Thereby, the first photoresist film R! formed on the wafer W and the second photoresist film R2 formed thereon are improved in adhesion therebetween. Further, after the adhesive is formed on the wafer W, the atmosphere of the processing space K may be replaced with an inert gas, for example, replaced with nitrogen. According to the method of supplying the adhesive vapor to form the film on the wafer W, it is not necessary to perform the cleaning even when the film is formed by the application of the liquid adhesive. It is able to form a film more uniformly. Further, in the above example, the wafer W on the mounting table 260 is temperature-adjusted to a specific temperature (for example, 50 ° C) via the temperature control plate 270. However, it is not always necessary to adjust the wafer W temperature to Such a temperature which is higher than normal temperature and higher temperature can be directly formed at a normal temperature (for example, 2 (TC to 25 ° C). Further, in the above example, the water vapor is actively supplied. Promote the decomposition of water, but even if it is not so active in the supply of water vapor, the water in the surrounding atmosphere will also be hydrolyzed, and the actual combination of dehydration condensation is described in -30-201212148. Further, in the application of the first photoresist film, the vapor of the photoresist may be supplied onto the wafer W, and the first photoresist film Ri may be formed on the wafer W. The first photoresist film R! is preferably provided with an effect of improving the adhesion as described above.
