A kind of cleaning fluid of the removal photoresistance etch residues of low etching
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of cleaning fluid for removing photoresistance etch residues.
Background technology
In semiconductor components and devices manufacturing process, coating, exposure and the imaging of photoresist layer manufacture to the pattern of component
Say it is necessary processing step.In the last of patterning(Coating i.e. in photoresist layer, after being imaged, be ion implanted and etching)Enter
Before the next processing step of row, the residue of photoresistance layer material need to be removed thoroughly.Can hardening light in doping step intermediate ion bombardment
Resistance layer polymer, hence in so that photoresist layer becomes to not readily dissolve so as to be more difficult to remove.So far in the semiconductor manufacturing industry one
As use two-step method(Dry ashing and wet etching)Remove this layer of photoresistance tunic.The first step removes photoresist layer using dry ashing
(PR)Major part;Second step is removed using composite corrosion inhibitor wet etching/cleaning and washes remaining photoresist layer, its
Step is generally cleaning fluid cleaning/rinsing/drying.The polymer light resistance layer of residual and inorganic can only be removed in this process
Thing, and infringement metal level such as aluminium lamination can not be attacked.
In current wet clean process, cleaning fluid with the most use is the cleaning fluid containing azanol class and fluorinated,
The Exemplary patents of azanol based cleaning liquid have US6319885, US5672577, US6030932, US6825156 and US5419779 etc..
By updating, the corrosion rate of metallic aluminium has been greatly reduced in itself for its solution, but the based cleaning liquid is due to using hydroxyl
Amine, and the problems such as single source, explosive be present in azanol.And although existing fluorides cleaning fluid has larger improvement,
Such as US5,972,862, US 6,828,289 etc., but still the corruption that can not control metal and non-metallic substrate simultaneously well be present
Erosion, easily causes the change of channel characteristics size after cleaning;On the other hand due to wet clean equipment in some Semiconductor enterprises
Be made up of quartz, and fluorine-containing cleaning fluid has corrosion to quartz and corrodes with the rise of temperature aggravation, thus presence with it is existing
The problem of quartzy equipment is incompatible and influence it and widely use.
Although the cleaning fluid of azanol class and fluorinated is relatively applied successfully to semi-conductor industry, due to
Its respective limitation and shortcoming, industry still have developed the cleaning fluid of the 3rd class, this based cleaning liquid neither containing azanol nor
Contain fluoride.As US5988186 is disclosed containing solvent, hydramine, water and nutgall acids and its cleaning fluid of esters, both solved
Determined azanol source is single and safety and environmental protection in terms of the problem of, it is unstable to solve the nonmetallic corrosion rate of fluorine-containing based cleaning liquid again
The problem of determining.But this based cleaning liquid often exists very in use due to both not containing azanol or not containing fluoride
Big limitation.Although therefore disclosing some cleaning liquid compositions, but need and more need to prepare recently to adapt to
The wider array of based cleaning liquid in face.
