Description

Etchant composition for integrated circuits
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of etching, and particularly relates to an etchant composition for an integrated circuit.
Background
Since the end of the last century, the rapid development of integrated circuit technology, the integration level of which has increased rapidly, has doubled in a year and half, and it almost follows moore's law. This era created powerful and fast-operating semiconductor integrated circuits, which was one of the curiosities of the twentieth century. A Thin Film Transistor (TFT) for an integrated circuit is a field effect transistor, which is composed of different types of thin films such as a semiconductor active layer, an insulating layer, and a metal electrode. TFTs are mainly classified into amorphous silicon (a-Si: H) TFTs, Low Temperature Polysilicon (LTPS) TFTs, organic TFTs and oxide TFTs according to the kind of semiconductor active layer material, wherein the oxide TFTs have a high mobility of 10-100cm2and/Vs, the stability is good, the electrical uniformity is good, and the method is suitable for manufacturing large-size high-end display panels. One oxide semiconductor device that is currently of great interest is a zinc oxide-based thin film transistor. Zinc oxide-based materials (such as zinc oxide, In-Zn oxides, and In-Zn oxides doped with Ga, Mg, Al, Fe, etc.) have been introduced. The ZnO-based semiconductor device may be manufactured by a low-temperature process and in an amorphous phase, thereby having an advantage of easily increasing its area. In addition, the zinc oxide-based semiconductor film is a material having high mobility and has very favorable electrical properties (e.g., polysilicon). In recent years, studies have been conducted on the use of an oxide semiconductor material layer having high mobility (i.e., a zinc oxide-based material layer in a channel region of a thin film transistor).
The oxide material may be etched by a dry or wet process. Etching is carried out by chemical reaction or physical action to remove the exposed part of the lower material in the developed photoresist pattern, i.e. to copy the photoresist pattern onto the underlying material. The method is divided into dry etching and wet etching according to different etchants, and also can be divided into isotropic etching and anisotropic etching according to different etching rates of crystal faces. Several major factors affecting etch performance are: 1) etching rate: the thickness of the film is measured in candle-carving in unit time, and the production efficiency is greatly influenced; 2) etching uniformity: it includes uniformity within a silicon wafer or between multiple silicon wafers; 3) and (3) selectivity: the ratio of etch rates between different materials; 4) drilling and candle-making: the lateral decay candle under the mask is an important factor influencing the fidelity of the conversion from the photoresist pattern to the bottom material pattern. The wet etching is to decompose the film to be etched on the wafer by using a corresponding etching solution, and then to convert the film into a soluble compound and remove the compound. Of course, the portion that is not to be etched is covered with photoresist before etching because of the ability of the photoresist to resist etching. The wet etching mainly utilizes acid-base solution to react with the film on the wafer, so we can usually make corresponding selection and concentration matching to the chemical reagent and keep the etching solution at a specific temperature, etc. to achieve a specific etching selection ratio and a required etching speed. Wet etching is highly efficient and less contaminating to the chip and is widely used in semiconductor manufacturing, but wet etching also has disadvantages in that wet etching is isotropic and unwanted excess etching occurs in lateral areas on the wafer when it etches the desired pattern onto the wafer. Thus, the desired device may differ from the ideal device in shape, and the line width of the device may also differ from the ideal.
The chemical etching method of the oxide material which is disclosed at present mainly focuses on the use of various acid or alkali solutions, and the oxide device process is not mature, and the main reason is that the micro-processing process of the oxide-based transparent conductive film material is not solved. As known, Al, Ga, Zn and In-based oxide is an amphoteric oxide, and has the disadvantages of excessively strong reaction to acid and alkali, severe lateral corrosion, high etching rate and difficult control. For example, the lateral etching problem In the wet etching of the zinc oxide-based thin film is the bottleneck of the popularization and application of the Al, Ga, Zn and In-based oxide thin film. The chinese invention patent CN 103980905B provides an etching solution for an oxide material system, which comprises an oxide etching solution, a conditioner for adjusting consistency and water; the etching solution can be generally applicable to etching of Sn, Zn, Al, Ga, In base and alloy oxide thin film materials thereof, especially etching of ZnO, AZO, GZO, IGZO, IZO and other oxide materials, and can also be widely used for etching of oxide materials In preparation of fine electronic components, such as semiconductor photoelectric devices, solar cells, TFT thin film transistors, semiconductor integrated circuits, transparent electrodes and the like; compared with the traditional etching solution, the etching solution has the effects of inhibiting side etching, preventing uneven etching and preventing etching residues.

evaluation of etching Performance
Substrates were manufactured by laminating a metal oxide layer (Ga-Zn-O layer or Ga-In-Zn-O layer) on a glass plate, and patterning the metal oxide layer with photoresist In a desired form, and the substrates were cut into samples having dimensions of 550mm × 650mm, respectively, with a diamond knife.
The prepared etchant composition was placed in a test instrument in an injection etching mode (etcher (TFT), SEMES corporation) and heated to a preset temperature of 30 ℃. Then, after the temperature reached 30 ℃ ± 0.1 ℃, an etching process was performed using the etchant compositions of example 1, example 2, example 3, example 4, example 5, comparative example 1, comparative example 2, comparative example 3, and comparative example 4. The etch was 60% performed during the total etch time referenced to the EPD (end point detector) time. Each sample was introduced into the testing instrument and injection was then initiated. After etching was complete, the treated sample was removed from the instrument, rinsed with deionized water, dried using a hot air blower, and then the photoresist was removed from the dried sample using a photoresist stripper. After cleaning and drying, the sample was evaluated for etching performance including change in side etching loss (critical dimension (CD) bias), taper angle, absence of metal oxide layer, and the like, using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) (S-4700, HITACHI corporation).
< criteria for evaluation >
Very good: excellent (CD deflection is less than or equal to 1 μm, cone angle is 40-60 degree);
o: good (1 μm < CD skew ≦ 1.5 μm, cone angle 30-60 °);
and (delta): good (1.5 μm < CD skew. ltoreq.2 μm, cone angle: 30 DEG to 60 DEG).
X: defects (absence of oxide layer or presence of residue). The results are shown in Table 1.
