As the typical example of positive type resist, can enumerate with naphthoquinone two azide class emulsion and alkali soluble resins (novolac resin) is the resist of major component.
Xeroxing the terminal stage of operation, an operation that resist is peeled off from the substrate fully must arranged.
In the resist stripping technology of semiconductor or crystal liquid substrate, can and use the wet type stripping process of anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling to merge use the dry-type ashing process that uses oxygen plasma.
This is because the substrate through the dry-type ashing process that uses oxygen plasma is handled has generated Si oxide and aluminum oxide on its surface, use the wet type stripping process then, not only can peel off resist, and can remove these metal oxides fully, so these measures are necessary.
Open in the flat 7-235487 communique the spy and to have put down in writing a kind of corrosion inhibitor stripping liquid control device, this control device has one and is used for measuring the concentration of the resist that anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling dissolves and the anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling discharger that anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling is discharged by extinction photometer; One is used for measuring the liquid level of anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling and supply organic solvent and alkanolamine or peeled off first device for supplying of new liquid by organic solvent and the deployed in advance resist of alkanolamine in view of the above by liquid level gauge; One is used for measuring the concentration of resist alkanolamine and the second at least a device for supplying in supply organic solvent and the alkanolamine in view of the above by extinction photometer.
In addition, the applicant has also developed a kind of corrosion inhibitor stripping liquid control device, and this control device has: one is used for measuring the concentration of the resist that anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling dissolves and the anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling discharger that anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling is discharged by extinction photometer; One be used for by liquid level gauge measure the liquid level of anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling and in view of the above the supply resist peel off stoste and pure water or peel off first device for supplying that stoste and the deployed in advance resist of pure water are peeled off new liquid by resist; One be used for by extinction photometer measure the moisture concentration of anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling and in view of the above the supply resist peel off the second at least a device for supplying of stoste and pure water.And with this control device application patent (special be willing to flat 8-193005 number).
In the resist stripping technology of semiconductor or crystal liquid substrate, as mentioned above, as anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling, mainly be to use the solution that combines by organic base and organic solvent, in addition, the solution that is added with suitable quantity of water also can use, but finds out that the solution that is added with an amount of azanol has better effect.
That is to say, the effect that anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling had that contains an amount of azanol is, can be reduced to about 65 ℃ below from required about 80 ℃ of past the treatment temperature of substrate, for example about 40 ℃, so just can when forming substrate or semiconductor circuits, reduce infringement, can remove Si oxide and aluminum oxide simultaneously underlying metal.
For example, the solution of can use the solution formed by dimethyl sulfoxide class and azanol by spray pattern, box-packed mode or impregnation method etc., forming by N-Methyl pyrrolidone class and azanol, the solution of forming by alkanolamine and azanol, the solution of forming by alkanolamine and glycol ether and azanol, or in these solution adding pure water or various adjuvant and the solution that forms etc.
Adopt the mode of batch operation in the past, just the resist that adds a certain amount of normal concentration when beginning in resist lift-off processing groove is peeled off new liquid, then rule of thumb, with the substrate number handled etc. as index, reduce gradually along with anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling and when making its deterioration concentration range that reaches regulation, all be replaced by preprepared new liquid once.The replacing time of this stripper is different and different with conditions such as the kind of the capacity of treatment trough and substrate, processing substrate number, changes once but general replacing number of times is about per 4 days.
When anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling generation deterioration, can not reach certain peeling rate, and produce and to peel off residue and metal oxide residue, thereby cause the reduction of qualification rate.
In resist stripping process,, will cause big loss if produce inferior goods as the final stage of xeroxing operation.
The anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling that contains azanol uses under 30~65 ℃ temperature usually.
The boiling point that is used for the various compositions of anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling, organic base or organic solvent are about 160~250 ℃, and azanol is about 160 ℃, and water is 100 ℃.
When using anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling, for resist peel groove and atmosphere being separated and using nitrogen purge, meanwhile, lower boiling moisture preferential evaporation makes moisture concentration decline, thereby causes concentration to change.Therefore, the resist stripping performance reduces gradually, and still the past is not carried out The real time measure to moisture, and moisture is not controlled at consistently the concentration of regulation yet.
When moisture concentration further reduces, the danger of blasting is arranged owing to stripper has flash-point.
In addition, when using anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling, for resist peel groove and atmosphere being separated and using nitrogen purge, meanwhile, the low boiling azanol that is only second to water evaporates, and makes the density loss of azanol, thereby causes concentration to change.Therefore, the resist stripping performance reduces gradually, and still the past is not carried out The real time measure to azanol concentration, and moisture is not controlled at consistently the concentration of regulation yet.
In addition, when resist is carried out lift-off processing, the resist that is dissolved in the anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling concentrates gradually, this is to cause peeling rate to reduce and produce to peel off one of reason of resist stripping performance deteriorations such as residue, but the past is not carried out The real time measure to the resist concentration of dissolving, and resist is not controlled at consistently the concentration of regulation yet.
Therefore, the resist concentration of moisture concentration at this moment, azanol concentration and dissolving changed along with the time, can not keep certain, what cause producing resist peels off residue or metal oxide residue, thereby be difficult to crystal liquid substrate is carried out the precision control of high precision size, make the Products Quality instability and qualification rate is reduced.
In addition, need shut-down operation (stop time) during owing to replacing solution, thereby cause real moving rate to reduce significantly, and be accompanied by the replacing operation of anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling, must spend more operating cost of expense.
In view of above-mentioned variety of problems, the objective of the invention is to solve the problem that above-mentioned prior art exists, can in the crystal liquid substrate manufacturing process, be suitable for a large amount of productions, the advantage of carrying out online mode of movement according to easy prior art can be brought into play, and the advantage of the box-packed processing mode of silicon wafer can be in semi-conductive manufacturing process, brought into play again.
That is to say, the objective of the invention is, as long as be ready to have the stoste of predetermined component ratio, the resist concentration of moisture concentration, azanol concentration and dissolving that just can be is according to the rules automatically controlled anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling, and can carry out suitable control to the solution supply of resist lift-off processing groove, and the resist stripping performance can be kept constant for a long time, cut down the use amount of stoste, guarantee safety, shorten the stand-by time of operation significantly, can reduce comprehensive production cost.

Below explain to use the embodiment of a kind of mixed solution that forms by MEA, BDG, azanol and pure water as anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling.
Usually, mainly due to the water evaporates of following nitrogen blowing to cause and along with the increase of processing substrate number, make the moisture concentration that is maintained at about 65 ℃ of anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controllings under the constant liquid temperature reduce gradually, therefore cause the resist stripping performance deterioration of anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling.
Therefore, moisture concentration must be controlled at the desired value of regulation, for example in 24.0 ± 1.0% scope.Past all is to wait the degree of judging the anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling deterioration according to that learn by experience with relation or chemical analysis processing substrate sheet number, but is difficult to like this hold rapidly and correctly.

In addition, the azanol in the anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling has the low boiling that is only second to water, reduces gradually owing to the azeotropic vaporization with moisture makes its concentration, thereby makes the resist stripping performance deterioration of anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling.
Therefore, azanol concentration must be controlled at the desired value of regulation, for example in 6.0 ± 1.0% scope.Past all is to wait the degree of judging the anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling deterioration according to that learn by experience with relation or chemical analysis processing substrate sheet number, but is difficult to like this hold rapidly and correctly.
The inventor studies the azanol concentration of anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling and the relation between the absorbance by experiment, the mensuration wavelength of absorbance is suitable and in the scope of the 1050nm~1090nm of near infrared range, particularly has very good sensitivity near the less 1074nm of other composition influences.
In addition, when selecting the mensuration wavelength, can select for use respectively according to the kind and the concentration of stripper and resist near infrared range.
As shown in Figure 8, there is the linear relationship of height between the absorbance when measuring wavelength X=1074nm and the azanol concentration, owing to having measured absorbance, thereby can correctly measures the concentration of azanol.
Shown in Fig. 1,2,4,5,6, the extinction photometer 15 that is provided with on pipeline 10 lines has and is used to the various compensate functions and the absorbance controller 30 that make error at measurment become minimum value.The absorbance measurement value input absorbance controller 30 of the sample liquid that imports by pipeline 10, with this numerical value as desired value, then according to output signal and under the condition of automatic control flow variable valve 24,25,27 the supply resist peel off at least a in stoste, hydroxylamine solution and the pure water so that azanol concentration is adjusted to desired value.
The deterioration of resist stripping performance is except relevant with azanol concentration with above-mentioned moisture concentration, and is also relevant with the resist concentration of dissolving.The anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling that processing substrate is used takes out from resist peel groove 1 by liquid-feeding pump 8, recycles through anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling sprayer 7 again, and therefore, dissolved material concentrates in anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling gradually.Wherein, main dissolved substance is a resist, and as illustrating as operational example among Fig. 9, the concentration of resist concentrates gradually along with the increase of processing substrate number, and the result is the remarkable deterioration of resist stripping performance.Past is not carried out The real time measure to this concentration change, and the resist stripping performance is not controlled at certain numerical value.The curve that the curve representation of Fig. 9 obtains when using the mixed liquor of being made up of MEA, BDG, azanol and pure water.

But such as shown in Figure 15 if use device of the present invention, even along with the process of time, azanol concentration is also constant in for example 6.0 ± 1.0 weight %, so its resist stripping performance is stable, also needn't carry out solution simultaneously and change operation.
In addition, according to the method for prior art, as shown in Figure 16, the resist concentration when beginning increases gradually along with the process of time, just need carry out solution and change when this concentration reaches the numerical range that can cause the reduction of resist stripping performance.In this case, as shown in Figure 16, the concentration of the resist of dissolving is indentation over time, and just there is the bigger situation of variation in the concentration of Rong Xie resist, so the resist stripping performance is non-constant.
But such as shown in Figure 17 if use device of the present invention, the resist concentration of dissolving is still keeping constant through after a certain period, and the resist stripping performance is stable, also needn't carry out solution simultaneously and change operation.
In addition, the solution that use MEA, the BDG that the present invention is not limited only to address in the above, azanol and pure water are formed is as the situation of anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling, simultaneously, also be applicable to the present invention at the solution that uses the solution formed by organic base and azanol and pure water, the solution of forming by organic solvent and azanol and pure water, the solution of forming by organic base and organic solvent and azanol and pure water, the solution of forming by organic base and organic solvent and azanol and pure water and adjuvant or in these solution, contain pure water hardly under as the situation of anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling.
Therefore the aforesaid formation of tool of the present invention has effect as described below.
(1) the present invention is applicable to the resist stripping process of semiconductor or crystal liquid substrate, the resist concentration of the moisture concentration in the watch-keeping anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling, azanol concentration and/or dissolving in real time can and accurately be controlled at the concentration range of regulation respectively with these concentration stabilize.
Therefore, the resist stripping performance of substrate also reaches stabilization, thereby has improved the qualification rate of goods significantly.
In addition, anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling does not have flash-point under common user mode, has therefore guaranteed security, can work continuously for a long time according to stable liquid level simultaneously.
(2) owing to use cheap anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling; and the quality of this stripper can be kept constant and can work continuously; therefore reached and be not used in the stop time of changing solution and useless discarded object; the cost of solution use amount and stripper all reduces significantly; owing to the raising of real moving rate improves throughput rate significantly, owing to the unmanned comprehensive effect of each side such as labour cost reduction that makes.
(3) because azanol concentration is controlled at setting, therefore can positively remove attached to Si oxide on the substrate and aluminum oxide etc.
Therefore, can not produce and peel off residue and metal oxide residue, and can produce inferior goods hardly.
(4) under the situation of using the anticorrosive additive stripping liquid controlling that combines by organic base and organic solvent before, treatment temperature as substrate must reach about 80 ℃, but under the situation of using apparatus of the present invention, owing to contain an amount of azanol, therefore the treatment temperature of substrate can be reduced to about 40 ℃.
Therefore, can alleviate being used to form the infringement that underlying metal caused of substrate or semiconductor circuits.
