Description

Forming process of surface acoustic wave filter
Technical Field
The invention relates to a forming process of a surface acoustic wave filter, belonging to a forming process of a semiconductor device.
Background
A surface acoustic wave filter (SAWF, hereinafter referred to as acoustic surface) is widely applied to radio frequency mobile communication, and along with the development of communication technology, the frequency band to which the saw filter is applied is increasing. A mobile phone at least needs to support requirements of 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, WiFi, GPS, and the like, so that a sound table with different frequencies is needed to meet different requirements, high frequency is a trend requirement for development of mobile communication sound table devices, but the higher the frequency is, the thinner the line width (hereinafter referred to as line width) of the internal structure of the sound table is, and the requirement for the production process is higher and higher. Under the existing technical conditions, especially for manufacturing submicron or even deep submicron line width acoustic surface devices, photoresist is deformed at a certain temperature to generate fluidization to form gummosis, so that part of a metal film layer after exposure and development is covered by the gummosis, and under the dry etching action, the part which needs to be etched originally is not effectively removed due to the covering of the gummosis, and finally, the burr on the edge of the etched line is far away from the line width required by design, so that the performance of the product is further influenced, how to ensure that the line width meets the design requirement is further ensured, and further ensuring that the electrical performance of the device becomes an important process consideration.
Disclosure of Invention
The technical problem to be solved by the invention is as follows: the forming process of the surface acoustic wave filter can be used for micro-etching the flowing glue, so that the surface acoustic wave filter with lines meeting the design layout requirement is produced.
In order to solve the technical problems, the technical scheme of the invention is as follows: a molding process of a surface acoustic wave filter comprises the following steps:
s1, depositing a metal film layer on the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate;
s2, forming a layer of photoresist on the upper surface of the metal film layer and carrying out pre-baking treatment;
s3, exposing the photoresist by using a mask;
s4, developing the photoresist by utilizing a developing process to form a photoresist pattern which is the same as the device image;
s5, carrying out postbaking treatment on the product;
s6, carrying out micro-etching on the gummosis at the bottom of the side wall of the photoresist pattern in a plasma environment by using oxygen and tetrafluoromethane;
s7, forming a metal film pattern which is the same as the photoresist pattern after etching the metal film layer by using a dry etching process;
s8, removing the photoresist on the upper surface of the metal film to obtain a filter device;
and S9, purging the surface of the filter device by using an ion blower.
As a preferable scheme, the specific process flow of step S6 is as follows:
s61, introducing oxygen and tetrafluoromethane into a vacuum chamber with 100Pa according to the flow ratio of 50: 1;
s62, ionizing oxygen into oxygen atoms by using a 13.56Mhz radio frequency power supply;
s63, applying a radio frequency electric field of 200W to the vacuum cavity, enabling oxygen atoms to move in the direction vertical to the metal film layer under the physical action of the radio frequency electric field, and enabling the oxygen atoms to react with the flowing glue at the bottom of the side wall of the photoresist pattern to carry out micro-etching, wherein the micro-etching time is 31-35 seconds;
and S64, introducing nitrogen of 50SCCM to clean the vacuum cavity after the photoresist is removed, and continuously vacuumizing to ensure that the vacuum degree in the cavity is 100 Pa.
Preferably, the oxygen flow rate in step S61 is 1000SCCM, and the corresponding tetrafluoromethane is 20 SCCM.
Preferably, a step of post-exposure baking S3-4 is added between step S3 and step S4 of the molding process, the step S3-4 is to place the exposed product above a hot plate for non-contact heating, the heating temperature is 105 ℃, a gap of 5-10 microns is arranged between the bottom of the product and the hot plate, the heating time is 90S, and nitrogen protection is filled during heating.
After the technical scheme is adopted, the invention has the effects that: the forming process is added with the step S6 on the basis of the original forming process, and the flowing glue at the bottom of the side wall of the photoresist pattern is subjected to micro etching by utilizing oxygen and tetrafluoromethane under the plasma environment; therefore, the lines of the photoresist pattern are clear, the metal strip width manufacturing process in the submicron lines is improved, and the breakthrough of the acoustic surface device to higher frequency (thinner line width) is realized.
The specific process flow of the step S6 is as follows:
s61, introducing oxygen and tetrafluoromethane into a vacuum chamber with 100Pa according to the flow ratio of 50: 1;
s62, ionizing oxygen into oxygen atoms by using a 13.56Mhz radio frequency power supply;
s63, applying a radio frequency electric field of 200W to the vacuum cavity, enabling oxygen atoms to move in the direction vertical to the metal film layer under the physical action of the radio frequency electric field, and enabling the oxygen atoms to react with the flowing glue at the bottom of the side wall of the photoresist pattern to carry out micro-etching, wherein the micro-etching time is 31-35 seconds;
s64, after photoresist is removed, 50SCCM nitrogen is introduced to clean the vacuum cavity, and vacuum is continuously pumped to ensure that the vacuum degree in the cavity is 100Pa, therefore, the micro-etching process utilizes tetrafluoromethane as a catalyst, and utilizes ionized oxygen atoms as an etching medium, the oxygen atoms vertically move under the action of a radio frequency electric field to contact with the flowing photoresist and generate micro-etching reaction, and simultaneously controls the intensity of the radio frequency electric field to enable the oxygen atoms to react with the flowing photoresist and simultaneously reduce the reaction of the oxygen atoms with other photoresists except the flowing photoresist, so that the clearness and regularity of photoresist lines are further ensured, and the lines of the photoresist directly influence the clearness and regularity of metal lines after dry etching, and the line precision of the surface acoustic wave filter is higher, and thinner lines can be manufactured to meet the use condition of higher frequency.
And because the step of post-exposure baking S3-4 is added between the step S3 and the step S4 of the molding process, the step S3-4 places the exposed product above a hot plate for non-contact heating, the heating temperature is 105 ℃, a gap of 5-10 microns is arranged between the bottom of the product and the hot plate, the heating time is 90S, and nitrogen protection is filled during heating, the purpose is to reduce the influence of standing wave effect and enable the chemical reaction to be more sufficient. During exposure, standing wave effect will occur at the boundary between the exposed area and the non-exposed area, and the standing wave effect will form transition areas with different intensity near the boundary between the two areas, which will affect the size and resolution of the pattern formed after development. Meanwhile, the chemical reaction of the exposed light is not completely finished, the reaction is completely finished through the post-baking operation, and simultaneously, the active ingredients generated through the light reaction are diffused in the process, so that the latent image generated by light intensity distribution is enhanced through a chemical method, and the pattern appearance is more accurately controlled.
