Description

Method for refining and purifying etching waste liquid
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of waste liquid treatment, and relates to a method for refining and purifying etching waste liquid.
Background
With the rapid development of semiconductor and microelectronic technologies, the application range of electronic chips is increasingly expanding, and etching of micro-scale patterns is an important factor affecting the performance of chips based on the requirement of chip refinement. The etching technology is an important process for chip production, wherein the wet etching is to use some specific chemical reagents to decompose part of a film to be etched and convert the film into a soluble compound to enter a water phase so as to achieve the purpose of etching. According to the choice of chip material, the commonly used etchant mainly comprises hydrofluoric acid, usually ammonium fluoride is used as a buffer to be mixed with the hydrofluoric acid to control the etching rate, meanwhile, an organic additive or a surfactant is also added to improve the wettability, and based on the complexity of the components of the etching solution, waste liquid and waste gas are generated after the etching is finished, and if the waste liquid and the waste gas are directly discharged without treatment, serious environmental damage can be caused.
Based on the selection of an etchant and an etching chip, waste liquid generated in an etching process usually contains fluorine, ammonium ions and the like, and also contains metal ions, organic components and the like.
CN 110104842A discloses a method for treating fluorine-containing ammonium-containing etching wastewater, which comprises the following steps: adding ammonium bicarbonate into the wastewater, carrying out solid-liquid separation after reaction, and absorbing tail gas by water; concentrating the filtrate after solid-liquid separation and the water solution absorbing the tail gas by a reverse osmosis system to prepare fresh water and concentrated water; washing the solid obtained by solid-liquid separation with the fresh water, drying to obtain white carbon black, and recycling the washing water to reverse osmosis treatment; adding white carbon black into concentrated water, adding boric acid, stirring, reacting at a constant temperature, filtering, and drying; and roasting the dried solid to obtain the boron-containing heteroatom molecular sieve. The method for treating the etching waste water is to convert components such as fluorine, ammonium and the like into other substances together, so that the components cannot be used in the etching process again, and the method has the advantages of numerous operation steps and high raw material and operation cost.
CN 106517244A discloses a method for producing ammonium bifluoride from fluorine-containing etching waste liquid, which comprises the following steps: removing impurities from the fluorine-containing etching waste liquid to remove sulfate ions, chloride ions and nitrate ions in the waste liquid; introducing liquid ammonia into the waste liquid after impurity removal until no new precipitate is generated, heating to discharge unreacted ammonia gas for recycling treatment, and filtering and separating the liquid and the precipitate to obtain filtrate and filter residue; and adding hydrofluoric acid into the obtained filtrate until the pH value is not changed any more, and evaporating, crystallizing, washing, drying and crushing to obtain the ammonium bifluoride product. According to the method, the silicon-containing component is precipitated by additionally adding ammonia, and fluorine in the waste liquid is recovered, but the obtained precipitate has limited purity and cannot be applied to precision industries such as semiconductors and electrons, which have extremely high requirements on purity.
In summary, for the treatment and recycling of the waste liquid of the etching process, a proper refining process needs to be selected, so that the components of the waste liquid can be fully separated and recycled, the purity of the product is greatly improved, the process operation is simplified, and the cost is reduced.
