Description

Etching solution for selectively etching titanium nitride and tungsten
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of etching solutions, and particularly relates to a low-foam etching solution with uniform etching.
Background
Tungsten, which is widely used for metal conductive layers, gates, barrier layers, or reticles in integrated circuits due to its good semiconductor compatibility and adhesion, and titanium nitride materials are widely used in integrated circuit fabrication. Similarly, titanium nitride (titanium-based metal) is often used as a material for a bottom layer, a barrier layer or a bonding layer of other metal layers in integrated circuits due to its excellent conductive and superconducting properties, and particularly in logic circuit manufacturing, although very large scale integrated circuits are developed toward a higher copper process, the current MOCVD technology for depositing titanium nitride is an irreplaceable technology for using titanium nitride as a bonding layer and a barrier layer for tungsten filling.
The existing titanium nitride and tungsten etching solution is mostly used for simultaneously etching titanium nitride and tungsten layers, and both patent 1(CN109328394A) and patent 2(CN 110195229A) disclose the etching solution for simultaneously etching a tungsten metal layer and a titanium nitride layer, and the effect of ensuring the consistent etching rate of tungsten and titanium nitride can be ensured by regulating and controlling. Patent 3(CN 110095952 a) uses an etchant composition of 1-10% of an oxidizing agent, 5-20% of a polyamine compound, 2-10% of an ammonium salt, and 0.1-2% of a corrosion inhibitor, the etchant being selected from tungsten capable of selectively removing titanium nitride, copper, and TEOS silicon oxide on a wafer. Patent 4(CN 105936822 a) uses 80% -90% of at least one compound selected from sulfuric acid and alkyl sulfonic acid, 1% -5% of peroxide, 0.001% -1% of inorganic ammonium salt, the etching solution can selectively etch titanium nitride and tungsten, but the selectivity ratio is only 10.5, and the etching rate of titanium nitride is only up to
Figure BDA0003415955630000011
Figure BDA0003415955630000012
In summary, the existing literature for titanium nitride and tungsten mainly etches both simultaneously, and the etching rate can be ensured to be consistent by regulation, while the literature for selectively etching titanium nitride and tungsten has a lower selection ratio and lower etching rate, and a titanium nitride and tungsten etching solution with a high selection ratio and a high etching rate is required to be developed.

The etching selectivity ratio is more than 39, which shows that the etching inhibitor can inhibit the oxidation of the metal tungsten, and is adsorbed on the surface of the metal tungsten to form a dense film in the form of coordination bonds, so that the etching of the metal tungsten by the etching solution can be inhibited; the etch rates of titanium nitride in examples 10-12 were substantially equal
Figure BDA0003415955630000096
The etching selectivity ratio is more than 32, which shows that the surfactant can adjust the surface tension between the etching solution and different phases to adjust the selectivity ratio of the etching solution in two phases of titanium nitride and tungsten, but in example 10, the excessive surfactant is not easily dissolved in the etching solution and suspended on the surface of the etching solution, which is not beneficial to adjusting the selectivity ratio of the etching solution to two phases.
No etching inhibitor was used in comparative example 1, since there was no etching inhibitorThe agent inhibits the etching of tungsten, a compact barrier film cannot be formed on the surface of the tungsten, and the etching rate of the tungsten is
Figure BDA0003415955630000101
The etch selectivity ratio of titanium nitride to tungsten was 1.4. In comparative example 2, no surfactant was present, the surface tension between the etching solution and the different phases could not be adjusted, the wettability of the etching solution was poor, the selectivity of the etching solution between the titanium nitride and tungsten phases could not be adjusted, and the etching selectivity was 6.6. Comparative example 3, which is an anticorrosive agent, cannot form a complex with oxidized titanium ions, so that the oxidized titanium ions are dissociated, inhibiting further oxidation of titanium nitride, and cannot promote etching in further reaction of titanium nitride, the etching rate of titanium nitride is
Figure BDA0003415955630000102
The etch selectivity ratio was 19.6.
