Description

Stripper composition for removing photoresist and method for stripping photoresist using the same
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a stripper composition for removing photoresist and a method for stripping photoresist using the same.
Background
Generally, a fine circuit of a Flat Panel Display (FPD) device of an LED, an OLED, or the like is realized by a photolithography process. The photolithography process 1) uniformly coats a photoresist on a conductive metal film or an insulating film formed on a substrate, 2) selectively performs exposure and development processes on them to form a photoresist pattern, 3) performs wet or dry etching on the conductive metal film or the insulating film using the patterned photoresist film as a mask to transfer a fine circuit pattern onto a photoresist underlayer, 4) removes an unnecessary photoresist layer with a stripper composition.
The photoresist stripper composition is required to strip the photoresist in a short time even at a low temperature, the damage of the insulating layer and the metal layer is required to be reduced to the maximum in the stripping process, and the stripped photoresist and the residue of the stripper composition are required to be ensured not to remain on the substrate after cleaning.
In addition, recently, along with the demand for large area, ultra-fine, and high resolution of displays, it is actively proposed not to use a copper (Cu) wiring pattern having excellent specific resistance characteristics and electromigration characteristics. However, since the conventional stripping agent composition is highly corrosive to copper, in the case of using it as a stripping agent for copper wiring, there is a problem that fine stains and residues occur due to damage of an underlying film containing copper.
Thus, although attempts have been made to develop a stripper composition having low corrosiveness to copper, such as an anticorrosive additive, there are limitations that the stripper composition has little effect of preventing copper damage, causes a decrease in photoresist stripping performance, and is not easily cleaned from the substrate surface even after cleaning.
That is, there is a strong demand for the development of a stripper composition having excellent stripping force and cleaning force for a photoresist and also excellent corrosion prevention effect for an underlayer containing copper.

Effects of the invention
The stripper composition according to the present invention can not leave stains and residues on a substrate after cleaning because it is excellent in corrosion prevention capability to an underlying film and, at the same time, is very excellent in stripping force to a photoresist.
Specifically, the photoresist can be stripped in a short time even at a low temperature, so that the stripping rate can be further increased, and the stripped photoresist is excellent in dissolving power, so that no photoresist residue remains on the substrate after cleaning. Meanwhile, since the photoresist composition has excellent corrosion resistance to an insulating film, a metal film, and the like as an underlayer, it is possible to selectively and rapidly strip off only the photoresist without generating stains and damages on the underlayer.
Further, the stripping force of the stripper composition according to the present invention can be maintained for a long time as time passes, and since the dissolving force for the stripped photoresist is excellent, defects such as filter clogging in the process can be minimized. Further, the stripper composition according to the present invention can be perfectly removed only by a cleaning process by ultrapure water, and thus does not remain on the substrate after cleaning.
In contrast, the economy and efficiency of the process can be improved, and a highly reliable semiconductor device can be provided by a very economical method.

The amine compound according to an embodiment of the present invention may function to melt and remove the bonding structure of the photoresist as having the structural characteristics as described above, and may achieve a very excellent stripping force for the photoresist. Thus, it is possible to prevent the deterioration of the economy and efficiency of the process caused by the use of an excessive amount of amine in the conventional stripping agent composition, and to significantly reduce the amount of waste liquid and the like generated. Further, the photoresist can be peeled off perfectly in a short time even at a low temperature, and surface damage of the lower film containing copper or the like can be reduced to the maximum.
The amine compound according to an embodiment of the present invention may include 0.1 to 10 wt%, and preferably may include 1 to 6 wt%, and more preferably may include 2 to 5.5 wt% with respect to the total weight of the entire stripper composition.
In the numerical range, the effect to be achieved by the present invention, that is, the corrosion preventing effect for the lower film containing copper while being excellent in the peeling force and the cleaning force for the photoresist is remarkable is exhibited without affecting the stability of the composition, and thus it is preferable.
The amine compound may be used in admixture with an amine compound generally used in this field, as required. As non-limiting examples thereof, there can be selected from linear amine compounds such as diethanolamine, 2-aminoethoxy) -1-ethanol, aminoethylethanolamine, monomethanolamine, monoethanolamine, N-methylethylamine, 1-aminoisopropanol, methyldimethylamine, diethylenetriamine and triethylenetetramine, and cyclic amine compounds such as 1-imidazolidineethanol, aminoethylpiperazine and hydroxyethylpiperazine, and the like.

Specifically, the amine compound is made readily soluble in the stripper composition, and the stripper composition is made to appropriately permeate into the photoresist pattern and the lower film. In this case, the release agent composition according to the present invention can maximize the excellent release force and cleaning force.
Further, the stripper composition for removing photoresist according to an embodiment of the present invention may also contain water to be used as a water-based stripping composition, in addition to the above-mentioned aprotic polar organic solvent. In the case where water is optionally contained, the content thereof may be determined within an appropriate range among the ranges of the content of the aprotic organic solvent.

In the case where the glycol-based compound satisfies the above numerical range, wettability (humidity) to the photoresist can be improved by reducing the surface tension of the stripper composition, and an excellent stripping force to the hardened or deteriorated photoresist can also serve to improve the dissolution force to the stripped photoresist. In addition, excellent compatibility between various organic substances present in the stripper composition according to the present invention can be imparted. In this regard, the peeling force and the cleaning force of the stripper composition according to the present invention can be maintained over a long period of time.

By using the anticorrosive agent as described above, the peeling force of the stripper composition can be kept excellent while effectively inhibiting the corrosion of the lower film, and a synergistic effect with the amine compound (chemical formula 1) according to the present invention is exhibited, so that a maximized corrosion inhibiting effect can be achieved.

In the case where the anticorrosive agent satisfies the above numerical value range, a maximized corrosion inhibition effect can be exhibited, and also, the removal can be perfectly performed only by the cleaning process with ultrapure water so as not to be adsorbed and remain on the substrate after the cleaning.
In this regard, the stripper composition for removing photoresist according to the present invention can further improve the stripping force, the cleaning force and the corrosion prevention force by mixing the amine compound, the aprotic polar organic solvent, the glycol-based compound and the corrosion prevention agent as described above in a specific ratio. Specifically, the photoresist can be perfectly removed in a short time even at a low temperature, and the dissolving power for the stripped photoresist is also excellent, so that a photoresist residue does not remain on the substrate after cleaning. Meanwhile, since the insulating film, the metal film, and the like, which are lower films, have excellent corrosion resistance, it is possible to selectively and rapidly strip the photoresist without leaving stains and damages on the lower films. Further, the stripping force of the stripper composition according to the present invention can be maintained for a long time as time passes, and since the dissolving force for the stripped photoresist is excellent, defects such as filter clogging in the process can be minimized. Further, the stripper composition according to the present invention can be perfectly removed only by a cleaning process by ultrapure water, and thus does not adsorb and remain on the substrate after cleaning.

The insulating film according to an embodiment of the present invention may be any insulating film that is commonly used, and as a non-limiting example thereof, a silicon oxide film, a silicon nitride film, or the like may be mentioned.
The metal film according to an embodiment of the present invention may be any one that is commonly used, and as a non-limiting example thereof, a metal film or an alloy film containing a metal selected from aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), and the like may be mentioned.
In the method of stripping a photoresist according to an embodiment of the present invention, a photoresist pattern may be first formed through a photolithography process on a substrate on which an underlying film to be patterned is formed. Subsequently, after patterning the lower film using such a photoresist pattern as a mask, the photoresist may be stripped using the stripper composition or the like for removing the photoresist. Among the above-described processes, the formation of the photoresist pattern and the patterning process of the lower film may follow a conventional semiconductor device manufacturing method, and thus additional description thereof will be omitted.
In addition, in the case of stripping a photoresist using the stripper composition for removing the photoresist, the stripper composition may be first processed on a substrate where a photoresist pattern remains, and a process of cleaning with ultra pure water and a process of performing drying may be performed. Further, after the treatment of the stripper composition, a process of cleaning using an alkaline buffer solution may also be included.
The step of stripping the photoresist from the substrate engraved with the fine circuit pattern using the stripper composition for removing the photoresist according to an embodiment of the present invention may use a dipping manner in which a plurality of substrates to be stripped are immersed (nipping) in a large amount of the stripper composition at the same time, a single-sheet manner in which the stripper composition is sprayed onto the substrate one by one to remove the photoresist, and the like, and the manner thereof is not limited.
In the method of stripping a photoresist according to an embodiment of the present invention, in the case where the stripper composition is used in a dipping manner, the step of stripping the photoresist may be performed in the range of 25 to 70 ℃. In particular, the steps may be performed in the range of 30 to 65 ℃ or in the range of 40 to 60 ℃. That is, according to the present invention, excellent photoresist stripping force and cleaning force are achieved without damage to the lower film also in mild temperature conditions. Further, the step may be performed for 30 seconds to 10 minutes, or for 30 seconds to 5 minutes, or for 30 seconds to 1 minute under the above-described temperature conditions. That is, according to the present invention, excellent peeling performance can be achieved in a very fast time even under the mild temperature conditions as described above.

Photoresist stripping force parity
The stripper compositions produced in the examples and comparative examples were rated for photoresist stripping performance. After a photoresist is coated on a silicon wafer on which a Cu/Ti dual film is deposited by using a spin coater, the wafer is hard-baked at 110 deg.C, 120 deg.C, 130 deg.C, 140 deg.C, 150 deg.C for 100 to 150 seconds, respectively, to form a photoresist film having a thickness of about 1.2 to 2.1 um. Then, the wafer formed with the photoresist was cut in a size of 10mm x150mm x150mm to manufacture a sample. The samples were immersed in the corresponding stripper composition at 50 ℃ for 1 minute to remove the photoresist. The evaluation sample from which the photoresist was removed was washed with ultrapure water and then dried with nitrogen gas.

Lower film corrosion resistance is on average
For the stripper compositions produced in the examples and comparative examples, in order to perform the balance of corrosion resistance of the copper film, a test piece of a silicon wafer having a Cu/Ti double film deposited thereon cut in a size of 10mm x150mm in order at 50 ℃ was immersed for 18 hours in a corresponding stripper. The sample was washed with ultrapure water and then dried with nitrogen gas.
Subsequently, the change in the concentration of copper ions present in the stripper composition was measured by ICP-MS, the degree of damage of copper was confirmed by FE-SEM for the dried sample, and the results thereof are shown in table 2 below and fig. 2.

For the stripper compositions manufactured in the examples and comparative examples, the stripping performance according to the photoresist concentration was averaged out. The photoresist was subjected to a heat treatment at 150 ℃ for 24 hours to remove all the solvent, thereby preparing a photoresist solid powder. The coated photoresist was immersed in a stripper composition dissolving the photoresist solid powder from 1 to 5 wt% at 50 ℃ for 1 minute to manufacture a photoresist. The evaluation sample from which the photoresist was removed was washed with ultrapure water and then dried with nitrogen gas.
Subsequently, whether the photoresist was removed or not was confirmed for the dried sample by FE-SEM, and the results of the levelness based on the following levelness are described in table 2 below.
Very good: the photoresist is removed 100% without residue
O: the photoresist is removed more than 80% and less than 100% with almost no residue
And (delta): the photoresist is removed by more than 50% and less than 80% with a considerable amount X: the photoresist is removed less than 50% and a little more photoresist remains
[ Table 2]

As shown in said table 2, it was observed that the stripper composition for removing photoresist according to the present invention is excellent in the stripping force for photoresist and remarkable in the corrosion prevention force for the lower film containing copper. Further, the stripper composition according to the present invention can be perfectly removed only in a cleaning process by ultra pure water, and thus residue does not remain on the substrate after cleaning.
Specifically, the photoresist peeling force leveling results of examples 1 to 12 show that the photoresist was removed 100% in a very fast time and the residue was perfectly cleaned without remaining on the substrate. Further, as shown in fig. 1, in the case of removing the photoresist with the stripper composition of example 1 of the present invention, it was confirmed that no undercut occurred and the inclination of the two metal layers was also appropriate, so that an excellent taper shape could be obtained.
Further, the anticorrosive ability of the lower films of examples 1 to 12 was on average the result that there was almost no dissolved copper ion in the stripper composition, and as shown in fig. 2, no damage to the copper film was observed in the SEM measurement result. It was also confirmed that the photoresist solid powder can maintain an excellent stripping force against the photoresist even when dissolved to 3 wt%.
That is, it is known that the stripper composition for removing photoresist according to the present invention is excellent in stripping force, cleaning force, corrosion resistance, and stripping force with the lapse of time.
In contrast, in the case of comparative examples 1 and 2, which are the stripper compositions not containing the amine compound (WJEA or MNA) according to the present invention, the stripping force for the photoresist was low, and the lower film corrosion prevention power was equivalent, and as a result, a considerable amount of copper ions was observed in the stripper composition, and a significant difference was also observed in the corrosion prevention power for the lower film.
