Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of electronic chemicals, and particularly relates to preparation and a using method of a selective etching solution of SiGe and Si.
Background
The introduction of a fin field effect transistor (FinFET) reduces the supply voltage and provides better electrical control of the channel, thereby reducing leakage current and overcoming short channel effects. A significant feature of a FinFET is that the gate wraps around three sides of the conductive channel "Fin". To further improve the performance of CMOS devices, shrinking the size while introducing high mobility materials such as Ge, the next era in CMOS should also introduce a concept of "GAA (gate all around) FET", which can be regarded as an extension of the current FinFET devices. GAA FETs, which feature a gate wrapped around the four sides of the channel, can further improve short channel control, are considered a key design feature for future CMOS technologies.
Selectively removing SiGe from the SiGe and Si multilayer stack of the fin results in a vertically stacked Si nanowire; vice versa, selectively removing Si from the same multilayer stack of fins results in vertically stacked SiGe nanowires. The method mainly aims at selectively removing SiGe in the SiGe and Si multilayer lamination, and has various modes for increasing the selectivity of the etching solution to SiGe, such as reasonably selecting an oxidant and a fluorine source, adjusting the pH value, adjusting the etching temperature, increasing the polarity of the etching solution and the like. Currently, the etching for selectively removing SiGe by SiGe/Si has various problems, such as high etching temperature, low selectivity and the like. The selectivity of the etching solution of the invention to SiGe is more than 30, the reaction temperature is low, and the etching rate and the selectivity ratio of SiGe can be controlled.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the problems of high etching temperature, low SiGe selectivity and the like of the existing etching solution for selectively etching SiGe, and aims to provide a preparation method and a use method of the SiGe selective etching solution with good selectivity and low etching temperature.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the technical scheme that:
the selective etching liquid for SiGe and Si consists of composite oxidant 1-15 wt%, fluorine source 1-15 wt%, buffering composition 30-60 wt%, chelating agent 0.05-5 wt% and high purity water for the rest.
In the above scheme, the composite oxidant is an inorganic oxidant and an organic oxidant in a mass ratio of 1:1-10 to form the composite oxidant.
The inorganic oxidizing agent comprises at least one of hydrogen peroxide, peroxyacetic acid, perboric acid, ammonium persulfate, nitric acid and periodic acid;
the organic oxidant comprises at least one of benzoquinone, N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide, nitropyridine, nitrophenol, ureide, N-pyridine oxide and trimethylamine N-oxide.
In the above embodiment, the fluoride ion source includes at least one of hydrofluoric acid, ammonium fluoride, tetramethylammonium fluoride, tetraethylammonium fluoride, tetrapropylammonium fluoride, fluoroboric acid, ammonium bifluoride, hexafluorosilicic acid, hexafluorosilicate, triethylamine trihydrofluoric acid, pyridine hydrofluoride, and the like.
In the above scheme, the buffer composition is mainly an acetic acid-ammonium acetate buffer system, a citric acid-ammonium citrate buffer system, and preferably an acetic acid-ammonium acetate buffer system.
In the above embodiment, the chelating agent may be ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, butanediamine tetraacetic acid, propylenediaminetetraacetic acid, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, triethylenetetraminehexaacetic acid, tartaric acid, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, thiosalicylic acid, ethylene glycol bis (2-aminoethyl ether) tetraacetic acid, cystine, gallic acid, or the like.
In the scheme, the used SiGe contains 30-60% of Ge (mass fraction), siGe materials with different Ge contents have different etching rates and selection ratios, the selection ratio of the invention to SiGe etching with Ge contents of more than 30% is greater than 30, and the higher the Ge content is, the higher the selectivity is, and when the Ge content in the SiGe is lower than 25%, the selective etching effect on the SiGe is not good due to the overlarge Si content, namely the selection ratio of the SiGe relative to Si is less than 15, and at this time, the selection ratio can be improved by changing conditions.
In the scheme, a certain amount of ultrapure water is added into a container, a certain amount of oxidant, a fluorine source, a chelating agent and organic acid are sequentially added into the ultrapure water, the mixture is uniformly stirred, the organic acid salt is added to adjust the pH value to 2.5-4.5, and the mixture is uniformly mixed to obtain the selective etching solution of SiGe and Si. The etching temperature range is 25-40 ℃.
In the scheme, the lining material of the container is HDPE, PFA or PTFE, and the precipitation amount of metal ions is less than or equal to 30w/10 -9 。
The invention has the advantages of
(1) The oxidant of the selective etching solution of SiGe and Si adopts organic and inorganic coordination, thereby not only ensuring the etching rate, but also increasing the selection ratio. In the process of wet etching SiGe and Si, oxidizing SiGe and Si by an oxidizing agent, and removing the oxides by a fluorine source, wherein the selectivity to SiGe is realized by balancing the oxidation rate and the oxide removal rate of SiGe and Si by changing the components of an etching solution or etching conditions, so that the oxidation rate and the oxide removal rate of SiGe are greatly increased, and the oxidation rate and the oxide removal rate of Si are reduced or slightly increased. The weak oxidizing agent oxidizes SiGe more strongly than Si, which also further increases the selectivity to SiGe.
(3) The organic buffer component of the etching solution has a large proportion, so that the surface tension is low, defoaming and wetting effects can be well achieved without adding a surfactant, the mass transfer resistance of the etching solution can be effectively reduced, the diffusibility of an etching product in the solution is improved, and the etching uniformity is maintained. The buffering pH value is 2.5-4.5, the etching temperature is 25-40 ℃, and the etching solution is relatively stable.
(4) The chelating agent can chelate heavy metal ions, thereby greatly reducing the natural loss of the oxidant and prolonging the service life of the etching solution.
