Description

本発明は、フォトレジスト除去用シンナー組成物及びそれを用いた半導体装置又は液晶表示装置の製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a thinner composition for removing a photoresist and a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device or a liquid crystal display device using the same.

半導体製造工程のうちのフォトリソグラフィ工程はウエハにフォトレジストを塗布し、予め設計されたパターンを転写し、転写されたパターンに沿って適切にエッチングするエッチング工程によって電子回路を構成する作業であって、非常に重要な作業の一つである。   Among the semiconductor manufacturing processes, the photolithography process is an operation for forming an electronic circuit by an etching process in which a photoresist is applied to a wafer, a pre-designed pattern is transferred, and etching is appropriately performed along the transferred pattern. This is one of the most important tasks.

このようなフォトリソグラフィ工程は、
(1)ウエハの表面にフォトレジストを均一に塗布する工程、
(2)塗布されたフォトレジストから溶剤を蒸発させてフォトレジストがウエハの表面に付着するようにするソフトベイキング工程、
(3)紫外線などの光源を利用してマスク上の回路パターンを、反復的に順次に縮少投影しながらフォトレジストを露光じてマスクパターンをフォトレジスト上に転写する露光工程、
(4)光源からの露光によって、フォトレジストの溶解度差のような物理的性質が異なるようになった部分を現像液を用いて選択的に除去する現像工程、
(5)現像作業後にウエハ上に残留するフォトレジストのウエハへのより緊密な固着のためのハードベイキング工程、
(6)現像されたフォトレジストのパターンに沿ってウエハの所定部位をエッチングするエッチング工程及び
(7)上記工程の後、フォトレジストのパターンを除去する剥離工程
などに大別することができる。
Such a photolithography process includes:
(1) A step of uniformly applying a photoresist to the surface of the wafer,
(2) a soft baking process in which the solvent is evaporated from the applied photoresist so that the photoresist adheres to the surface of the wafer;
(3) An exposure process of transferring a mask pattern onto a photoresist by exposing the photoresist while repeatedly and sequentially projecting a circuit pattern on the mask using a light source such as ultraviolet rays.
(4) a development step of selectively removing a portion having a different physical property, such as a difference in solubility of the photoresist, by using a developer by exposure from a light source;
(5) a hard baking process for closer adhesion of the photoresist remaining on the wafer after the development operation to the wafer;
(6) An etching process for etching a predetermined portion of the wafer along the developed photoresist pattern; (7) After the above process, it can be roughly divided into a peeling process for removing the photoresist pattern, and the like.

このようなフォトリソグラフィ工程のうちの(2)のソフトベイキング工程後にはウエハのエッジ部分や裏面に不必要に塗布されたフォトレジストを除去する作業が必要である。これは、ウエハのエッジや裏面に存在するフォトレジストによって、後工程のエッチング、イオン注入などにおいて多様な不良が発生し、これによって半導体装置の収率の低下を招くという問題を招くためである。   After the soft baking step (2) in such a photolithography step, it is necessary to remove the photoresist unnecessarily applied to the edge portion and the back surface of the wafer. This is because the photoresist existing on the edge and back surface of the wafer causes various defects in subsequent etching and ion implantation, thereby causing a problem that the yield of the semiconductor device is reduced.

従来から、ウエハのエッジや裏面に存在するフォトレジストを除去するために、ウエハのエッジ部分の上下に噴射ノズルを設置し、このノズルを通じてエッジや裏面に有機溶剤成分からなるシンナーを噴射する方法が主に使用されている。   Conventionally, in order to remove the photoresist existing on the edge and back surface of the wafer, there has been a method in which spray nozzles are installed above and below the edge portion of the wafer, and a thinner composed of an organic solvent component is sprayed on the edge and back surface through this nozzle. Mainly used.

フォトレジストを除去するためのシンナー組成物として、例えば、セロソルブ、セロソルブアセテート、プロピレングリコールエーテル、プロピレングリコールエーテルアセテートなどのエーテル及びエーテルアセテート類、アセトン、メチルエチルケトン、メチルイソブチルケトン、シクロヘキサノンなどのケトン類、乳酸メチル、乳酸エチル、メチルアセテート、エチルアセテート、ブチルアセテートなどのエステル類が用いられており、このシンナー組成物を、基板の表面、裏面、エッジ等に付着した不要なフォトレジストに接触させて、除去する方法が提案されている(例えば、特許文献1)。   Thinner compositions for removing the photoresist include, for example, ethers and ether acetates such as cellosolve, cellosolve acetate, propylene glycol ether, propylene glycol ether acetate, ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, cyclohexanone, lactic acid Esters such as methyl, ethyl lactate, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, and butyl acetate are used, and this thinner composition is removed by bringing it into contact with unnecessary photoresist attached to the surface, back surface, edge, etc. of the substrate. A method has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1).

また、シンナー組成物としてプロピレングリコールメチルエーテルアセテート(例えば、特許文献2)、アルキルアルコキシプロピオネート等も使用されている(例えば、特許文献3)。   In addition, propylene glycol methyl ether acetate (for example, Patent Document 2), alkyl alkoxypropionate, and the like are also used as a thinner composition (for example, Patent Document 3).

エチレングリコールモノエチルエーテルアセテートを用いる場合、溶解速度は優れているが、揮発性及び引火性が高く、白血球減少症等の造血器官に影響を与え、肝臓及び腎臓等の障害を招き、新生児においては発育遅延を起こし、弾性の生殖機能を損なうなど、生殖毒性を有するという問題がある。また、乳酸エチルは、粘度が高く、溶解速度が低いため、単独では十分な洗浄効果を得ることができないという問題がある。   When ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate is used, the dissolution rate is excellent, but it is highly volatile and flammable, affecting hematopoietic organs such as leukopenia, causing liver and kidney damage, and in newborns There is a problem of having reproductive toxicity, such as causing growth retardation and impairing elastic reproductive function. In addition, ethyl lactate has a problem that it cannot obtain a sufficient cleaning effect by itself because of its high viscosity and low dissolution rate.

したがって、液晶表示装置に使用されるガラス基板等及び半導体装置に使用されるウエハ等の周縁及び後面部位に使用されて、不必要に付着されたフォトレジストを短時間に効率的に除去できるシンナー組成物に関するさらなる研究が要求されているのが実情である。
特開昭63−69563号 特開平4−49938号 特開平4−42523号
Therefore, a thinner composition that can be used on the peripheral and rear surface portions of glass substrates and the like used in liquid crystal display devices and wafers and the like used in semiconductor devices, and efficiently remove unneeded photoresist in a short time. The fact is that further research on things is required.

以下に、本発明を詳細に説明する。
本発明のフォトレジスト除去用シンナー組成物は、少なくとも、a)アルキルアミド及びb)アルキルエタノエイトを含む。また、この組成物に、さらに、c)アルキレングリコールモノアルキルエーテルアセテートを含んでもよい。
The present invention is described in detail below.
The thinner composition for removing a photoresist of the present invention contains at least a) an alkyl amide and b) an alkyl ethanolate. Moreover, this composition may further contain c) alkylene glycol monoalkyl ether acetate.

本発明に使用されるアルキルアミド、アルキルエタノエイト及びアルキレングリコールモノアルキルエーテルアセテートはシンナー組成物に溶剤として使用され、各々半導体等級の極めて純粋なものを使用することが好ましく、VLSI等級では0.1μm水準に濾過したものを使用することが好ましい。   The alkyl amide, alkyl ethanolate and alkylene glycol monoalkyl ether acetate used in the present invention are used as solvents in the thinner composition, and each of them is preferably a semiconductor grade extremely pure one, and the VLSI grade is 0.1 μm. It is preferable to use the one filtered to the standard.

本発明に使用されるa)のアルキルアミドは、フォトレジストの初期溶解速度を高めて、液晶表示装置等に使用されるガラス基板及び半導体製造工程で発生する問題を補完する作用を果たす。   The alkylamide of a) used in the present invention increases the initial dissolution rate of the photoresist and serves to supplement the problems that occur in the glass substrate and semiconductor manufacturing processes used in liquid crystal display devices and the like.

アルキルアミドは、例えば、アルキル基の炭素数が1から5程度のアルキルアミドが挙げられる。具体的には、N−メチルアセトアミド、ジメチルホルムアミドまたはジメチルアセトアミドなどを用いることができる。なかでも、ジメチルアセトアミドが好ましい。これらは、単独で用いてもよいし、2種以上を混合して用いてもよい。
アルキルアミドは、シンナー組成物に1〜99重量部で含まれるのが好ましく、その含量が前記範囲内である場合には、揮発度及び溶解力の増加面でさらに良い。
Examples of the alkylamide include alkylamides having an alkyl group with about 1 to 5 carbon atoms. Specifically, N-methylacetamide, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, or the like can be used. Of these, dimethylacetamide is preferable. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
The alkylamide is preferably contained in the thinner composition in an amount of 1 to 99 parts by weight, and when the content is within the above range, it is even better in terms of increasing volatility and dissolving power.

本発明に使用されるb)のアルキルエタノエイトは、アルキル基の炭素数が1〜4程度であるものが挙げられる。具体的には、メチルエタノエイト、エチルエタノエイト、イソプロピルエタノエイト、ノルマルプロピルエタノエイトまたはブチルエタノエイトなどが挙げられる。特に、アルキルエタノエイトとして粘度が比較的低く、適当な揮発度を有するイソプロピルエタノエイト、ノルマルプロピルエタノエイトまたはブチルエタノエイトが好ましい。さらに、ブチルエタノエイトがより好ましい。これらは、単独で用いてもよいし、2種以上を混合して用いてもよい。   Examples of b) alkylethanoate used in the present invention include those in which the alkyl group has about 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Specific examples include methyl ethanoate, ethyl ethanoate, isopropyl ethanoate, normal propyl ethanoate, and butyl ethanoate. In particular, isopropyl ethanoate, normal propyl ethanoate or butyl ethanoate having a relatively low viscosity and appropriate volatility is preferred as the alkyl ethanoate. Furthermore, butyl ethanolate is more preferable. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

ブチルエタノエイトは各種樹脂に対する溶解度が優れており、特に表面張力が低いだけでなく、シンナー組成物に所定の含量のみを添加しても、優れた界面特性を発揮することができる。ブチルエタノエイトは、毒性実験においてマウスに口腔投与による50%致死量を示すLD50が7.0g/kgであり、物理的性質は沸点が126.1℃、引火点(クローズドカップ方式で測定)が23℃、粘度(25℃)が0.74cps、表面張力が25dyne/cm2である。 Butyl ethanoate has excellent solubility in various resins, and in particular, not only has a low surface tension, but also exhibits excellent interface characteristics even when only a predetermined content is added to the thinner composition. Butylethanoate has an LD 50 of 7.0 g / kg, which shows 50% lethal dose by oral administration to mice in toxicity experiments, and has physical properties of boiling point of 126.1 ° C., flash point (measured by closed cup method) Is 23 ° C., the viscosity (25 ° C.) is 0.74 cps, and the surface tension is 25 dyne / cm 2 .

アルキルエタノエイトは、シンナー組成物に1〜80重量部で含まれるのが好ましく、その含量が前記範囲である場合には適正な揮発力と溶解力を有するためフォトレジストの除去に効果的であるという利点がある。   Alkyl ethanoate is preferably contained in the thinner composition in an amount of 1 to 80 parts by weight, and when the content is within the above range, it has an appropriate volatility and dissolving power, so it is effective for removing the photoresist. There is an advantage.

また、本発明のフォトレジスト除去用シンナー組成物には、さらに、c)アルキレングリコールモノアルキルエーテルアセテートが含有されていてもよく、例えば、アルキレン基の炭素数が1から5程度のものが挙げられる。具体的には、プロピレングリコールモノメチルエーテルアセテート、プロピレングリコールモノエチルエーテルアセテート、プロピレングリコールモノプロピルエーテルアセテートまたはプロピレングリコールモノブチルエーテルアセテートなどが挙げられる。特に高分子に対する溶解度が卓越したプロピレングリコールモノメチルエーテルアセテートを使用するのが好ましい。これらは、単独で用いてもよいし、2種以上を混合して用いてもよい。   The thinner composition for removing a photoresist of the present invention may further contain c) an alkylene glycol monoalkyl ether acetate, and examples thereof include those having an alkylene group of about 1 to 5 carbon atoms. . Specific examples include propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, propylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, propylene glycol monopropyl ether acetate or propylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate. In particular, it is preferable to use propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate having excellent solubility in a polymer. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

プロピレングリコールモノメチルエーテルアセテートは、空気中に拡散した際、人体に対する安全性が高く、物質代謝側面でも人体で急速にプロピレングリコールとアルコールに分解されるため、安全である。また、毒性実験でマウスに対する口腔投与による50%致死量を示すLD50は8.5g/kgであり、加水分解によって急速に分解される。 Propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate is safe because it is highly safe for the human body when it diffuses into the air, and is rapidly decomposed into propylene glycol and alcohol by the human body in terms of substance metabolism. Moreover, LD 50 which shows 50% lethal dose by the oral administration with respect to a mouse | mouth in a toxicity experiment is 8.5 g / kg, and it decomposes | disassembles rapidly by hydrolysis.

アルキレングリコールモノアルキルエーテルアセテートは、シンナー組成物に1〜80重量部で含まれるのが好ましく、その含量が前記範囲内である場合には適正な揮発力と溶解力を有するためフォトレジストの除去にさらに効果的である。なお、アルキレングリコールモノアルキルエーテルアセテートを1〜80重量部で含有する場合には、アルキルアミドは1〜98重量部、アルキルエタノエイトは1〜80重量部含むことが好ましい。   The alkylene glycol monoalkyl ether acetate is preferably contained in the thinner composition in an amount of 1 to 80 parts by weight. When the content is within the above range, it has an appropriate volatilizing power and dissolving power, so that the photoresist can be removed. It is even more effective. In addition, when it contains 1 to 80 parts by weight of alkylene glycol monoalkyl ether acetate, it is preferable to contain 1 to 98 parts by weight of alkylamide and 1 to 80 parts by weight of alkyl ethanolate.

これらのようなシンナー組成物は、例えば、半導体装置又は液晶表示装置の製造工程において、これらを構成する基板に対して、滴下またはノズルを通じたスプレー方式で噴射することにより、例えば、基板のエッジ及び/又は後面部位等に発生した不必要なフォトレジストを除去することができる。   Thinner compositions such as these, for example, in the manufacturing process of a semiconductor device or a liquid crystal display device, are sprayed onto a substrate constituting them by a drop method or a spray method through a nozzle, for example, the edge of the substrate and Unnecessary photoresist generated at the rear surface portion or the like can be removed.

フォトレジスト除去用シンナー組成物の滴下あるいは噴射量は、使用する感光性樹脂の種類、膜の厚さ等によって調節して使用することができ、特に5〜100cc/分の範囲で選択して使用するのが好ましい。また、本発明においては、シンナー組成物を噴射した後、後続のフォトリソグラフィ工程を経ることにより、基板に微細回路パターンを形成することができる。   The dropping or spraying amount of the thinner composition for removing the photoresist can be adjusted and used depending on the type of the photosensitive resin used, the thickness of the film, etc., and particularly selected and used in the range of 5 to 100 cc / min.

以下、本発明の理解のために好ましい実施例を提示するが、下記の実施例は本発明を例示するものに過ぎず、本発明の範囲が下記の実施例に限定されるわけではない。   Hereinafter, preferred examples will be presented for the understanding of the present invention. However, the following examples are merely illustrative of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

実施例1
n−ブチルアセテート(nBA)70重量部及びジメチルアセトアミド(d、DMAc)30重量部を均一に混合してシンナー組成物を製造した。
Example 1
A thinner composition was prepared by uniformly mixing 70 parts by weight of n-butyl acetate (nBA) and 30 parts by weight of dimethylacetamide (d, DMAc).

実施例2〜7、及び比較例1〜5
表1に示した成分と組成比とを用いたことを除いて、実施例1と同様の方法でシンナー組成物を製造した。なお、表1の単位は重量部である。
Examples 2-7 and Comparative Examples 1-5
A thinner composition was produced in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the components and composition ratios shown in Table 1 were used. The units in Table 1 are parts by weight.

実施例1〜7及び比較例1〜5で製造したシンナー組成物を用いた不必要フォトレジスト除去(Edge Bead Removing、EBR)程度を測定するために、表2及び表3に示す条件でEBR実験を実施した。その結果を表4に示し。 In order to measure the degree of unnecessary photoresist removal (EBR) using the thinner compositions prepared in Examples 1 to 7 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5, EBR experiments were performed under the conditions shown in Table 2 and Table 3. Carried out. The results are shown in Table 4.

まず、直径が8インチの酸化シリコン基板を各々過酸化水素/硫酸混合物を含有する2つの浴で洗浄(それぞれの浴で5分間浸漬させる)した後、超純水ですすいだ。この工程は注文製作した洗浄設備で行った。   First, an 8-inch diameter silicon oxide substrate was washed with two baths each containing a hydrogen peroxide / sulfuric acid mixture (immersed in each bath for 5 minutes), and then rinsed with ultrapure water. This process was performed with a custom-made cleaning facility.

その後、これら基板をスピンドライヤー(SRD 1800−6、VERTEQ社)で回転乾燥させた。続いて、基板の上部面に表2に示した各々のフォトレジストを回転被覆器(EBR TRACK、コリョ半導体社)を使用して一定の厚さで被覆した。回転被覆操作においては、フォトレジスト10ccを、停止した基板の中央に滴下した後、回転被覆器を使用して500rpmで3秒間フォトレジストを分布させ、基板を約500〜1000rpm程度の回転速度に加速させて各フォトレジストを所定の厚さに調整した。この時、回転時間は約20〜30秒である。   Then, these substrates were spin-dried with a spin dryer (SRD 1800-6, VERTEQ). Subsequently, each photoresist shown in Table 2 was coated on the upper surface of the substrate with a certain thickness using a rotary coater (EBR TRACK, Koryo Semiconductor Co., Ltd.). In the spin coating operation, after 10 cc of photoresist is dropped on the center of the stopped substrate, the photo resist is distributed at 500 rpm for 3 seconds using a spin coater, and the substrate is accelerated to a rotational speed of about 500 to 1000 rpm. Each photoresist was adjusted to a predetermined thickness. At this time, the rotation time is about 20 to 30 seconds.

このように準備されたフォトレジストが被覆された基板に、実施例1〜7及び比較例1〜5で製造したシンナー組成物を各々噴射して、表3の条件でフォトレジストを除去した。この時、各々のシンナー組成物は圧力計が装置された加圧筒から供給され、加圧圧力は1.0kgf、EBRノズルから出るシンナー組成物の流量は10〜20cc/分とした。   The thinner compositions produced in Examples 1 to 7 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 were each sprayed on the substrate coated with the photoresist thus prepared, and the photoresist was removed under the conditions shown in Table 3. At this time, each thinner composition was supplied from a pressurizing cylinder equipped with a pressure gauge, the pressurizing pressure was 1.0 kgf, and the flow rate of the thinner composition exiting from the EBR nozzle was 10 to 20 cc / min.

表4から、本発明による実施例1〜7のシンナー組成物は、全てのフォトレジストに対して優れたEBR性能(EBR line uniformity)を示す。一方、比較例1〜5はフォトレジストに対する浸透現象を抑制することにおいて実施例に比べて性能が顕著に低下することが確認された。 From Table 4, the thinner compositions of Examples 1-7 according to the present invention exhibit excellent EBR performance (EBR line uniformity) for all photoresists. On the other hand, it was confirmed that the performance of Comparative Examples 1 to 5 was significantly reduced compared to the Examples in suppressing the penetration phenomenon to the photoresist.

本発明のフォトレジスト用シンナー組成物は、すべてのフォトレジストに対して適用することができる。従って、半導体装置(トランジスタ、キャパシタ、メモリ、発光素子、太陽電池等)、電子機器(各種ディスプレイ等)等の広範な製品の製造において、フォトレジストを利用する製造プロセスの全てにおいて利用することができる。
The thinner composition for photoresists of the present invention can be applied to all photoresists. Therefore, in manufacturing a wide range of products such as semiconductor devices (transistors, capacitors, memories, light emitting elements, solar cells, etc.), electronic devices (various displays, etc.), it can be used in all manufacturing processes using photoresist. .
