Description

本発明は、主として電子デバイス製造時の基板面上に付着した不要な有機物質並びに有機物質を含む汚染物質に対する薬液による除去、特にフォトリソグラフィ工程でのフォトレジスト膜の除去の高度化に関するものである。電子部品だけでなく精密部品のアセンブリに使われる半田フラックスのような有機物質の洗浄もこの除去技術の対象である。   The present invention mainly relates to the removal of unnecessary organic substances adhering to a substrate surface during the manufacture of electronic devices and contaminants containing organic substances by a chemical solution, and particularly to the advancement of removal of a photoresist film in a photolithography process. . This removal technology is also used to clean organic substances such as solder flux used in the assembly of not only electronic parts but also precision parts.

電子工業ではデバイス製造に際し、フォトリソグラフィを多数回反復実施することが多く、従ってその毎回に必要なレジスト剥離工程で、剥離が完全であること、デバイス機能にダメージを与えないことが求められ、また所要時間や経費も軽視出来ない。剥離対象のレジストは、ネガ型は分解能と環境負荷の点で漸次敬遠される傾向にあり、ポジ型が主流で、なかでも量的に多いのはノボラック樹脂系であり、化学増幅型のポリビニルフェノール樹脂系等が続いている。レジスト膜がドライエッチングや高濃度のイオン注入のマスクに使われると硬化変質するので、一般にこれらレジストの除去にはプラズマ励起酸素によるアッシングが行なわれている。しかしこの処理はデバイスへダメージを与えやすく、また加工を終えた面にはレジスト等に由来する残留物を生じるので、このダメージが比較的少ない剥離液による湿式処理が併用され、加熱した硫酸+過酸化水素による分解処理、或いは、アミン類、n−メチルピロリドン、ジメチルスルホキシド、炭酸プロピレン(ネガ型用)等を主剤とする有機溶媒による溶解処理が加工膜や下地の材質に応じて使われてきた。   In the electronics industry, photolithography is often repeated many times during device manufacturing. Therefore, it is required that the resist stripping process is complete and that the device function is not damaged each time. Time required and expenses cannot be neglected. As for the resist to be stripped, the negative type tends to be gradually withdrawn in terms of resolution and environmental load, the positive type is the mainstream, and most of which is a novolac resin type, and chemically amplified polyvinylphenol. Resin systems continue. When the resist film is used as a mask for dry etching or high-concentration ion implantation, it is hardened and deteriorated. Therefore, ashing with plasma-excited oxygen is generally performed to remove these resists. However, this treatment is likely to damage the device, and a residue derived from a resist or the like is formed on the finished surface. Therefore, a wet treatment with a stripping solution with relatively little damage is used in combination with heated sulfuric acid + excess. Decomposition treatment with hydrogen oxide, or dissolution treatment with an organic solvent mainly composed of amines, n-methylpyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide, propylene carbonate (for negative type), etc. has been used depending on the processed film and the material of the substrate .

しかし硫酸処理は大気や河川への汚染に関し大がかりな対策を必要とする他、多量のリンス用超純水を要するので、社会的・経済的に問題がある。上記溶媒の大部分は環境破壊や毒性等に関する問題から塩素系溶媒の代替物として登場したものであるが、それでも尚リンス排液の処理を含めて環境負荷が大きく、また有機溶媒自体が高価なので経済性がよくない。そこで有機溶媒による剥離では同一液で複数回の溶解処理を行ってから廃液を蒸留で再生して使用することが行われている。処理回数が増せばそれに比例して液中の溶質の量も増大する。この溶質の一部は必ずリンスに持込まれるので回を追うごとにリンス液の負担が増え、溶質等が再汚染する危険が増す。そこで繰返し可能な回数には限度があり通常多くて十数回である。またこの廃液の蒸留による回収が省資源と経済性から望まれるが、蒸留は必ずしも容易ではなく、有害な反応を伴うこともあって特別の対策が提案されている(特許文献1)ほどである。   However, the sulfuric acid treatment has a social and economic problem because it requires a large measure for pollution to the air and rivers and requires a large amount of ultrapure water for rinsing. Most of the above solvents have appeared as substitutes for chlorinated solvents due to problems related to environmental destruction and toxicity, but they still have a large environmental impact, including the treatment of rinse wastewater, and the organic solvents themselves are expensive. Not economical. Therefore, in the case of peeling with an organic solvent, a waste solution is regenerated by distillation after being used a plurality of times with the same solution. As the number of treatments increases, the amount of solute in the liquid also increases in proportion thereto. Since a part of the solute is always brought into the rinse, the burden of the rinse liquid increases with each turn, and the risk that the solute and the like are recontaminated increases. Therefore, there is a limit to the number of times that can be repeated, and it is usually at most a dozen times. Further, recovery of this waste liquid by distillation is desired from the viewpoint of resource saving and economy, but distillation is not always easy, and a special measure has been proposed as it may involve harmful reactions (Patent Document 1). .

上述のポジ型レジストはオゾンとの反応性がある。酢酸はこの種のレジストに対して溶解能は弱いが、オゾンを含むガス(以下オゾンガスと略称する)を通気すると室温でオゾン濃度が数百mg/Lにも達し、この高濃度にオゾンを溶解した酢酸は一般的なレジスト膜であれば5μm/分程度の速い剥離速度で除去出来,しかもレジストは水溶性のカルボン酸や水等に分解されてリンスの水の負担が軽くなる。しかも酢酸自体はオゾンとごく僅かしか反応しない。従って同一処理液により100回以上の繰返し剥離が可能で、省資源・経済性の点で好ましい方法となっている(特許文献2)。しかし、酢酸は蒸気圧が高く引火性もあるので装置面での負担が大きく,またオゾンを含む酢酸は銅配線等にダメージを与える。一方、環境負荷低減、省資源が期待される剥離法としてオゾン水処理が種種提案されているが、剥離速度が不足で、高圧下で作られた180mg/L高濃度オゾン水でも約1μm/分の剥離しかできない(非特許文献1)。   The positive resist described above is reactive with ozone. Acetic acid has a weak solubility in this type of resist, but when a gas containing ozone (hereinafter abbreviated as ozone gas) is vented, the ozone concentration reaches several hundred mg / L at room temperature, and ozone is dissolved at this high concentration. The acetic acid thus obtained can be removed at a high peeling rate of about 5 μm / min if it is a general resist film, and the resist is decomposed into water-soluble carboxylic acid, water, etc., and the load of rinsing water is reduced. Moreover, acetic acid itself reacts very little with ozone. Therefore, it can be repeatedly peeled 100 times or more with the same treatment liquid, which is a preferable method in terms of resource saving and economy (Patent Document 2). However, since acetic acid has a high vapor pressure and is flammable, the burden on the apparatus is large, and acetic acid containing ozone damages copper wiring and the like. On the other hand, various ozone water treatments have been proposed as a stripping method that is expected to reduce environmental impact and save resources, but the stripping rate is insufficient, and even 180 mg / L high-concentration ozone water produced under high pressure is about 1 μm / min. Can only be removed (Non-Patent Document 1).

約40℃の炭酸エチレン(融点36℃)ではオゾンは50mg/L程度で飽和するが、該液のレジスト剥離速度は前記オゾン飽和酢酸液の数倍と高性能化し、また該液中のオゾンは酢酸中と同様にレジストを低分子量物質に分解する。オゾンを含ませなくても既存有機溶媒系剥離液と同様に、液温を高くする程剥離性能が上がってオゾン処理以上の剥離速度も得られ、この場合剥離を終えた液にオゾンを溶解させれば多数回の繰返し剥離処理が可能である(特許文献3)。炭酸エチレン液は沸点が238℃、引火点は160℃で、80℃での蒸気圧は既存剥離液類の約1/10、150℃の高温湿式処理が可能であって、湿式処理では剥離が難しいとされているBの1×1015/cmイオン注入による硬化変質レジスト膜が約2分の浸漬で剥離できる。また銅配線にはダメージを与えず、かつ引火の危険がほとんどない(消防法の危険物に該当しない)という利点がある。炭酸アルキレンで同族列の炭酸プロピレンやそれと炭酸エチレンとの混合液も、炭酸エチレンには剥離性能は劣るが、同様のオゾン処理による多数回の循環使用が可能である。 In ethylene carbonate of about 40 ° C (melting point 36 ° C), ozone is saturated at about 50 mg / L, but the resist stripping rate of the solution is several times higher than the ozone saturated acetic acid solution, and the ozone in the solution is The resist is decomposed into low molecular weight substances as in acetic acid. Even if ozone is not included, as with existing organic solvent-based stripping solutions, the higher the temperature, the higher the stripping performance and the higher the stripping rate than ozone treatment. In this case, ozone is dissolved in the stripped solution. If this is the case, repeated peeling treatment can be performed many times (Patent Document 3). The ethylene carbonate liquid has a boiling point of 238 ° C., a flash point of 160 ° C., and the vapor pressure at 80 ° C. is about 1/10 that of existing stripping liquids, and high-temperature wet processing at 150 ° C. is possible. A hardened and altered resist film obtained by 1 × 10 15 / cm 2 ion implantation of B + which is considered difficult can be peeled off by immersion for about 2 minutes. In addition, there is an advantage that the copper wiring is not damaged and there is almost no risk of ignition (not applicable to the dangerous materials of the Fire Service Act). The mixed solution of propylene carbonate in the same series of alkylene carbonate and ethylene carbonate is also inferior in peeling performance to ethylene carbonate, but can be used many times by similar ozone treatment.

半田フラックスが付着した精密部品や硬化前のエポキシ樹脂等の対する洗浄には、かっては塩素系溶媒やフロン系溶媒が使われていたが、毒性や環境問題等から代替洗浄剤として、重合体をよく溶解する極性非プロトン溶媒の上記剥離液類やγ−ブチロラクトン等が登場している。蒸留再生のような廃液回収の点からは、洗浄能力がやや劣っても助剤の無い処理液が好ましい。単独液でもγ-ブチロラクトンでは特許文献4がフラックス洗浄に、特許文献5が未硬化エポキシ樹脂洗浄に、また特許文献6で炭酸アルキレンが両者の洗浄に有効としている。しかし、完全な付着物除去には液の加熱や数十KHz超音波の強い併用を必要としており、複雑な回路基板やナノデバイス等での適用では機能にダメージを与える危険がある。

Chlorine solvents and chlorofluorocarbon solvents have been used to clean precision parts with solder flux and epoxy resin before curing, but polymers have been used as alternative cleaning agents due to toxicity and environmental problems. The above-described stripping solutions of polar aprotic solvents that dissolve well, γ-butyrolactone, and the like have appeared. From the viewpoint of waste liquid recovery such as distillation regeneration, a treatment liquid without an auxiliary agent is preferable even if the cleaning ability is slightly inferior. Even in a single solution, in γ-butyrolactone, Patent Document 4 is effective for cleaning flux, Patent Document 5 is effective for cleaning uncured epoxy resin, and Patent Document 6 is effective for cleaning both. However, complete removal of deposits requires heating of the liquid and strong use of several tens of kilohertz ultrasonic waves, and there is a risk of damaging the function when applied to a complicated circuit board or nanodevice.

上記のように炭酸エチレン液によれば、高濃度のイオン注入で硬化変質したレジスト膜を150℃の高温処理により数分で剥離できる。しかし、この温度では蒸気圧が40mmHg以上になり、装置の構造上の負担が大きい。また炭酸エチレン処理では、溶解レジストをオゾンで分解出来て多数回の繰返し除去処理が可能なところに大きな利点があるが、特許文献3に示されているようにオゾン処理では液温が高いほど液との反応で酸化性物質の発生が多くなるので、融点に近い約40℃での処理が必要となる。従って、高温処理と40℃処理を繰返す循環処理となり熱損失が問題となる。剥離処理の液温とオゾンによるレジスト分解処理の液温は同じであって共に室温に近いほど好ましいといえる。   As described above, according to the ethylene carbonate solution, the resist film cured and altered by high-concentration ion implantation can be removed in a few minutes by high-temperature treatment at 150 ° C. However, at this temperature, the vapor pressure is 40 mmHg or more, and the structural burden on the apparatus is large. The ethylene carbonate treatment has a great advantage in that the dissolved resist can be decomposed with ozone and can be repeatedly removed many times. However, as shown in Patent Document 3, the higher the liquid temperature, the higher the liquid temperature. As a result, the generation of an oxidizing substance increases, so that a treatment at about 40 ° C. close to the melting point is required. Therefore, it becomes a circulation process that repeats the high-temperature treatment and the 40 ° C. treatment, and heat loss becomes a problem. It can be said that the liquid temperature of the stripping process and the liquid temperature of the resist decomposition process using ozone are the same and are preferably closer to room temperature.

オゾンとの反応で炭酸エチレン中に発生する酸化性物質は本発明者が検討した結果、有機過酸化物であることが分かった。この過酸化物自体はレジスト除去能力に殆ど影響しないが、同一液でオゾン処理を繰返すと順次その濃度が増す。有機過酸化物は一般に重合開始剤なので、その濃度が高まるとオゾン反応による中間生成物が重合して厄介な異物質が生成する危険がある。これは剥離速度を低下させたり、リンス効果を妨げたり、また液循環系に汚染を発生させたりして、循環処理の寿命を縮める為好ましくない。炭酸アルキレンで比較的過酸化物が発生しないのはこの炭酸エチレン液ではあるが、出来る限りこの発生を抑制する必要がある。   As a result of the study by the present inventors, it has been found that the oxidizing substance generated in ethylene carbonate by the reaction with ozone is an organic peroxide. This peroxide itself has little influence on the resist removing ability, but its concentration increases successively when ozone treatment is repeated with the same solution. Since an organic peroxide is generally a polymerization initiator, there is a risk that an intermediate product due to the ozone reaction is polymerized and a troublesome foreign substance is generated when its concentration increases. This is not preferable because it decreases the peeling rate, hinders the rinsing effect, and causes contamination in the liquid circulation system, thereby shortening the life of the circulation treatment. It is this ethylene carbonate liquid that does not generate peroxides relatively in alkylene carbonate, but it is necessary to suppress this generation as much as possible.

この炭酸エチレン処理の本質的な欠点は、その融点が36℃の為、液だけでなく装置の主要部について常時40℃程度に保温する必要があることで、これは装置コストや保守の点で好ましくない。この対策として特許文献3では融点−49℃が特徴の炭酸プロピレン及び液状が維持できる混合比の炭酸エチレン・炭酸プロピレン混合溶媒による室温でのオゾン処理が提案されている。後者であれば25℃でのオゾン通気でかなり高いオゾン濃度が得られるが、一方処理温度が低いので溶解能力が落ち、結局レジスト剥離能力は若干低下する。炭酸プロピレンでもオゾン分解による多数回繰返し処理は可能ではあるが、室温処理でも過酸化物を発生しやすく、循環可能回数は劣る。特に問題なのは、炭酸プロピレンを含む剥離液でオゾン通気処理した後直接水でリンスすると、剥離面に白膜状の残存物を生じることが多いことである。その場合は水リンスの前に新しい剥離液で処理済液を確実に置換する必要がある。従ってオゾン通気による炭酸プロピレン系の室温処理は適用が限定される。   The essential drawback of this ethylene carbonate treatment is that the melting point is 36 ° C, so that it is necessary to keep the main part of the equipment as well as the liquid at about 40 ° C at all times. This is in terms of equipment cost and maintenance. It is not preferable. As a countermeasure, Patent Document 3 proposes ozone treatment at room temperature with propylene carbonate characterized by a melting point of −49 ° C. and an ethylene carbonate / propylene carbonate mixed solvent having a mixing ratio capable of maintaining a liquid state. In the latter case, a considerably high ozone concentration can be obtained by aeration with ozone at 25 ° C., but on the other hand, since the processing temperature is low, the dissolving ability is lowered, and the resist stripping ability is slightly lowered. Propylene carbonate can be repeatedly treated many times by ozonolysis, but peroxides are likely to be generated even at room temperature treatment, and the number of cycles that can be circulated is poor. A particular problem is that when an ozone aeration treatment is performed with a stripping solution containing propylene carbonate and then direct rinsing with water, a white film-like residue is often produced on the stripped surface. In that case, it is necessary to reliably replace the treated solution with a new stripping solution before rinsing with water. Therefore, the application of the room temperature treatment of propylene carbonate system by ozone ventilation is limited.

本発明は、上記の硬化変質したレジスト膜が特に液を加熱しなくても室温で剥離できるほど剥離能力の向上した炭酸エチレン含有改良処理液とそれによる除去処理方法を提供するもので、しかもその処理液に移行した有機物質はオゾンにより分解されて液が再使用でき、その際の過酸化物の発生を低減して多数回繰返し処理能力も上記炭酸エチレン処理を超える、基体表面上に付着する有機物質の除去法の高度化を課題としている。   The present invention provides an ethylene carbonate-containing improved treatment solution having an improved peeling ability so that the cured and altered resist film can be peeled off at room temperature without heating the solution, and a removal treatment method thereby. The organic substance transferred to the treatment liquid is decomposed by ozone, and the liquid can be reused. At that time, the generation of peroxides is reduced, and the treatment capacity is repeated many times, and adheres to the surface of the substrate exceeding the ethylene carbonate treatment. The challenge is to improve the removal of organic substances.

上記課題を解決するために、本発明はまず、表面に有機系付着物を有する基体に、重量比85/15乃至55/45の炭酸エチレン(以下ECと略記することがある)とγ−ブチロラクトン(以下GBLと略記することがある)とからなる混合溶媒を含む処理液を接触させて、前記付着物を溶解作用で剥離する除去方法を基礎的な特徴として提供する。   In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, first, the present invention provides a substrate having an organic deposit on the surface, ethylene carbonate (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as EC) having a weight ratio of 85/15 to 55/45, and γ-butyrolactone. (Abbreviated as GBL hereinafter) is brought into contact with a processing solution containing a mixed solvent, and a removal method for peeling the deposits by a dissolving action is provided as a basic feature.

本発明が提供する上記重量比の混合溶媒は以下の4種の混合溶媒で代表させることが出来る。
(1)EC85w%GBL15w%(以下85/15液と略称することがある)
(2)EC75w%GBL25w%(以下75/25液と略称することがある)
(3)EC65w%GBL35w%(以下65/35液と略称することがある)
(4)EC55w%GBL45w%(以下55/45液と略称することがある)
炭酸エチレンに添加した副成分のγ-ブチロラクトンは凝固点が−41.5℃で、図1は本発明者が作成した常圧におけるこの混合溶媒の凝固点図である。75/25液の凝固点は21℃で、65/35液、55/45液の凝固点はこれ以下である。空調が施されている通常の工場内では21℃以下の環境にはならないので、これらは常時液状で使用できる。また85/15液の凝固点は27℃であるが平均的な作業環境の制御温度25℃(以下室温と記載された処理は総て25℃の処理である)では過冷却により概ね液状で、若干の炭酸エチレン結晶の析出がある場合でも本出願の処理では通常問題は起こらない。
The mixed solvent of the above weight ratio provided by the present invention can be represented by the following four mixed solvents.
(1) EC85w% GBL15w% (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as 85/15 solution)
(2) EC 75 w% GBL 25 w% (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as 75/25 liquid)
(3) EC 65 w% GBL 35 w% (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as 65/35 liquid)
(4) EC 55 w% GBL 45 w% (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as 55/45 liquid)
The secondary component γ-butyrolactone added to ethylene carbonate has a freezing point of −41.5 ° C., and FIG. 1 is a freezing point diagram of this mixed solvent at normal pressure prepared by the present inventor. The freezing point of the 75/25 liquid is 21 ° C., and the freezing points of the 65/35 liquid and 55/45 liquid are below this. In an ordinary factory where air conditioning is performed, the environment does not become 21 ° C. or lower, so these can always be used in a liquid state. The 85/15 solution has a freezing point of 27 ° C., but at an average working environment control temperature of 25 ° C. (hereinafter, all treatments described as room temperature are treatments at 25 ° C.), it is almost liquid due to supercooling, Even if there is precipitation of ethylene carbonate crystals, there is usually no problem with the process of this application.

本発明は、まず、室温で準備された前記処理液により高い剥離性能が得られる除去処理法の提供が主旨で、二つの基本的な剥離法よりなっている。第1の特徴として、本発明は、基礎的な特徴として上記した除去方法であって、該基体と該処理液との接触が該基体の表面上に該処理液の液層を形成することによってなされ、放射エネルギーのピークの波長が0.24〜2μmである光線を該液層を通して該表面に、断続的に、および/または該基体と該光線とを相対的に移動させながら照射する除去方法を提供する。該基体は平板上の基体であってもよい。この除去方法は、所謂枚葉処理に適している。該光線の照射は断続的に、および/または該基体と該光線とを相対的に移動させながら行われるので、処理液層全体は僅かしか昇温しない。一方、基体表面と該表面に近接する領域の処理液は急激に昇温して、前記付着物は光エネルギーにより強化された溶解作用で該表面から剥離する。この方法が有効であることは、高温加熱した本処理液を用いる方法にも顕著な効果があることを示している。
さらに、基体上の付着物の剥離処理で該剥離物質を取込んだ排出処理液にオゾンを含むガスを好ましくは22〜27℃の処理液温度で通気して該物質を低分子量物質に分解し、該分解済み処理液を別の基体を処理する再生処理液として使用し、多数回の繰返し能力を向上させる除去方法が示されている。即ち、該処理液は循環使用することができる。処理液に超音波を照射しながらオゾンを含むガスを通気することで、該付着物の低分子量物質への分解を促進させることができる。超音波としては、例えば、20〜400KHzの超音波が挙げられる。
The present invention is primarily composed of two basic stripping methods, with the main purpose being to provide a stripping treatment method in which high stripping performance can be obtained with the processing solution prepared at room temperature. As a first feature, the present invention is a removal method described above as a basic feature, wherein the contact between the substrate and the treatment liquid forms a liquid layer of the treatment solution on the surface of the substrate. A method of removing a light beam having a peak wavelength of radiant energy of 0.24 to 2 μm that is irradiated through the liquid layer to the surface intermittently and / or while relatively moving the substrate and the light beam. I will provide a. The substrate may be a substrate on a flat plate. This removal method is suitable for so-called single wafer processing. Since the irradiation of the light beam is performed intermittently and / or while the substrate and the light beam are moved relative to each other, the temperature of the entire treatment liquid layer is slightly increased. On the other hand, the treatment liquid in the substrate surface and the region adjacent to the surface is rapidly heated, and the deposits are separated from the surface by a dissolving action enhanced by light energy. The effectiveness of this method indicates that the method using the present treatment liquid heated at a high temperature has a remarkable effect.
Furthermore, a gas containing ozone is preferably passed through the discharge treatment liquid that has taken in the release substance in the release treatment of the deposit on the substrate at a treatment liquid temperature of preferably 22 to 27 ° C. to decompose the substance into a low molecular weight substance. There is shown a removal method in which the decomposed processing solution is used as a regenerating processing solution for processing another substrate to improve the repeatability many times. That is, the treatment liquid can be recycled. By aeration of a gas containing ozone while irradiating the treatment liquid with ultrasonic waves, decomposition of the deposit into a low molecular weight substance can be promoted. As an ultrasonic wave, an ultrasonic wave of 20-400 KHz is mentioned, for example.

また本発明剥離法の第2の特徴として、多数の基体を同時に処理する所謂バッチ処理に適し、その室温処理を可能にする付着物除去方法が示される。即ち、本発明は、基礎的な特徴として上記した除去方法であって、該処理液がオゾン濃度20mg/L以上のオゾン含有処理液である方法を提供する。該オゾン含有処理液を該基体に接触させることにより、前記付着物は、溶解されると同時にオゾンの作用で低分子量物質に分解される。オゾンを処理液に溶解させるときの液温は22〜27℃であることが好ましい。
この方法においては、オゾンを100mg/L以上の濃度で含むガスを継続的に該処理液に通気して処理液中の該オゾン濃度を維持しながら、該基体を該処理液に浸漬することにより該基体に対し該処理液を接触させてもよい。また、該基体が平板状の基体であり、該平板状の基体の少なくとも一方の片面が該有機系付着物を有する場合には、該有機系付着物を有する片面と該オゾン含有処理液との接触を、該片面のみを或いは該片面と該片面とは反対側の片面とを液膜状の該オゾン含有処理液で被った状態で、該基体を濃度100mg/L以上のオゾンを含有するガス中に保持することにより行ってもよい。このようにすることで、該処理液中のオゾン濃度を20mg/L以上に維持することができ、該付着物の除去および該付着物の低分子量物質への分解を効果的に行うことができる。
この方法によって基体表面上の付着物を除去した後の処理液においては該有機系付着物が低分子量物質に分解されているので、該処理液は別の基体を処理するための処理液として循環使用することができる。該有機系付着物の分解を更に十分に進行させるためには、付着物を除去した後の処理液にオゾンを含むガスを通気してもよい。通気時の処理液温度、オゾン濃度などの条件は上記と同様のものとすることができる。オゾン含有処理液により有機系付着物の除去・分解を行う場合、または、該付着物を除去した後の処理液にオゾンを含むガスを通気する場合には、処理液に超音波を照射してもよい。これにより、該付着物の低分子量物質への分解を促進させることができる。超音波としては、例えば、20〜400KHzの超音波が挙げられる。
Further, as a second feature of the peeling method of the present invention, there is shown a deposit removing method which is suitable for so-called batch processing in which a large number of substrates are simultaneously processed and enables room temperature processing. That is, the present invention provides the above-described removal method as a basic feature, wherein the treatment liquid is an ozone-containing treatment liquid having an ozone concentration of 20 mg / L or more. By bringing the ozone-containing treatment liquid into contact with the substrate, the deposit is dissolved and simultaneously decomposed into a low molecular weight substance by the action of ozone. The liquid temperature when ozone is dissolved in the treatment liquid is preferably 22 to 27 ° C.
In this method, a gas containing ozone at a concentration of 100 mg / L or more is continuously passed through the treatment liquid, and the substrate is immersed in the treatment liquid while maintaining the ozone concentration in the treatment liquid. The treatment liquid may be brought into contact with the substrate. When the substrate is a flat substrate and at least one surface of the flat substrate has the organic deposit, the one surface having the organic deposit and the ozone-containing treatment liquid A gas containing ozone having a concentration of 100 mg / L or more in a state in which only one side or one side and one side opposite to the one side is covered with the ozone-containing treatment liquid in the form of a liquid film. You may carry out by hold | maintaining in. By doing in this way, the ozone concentration in the treatment liquid can be maintained at 20 mg / L or more, and removal of the deposit and decomposition of the deposit into a low molecular weight substance can be performed effectively. .
In the treatment liquid after the deposit on the substrate surface is removed by this method, the organic deposit is decomposed into a low molecular weight substance, so that the treatment liquid is circulated as a treatment liquid for treating another substrate. Can be used. In order to further sufficiently decompose the organic deposit, a gas containing ozone may be passed through the treatment liquid after the deposit is removed. Conditions such as the treatment liquid temperature and ozone concentration during aeration can be the same as described above. When removing or decomposing organic deposits with an ozone-containing treatment liquid, or when a gas containing ozone is passed through the treatment liquid after removing the deposits, irradiate the treatment liquid with ultrasonic waves. Also good. Thereby, decomposition | disassembly to this low molecular weight substance of this deposit can be accelerated | stimulated. As an ultrasonic wave, an ultrasonic wave of 20-400 KHz is mentioned, for example.

オゾン処理の低温化で過酸化物の発生が低減できて繰返し処理での液の寿命が格段に伸びると、レジスト自体の不純物や装置からの汚染に由来する金属元素が処理液に蓄積して基体表面に吸着汚染する危険を生じる。これを防止するために、本発明の除去方法で処理液を循環使用する場合には、除去処理対象基体の表面の構成材料と同質の或いは近似した材料からなる微粉を充填した1個または複数個の金属不純物吸着筒と、該微粉の流出を阻止する後続の精密フィルターとに該処理液を通すことによって、該処理液に蓄積する金属不純物の濃度を減少させることができる。該金属不純物吸着筒と該精密フィルターとで構成した吸着純化機構を、多数回繰返して有機物質除去処理を行なう液循環系のバイパスとして配備し、随時に稼動させる精製手段として用いれば、該処理液に蓄積する金属不純物の濃度を減少させることができる。
更に、オゾンによる多数回再生処理が施されて廃液化した処理液を下記のとおりに再生して本発明除去方法の処理液として用いることができる。即ち、

ことにより調製した、重量比85/15乃至55/45の炭酸エチレンとγ−ブチロラクトンとからなる混合溶媒を含む処理液を本発明の除去方法に用いることができる。
If the generation of peroxides can be reduced by lowering the ozone treatment and the life of the solution in the repeated treatment is significantly increased, impurities in the resist itself and metal elements derived from contamination from the equipment accumulate in the treatment solution and the substrate There is a risk of adsorbing contamination on the surface. In order to prevent this, when the treatment liquid is circulated and used in the removal method of the present invention, one or more filled with fine powders made of the same or similar material as the constituent material of the surface of the substrate to be removed. The concentration of metal impurities accumulated in the treatment liquid can be reduced by passing the treatment liquid through the metal impurity adsorption cylinder and the subsequent precision filter that prevents the fine powder from flowing out. If the adsorption purification mechanism composed of the metal impurity adsorption cylinder and the precision filter is deployed as a bypass of a liquid circulation system that repeatedly performs organic substance removal treatment many times, and used as a purification means that operates as needed, the treatment liquid It is possible to reduce the concentration of metal impurities accumulated in the substrate.

本発明は特許文献3で提供された環境にやさしい炭酸エチレン処理の改良である。その弱点であった常時保温を要する問題は本発明のγ-ブチロラクトンを添加した混合溶剤処理液で解決された。これにより、まず装置構造の複雑化の不利を避け得た。しかも強調すべきは、該処理液は1×1015/cm程度の高濃度のイオン注入がなされた硬化変質レジスト膜すら室温で剥離できるほどの高性能除去処理を可能にしたことである。従来このような変質膜を有機溶媒により剥離出来る処理は、数種の混合により剥離能力の最適化を図り、さらに引火点近くまで加熱することを必要とした。本発明の除去方法は明らかに有機溶媒による常套的手法の剥離能力を超えている。 The present invention is an improvement of the environment-friendly ethylene carbonate treatment provided in Patent Document 3. The problem requiring constant heat retention, which was the weak point, was solved by the mixed solvent treatment liquid to which γ-butyrolactone of the present invention was added. As a result, the disadvantage of the complexity of the device structure can be avoided. Moreover, it should be emphasized that the processing solution enabled a high-performance removal process that can be peeled off even at room temperature even in a hardened and denatured resist film that has been ion-implanted at a high concentration of about 1 × 10 15 / cm 2 . Conventionally, the treatment capable of peeling such a modified film with an organic solvent required optimization of the peeling ability by mixing several kinds of materials and further heating to near the flash point. The removal method of the present invention clearly exceeds the stripping ability of conventional methods with organic solvents.

γ-ブチロラクトンが高分子に対して優れた溶解性を有することはつとに知られている。本混合溶媒は、性質の若干異なる環状エステルの溶解性能の相乗効果により、炭酸エチレン単独よりも溶解能力が向上していることはいうまでもない。しかし本混合溶媒が上記で強調された室温処理での高い剥離効果を招来したのは、むしろ以下に列記する従来の剥離用溶媒と著しく異なる特性に基づく。
1.高沸点(238℃)を有する炭酸エチレンに約30℃低い沸点(204℃)を有するγ-ブチロラクトンが混在している。
2.近赤外線・可視光・近紫外線の広い領域に亘って透明である。
3.炭酸エチレンは高温では粘度が極端に低下し180℃で0.4cP程度となるが、本混合溶媒では粘度が更に0.03cP程度低下し、低い粘度が活用されている室温でのアセトン並になる。
4.室温でオゾンガスを通気すると、炭酸エチレン液よりも迅速にオゾン濃度が立ち上がりかつ約50%高い濃度でオゾンが溶解する。またオゾン溶解挙動がγ-ブチロラクトンとは大きく違い、通気が続いても濃度が低下しないので室温20分程度の連続処理にも適している。通気停止30秒後のオゾン残存率は、γ-ブチロラクトンでは0%であるのに対し、本混合溶媒では80%近くまで向上するので、オゾン溶液を輸送して利用出来る。
5.オゾンを溶解するとき発生する過酸化物量が比較的少なく、室温で20分オゾンガスを通気しても40℃炭酸エチレンに5分通気した時と同程度である。
It is known that γ-butyrolactone has excellent solubility in polymers. Needless to say, this mixed solvent has improved solubility compared to ethylene carbonate alone due to the synergistic effect of the dissolution performance of cyclic esters having slightly different properties. However, the reason why the present mixed solvent has brought about the high peeling effect in the room temperature treatment emphasized above is rather based on characteristics remarkably different from the conventional peeling solvents listed below.
1. The ethylene carbonate having a high boiling point (238 ° C.) is mixed with γ-butyrolactone having a boiling point lower by about 30 ° C. (204 ° C.).
2. It is transparent over a wide range of near infrared, visible light, and near ultraviolet light.
3. Ethylene carbonate has an extremely low viscosity at a high temperature of about 0.4 cP at 180 ° C., but with this mixed solvent, the viscosity is further reduced by about 0.03 cP, which is similar to acetone at room temperature where low viscosity is utilized. .
4). When ozone gas is passed at room temperature, the ozone concentration rises more rapidly than the ethylene carbonate solution, and ozone dissolves at a concentration approximately 50% higher. Also, the ozone dissolution behavior is significantly different from that of γ-butyrolactone, and the concentration does not decrease even if aeration continues, so it is suitable for continuous treatment at room temperature of about 20 minutes. The residual ratio of ozone 30 seconds after the stop of ventilation is 0% for γ-butyrolactone, while it is improved to nearly 80% for this mixed solvent, so that the ozone solution can be transported and used.
5). The amount of peroxide generated when ozone is dissolved is relatively small, and even if ozone gas is passed for 20 minutes at room temperature, it is about the same as when it is passed for 5 minutes through 40 ° C. ethylene carbonate.

1〜3の特性を活かしたのが、第1の特徴として示された処理液層越しの光照射により基板・液接触領域だけを200℃近くまで急熱する剥離法である。光の照射制御はγ-ブチロラクトンの微量発泡(沸点)を利用して適正化できる。枚葉処理に適し、150℃炭酸エチレンの浸漬で剥離に2分を要した上記硬化変質レジストは、室温で準備した75/25液で1分以内に剥離できる。この高温状態の液界面では低粘度化で濡れ性が著しく向上して微細なヴィア孔や配線溝の中のレジスト変質物を含む汚染物質の排除が可能になる。界面の液の流動を妨げる境界層の厚さは粘度の平方根に比例するので、超低粘度化は境界層を薄めて微細凹部内の汚染物の運び出しに寄与する。液層の厚さにもよるが液全体の温度は通常数℃程度しか上昇せず、室温付近での蒸気圧は低いので処理による液の損失は殆ど無い。処理後の排液は容易に室温に戻りそのままオゾンガス通気すると液のオゾン濃度は高濃度まで迅速に立ち上がって効率よいレジスト分解が出来る。多数回繰り返し処理が全工程室温で出来、熱損失問題が無くなって循環処理による経済効果はさらに向上する。
本処理液の炭酸エチレン単独液に対する有機系付着物除去能力の優位性は液が高温になるほど高まる。これは上記の記載から当然の帰結である。クリーブランド開放式引火点試験で測定された75/25液の引火点は131℃である、即ち、130℃を超えるので、130℃以下の、好ましくは120℃以下の処理液は安全に使用できる。燐が高濃度イオン注入された硬化変質レジスト膜のような剥離の特に難しい付着物を生産性よく除くには、高温液で高圧噴射ノズルや2流体ジェットノズルで衝撃を与えつつ接触を行うことが極めて有効である。ただ、この場合、処理済液中のレジストをオゾンで分解するときには、過酸化物発生を抑制するために、液を22〜27℃に冷却することを要し、エネルギー損失が多くなる点が問題である。これに対して本発明者は、通気するオゾン含有ガスを十分に冷却してバブリングさせることにより、液を冷却することなく、実質的に過酸化物発生が抑制できることを見出した。冷却されたオゾン含有ガスの温度としては、例えば、−40〜20℃、好ましくは−30〜15℃が挙げられる。なお、上記高温液に超音波を照射しながら該基体に対し該高温液を接触させてもよい。
The peeling method in which only the substrate / liquid contact area is rapidly heated to nearly 200 ° C. by light irradiation through the processing liquid layer, which is shown as the first feature, utilizes the characteristics 1 to 3. The irradiation control of light can be optimized using the micro-foaming (boiling point) of γ-butyrolactone. The above-mentioned cured and altered resist, which is suitable for single wafer processing and required 2 minutes for peeling by immersion in ethylene carbonate at 150 ° C., can be peeled off within 1 minute with a 75/25 solution prepared at room temperature. At this high temperature liquid interface, the viscosity is lowered and the wettability is remarkably improved, so that contaminants including fine via holes and altered resist in the wiring trenches can be eliminated. Since the thickness of the boundary layer that hinders the flow of liquid at the interface is proportional to the square root of the viscosity, ultra-low viscosity contributes to carrying out contaminants in the fine recess by thinning the boundary layer. Although depending on the thickness of the liquid layer, the temperature of the entire liquid usually rises only about several degrees Celsius, and since the vapor pressure near room temperature is low, there is almost no loss of liquid due to the treatment. The drained liquid after processing easily returns to room temperature and ozone gas is passed as it is, so that the ozone concentration of the liquid quickly rises to a high concentration and can efficiently decompose the resist. The process can be repeated many times at room temperature, eliminating the heat loss problem and further improving the economic effect of the circulation process.
The superiority of the organic deposit removal ability of the treatment liquid over the ethylene carbonate alone liquid increases as the liquid temperature increases. This is a natural consequence of the above description. The 75/25 liquid flash point measured in the Cleveland open-type flash point test is 131 ° C., that is, exceeds 130 ° C., so that a treatment liquid of 130 ° C. or lower, preferably 120 ° C. or lower can be used safely. To remove deposits that are particularly difficult to peel off, such as hardened degenerated resist films in which phosphorus is ion-implanted in high concentration, with high productivity, it is necessary to perform contact with high-temperature liquid while impacting with a high-pressure jet nozzle or two-fluid jet nozzle. It is extremely effective. However, in this case, when the resist in the treated liquid is decomposed with ozone, it is necessary to cool the liquid to 22 to 27 ° C. in order to suppress the generation of peroxide, and the energy loss increases. It is. On the other hand, the present inventor has found that the generation of peroxide can be substantially suppressed without cooling the liquid by sufficiently cooling and bubbling the ozone-containing gas. Examples of the temperature of the cooled ozone-containing gas include −40 to 20 ° C., preferably −30 to 15 ° C. The high temperature liquid may be brought into contact with the substrate while irradiating the high temperature liquid with ultrasonic waves.

4,5の特性を活かしたのが、第2の特徴として示された27℃以下22℃以上の液にオゾンガスを通気したオゾン含有処理液に基体を接触させて、例えば浸漬して、付着物の溶解とオゾンによる分解を同時に行なう剥離法である。室温で準備した75/25液に上記硬化変質レジストの付着した基板を浸漬して濃度200mg/Lのオゾンガスを通気すると、20分で剥離し、この間にレジストは完全に分解して、また20分処理でも過酸化物発生は炭酸エチレンの5分処理並であるから、変質レジストに対しても満足な多数回繰り返し剥離処理が出来る。処理時間が長くても一般に広く使われてきた25枚程度のバッチ処理のタクト式多槽浸漬洗浄装置にはむしろ適合しており、十分な生産性と経済性で容易に実施可能である。   Utilizing the characteristics 4 and 5, the substrate is brought into contact with an ozone-containing treatment liquid in which ozone gas is aerated in a liquid of 27 ° C. or lower and 22 ° C. or higher, which is shown as the second feature, for example, by dipping, and deposits Is a peeling method that simultaneously dissolves and decomposes by ozone. When the substrate having the cured altered resist adhered thereto is immersed in a 75/25 solution prepared at room temperature and ozone gas having a concentration of 200 mg / L is vented, it is peeled off in 20 minutes, and during this time, the resist is completely decomposed and 20 minutes. Even in the treatment, the generation of peroxide is the same as the 5-minute treatment of ethylene carbonate, so that the resist can be repeatedly peeled many times satisfactorily for the altered resist. Even if the processing time is long, it is rather suitable for a batch processing tact type multi-tank immersion cleaning apparatus of about 25 batches that has been widely used, and can be easily implemented with sufficient productivity and economy.

この室温処理では、レジスト変質の程度及びその有無に応じて通常は初めのオゾン濃度立ち上りを含めて1分乃至5分程度で剥離と分解が可能であるから、過酸化物発生はかなり低減する。従って剥離性能に関する限り多数回繰返し処理能力は40℃炭酸エチレン処理の場合に比べ50%以上向上する。繰返し処理での液の寿命が格段に伸びると、レジスト自体の不純物等による金属元素が液に蓄積して基体に吸着汚染する危険を生じるが、本発明では金属不純物吸着筒で精製する純化機構を液循環系のバイパスとして配備することも出来るので、液長寿命化による経済的また省資源効果は明らかで、本発明による繰返し処理能力向上の課題は達成された。   In this room temperature treatment, depending on the degree of resist alteration and the presence / absence of the resist, it is possible to remove and decompose normally in about 1 to 5 minutes including the first rise of ozone concentration, and thus the generation of peroxide is considerably reduced. Therefore, as far as the peeling performance is concerned, the ability to repeat many times is improved by 50% or more compared to the case of 40 ° C. ethylene carbonate treatment. If the life of the liquid in repeated processing is significantly extended, metal elements due to impurities in the resist itself accumulate in the liquid and there is a risk of adsorbing contamination on the substrate.In the present invention, however, a purification mechanism for purification using a metal impurity adsorption cylinder is provided. Since it can be arranged as a bypass of the liquid circulation system, the economical and resource saving effect by extending the liquid life is obvious, and the problem of improving the repetitive processing capacity according to the present invention has been achieved.

本発明の混合溶剤によるレジスト剥離は2種の相補う方法による室温処理で十分な性能向上効果が得られる。150℃の炭酸エチレン処理並びに40℃のオゾン含有炭酸エチレン処理より明らかに剥離性能を向上させた。また室温のオゾンガス通気でオゾン濃度の速い立ち上りと到達濃度の上昇が達成され、過酸化物の発生の低減に成功して多数回繰返し処理性能も大きく向上した。   The resist stripping with the mixed solvent of the present invention can provide a sufficient performance improvement effect by room temperature treatment by two complementary methods. The peeling performance was clearly improved over the ethylene carbonate treatment at 150 ° C. and the ozone-containing ethylene carbonate treatment at 40 ° C. In addition, ozone gas ventilation at room temperature achieved a rapid rise in ozone concentration and an increase in the concentration reached, and succeeded in reducing the generation of peroxide, greatly improving the performance of repeated treatment many times.

以下、本発明の詳細について説明する。本明細書に記載されているオゾンガスは放電方式の発生装置により発生させたもので、特に断りの無い限りオゾンを約200mg/Lの濃度で含む酸素ガスが使われている。本発明ではγ-ブチロラクトンの炭酸エチレンへの適量の添加により、室温でオゾンガスを通気したとき高濃度のオゾン含有液が速い立ち上りで得られ、しかも過酸化物の発生を抑えた処理を可能にした。それは下記のように分析法を工夫して、γ-ブチロラクトン中のオゾンの濃度が随時把握できるようになったからである。   Details of the present invention will be described below. The ozone gas described in this specification is generated by a discharge-type generator, and oxygen gas containing ozone at a concentration of about 200 mg / L is used unless otherwise specified. In the present invention, by adding an appropriate amount of γ-butyrolactone to ethylene carbonate, a high-concentration ozone-containing liquid can be obtained at a rapid rise when ozone gas is passed at room temperature, and processing that suppresses the generation of peroxide is enabled. . This is because the concentration of ozone in γ-butyrolactone can be grasped at any time by devising the analytical method as described below.

《処理液中のオゾン濃度の定量と過酸化物発生量の評価》
通常、水溶性の液におけるオゾンの分析は、この液にヨウ化カリウムを加えた時直ちに遊離するヨウ素を定量するヨウ素法が標準的である。有機溶媒にオゾンを溶解した場合は、同時に有機過酸化物が発生しやすく、ヨウ素法を実施すると過酸化物も直ちにヨウ素を遊離してオゾンによる遊離量に加算される。しかし、一般にオゾンが過酸化物より分解が早いので、この性質を利用して双方とも分析が可能である。ところが、γ−ブチロラクトンはそれ自体がヨウ化カリウムと直ちに反応するのでヨウ素法は適用出来ない。従って、他の大部分の有機溶剤と同様にオゾンは殆ど溶かさないものと推定されていた。
《Quantification of ozone concentration in treatment liquid and evaluation of peroxide generation amount》
In general, the analysis of ozone in a water-soluble liquid is typically performed by the iodine method in which iodine liberated immediately after potassium iodide is added to this liquid. When ozone is dissolved in an organic solvent, an organic peroxide is likely to be generated at the same time, and when the iodine method is performed, the peroxide immediately releases iodine and is added to the released amount by ozone. However, since ozone generally decomposes faster than peroxide, both can be analyzed using this property. However, since γ-butyrolactone itself immediately reacts with potassium iodide, the iodine method cannot be applied. Therefore, it was estimated that ozone, like most other organic solvents, hardly dissolved.

本発明者は、低濃度のオゾンの定量に使われていた、青色のインジゴカルミン液との反応で起こる褪色を比色で計る分析法について検討した結果、高濃度オゾンでも十分な精度で定量可能な手法を確立し、また過酸化物についてはその褪色反応を研究した結果に基づき、その発生量を相対的に評価出来る手法を工夫し得た。そこでγ−ブチロラクトンだけでなく、広く他の有機溶剤についても双方の量についての比較が可能になった。   As a result of studying an analytical method for measuring fading caused by a reaction with a blue indigo carmine solution, which was used for quantifying low-concentration ozone, the present inventor can quantitate even with high-concentration ozone with sufficient accuracy. As a result, we have devised a method that can relatively evaluate the generation amount of peroxides based on the results of studies on the discoloration reaction. Therefore, not only γ-butyrolactone but also a wide range of other organic solvents can be compared for both amounts.

《レジスト剥離用有機溶媒のオゾン処理に関する評価》
そこでレジスト剥離用に従来から使われている或いは発表されている有機溶媒について、夫々のビーカー内50mLに対し、25℃でオゾンガスを径25mm厚さ15mmの円筒状フッ素樹脂製バブラーを使って0.3L/分の流速で5分間通気し、その直後のオゾン濃度と過酸化物発生量の相対値(40℃炭酸エチレンに5分通気での発生量を1とする)を求めた。結果を表1に示す。因みに40℃炭酸エチレンの20分通気では過酸化物発生量は2、即ち5分通気の場合の2倍で、25℃炭酸プロピレン20分通気では略4である。
<< Evaluation of ozone treatment of organic solvent for resist removal >>
Therefore, for organic solvents that have been used or announced for resist stripping in a conventional beaker, 50 ml in each beaker is ozone gas at 25 ° C. using a cylindrical fluororesin bubbler with a diameter of 25 mm and a thickness of 15 mm. Aeration was conducted at a flow rate of 3 L / min for 5 minutes, and the relative value of the ozone concentration and the amount of peroxide generated immediately after that was determined (the amount of generation at 40 ° C. ethylene carbonate during 5 minutes was 1). The results are shown in Table 1. Incidentally, the amount of peroxide generated in the 20 minute aeration of ethylene carbonate at 40 ° C. is 2, that is, twice the amount in the case of a 5 minute aeration, and approximately 4 in the 20 minutes aeration at 25 ° C. propylene carbonate.

オゾン濃度と過酸化物発生に関し、γ-ブチロラクトンが炭酸プロピレンに近い結果となった。他の溶媒はまったくオゾンが存在しないか、含まれても僅かという結果になり、前者では白煙が出て液温が10℃も上昇するほど激しい反応を起こすものもあった。従って炭酸エチレンの添加物として同族列溶媒以外ではγ-ブチロラクトンだけが検討に値した。そこでγ-ブチロラクトンと炭酸エチレンについて、オゾンの作用を比較する為、後者が液状を保てる40℃でオゾンガス通気時間とオゾン濃度の関係を調べた。結果を図2の実線のグラフに示す。両者とも通気後1分程度までは濃度が急速に立ち上がり、炭酸エチレン液ではその後増加率は漸次減るもののオゾン濃度が増して望ましいといえる。γ−ブチロラクトンは立ち上がったオゾン濃度がすぐ頭打ちしてその後減少が速く、オゾンを分解する物質が副生するものと思われる。γ-ブチロラクトンは25℃処理では5分程度で頭打ちし以降急落傾向を示すので、連続してオゾン処理を行なう除去手段には適しない。   Regarding ozone concentration and peroxide generation, γ-butyrolactone was close to propylene carbonate. As for the other solvents, there was a result that ozone was not present at all or contained only a little, and in the former, white smoke was emitted and the reaction temperature was increased as the liquid temperature increased by 10 ° C. Therefore, only γ-butyrolactone was worth considering except for homologous series solvents as an additive for ethylene carbonate. Therefore, in order to compare the action of ozone for γ-butyrolactone and ethylene carbonate, the relationship between ozone gas ventilation time and ozone concentration was investigated at 40 ° C., where the latter kept liquid. The results are shown in the solid line graph of FIG. In both cases, the concentration rises rapidly until about 1 minute after aeration, and in the case of ethylene carbonate liquid, the rate of increase gradually decreases, but the ozone concentration increases. γ-Butyrolactone seems to be a byproduct of a substance that decomposes ozone because the rising ozone concentration quickly reaches its peak and then decreases rapidly. Since γ-butyrolactone reaches a peak in about 5 minutes in the 25 ° C. treatment and then shows a sharp drop, it is not suitable as a removing means for performing continuous ozone treatment.

本発明の組成範囲を代表する前記4種の混合溶剤に対して、上述と同じ通気条件により室温でオゾンガス通気を行なったときの液オゾン濃度の経時測定結果を図2の点線で示す。85/15液と75/25液の5分通気では40℃の炭酸エチレン液で得られる濃度の約50%高の75mg/L程度が得られ、20分通気を続けても濃度は略一定であるか若干増加の傾向を示す。これらの組成は連続してオゾンを通気する浸漬除去処理に適する。本混合溶剤はγ-ブチロラクトンの比率が増すほど得られるオゾンの濃度が低下するが、65/35液も55/45液も通気約10分後オゾン濃度は頭を打つもののその後の低下が緩やかで、γ-ブチロラクトンの急落特性の影響が意外にも弱い。20分後で約60mg/Lの高い濃度が保たれ、この組成はレジスト以外の重合物の剥離で有効なことが多い。
<< Ozone concentration in room temperature ozone treatment of this mixed solvent >>
The results of time-measurement of the liquid ozone concentration when ozone gas was passed at room temperature under the same aeration conditions as above for the four mixed solvents representing the composition range of the present invention are shown by dotted lines in FIG. With a 5-minute aeration of 85/15 and 75/25, a concentration of about 75 mg / L, which is about 50% higher than that obtained with an ethylene carbonate solution at 40 ° C., is obtained. There is a slight increase trend. These compositions are suitable for the immersion removal treatment in which ozone is continuously bubbled. In this mixed solvent, the concentration of ozone obtained decreases as the ratio of γ-butyrolactone increases, but the ozone concentration hits the head after about 10 minutes of aeration in both 65/35 and 55/45 solutions, but the subsequent decrease is slow. Surprisingly, the effect of the plunging property of γ-butyrolactone is weak. After 20 minutes, a high concentration of about 60 mg / L is maintained, and this composition is often effective in stripping polymers other than resist.

《本混合溶剤の室温オゾン処理における過酸化物発生》

<< Peroxide generation in room temperature ozone treatment of this mixed solvent >>
Table 2 shows the measurement results of the relative values of peroxide generation over time when ozone gas was passed through the four mixed solvents at room temperature under the same ventilation conditions as described above.

繰返し剥離処理の能力を支配する過酸化物量の評価は、40℃,5分の炭酸エチレン処理との比較で行なった。その背景は次のとおりである。1×1014/cmのイオン注入による硬化変質レジストを剥離した炭酸エチレン液はレジスト溶液に未溶解粒が分散しているが、オゾンガスの40℃,5分通気でレジストは完全に分解されこの再生で約100回の循環処理が出来た。終わりに近い段階では剥離速度はかなり低下したが実用範囲は許容した。比較的剥離が難しい処理での実績であるから、循環剥離処理が実用的に可能な1回のオゾン通気処理での過酸化物発生量は、40℃の炭酸エチレン液に対し濃度200mg/Lのオゾンガスの5分通気で生じる量と決め、これを比較の基準量とした。この発生量のヨウ素法による実測値は循環回数や処理したレジストの種類でばらつくが5〜10mg当量/Lである。表2のコントロールの発生量相対値の1はその基準を示している。25℃,20分の炭酸プロピレン剥離は繰返し処理の能力が半分程度に落ちるが、これを実用での限界とすると、上記した20分通気での発生量相対値、即ち4が過酸化物発生許容の上限となる。γ−ブチロラクトンは20分オゾン通気での相対値が7〜8でオゾンによる繰返し再生には適しないが、炭酸エチレンの添加成分となった場合幾分は過酸化物発生を抑制するように作用しており、この効果は本発明への寄与が大きい。 The amount of peroxide that governs the ability of repeated stripping treatment was evaluated by comparison with ethylene carbonate treatment at 40 ° C. for 5 minutes. The background is as follows. The undissolved particles are dispersed in the resist solution in the ethylene carbonate solution from which the hardened and altered resist is peeled off by ion implantation at 1 × 10 14 / cm 2 , but the resist is completely decomposed by aeration of ozone gas at 40 ° C. for 5 minutes. About 100 times of circulation processing was completed by reproduction. At the stage near the end, the peeling rate decreased considerably, but the practical range was acceptable. Since it is a track record in a process that is relatively difficult to peel off, the amount of peroxide generated in one ozone aeration process where a cyclic peeling process is practically possible is a concentration of 200 mg / L with respect to an ethylene carbonate solution at 40 ° C. The amount of ozone gas generated by a 5-minute ventilation was determined, and this was used as a reference amount for comparison. The actual measured value of the generated amount by the iodine method is 5 to 10 mg equivalent / L, although it varies depending on the number of circulations and the type of processed resist. The control generation amount relative value 1 in Table 2 indicates the standard. The peeling of propylene carbonate at 25 ° C. for 20 minutes reduces the ability of repeated treatment to about half. However, if this is a practical limit, the relative value of the generated amount in the 20-minute ventilation, that is, 4 is the permissible generation of peroxide. It becomes the upper limit of. γ-Butyrolactone is not suitable for repeated regeneration with ozone because it has a relative value of 7 to 8 at 20 minutes ozone ventilation, but it acts to suppress the generation of peroxide when it is added to ethylene carbonate. This effect greatly contributes to the present invention.

表2から、室温での75/25液と85/15液のオゾン処理における過酸化物の発生量は40℃炭酸エチレン処理の略1/2で、循環液の寿命は2倍になる筈であるが室温処理といえども液の蒸発や飛散があり実質的には伸びは50%程度である。他の2つの組成液も炭酸プロピレンの場合より過酸化物発生が少なく、前記2者には劣るもののかなりの循環寿命が期待出来る。γ−ブチロラクトン成分が45重量%以上になると過酸化物発生は許容出来ない量となる。   From Table 2, the amount of peroxide generated in the 75/25 and 85/15 ozone treatments at room temperature is approximately half that of the 40 ° C ethylene carbonate treatment, and the life of the circulating fluid should double. However, even with room temperature treatment, there is evaporation and scattering of the liquid, and the elongation is substantially about 50%. The other two composition liquids also generate less peroxide than propylene carbonate, and can be expected to have a considerable circulation life, though inferior to the above two. When the γ-butyrolactone component is 45% by weight or more, peroxide generation is unacceptable.

《オゾン処理に関する最良の除去対象》
上記のオゾン高濃度化と優れた循環剥離特性が活かせる除去対象有機物質は、オゾンとよく反応して低分子量物質に分解され、その低分子量物質が該混合溶剤及びリンス用の水に溶解しやすいものでなければならない。従って、分子内に二重結合やベンゼン環(縮合環を含む)或いは求核性原子等を有する分子量の大きい物質、特に重合体物質が該当する。本混合溶剤はこのオゾンの分解反応に関与するので即ち活性溶媒であるから、分解生成物の大部分は低分子量の物質である場合が多い。具体的には、本発明の方法における有機系付着物としては、例えば、フォトレジストおよび半田フラックスが挙げられ、更に具体的には下記のとおりである。
<Best removal target for ozone treatment>
The organic substance to be removed, which can make use of the above high ozone concentration and excellent circulation peeling properties, reacts well with ozone and is decomposed into low molecular weight substances, which are dissolved in the mixed solvent and rinsing water. It must be easy. Accordingly, a substance having a large molecular weight, particularly a polymer substance, having a double bond, a benzene ring (including a condensed ring), a nucleophilic atom, or the like in the molecule is applicable. Since the present mixed solvent is involved in the decomposition reaction of ozone, that is, it is an active solvent, most of the decomposition products are often low molecular weight substances. Specifically, the organic deposit in the method of the present invention includes, for example, a photoresist and a solder flux, and more specifically as follows.

本発明が最適の除去対象有機物質とするのは、ポジ型レジストの大部分を占めるノボラック樹脂レジスト及びポリビニルフェノール樹脂レジスト即ち分子内にフェノール類を含む重合体物質であって、オゾンとよく反応し、本混合溶剤自体の分解物を含めて生成物質はギ酸、酢酸、シュウ酸、グリコール酸等のカルボン酸やそのエステルあるいは炭酸ガス、水等である。オゾン再生の多数回繰返しでこれら低分子量生成物の該溶媒中の濃度が5%程度まで増えてもレジスト膜に対する液の溶解能力は殆ど低下しない。またレジスト分子のままで溶解している既存剥離剤に比し、水溶性物質にまで分解しているとリンスにおけるレジスト物質の排除、即ち、剥離後の面の清浄化がはるかに容易である。
電子部品関連で使われるエポキシ樹脂の90%以上はフェノール系で硬化前のものはオゾンとの反応性があり、その他半田付けフラックスに多いロジンは多環芳香族化合物でオゾンにより分解されて、本発明のよい除去対象である。電子部品に係わらずその他表面の付着物となる重合体で、オゾンと反応性があるものは少なくない。それらは本発明の好ましい対象になる。
The organic substances to be removed by the present invention are optimum novolak resin resists and polyvinylphenol resin resists that occupy most of the positive resists, that is, polymer substances containing phenols in the molecule and react well with ozone. The product substance including the decomposition product of the present mixed solvent itself is carboxylic acid such as formic acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid, glycolic acid, its ester, carbon dioxide gas, water or the like. Even if the concentration of these low molecular weight products in the solvent is increased to about 5% by repeating ozone regeneration many times, the dissolving ability of the liquid in the resist film hardly decreases. In addition, when the resist is decomposed to a water-soluble substance as compared with the existing stripping agent dissolved in the form of resist molecules, it is much easier to remove the resist substance in rinsing, that is, to clean the surface after peeling.
More than 90% of epoxy resins used in electronic parts are phenolic, and those that are not cured are reactive with ozone, and rosin, which is also common in soldering fluxes, is a polycyclic aromatic compound that is decomposed by ozone. It is a good removal object of the invention. Regardless of the electronic component, there are many polymers that are reactive with ozone, and are other surface deposits. They are a preferred subject of the present invention.

《処理液》
本発明において、基体表面上の有機系付着物を除去するために好ましく使用できる処理液としては、例えば、重量比85/15乃至55/45の炭酸エチレンとγ−ブチロラクトンとからなる混合溶媒とオゾンとの反応生成物及び前記有機系付着物とオゾンとの反応生成物を合計で0乃至5重量%含み、残余は前記混合溶媒である処理液が挙げられる。該処理液は、更に、0.1〜2重量%のシュウ酸を含んでいてもよい。これにより、本発明による処理液の有機系付着物除去作用を更に向上させることができる。
炭酸プロピレンはネガ型レジスト膜の剥離剤として知られており、表1に示したようにオゾンに対する性質はγ−ブチロラクトンに似ている。炭酸プロピレンやオゾンの溶解能が極めて大きい酢酸等のその他の溶媒を本発明の処理液に添加することは使用目的によっては新たな効果もありうる。しかし、これらの溶媒を添加しても上記の重量比が保たれる限り、本発明の本来の効果は発揮できる。従って、本発明の処理液は、この種の溶媒を含んでいても、本発明の範疇に含まれることはいうまでもない。
<Processing liquid>
In the present invention, a treatment liquid that can be preferably used for removing organic deposits on the substrate surface is, for example, a mixed solvent composed of ethylene carbonate and γ-butyrolactone having a weight ratio of 85/15 to 55/45 and ozone. And the reaction product of the organic deposit and ozone in a total amount of 0 to 5% by weight, with the remainder being the mixed solvent. The treatment liquid may further contain 0.1 to 2% by weight of oxalic acid. Thereby, the organic deposit removal action of the treatment liquid according to the present invention can be further improved.
Propylene carbonate is known as a release agent for negative resist films, and as shown in Table 1, the properties against ozone are similar to γ-butyrolactone. Adding another solvent such as propylene carbonate or acetic acid having a very high ability to dissolve ozone to the treatment liquid of the present invention may have a new effect depending on the purpose of use. However, even if these solvents are added, the original effect of the present invention can be exhibited as long as the above weight ratio is maintained. Therefore, it goes without saying that the treatment liquid of the present invention is included in the scope of the present invention even if it contains this type of solvent.

《本混合溶剤の室温オゾン処理における硬化変質レジスト剥離能力》
本発明剥離法の第2の特徴として示された室温のオゾン含有混合溶剤の基体への接触について、レジスト剥離性能を40℃のオゾン含有炭酸エチレン処理と比較する。比較用レジスト試料は、特許文献3に記載されている150℃の炭酸エチレン液で剥離に2分を要した一般に湿式処理で剥離が難しいとされている高濃度のイオン注入硬化変質膜を選び、その試料と同仕様で作成した。即ち、シリコン酸化ウェーハ上の厚さ1.5μmのノボラックレジスト(JSR(株)IX500)膜の全面において、11を30KeVで1×1015/cm注入したものから2cm×2cmのチップを切出して比較実験の試料とした。
《Hard and altered resist peeling ability in room temperature ozone treatment of this mixed solvent》
Regarding the contact of the ozone-containing mixed solvent at room temperature with the substrate, which is shown as the second feature of the stripping method of the present invention, the resist stripping performance is compared with 40 ° C. ozone-containing ethylene carbonate treatment. For the resist sample for comparison, a high-concentration ion-implanted and hardened film, which is generally considered to be difficult to remove by wet processing, which requires 2 minutes to remove with an ethylene carbonate solution at 150 ° C. described in Patent Document 3, It was created with the same specifications as the sample. That is, a 2 cm × 2 cm chip is obtained from a 1 × 10 15 / cm 2 implant of 11 B + at 30 KeV on the entire surface of a 1.5 μm-thick novolak resist (IX500) film on a silicon oxide wafer. It cut out and it was set as the sample of the comparative experiment.

レジスト剥離処理は図2のデータ―作成に使われた処理と同条件のオゾン通気手段を使い、1分通気してから試料チップをビーカー中の液に浸漬して所定時間通気後、流純水でリンスし風乾した。剥離状況は顕微鏡下で観察した。40℃の炭酸エチレン液では、過酸化物発生が許容できる5分浸漬ではレジストは僅かしか変化を受けず、10分浸漬で表面がギザギザに見える程度、20分浸漬でも完全な剥離は出来ない。しかし85/15液、75/25液のいずれでも室温10分浸漬でかなりの部分が、20分で完全に剥離された。MHz超音波を併用すると10分浸漬で剥離され、40KHz程度の超音波が使える場合は3分で剥離される。表2からこれらの液の20分通気でも過酸化物発生は許容範囲であって、65/35液、55/45液の順に僅かずつ剥離が速くなるが、一方過酸化物発生は多くなる。剥離速度についてはγ−ブチロラクトンがレジスト溶解力を助長する能力を有する為と推察できる。   The resist stripping process uses ozone ventilation means under the same conditions as the process used to create the data shown in Fig. 2. After aeration for 1 minute, the sample chip is immersed in the solution in the beaker and aerated for a predetermined time. Rinse and air dry. The peeling state was observed under a microscope. In an ethylene carbonate solution at 40 ° C., the resist undergoes only a slight change in immersion for 5 minutes where peroxide generation is acceptable, and complete peeling cannot be achieved even in immersion for 20 minutes, so that the surface appears jagged after immersion for 10 minutes. However, in both the 85/15 and 75/25 solutions, a considerable part was completely peeled off in 20 minutes when immersed for 10 minutes at room temperature. When MHz ultrasonic waves are used in combination, they are peeled off by immersion for 10 minutes, and when ultrasonic waves of about 40 KHz can be used, they are peeled off in 3 minutes. From Table 2, even when aeration of these liquids for 20 minutes, the generation of peroxides is within an acceptable range, and the peeling is accelerated little by little in the order of 65/35 liquid and 55/45 liquid, while peroxide generation increases. Regarding the peeling speed, it can be presumed that γ-butyrolactone has the ability to promote the resist dissolving power.

この室温オゾン処理は当然カセットに収納したウェーハでの浸漬処理に適用できる。完全に剥離を終えた液はオゾンによる分解も進行し無色透明であって、強く変質したレジストでもオゾンにより十分に分解され、既存剥離剤による高温処理で必ずみられる未分解物の浮遊分散等はほとんどない。従って、この液にそのまま次のウェーハを浸漬して剥離処理を行なうことが出来、繰返し剥離処理を簡単に実施出来る場合が多い。レジストの変質が非常に強く未分解物の浮遊が残る場合でも、処理液を一旦別の槽に移して20〜400KHzの超音波を照射しつつ室温でオゾン通気を施せば数分で浮遊物を分解でき、該分解追加処理液を浸漬槽に戻して次のウェーハの剥離に用い、多数回繰返し除去処理を遂行することが出来る。   Naturally, this room temperature ozone treatment can be applied to the immersion treatment with a wafer stored in a cassette. The completely stripped solution is also colorless and transparent as it is decomposed by ozone, and even a strongly denatured resist is sufficiently decomposed by ozone. rare. Therefore, the next wafer can be immersed in this solution as it is for peeling treatment, and repeated peeling treatment can be easily performed in many cases. Even if resist degeneration is very strong and undecomposed matter remains floating, if the treatment liquid is temporarily transferred to another tank and irradiated with ozone at 20 to 400 KHz and ozone is vented at room temperature, the suspended matter can be removed in a few minutes. The decomposition additional treatment solution can be returned to the dipping bath and used for peeling the next wafer, and the removal treatment can be repeated many times.

本発明の室温オゾン処理によれば、40℃オゾン含有炭酸エチレン処理では除去が無理な強く変質した付着物でも除くことが出来、明らかに剥離性能が向上している。また、室温処理故に装置が簡単化するほか、処理の低温化で揮散による大気への汚染も低減され、保守の面でも著しい改良効果が得られる。剥離処理に20分或いは10分を要するのは長すぎるようであるが、直接オーバーフロー純水リンスを後続させることが出来るので、従来から広く使われ洗浄機の主流であるバッチ式の多槽浸漬処理装置にタクトの点でも好都合に適用が可能となり、本混合溶媒は特別の設備投資をしなくても実用に供し得る。   According to the room temperature ozone treatment of the present invention, it is possible to remove even strongly altered deposits that cannot be removed by the 40 ° C. ozone-containing ethylene carbonate treatment, and the peeling performance is clearly improved. In addition to the simplification of the apparatus due to room temperature treatment, pollution to the atmosphere due to volatilization is reduced by lowering the treatment, and a remarkable improvement effect can be obtained in terms of maintenance. It seems that it takes too long to take 20 minutes or 10 minutes for the stripping process, but since it can be directly followed by overflow pure water rinsing, it is a batch-type multi-bath immersion process that has been widely used in the past and has been the mainstream of washing machines. It can be conveniently applied to the apparatus in terms of tact, and the present mixed solvent can be put into practical use without any special capital investment.

当然変質程度の弱い或いは150℃以下のベーキングだけのレジスト膜は、室温の本混合溶媒処理液に浸漬してオゾンガス通気すれば数分或いは1分以内、場合によっては10秒程度で剥離出来る。しかし、一定の濃度のオゾンガスを短時間ずつ断続して供給することは発生装置が複雑化するので、タクト式処理装置でタクトに合わせてオゾン濃度を下げ処理時間を延ばす方が実用的である。下げ過ぎると分解能力が急に低下するので液のオゾン濃度は20mg/L以上は必要である。また、その為に通気するオゾンガスの濃度はバブラーの構造やガス流速等でオゾン溶解効率が変わるので、余裕を見て100mg/L以上に設定すれば十分である。   Naturally, a resist film that is weakly modified or only baked at 150 ° C. or less can be stripped within several minutes or one minute, and in some cases about 10 seconds, if it is immersed in the present mixed solvent treatment solution at room temperature and vented with ozone gas. However, intermittently supplying ozone gas at a constant concentration for a short time complicates the generator, so it is more practical to lower the ozone concentration in accordance with the tact time and extend the processing time with a tact type processing device. If it is lowered too much, the decomposition ability will suddenly drop, so the ozone concentration of the liquid needs to be 20 mg / L or more. In addition, the ozone gas concentration for ventilation changes depending on the structure of the bubbler, the gas flow rate, etc., so that it is sufficient to set the concentration to 100 mg / L or more with a margin.

《浸漬法以外の処理液と基板の接触方法》
上記のように速い剥離が出来るレジスト膜は実際には半導体ウェーハの面上や液晶デバイス用ガラス基板面上で広く使われている。また浸漬処理以外の特に枚葉処理を必要とする工程は非常に多い。10秒乃至30秒程度で剥離できる場合は既存の枚葉処理装置の改造で概ね生産性と均質性を満足させ得る。浸漬法以外の処理液と基板の接触方法としては、例えば、オゾンガスを通気して得られたオゾン含有混合溶剤処理液をオゾン溶解容器から輸送して処理装置に供給し、該処理液を基板面上を流れる液膜状態にして基板と接触させる方法が挙げられる。該処理液を基板面上を流れる液膜状態にするには、基板をその面に垂直な回転軸で回転させながら、或いは基板をその面の延長方向に移動させながら、面上へ該液をノズルから供給することで実行できる。ここで問題となるのは、有機溶媒中のオゾン濃度はオゾンガスの通気がないと急速に減少することである。表3はオゾンガス通気停止後の経過秒数に対するオゾン濃度の残存率を示す。
《Method of contact with substrate other than immersion method》
As described above, a resist film that can be quickly peeled is actually widely used on the surface of a semiconductor wafer or the glass substrate surface for a liquid crystal device. In addition, there are very many processes that require sheet processing other than immersion treatment. When separation can be performed in about 10 to 30 seconds, productivity and homogeneity can be generally satisfied by modifying an existing single wafer processing apparatus. Examples of the contact method between the processing liquid and the substrate other than the dipping method include, for example, transporting the ozone-containing mixed solvent processing liquid obtained by aeration of ozone gas from the ozone dissolution container and supplying the processing liquid to the substrate surface. There is a method in which a liquid film flowing above is brought into contact with the substrate. In order to bring the treatment liquid into a liquid film state that flows on the surface of the substrate, the liquid is moved onto the surface while rotating the substrate with a rotation axis perpendicular to the surface or moving the substrate in the extending direction of the surface. This can be done by supplying from the nozzle. The problem here is that the ozone concentration in the organic solvent decreases rapidly without the passage of ozone gas. Table 3 shows the residual ratio of ozone concentration with respect to the number of seconds elapsed after stopping the ozone gas ventilation.

Figure 2006148071
Figure 2006148071

処理液へのオゾンの供給が停止すると液のオゾン濃度がγ−ブチロラクトンでは急速に低下するが、γ−ブチロラクトンが炭酸エチレンに含まれるとオゾンの寿命がむしろ伸びる。室温のオゾン含有混合溶剤処理液をオゾン溶解容器から輸送して処理装置に供給するときは輸送時間が短いことが望ましいが,実用上はノズルに到達まで30秒以下であれば問題は無い。   When the supply of ozone to the treatment liquid is stopped, the ozone concentration of the liquid rapidly decreases with γ-butyrolactone, but when γ-butyrolactone is contained in ethylene carbonate, the life of ozone is rather extended. When the ozone-containing mixed solvent treatment liquid at room temperature is transported from the ozone dissolution vessel and supplied to the treatment device, it is desirable that the transportation time is short, but practically there is no problem as long as it takes 30 seconds or less to reach the nozzle.

《本混合溶剤の溶解性能における優位性》
本発明の室温オゾン処理の40℃オゾン含有炭酸エチレン処理に対する剥離性能の優位は、上述した55/45液が65/35液より僅かだが剥離が速くなることからも推測できるようにγ−ブチロラクトンの溶解能力が寄与して混合溶剤の溶解能力が向上し、溶解オゾン量の高濃度化と相俟ってその相乗効果が齎したものといえる。本来γ−ブチロラクトンは高分子に対して優れた溶解性があり、炭酸エチレンとは同じ環状エステルで、水溶性が良いこと、芳香族に対して溶解性が高いことなど性質が似ているが、溶解パラメーター(SP値)は1程度小さくて約13であり、フェノール樹脂(SP値:約12)やエポキシ樹脂(SP値:約11)に近い。従って本混合溶媒をレジストを含めてこの種の有機物質の付着に適用する場合は55/45液に近い組成がオゾンの剥離寄与を助ける。正確に比較できる試料が出来なったので、定性的であるが、一般的なフェノール樹脂系やエポキシ樹脂系塗料に対して、オゾン添加炭酸エチレン液への浸漬より室温でのこの処方の方が明らかに剥離が速かった。
<< Advantage of dissolution performance of this mixed solvent >>
The superiority of the release performance of the room temperature ozone treatment of the present invention over the 40 ° C. ozone-containing ethylene carbonate treatment is that the 55/45 solution mentioned above is slightly more than the 65/35 solution but the release is faster. It can be said that the dissolving ability contributes to the improvement of the dissolving ability of the mixed solvent, and the synergistic effect is combined with the increase in the concentration of dissolved ozone. Originally γ-butyrolactone has excellent solubility in polymers, and ethylene carbonate is the same cyclic ester and has similar properties such as good water solubility and high solubility in aromatics, The solubility parameter (SP value) is about 1 and is about 13, which is close to a phenol resin (SP value: about 12) or an epoxy resin (SP value: about 11). Therefore, when this mixed solvent is applied to the adhesion of this kind of organic substance including a resist, the composition close to 55/45 liquid helps to contribute to the delamination of ozone. Qualitatively because the sample can be accurately compared, but this formulation at room temperature is clearer than the immersion in ozone-added ethylene carbonate solution for general phenol resin and epoxy resin paints The peeling was quick.

《室温で準備された混合溶媒中の光照射による剥離》
本発明剥離法の第1の特徴として示された方法では、室温で準備された混合溶剤の液層が付着物のある基体表面に形成され、該液層を通して該基板に光線を照射する。この照射は液全体の温度の上昇は抑えて基体表面及び接触する液の近接領域だけの温度を急上昇させ、実質的に炭酸エチレンの高温処理より高い温度での処理を可能にするものである。この効率のよい加熱は、好ましくは、処理液に吸収されない光線を前記基体表面近傍に集光させ、該集光させた光線により該表面を走査することにより行われる。より具体的には、該加熱は、例えば、該光線を集光して焦点を含むまたは焦点から少し外れた集光部により該表面を走査することにより行なわれる。集光部のエネルギー量の調整は選ばれた光源と光学系に応じて照射の断続と走査方法の最適化で行なう。照射条件の決定は具体的な剥離性能の検討で決まるが、予備的段階では混合溶媒成分のγ−ブチロラクトンの沸点が都合よく利用できる。僅かな微泡の出現を目安にすると液全体の昇温は10℃以下に抑えて200℃をやや下回る温度での剥離処理の条件が視野に入る。
なお、基体が上記光線に対して透明な平板状の基体であり、該平板状の基体の一方の片面が有機系付着物を有する場合には、上記の光照射による剥離は、該有機系付着物を有する片面上に該処理液の液層を形成することによって該基体に該処理液を接触させ、該有機系付着物を有する片面とは反対側の片面に該光線を吸収する物質よりなる補助板の表面を密着させ、該光線を該液層および該基体を通して該補助板の表面に、断続的に、および/または該補助板と該光線とを相対的に移動させながら照射することによって行うことができる。その際の加熱は、好ましくは、該補助板の表面近傍に集光させた上記光線により該補助板の表面を走査することにより行われる。より具体的は操作は、上記と同様に行うことができる。
<< Peeling by light irradiation in a mixed solvent prepared at room temperature >>
In the method shown as the first feature of the peeling method of the present invention, a liquid layer of a mixed solvent prepared at room temperature is formed on the surface of a substrate on which deposits are present, and the substrate is irradiated with light through the liquid layer. This irradiation suppresses a rise in the temperature of the entire liquid and rapidly raises the temperature of only the surface of the substrate and the adjacent area of the liquid to be contacted, thereby enabling a treatment at a temperature substantially higher than the high-temperature treatment of ethylene carbonate. This efficient heating is preferably performed by condensing a light beam that is not absorbed by the treatment liquid in the vicinity of the surface of the substrate and scanning the surface with the collected light beam. More specifically, the heating is performed, for example, by condensing the light beam and scanning the surface with a condensing part that includes the focus or is slightly out of focus. Adjustment of the energy amount of the condensing unit is performed by intermittent irradiation and optimization of the scanning method according to the selected light source and optical system. Although the irradiation conditions are determined by examining specific peeling performance, the boiling point of the mixed solvent component γ-butyrolactone can be conveniently used in the preliminary stage. When the appearance of a few fine bubbles is taken as a guide, the temperature rise of the whole liquid is suppressed to 10 ° C. or less, and the conditions for the peeling treatment at a temperature slightly below 200 ° C. are in view.
When the substrate is a flat substrate transparent to the light beam and one surface of the flat substrate has an organic deposit, the above-mentioned peeling due to light irradiation may cause the organic attachment. Forming a liquid layer of the treatment liquid on one side having a kimono makes the treatment liquid contact with the substrate, and comprises a substance that absorbs the light beam on one side opposite to the one side having the organic deposit. By bringing the surface of the auxiliary plate into close contact and irradiating the surface of the auxiliary plate intermittently and / or while relatively moving the auxiliary plate and the light beam through the liquid layer and the substrate It can be carried out. The heating at that time is preferably performed by scanning the surface of the auxiliary plate with the light beam condensed near the surface of the auxiliary plate. More specifically, the operation can be performed in the same manner as described above.

ここでは光源として赤外線ランプを使用した。剥離能力は、室温オゾン処理の効果比較の為に作成した150℃炭酸エチレンでの浸漬で剥離に2分を要する、1×1015/cmイオン注入の硬化変質レジスト膜の2cm×2cmチップ試料で比較した。図3はこのイオン注入レジストチップに対する当剥離実験の概念を示すものである。試料チップ1はレジスト面を上にして、皿2に満たした深さ約6mmの室温の75/25液3に沈めた。皿の上方に0.5KWの直管型ハロゲンランプ4を配置し、反射鏡5で近赤外線6をレジスト面に集光し、皿を矢印方向に往復させて集光線でチップの全面を間欠的に走査した。この近赤外線の放射エネルギーのピークは定格電圧印加では波長1.2μmで、本混合溶媒の吸収ピークのある赤外領域まで裾は殆ど広がっていない。一方波長2.5μm以下の近赤外線領域には本混合溶剤の吸収ピークはまったく無いし、液体の熱伝導率は小さいので液全体の急激な昇温は無い。この光線を吸収した基体シリコンの昇温は速く、処理液のチップ面との接触部が連れて微泡の見られる200℃近くまで昇温するのでレジストに対する液の溶解能力は急速に増す。しかし変質部分は容易には溶解し得ないので、この部分は膜状で浮かぶように剥がれ、それを含んだ薄い茶色のレジスト溶解液が得られた。所要時間はほぼ1分で、炭酸エチレンの高温浸漬処理より明らかに剥離速度が大きい。処理後の液温の上昇は数℃に止まり、実質的には高温処理なのに溶媒蒸気の散逸は殆どみられない。 Here, an infrared lamp was used as the light source. Peeling ability is 2cm x 2cm chip sample of 1x10 15 / cm 2 ion-implanted cured altered resist film that takes 2 minutes to dip in 150 ° C ethylene carbonate prepared for comparison of effects of room temperature ozone treatment Compared. FIG. 3 shows the concept of this peeling experiment for this ion-implanted resist chip. The sample chip 1 was submerged in a 75/25 liquid 3 at room temperature with a depth of about 6 mm filled in the dish 2 with the resist surface facing up. A 0.5KW straight tube type halogen lamp 4 is placed above the dish, the near-infrared ray 6 is condensed on the resist surface by the reflecting mirror 5, and the entire surface of the chip is intermittently moved by the condensing line by reciprocating the dish in the direction of the arrow. Scanned. This near-infrared radiation energy peak has a wavelength of 1.2 μm when a rated voltage is applied, and the skirt hardly spreads to the infrared region having the absorption peak of the present mixed solvent. On the other hand, there is no absorption peak of the present mixed solvent in the near infrared region having a wavelength of 2.5 μm or less, and since the thermal conductivity of the liquid is small, there is no rapid temperature rise of the whole liquid. The temperature of the base silicon that absorbs the light beam is rapidly increased, and the temperature of the substrate is increased to nearly 200 ° C. at which the microbubbles are observed along with the contact portion of the processing liquid with the chip surface. However, since the altered portion cannot be easily dissolved, this portion was peeled off so as to float in the form of a film, and a light brown resist solution containing it was obtained. The required time is about 1 minute, and the peeling rate is clearly larger than the high temperature immersion treatment of ethylene carbonate. The increase in the liquid temperature after the treatment is only a few degrees C., and virtually no solvent vapor is dissipated despite the high temperature treatment.

要するにこの方法は基板上の付着物を光エネルギーにより強化された溶解作用で剥離するものである。使用できる光線は赤外線ランプ光に限定されない。本混合溶剤の吸収スペクトルの見られない波長領域の光線、即ち放射エネルギーのピークの波長が2.5μm以下で、好ましくは2μm以下で、0.24μm以上の光線が使用可能である。例えば、発振波長がこの範囲領域にあるレーザ光はすべて利用出来、基体の吸収の大きい波長を選べばよい。具体的には、半導体分野でのレーザ加工に広く使われているNd:YAGレーザの波長1.06μm或いはその第2高調波の0.532μm、第4高調波の0.266μmの短パルスレーザー光を用いることができる。
光線の照射に際しては、新たな処理液を基体表面上の液層に供給することにより該処理液を液層状態で該基体表面上を移動させて処理液を更新してもよい。これにより、処理液全体の昇温を抑えることができる。新たな処理液の供給は、継続的に行っても、必要に応じて間欠的に行ってもよい。
In short, this method peels off deposits on the substrate by a dissolving action enhanced by light energy. The light beam that can be used is not limited to infrared lamp light. A light beam in a wavelength region in which the absorption spectrum of the mixed solvent is not observed, that is, a light beam having a peak wavelength of radiant energy of 2.5 μm or less, preferably 2 μm or less, and 0.24 μm or more can be used. For example, all laser light having an oscillation wavelength in this range can be used, and a wavelength with a large absorption of the substrate may be selected. Specifically, Nd: YAG laser, which is widely used for laser processing in the semiconductor field, has a short pulse laser beam with a wavelength of 1.06 μm or a second harmonic of 0.532 μm and a fourth harmonic of 0.266 μm. Can be used.
When irradiating the light beam, the treatment liquid may be renewed by supplying a new treatment liquid to the liquid layer on the substrate surface to move the treatment liquid on the substrate surface in the liquid layer state. Thereby, the temperature rise of the whole processing liquid can be suppressed. The supply of new treatment liquid may be performed continuously or intermittently as necessary.

《レジスト溶解液のオゾンによる分解》
上記の未溶解膜を含んだレジスト溶解着色液は放置するだけでも短時間に室温近くになる。ここでオゾンガスを通気すると、着色が10秒以内に消失し、40KHz程度の超音波を照射しつつ2分間オゾン通気を継続すると未溶解物も消える。超音波の効果は特に強力で通気するオゾンガスの濃度を1/2に下げても分解所要時間は実用範囲である。生成した低分子量物質は分析によれば既述の分解生成物類と同様であり、過酸化物の発生量は40℃炭酸エチレンの場合のほぼ半分である。本発明の光線利用混合溶媒処理とオゾンによる分解処理は室温での多数回循環処理を可能にし、繰返し回数も炭酸エチレン処理の2倍近く向上できる。
<Decomposition of resist solution with ozone>
The resist-dissolved coloring liquid containing the undissolved film becomes close to room temperature in a short time just by leaving it alone. Here, when ozone gas is ventilated, the coloration disappears within 10 seconds, and if ozone aeration is continued for 2 minutes while irradiating an ultrasonic wave of about 40 KHz, undissolved substances also disappear. The effect of ultrasonic waves is particularly strong, and the time required for decomposition is within the practical range even if the concentration of ozone gas to be vented is reduced to ½. The generated low molecular weight substance is similar to the decomposition products described above according to the analysis, and the amount of peroxide generated is almost half that of 40 ° C. ethylene carbonate. The mixed solvent treatment using light and the decomposition treatment with ozone according to the present invention enable a circulation treatment many times at room temperature, and the number of repetitions can be improved almost twice as much as the ethylene carbonate treatment.

以下、本発明を実施例によって具体的に説明するが本発明はこれら実施例に限定されるものではない。   EXAMPLES The present invention will be specifically described below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.

《実施例1》
室温で準備された本発明の混合溶剤処理液中でハロゲンランプ光の集光部で付着物のある基体表面を走査する除去法を既に説明したが、本実施例では並列させたハロゲンランプを具備した平板炉の下方に除去対象の基板を位置させて同様の光線照射浸漬処理を行なう方法を説明する。液晶デバイス用ガラス基板上のレジストを除去対象にしたので、ガラスが近赤外線エネルギーを吸収しない。そこで該基板を光を確実に吸収する補助板の上に載せて剥離を試みた。
Example 1
The removal method of scanning the surface of the substrate with deposits in the condensing part of the halogen lamp light prepared in the mixed solvent treatment solution of the present invention prepared at room temperature has already been described. In this embodiment, a halogen lamp arranged in parallel is provided. A method of performing the same light irradiation immersion treatment by placing the substrate to be removed below the flat plate furnace will be described. Since the resist on the glass substrate for liquid crystal devices was targeted for removal, the glass does not absorb near-infrared energy. Therefore, the substrate was placed on an auxiliary plate that reliably absorbs light, and peeling was attempted.

本実施例における剥離の対象はガラス基板上のアルミニウム/モリブデン2層膜テストパターンをドライエッチングして形成するためのマスクとして使われたレジストであって、該レジスト膜はリアクティブイオンで硬化変質している。この剥離のテストの為に該パターン形成基板を20cm角に切断した。テスト装置は既存の真空チャック付枚葉スピンナ洗浄装置の回転部とチャンバーの壁面及び底面を改造したものである。回転部の俯瞰図を図4に示す。回転部は平坦で四角形の底板7と10°の傾斜のある幅3cmの縁部8で形作られ、薄くフッ素樹脂でコートされたステンレス鋼製の皿である。底板7が補助板になっている。図5はこの装置の概念を示す断面図で、皿の底板7は断熱材9を介して十字形のステンレス製支持体10に固定され、支持体10は駆動機構(図示省略)の回転軸11に嵌合されて駆動機構より皿が回転する。真空吸引(関係機構は図示省略)により基板12をパターンの面を上にその角がピン13の対で挟まれる位置に固定する。本発明の処理液は、貯蔵タンク14中の室温の混合溶媒15が配管(本実施例ではすべて太線で示され、液は矢印の方向に流れる)でスプレーノズル16に送られ、該ノズルから真空吸引を止めた基板上に満たされ、基板12上に液層17が形成される。尚、配管に付属する液を送る為の送液ポンプや除塵フィルター、バルブ類等は図面では省略されている。   In this embodiment, the object of peeling is a resist used as a mask for dry etching an aluminum / molybdenum two-layer film test pattern on a glass substrate. The resist film is hardened and altered by reactive ions. ing. For the peeling test, the pattern-formed substrate was cut into 20 cm square. The test device is a modification of the rotating part of the existing single wafer spinner cleaning device with vacuum chuck and the wall surface and bottom surface of the chamber. An overhead view of the rotating part is shown in FIG. The rotating part is a stainless steel dish formed with a flat square bottom plate 7 and an edge 8 having a width of 3 cm with an inclination of 10 ° and coated with a thin fluororesin. The bottom plate 7 is an auxiliary plate. FIG. 5 is a sectional view showing the concept of this apparatus. The bottom plate 7 of the dish is fixed to a cruciform stainless steel support 10 via a heat insulating material 9, and the support 10 is a rotating shaft 11 of a drive mechanism (not shown). The dish is rotated by the drive mechanism. The substrate 12 is fixed at a position where the corner of the substrate 12 is sandwiched between a pair of pins 13 by vacuum suction (related mechanism is not shown). The processing liquid of the present invention is sent to the spray nozzle 16 by a pipe (which is shown in bold lines in the present embodiment, and the liquid flows in the direction of the arrow) in the storage tank 14 at room temperature. A liquid layer 17 is formed on the substrate 12 which is filled on the substrate from which suction is stopped. Incidentally, a liquid feed pump, a dust removal filter, valves and the like for sending the liquid attached to the pipe are omitted in the drawing.

皿の上方には0.5KW直管型ハロゲンランプ18が反射面体19とともに並列した平板炉20(炉の下面には石英ガラス板を具備)が配置されていて、皿に処理液が満ちると同時に皿を100rpm以下で遅く回転させ、ランプは定格電圧で作動させてそのオンオフにより光放射を断続させて皿底上面を略均一な所定温度に制御する。放射近赤外線のエネルギーはほとんど処理液に吸収されず、大部分がステンレス皿に吸収され熱伝導で基板温度が上昇し、近接する液領域も昇温して溶媒の溶解作用が増強される。間接的な光加熱なのでシリコン基板の場合より剥離に時間がかかるが、通常液全体の温度上昇は10℃以下である。長い処理時間を必要とする場合は放射の切れ間にスプレーノズルからの瞬時の液供給を行なって、皿縁から液を溢れさせれば、液温の上昇は十分抑止できる。光線処理を終えたら、皿の回転数を500〜1000rpmに上げると液は皿の縁を越えて排出される。ここでノズルから処理液をスプレーして所定時間リンスの後、送液を止め、要すれば回転数を上げて余分の液を切り、薄い液膜が覆った状態の基板12を超純水のスピンリンサードライヤーに移して、リンスの後スピン乾燥する。基板は真空吸引孔から逆に送気して浮いた状態にして移動用ハンドル(図示省略)に掴ませれば容易に移送出来る。   A flat plate furnace 20 (having a quartz glass plate on the lower surface of the furnace) in which a 0.5 KW straight tube type halogen lamp 18 is juxtaposed with the reflecting surface body 19 is disposed above the plate, and at the same time the processing liquid fills the plate. The pan is rotated slowly at 100 rpm or less, the lamp is operated at a rated voltage, and the light emission is intermittently turned on and off to control the upper surface of the pan bottom to a substantially uniform predetermined temperature. The energy of the radiated near infrared rays is hardly absorbed by the treatment liquid, and most of the energy is absorbed by the stainless steel dish, the substrate temperature rises due to heat conduction, the temperature of the adjacent liquid region also rises, and the solvent dissolving action is enhanced. Since it is indirect light heating, it takes longer to peel off than in the case of a silicon substrate, but the temperature rise of the whole liquid is usually 10 ° C. or less. If a long processing time is required, an increase in the liquid temperature can be sufficiently suppressed by instantaneously supplying the liquid from the spray nozzle between the radiation breaks and overflowing the liquid from the edge of the dish. When the light treatment is finished, the liquid is discharged beyond the edge of the dish by increasing the number of revolutions of the dish to 500 to 1000 rpm. Here, after spraying the treatment liquid from the nozzle and rinsing for a predetermined time, the liquid feeding is stopped, and if necessary, the rotation speed is increased to cut off the excess liquid, and the substrate 12 in a state covered with a thin liquid film is removed from the ultrapure water. Transfer to a spin rinser, rinse and spin dry. The substrate can be easily transferred if it is lifted by air supply from the vacuum suction hole and is held by a moving handle (not shown).

この剥離テストでは85/15液を処理液とした。皿の回転を60rpmとしたとき、皿底表面の温度が10秒で200℃になった(この立上がり時間は短いことが望ましく、その為には断熱材9の代わりに加熱板を設け予熱しておくことが好ましい)。その温度が保持出来るよう平板炉の照射断続を調整した。30秒経過後、1000rpmで5秒スプレーリンスした後、1500rpmで5秒空回転して停止させ、基板を移して超純水10秒リンスとスピン乾燥を実施した。ランプ処理終了時の液温の上昇は10℃以下であった。基板は走査型電子顕微鏡で観察してレジストの完全な剥離と金属膜がまったくダメージを受けていないことを確認した。尚、炭酸エチレンで同様の効果を得るには100℃以上の浸漬剥離処理が必要であった。   In this peeling test, the 85/15 solution was used as the treatment solution. When the rotation of the dish was set at 60 rpm, the temperature of the dish bottom surface became 200 ° C. in 10 seconds (this rise time is preferably short. For this purpose, a heating plate is provided instead of the heat insulating material 9 and preheating is performed. Preferably). The irradiation interruption of the flat plate furnace was adjusted so that the temperature could be maintained. After 30 seconds, spray rinsing was performed at 1000 rpm for 5 seconds, followed by idle rotation at 1500 rpm for 5 seconds to stop, and the substrate was transferred to rinse with ultrapure water for 10 seconds and spin drying. The rise in the liquid temperature at the end of the lamp treatment was 10 ° C. or less. The substrate was observed with a scanning electron microscope and it was confirmed that the resist was completely peeled off and the metal film was not damaged at all. In order to obtain the same effect with ethylene carbonate, a dip peeling treatment at 100 ° C. or higher was necessary.

皿の構造から回転時には液の飛散が上向くので、この装置ではチャンバー壁21を改造して上方に内向きの庇を設けた。またチャンバー底22は処理液が回収出来る凹構造とし、回収液は配管で水冷機構を付属させたオゾン処理タンク23に送られる。タンク23に数回分の吸着液が集まったところで室温のオゾンバブリング24を実施したところ10秒程度でレジストが分解された。液は10分も放置されるとオゾンは分解して消滅する。この液は貯蔵タンク14に戻され、再使用・循環処理に供される。オゾン通気時間は短くて済み、しかも室温処理であるから発生する過酸化物は少なく、150回以上の循環も可能である。炭酸エチレン処理に比して液の寿命は50%以上伸びる。   Since the liquid splashes upward during rotation from the structure of the dish, the chamber wall 21 was modified in this apparatus to provide an inward ridge above. The chamber bottom 22 has a concave structure capable of recovering the processing liquid, and the recovered liquid is sent to an ozone processing tank 23 provided with a water cooling mechanism by piping. When the adsorbed liquid for several times collected in the tank 23, the ozone bubbling 24 at room temperature was performed, and the resist was decomposed in about 10 seconds. If the liquid is left for 10 minutes, the ozone will decompose and disappear. This liquid is returned to the storage tank 14 for re-use / circulation. Ozone aeration time is short, and since it is a room temperature treatment, less peroxide is generated and circulation of 150 times or more is possible. The life of the liquid is increased by 50% or more compared with the ethylene carbonate treatment.

《実施例2》
デュアルダマシン銅配線は先端的ULSIの超微細構造における標準的プロセスの一つである。銅の埋込みを行う前のドライエッチング後の構造のモデルを図6に示す。このプロセスは銅配線25が層間絶縁膜26に埋込まれたCMP平坦化面上の配線にかかわるもので、本実施例ではSiCバリア層27の上に層間絶縁膜28とその膜内のSiCエッチングストップ膜29が積層しており、膜29にはヴィア孔用開口部が設けてあって、マスクのレジスト30により銅配線溝31とヴィア孔32が形成されたテストウェーハを利用した。膜28は低誘電率のメチルシルセスキオキサン(Methylsilsesquioxane(MSQ))が使われている。このウェーハから2cm×2cmのチップを切出して、室温で準備された2重量%のシュウ酸を含む75/25液によりドライエッチングで硬化変質したレジストのアッシング無しの除去と微細孔内の洗浄を試みた。
Example 2
Dual damascene copper wiring is one of the standard processes in advanced ULSI ultrastructure. FIG. 6 shows a model of the structure after dry etching before copper is embedded. This process is related to the wiring on the CMP flattened surface in which the copper wiring 25 is embedded in the interlayer insulating film 26. In this embodiment, the interlayer insulating film 28 and the SiC etching in the film are formed on the SiC barrier layer 27. A stop film 29 is laminated, and a test wafer in which a via hole opening is provided in the film 29 and a copper wiring groove 31 and a via hole 32 are formed by a mask resist 30 is used. The film 28 is made of low dielectric constant methylsilsesquioxane (MSQ). A 2cm x 2cm chip was cut out from this wafer, and the ashing and removal of the resist hardened and altered by dry etching with 75/25 solution containing 2% by weight oxalic acid prepared at room temperature was attempted and cleaning in the micropores was attempted. It was.

微細孔形成の為に施されたドライエッチングでは、ヴィア孔底部のオーバーエッチングに際しスパッタされた銅がこれら微細孔の側壁から外にまで飛び散り、また銅の表面は酸化される。またヴィア孔も溝孔も側面にはレジスト変質物やエッチング堆積物が存在し、銅埋込の前にはこれらも含めてすべてを除去する洗浄が必要である。このような微細孔の洗浄には(1)洗浄液が確実に入り込み、(2)該液が除去対象を孔外に迅速に運び出した後、(3)該液をリンス液と置換し、次いで(4)リンス液を排除して乾燥する手順が必要となる。孔が微細になり深くなる程この洗浄は難しい。本発明の混合溶剤は既述のように200℃近く加熱すると粘性率が著しく低下し、表面張力も低下するので微細孔へ浸透しやすくなる。そこで75/25液でウェーハ表面に液層33を形成し、光加熱で膜の温度を急上昇させると基体表面に接する領域の液の温度が急上昇し、レジストと汚染物の除去ならびに上記(1)に記載の液浸透が効率的に進行する。   In the dry etching performed for forming the fine holes, the copper sputtered during the over-etching at the bottom of the via holes is scattered from the side walls of the fine holes to the outside, and the copper surface is oxidized. In addition, there are resist alterations and etching deposits on the side surfaces of both the via holes and the groove holes, and it is necessary to clean all of them including copper before filling with copper. In such fine pore cleaning, (1) the cleaning liquid surely enters, (2) the liquid quickly carries the object to be removed out of the hole, (3) the liquid is replaced with a rinsing liquid, and then ( 4) A procedure for removing the rinse solution and drying is required. This cleaning becomes more difficult as the pores become finer and deeper. As described above, when the mixed solvent of the present invention is heated near 200 ° C., the viscosity is remarkably lowered and the surface tension is also lowered, so that it easily penetrates into the fine pores. Therefore, when the liquid layer 33 is formed on the wafer surface with 75/25 liquid and the temperature of the film is rapidly increased by light heating, the temperature of the liquid in the region in contact with the substrate surface rapidly increases, and the resist and contaminants are removed and the above (1). The liquid permeation described in (1) proceeds efficiently.

剥離実験は、赤外線によるチップ剥離を行なった図3の皿2の中に処理液の供給口と排液口と底にチップの位置を固定する4個の小突起を設け、光線照射時はチップ面上の液層が一定方向に流動するように細工した。光照射はハロゲンランプ光を短パルスレーザ光に変えて実施した。微細構造の層間絶縁膜でもエネルギー吸収がおこるように、QスイッチNd:YAGレーザの第4高調波0.266μmの発振装置を用い、10KHzのレーザ光をレンズで集光して径200μmのスポットを100mm/秒、線密度10本/mmで走査した。この構造は水の残存が嫌われるのでイソプロピルアルコールでリンス後、操作をさらに1回繰返して行い、乾燥した後の走査型電子顕微鏡観察でレジストが剥離され孔及び溝の内部が清浄化されていることを確認した。処理液の添加シュウ酸を0.1重量%としたときは3回の繰返しでほとんど残渣がなくなったが、シュウ酸を添加しないと十分な残渣の排除は出来なかった。   In the peeling experiment, four small protrusions for fixing the position of the tip to the processing liquid supply port, the drainage port, and the bottom are provided in the dish 2 of FIG. The liquid layer on the surface was crafted to flow in a certain direction. Light irradiation was carried out by changing the halogen lamp light to a short pulse laser light. A Q-switched Nd: YAG laser fourth harmonic 0.266 μm oscillator is used to collect energy even in a fine interlayer insulating film, and a 10 KHz laser beam is collected by a lens to form a spot having a diameter of 200 μm. Scanning was performed at 100 mm / second and a linear density of 10 lines / mm. Since this structure dislikes the remaining of water, the operation is repeated once more after rinsing with isopropyl alcohol, and the resist is peeled off and the inside of the hole and groove is cleaned by observation with a scanning electron microscope after drying. It was confirmed. When the amount of oxalic acid added to the treatment solution was 0.1% by weight, almost no residue was found after 3 repetitions. However, if oxalic acid was not added, sufficient residue could not be eliminated.

《実施例3》
本実施例はローラーコンベアで搬送される液晶デバイス用ガラス基板表面のレジストを室温の剥離液で剥離する方法に関する。生産性の立場から剥離は短時間で遂行されるのが望ましいので、通常50〜70℃程度に剥離液を加熱してローラー軸方向の線上に配置されたノズルからスプレーすることが行われている。炭酸エチレン加熱液で処理する場合は蒸気圧が低いので、基板面が乾くこと無くまた直接水リンスに移行できる点でも他の剥離液より優れている。この利点がそのまま活かされる本発明混合溶媒による室温の除去を、20cm角に切断したレジスト塗布ガラス基板で実験した。実験装置の概念図を図7に示す。基板36がローラー37で矢印方向に1m/分の速さで搬送されるとき、70℃炭酸エチレン3秒のスプレーでは剥離不完全、6秒で剥離されるように基板へのノボラック型レジストの塗布条件並びにノズルおよびスプレー条件を決めた。
Example 3
This example relates to a method of peeling a resist on the surface of a glass substrate for a liquid crystal device conveyed by a roller conveyor with a peeling solution at room temperature. Peeling is desirably performed in a short time from the standpoint of productivity. Usually, the peeling solution is heated to about 50 to 70 ° C. and sprayed from a nozzle arranged on a line in the roller axis direction. . In the case of treating with an ethylene carbonate heating liquid, the vapor pressure is low, which is superior to other stripping liquids in that the substrate surface does not dry and can be directly transferred to water rinsing. The removal at room temperature with the mixed solvent of the present invention in which this advantage was utilized as it was was experimented with a resist-coated glass substrate cut into 20 cm square. A conceptual diagram of the experimental apparatus is shown in FIG. When the substrate 36 is transported at a speed of 1 m / min in the direction of the arrow by the roller 37, the novolac resist is applied to the substrate so that the peeling is incomplete when sprayed with ethylene carbonate at 70 ° C. for 3 seconds and peels in 6 seconds. Conditions and nozzle and spray conditions were determined.

貯蔵タンク14中の室温の混合溶媒75/25液15が配管でオゾン通気槽38に送られ、槽内の液39にオゾンガス40がバブリングされ、基板の移動と共にオゾン溶解液(オゾン濃度70mg/L以上)が送液ポンプPにより加熱液の場合と同じ吐出条件でノズル41から6秒スプレーされた。処理済の基板は純水スプレー後風乾して顕微鏡で観察した結果十分にレジストが剥離されていることを確認した。ドライエッチング処理等でレジスト剥離が難しくなった場合は、液15を別に設けた配管と送液ポンプPより高圧噴射用ノズル42で基板面に6秒噴射する剥離処理を追加した。実施例1の基板でもテストを行なったが、この処理でほとんど剥離された。処理時間を延長すれば確実に除去出来る。走査型電子顕微鏡による観察では金属膜はまったくダメージを受けていない。   The mixed solvent 75/25 liquid 15 at room temperature in the storage tank 14 is sent to the ozone aeration tank 38 by piping, the ozone gas 40 is bubbled into the liquid 39 in the tank, and the ozone solution (ozone concentration 70 mg / L) is moved along with the movement of the substrate. The above was sprayed from the nozzle 41 for 6 seconds by the liquid feed pump P under the same discharge conditions as the heating liquid. The treated substrate was sprayed with pure water and then air-dried and observed with a microscope. As a result, it was confirmed that the resist was sufficiently removed. When resist stripping becomes difficult due to dry etching processing or the like, a stripping process in which a liquid 15 is separately provided and sprayed to the substrate surface by a high-pressure spray nozzle 42 from a liquid feed pump P for 6 seconds was added. Although the test was also performed on the substrate of Example 1, it was almost peeled off by this treatment. If the processing time is extended, it can be removed reliably. The metal film is not damaged at all by observation with a scanning electron microscope.

ローラー36の下に凹構造の処理液受け43を設け、処理済みの液は貯蔵タンク23に回収される。ノズル42を使用した場合は、タンク23の中でオゾンガスバブリング24を実施する。オゾン通気は通常30秒を要しない。尚、ノズル41のみ使用の場合は、通常はレジスト剥離と同時にレジスト分解が起きるのでタンク23内のオゾン処理は不要である。いずれにせよ、タンク23の液はタンク14に移され、液は多数回繰り返し使用される。尚、イオン注入で強く硬化したレジストに対してもノズル41とのズル42の処理を反復すれば、時間を要するものの剥離は可能である。この場合はタンク23中でのレジストのオゾン分解には数分以上を要する。しかし20〜400kHz超音波照射を併用すれば1〜2分での分解が可能である。   A treatment liquid receiver 43 having a concave structure is provided under the roller 36, and the treated liquid is collected in the storage tank 23. When the nozzle 42 is used, ozone gas bubbling 24 is performed in the tank 23. Ozone ventilation usually does not require 30 seconds. In the case where only the nozzle 41 is used, the ozone decomposition in the tank 23 is unnecessary because the resist decomposition usually occurs simultaneously with the resist peeling. In any case, the liquid in the tank 23 is transferred to the tank 14, and the liquid is used repeatedly many times. Even if the resist is strongly cured by ion implantation, if the treatment of the nozzle 42 with the nozzle 41 is repeated, the resist can be removed although it takes time. In this case, it takes several minutes or more for the ozonolysis of the resist in the tank 23. However, if 20 to 400 kHz ultrasonic wave irradiation is used in combination, decomposition in 1 to 2 minutes is possible.

この実験装置のノズル類を旧に復して40℃の炭酸エチレン処理を行なった場合と75/25液でのこの処理とで循環処理能力を比較したところ、後者はやはり処理温度が低いだけ有利になり,繰返し可能回数が50%以上増加した。しかし多数回繰り返しを進めると当然レジスト由来の或いは装置材料由来の金属汚染が増加して基板を逆に汚染する危険がある。そこで50回あるいは100回等を節目にして、処理液を貯蔵タンク44にバイパスさせ、半導体デバイスの基本構成材料である高純度シリコンの微粉末を充填した塔46と同じく基本構成材料の酸化膜と同質の高純度石英ガラス微粉の充填塔47に対して、液45を順に通過させ精密フィルターで除粒子処理をして原タンク14に送ると、基板のデバイス活性領域に液から吸着汚染する可能性がある有害金属を選択的に低減させた液に再生することが出来る(特許文献7の応用)。微粒に吸着固定された金属は、稀フッ酸をそれぞれの充填塔に流すことにより容易に除去できるので、並列処理を構成すれば交互の再生で連続精製が可能になる。   When the nozzles of this experimental apparatus were restored to the old one and the ethylene carbonate treatment at 40 ° C. was performed, and this treatment with 75/25 liquid was compared, the latter was advantageous only because the treatment temperature was low. The repeatable number of times increased by more than 50%. However, if the process is repeated a number of times, there is a risk that the metal contamination derived from the resist or the device material will naturally increase and the substrate will be contaminated. Therefore, 50 times or 100 times or the like is a milestone, the processing liquid is bypassed to the storage tank 44, and the oxide film of the basic constituent material is the same as the tower 46 filled with the fine powder of high purity silicon which is the basic constituent material of the semiconductor device. If the liquid 45 is sequentially passed through the packed tower 47 of high-purity quartz glass fine powder of the same quality and subjected to particle removal processing with a precision filter and sent to the raw tank 14, there is a possibility that the device active region of the substrate will be adsorbed and contaminated from the liquid. It can be regenerated into a liquid in which certain harmful metals are selectively reduced (application of Patent Document 7). Since the metal adsorbed and fixed to the fine particles can be easily removed by flowing dilute hydrofluoric acid through each packed tower, if it is configured in parallel, it can be continuously purified by alternating regeneration.

ノボラック型のポジレジストに対し本発明の多数回繰り返しオゾン処理を行った後の廃液には分析によって水、グリコール酸、ギ酸、酢酸、シュウ酸、酪酸等のレジスト分解生成物が見られ、また原子吸光分析によれば数十ppbのFeやNaが検出される。処理液として85/15液や75/25液が使われ、廃液における炭酸エチレンの比率が大きい場合の炭酸エチレン回収法として、結晶析出法と正常固化法の組合せを試みた。

In the waste liquid after the ozone treatment of the present invention is repeated many times for the novolak-type positive resist, resist decomposition products such as water, glycolic acid, formic acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid and butyric acid are found by analysis, According to absorption analysis, several tens of ppb of Fe and Na are detected. A 85/15 or 75/25 solution was used as the treatment solution, and a combination of a crystal precipitation method and a normal solidification method was tried as an ethylene carbonate recovery method when the ratio of ethylene carbonate in the waste solution was large.

大型のポリエチレン製広口瓶に溜め、発泡スチロール製断熱用キャップを瓶の上方に被せて約−30℃の冷凍倉庫に1夜放置した。図1の凝固点図に従って炭酸エチレン結晶を析出させ、網蓋を取り付けて瓶を倒置してγ‐ブチロラクトンと炭酸エチレンがほぼ2:1の混合比で存在する残液を流出させた後、室温の環境に移して加温し、一旦瓶内の炭酸エチレン結晶を熔解する。僅かに結晶が残存している段階で加温を中止し、典型的な正常固化法を下方から適用して再結晶精製を2回繰り返し、当初の炭酸エチレン成分量の約70%を回収した。液体クロマトグラフィや原子吸光分析によれば、上述のレジスト分解生成物及び金属不純物は1/10以下に精製されており、基板の清浄度を特に重視する必要のない付着物の除去には十分再利用できる。85/15液の廃液の場合は冷凍庫放置は−15℃程度でも十分である。   The bottle was stored in a large-sized polyethylene wide-mouthed bottle, and a heat insulating cap made of polystyrene foam was put on the upper part of the bottle and left in a freezer warehouse at about −30 ° C. overnight. According to the freezing point diagram of FIG. 1, ethylene carbonate crystals are precipitated, a net lid is attached, the bottle is turned upside down, and the residual liquid in which γ-butyrolactone and ethylene carbonate are present in a mixing ratio of approximately 2: 1 is allowed to flow out. Move to the environment and heat, once melt the ethylene carbonate crystals in the bottle. Heating was stopped when a slight amount of crystals remained, and a typical normal solidification method was applied from below, and recrystallization purification was repeated twice to recover about 70% of the original ethylene carbonate component amount. According to liquid chromatography and atomic absorption analysis, the above-mentioned resist decomposition products and metal impurities are refined to 1/10 or less, and they are sufficiently reused to remove deposits that do not require special emphasis on substrate cleanliness. it can. In the case of 85/15 liquid waste, it is sufficient to leave it in the freezer at about -15 ° C.

Example 5
An embodiment in which the present invention is applied to cleaning of a soldering flux that affects the reliability of an electronic circuit board will be described. Since the main component of this type of flux is rosin, an experiment was conducted on a test substrate in which rosin (Kanto Chemical Reagent) was sprayed on a copper plate and melted at 150 ° C. for 20 minutes. The evaluation of removal was based on the residual rate calculated from the residual amount after washing the rosin adhesion amount in advance by weight difference. A conceptual diagram of the apparatus used is shown in FIG. Using a processing tank 49 having an upper edge 48 of a mating surface that allows the substrate to be immersed vertically, ozone gas can be bubbled (not shown in the illustration of the bubbler) from the supply pipe 51 at the bottom of the processing liquid 50 inside. It was configured as follows. Reference numeral 52 denotes an ozone exhaust gas discharge pipe. In a cap tank 54 having a lower edge 53 with a mating surface, a cleaning target substrate 55 can be set, and a mechanism (not shown) that can be lowered and raised in the processing liquid tank is incorporated.

一連の洗浄は槽49へ55/45液を溜め、オゾンガスをバブリングすることから始まる。テスト基板55をセットしたキャップ槽54を被せた後、この槽の頭頂部に設けたガス導入管56からオゾンガスを導入して槽内の空気と置換する。その後、基板を下降させ1秒浸漬して元の位置へ復帰させて、10秒放置する。この操作を3度繰返した後、キャップ槽を移動して下縁53をリンス槽57の上縁58のすり合せ面に合わせる。基板を純水59内に下降させてオーバーフローリンスを約1分施した後、基板を復帰させキャップ槽を離す。次に、導入管56から熱風を導入して基板を乾燥させる。室温になるまで乾燥基板を放置した後、重量法評価を行った。その結果、ロジンの残存率は測定誤差の範囲に入り、除去は満足に行われることが分かった。ロジンやエポキシ樹脂(未硬化のもの)等はSP値がフェノール樹脂より小さいので、γ−ブチロラクトンの比率が多い方が溶解能力の点で望ましい。基板上の処理液は液膜の状態でオゾンと接するので、瞬時にオゾン濃度が100ppm近くまで高まる。しかも処理液中のγ−ブチロラクトンは短時間の高濃度オゾンとの接触ではほとんど変質しない。溶解したこれらの有機系物質は液50のオゾンによって分解するが、生成物質の基板への付着は少なく純水リンスの効率がよい。   A series of cleaning starts by storing 55/45 liquid in the tank 49 and bubbling ozone gas. After covering the cap tank 54 on which the test substrate 55 is set, ozone gas is introduced from a gas introduction pipe 56 provided at the top of the tank to replace the air in the tank. Thereafter, the substrate is lowered, dipped for 1 second, returned to the original position, and left for 10 seconds. After repeating this operation three times, the cap tank is moved so that the lower edge 53 is aligned with the mating surface of the upper edge 58 of the rinse tank 57. After the substrate is lowered into the pure water 59 and overflow rinse is performed for about 1 minute, the substrate is returned and the cap tank is released. Next, hot air is introduced from the introduction pipe 56 to dry the substrate. The dry substrate was allowed to stand until it reached room temperature, and then gravimetric evaluation was performed. As a result, it was found that the residual ratio of rosin was within the range of measurement error, and the removal was performed satisfactorily. Since rosin, epoxy resin (uncured resin) and the like have an SP value smaller than that of phenol resin, a higher ratio of γ-butyrolactone is desirable in terms of solubility. Since the treatment liquid on the substrate is in contact with ozone in a liquid film state, the ozone concentration instantaneously increases to near 100 ppm. Moreover, γ-butyrolactone in the treatment liquid hardly changes in quality when contacted with high-concentration ozone for a short time. These dissolved organic substances are decomposed by the ozone of the liquid 50, but there is little adhesion of product substances to the substrate, and the efficiency of pure water rinsing is good.

実施例3の液晶デバイス用ガラス基板表面のレジスト剥離実施例ではイオン注入で強く硬化したレジストに対しても時間をかけて処理を反復すれば剥離は可能であった。更に生産性を上げるため、図9のように装置に僅かな変更を行った。図9では、処理液供給用配管60で供給される75/25混合溶媒液をオゾン添加せずに加熱器61で高温に加熱し、窒素ガスを使って2流体ジェットノズル62により液を微粒化し高速気流と共にレジスト硬化面に衝撃を与え加熱との相乗効果を計った。この混合溶媒では引火点が130℃を超えるため、120℃でも安全に操作できる。また排液は装置内において循環でオゾン再生できる。よって、十分の流量が使用でき、液滴速度を100m/s以上としても容易に連続稼動できる。このような操作条件ではPを1015/cmイオン注入したレジスト膜でも経済的な基板搬送速度で剥離が可能である。
高温液で剥離してもタンク23に入るとかなり自然冷却されるが、液温は室温よりはるかに高く、これではオゾン処理にあたりγ-ブチロラクトンの分解が早い。一方、排液を再生し循環して加熱再使用する点からは排液の液温が下がりすぎるのは好ましくない。そこでタンク23の中のオゾンバブラー63を微小泡が大量に発生する構造とし、オゾンガス供給系にガス冷却器64を設けて冷却されたガスがオゾンバブラー63に入るようにした。
実施例では-20℃に冷却したガスを溶解したレジストで褐色化した液に送ったところ色は瞬時に消え、溶解した物質は短時間で分解される。細かい針状未分解物が液に分散するがこれは容易に精密フィルターで分離除去できた。オゾンの供給は無色化と同時に中止したが、30回の分解処理ではγ-ブチロラクトンへの反応は殆ど検出されなかった。この場合レジスト分解反応は泡の気液界面にごく近い低温の狭領域でおこり、γ-ブチロラクトン自体への影響は殆どないと推定される。
Example 6
Resist peeling of the surface of the glass substrate for liquid crystal device of Example 3 In the example, even if the resist was strongly cured by ion implantation, peeling was possible if the treatment was repeated over time. In order to further increase productivity, the apparatus was slightly changed as shown in FIG. In FIG. 9, the 75/25 mixed solvent liquid supplied by the processing liquid supply pipe 60 is heated to a high temperature by a heater 61 without adding ozone, and the liquid is atomized by a two-fluid jet nozzle 62 using nitrogen gas. A high-speed air current was impacted on the resist-cured surface and a synergistic effect with heating was measured. Since the flash point of this mixed solvent exceeds 130 ° C, it can be safely operated even at 120 ° C. The drainage can be regenerated by ozone circulation in the device. Therefore, a sufficient flow rate can be used, and continuous operation can be easily performed even when the droplet velocity is 100 m / s or more. Under such operating conditions, even a resist film in which P is ion-implanted with 10 15 / cm 2 can be peeled off at an economical substrate transfer speed.
Even if it is peeled off with a high temperature liquid, it naturally cools when it enters the tank 23. However, the liquid temperature is much higher than room temperature, and in this case, the decomposition of γ-butyrolactone is quick in the ozone treatment. On the other hand, it is not preferable that the temperature of the drained liquid is too low from the viewpoint that the drained liquid is regenerated, circulated, and reused by heating. Therefore, the ozone bubbler 63 in the tank 23 has a structure in which a large amount of fine bubbles is generated, and the gas cooler 64 is provided in the ozone gas supply system so that the cooled gas enters the ozone bubbler 63.
In the example, when the gas cooled to −20 ° C. is sent to a solution browned with a dissolved resist, the color disappears instantly and the dissolved substance is decomposed in a short time. Fine needle-shaped undecomposed matter was dispersed in the liquid, but this could be easily separated and removed with a precision filter. The supply of ozone was stopped simultaneously with the decolorization, but reaction to γ-butyrolactone was hardly detected after 30 decomposition treatments. In this case, it is presumed that the resist decomposition reaction occurs in a narrow region at a low temperature very close to the gas-liquid interface of the foam, and hardly affects γ-butyrolactone itself.
