Description
本発明は薄膜トランジスタ液晶表示装置のエッチング組成物及び薄膜トランジスタ液晶表示装置の製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to an etching composition for a thin film transistor liquid crystal display device and a method for manufacturing the thin film transistor liquid crystal display device.
エッチング工程は窮極的に基板上に微細回路を形成する過程であって、現像工程によって形成されたフォトレジストパターンと同一の金属パターンを形成する。
エッチング工程はその方式によって大きく湿式エッチングと乾式エッチングに区分され、湿式エッチングは金属などと反応して腐蝕させる酸系の化学薬品を用いてフォトレジストパターンのない部分を溶かして出すことであり、乾式エッチングはイオンを加速させて露出部位の金属を除去することによってパターンを形成することである。
The etching process is a process of extremely forming a fine circuit on the substrate, and forms the same metal pattern as the photoresist pattern formed by the development process.
The etching process is roughly divided into wet etching and dry etching depending on the method, and wet etching is to dissolve and remove the part without the photoresist pattern using acid-based chemicals that react with metals and corrode. Etching is the formation of a pattern by accelerating ions to remove the metal at the exposed sites.
前記乾式エッチングは湿式エッチングに比べて、異方性プロファイルを有しエッチング制御力が優れるという長所がある。しかし、装備が高価であり、大面積化の困難があり、エッチング速度が遅いため生産性が低下するという問題点がある。 The dry etching has an advantage that it has an anisotropic profile and has excellent etching control power compared to the wet etching. However, there are problems that the equipment is expensive, it is difficult to increase the area, and the productivity is lowered because the etching rate is slow.
反面、前記湿式エッチングは乾式エッチングに比べて、大量および大型処理が可能であり、エッチング速度が速いので、生産性が高く、装備が安価であるという長所がある。しかし、前記湿式エッチングはエッチング液および純水の使用量が多く、廃液量が多いという問題点がある。 On the other hand, the wet etching is advantageous in that it can be processed in a large amount and a large size, and the etching rate is fast, so that the productivity is high and the equipment is inexpensive. However, the wet etching has a problem in that the amount of etching solution and pure water used is large and the amount of waste liquid is large.
一般に、乾式エッチングを行う場合、表面の部分硬化されたフォトレジストを除去するためにプラズマアッシング工程が追加されることがある。従って、装備のコスト、工程時間損失などの生産性低下および製品競争力弱化をもたらすことがあり、実際現場では湿式エッチングが主に使用されているのが実情である。 In general, when performing dry etching, a plasma ashing process may be added to remove partially cured photoresist on the surface. Therefore, there is a possibility that the productivity decreases such as equipment cost and process time loss, and the product competitiveness is weakened. In practice, wet etching is mainly used in the field.
また、湿式エッチングに使用されるエッチング液はより精密な微細回路が要求されるため、エッチングしようとする金属の種類に特定されるように適用されている。
一例に、Al単一膜をエッチングするエッチング液として下記の特許文献1および特許文献2に燐酸、硝酸、酢酸、界面活性剤および水で構成されるエッチング液が開示されている。
Further, since an etching solution used for wet etching requires a more precise fine circuit, it is applied so as to be specified for the type of metal to be etched.
As an example, Patent Literature 1 and Patent Literature 2 below disclose an etching solution composed of phosphoric acid, nitric acid, acetic acid, a surfactant, and water as an etching solution for etching an Al single film.
また、下記の特許文献3はAlNd膜をエッチングするために燐酸、硝酸、酢酸、水、およびフルオロカーボン系界面活性剤を含むエッチング液について開示している。下記の特許文献4はアルミニウムおよびITOをエッチングするためにシュウ酸および組成物のpHを3〜4.5に調節できる酸と塩酸、燐酸、および硝酸を含むエッチング液組成物について開示されている。また、下記の特許文献5には銀または銀合金をエッチングするために燐酸、硝酸、酢酸、およびポタシウムオキシサルフェートを含む配線用エッチング液について開示している。さらに、下記の特許文献6はIZOをエッチングするために塩酸、酢酸、阻害剤、および水を含むエッチング液組成物について開示している。 Patent Document 3 below discloses an etchant containing phosphoric acid, nitric acid, acetic acid, water, and a fluorocarbon surfactant for etching an AlNd film. The following Patent Document 4 discloses an etching solution composition containing acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, and nitric acid that can adjust the pH of oxalic acid and the composition to 3 to 4.5 in order to etch aluminum and ITO. Patent Document 5 below discloses a wiring etching solution containing phosphoric acid, nitric acid, acetic acid, and potassium oxysulfate for etching silver or a silver alloy. Furthermore, the following patent document 6 discloses an etching solution composition containing hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, an inhibitor, and water for etching IZO.
下記の特許文献7にはソースおよびドレイン電極用MoまたはMoW(モリブデンとタングステンの合金)をエッチングするために燐酸、硝酸、酢酸、酸化調整剤、および水を含むエッチング液組成物について開示されている。 Patent Document 7 below discloses an etchant composition containing phosphoric acid, nitric acid, acetic acid, an oxidation regulator, and water for etching Mo or MoW (molybdenum and tungsten alloy) for source and drain electrodes. .
しかし、前記のような従来のエッチング液は、一つの金属膜のみをエッチングするための用途に適用されるため、装備と工程の効率性側面でその効果が低下するので、同時に複数の金属膜をエッチングするための組成物について持続的に研究されている。 However, since the conventional etching solution as described above is applied to an application for etching only one metal film, the effect is reduced in terms of equipment and process efficiency. There is a continual study of compositions for etching.
これに関する一例に、下記の特許文献8および特許文献9はMo/AlまたはMo/AlNd、MoW/AlNdの二重膜をエッチングするために燐酸、硝酸、酢酸、および酸化調整剤を含むエッチング液について開示されている。また、下記の特許文献10はMo/Al(AlNd)/Mo膜をエッチングするために燐酸、硝酸、酢酸、および酸化調整剤を含むエッチング液について開示されている。 As an example of this, Patent Document 8 and Patent Document 9 below describe an etching solution containing phosphoric acid, nitric acid, acetic acid, and an oxidation regulator to etch a Mo / Al or Mo / AlNd, MoW / AlNd double film. It is disclosed. Patent Document 10 below discloses an etching solution containing phosphoric acid, nitric acid, acetic acid, and an oxidation regulator for etching a Mo / Al (AlNd) / Mo film.
また、下記の特許文献11、特許文献12、特許文献13はMo/AlNd、MoW/AlNd、Mo/AlNd/Mo、MoW/AlNd/MoW、Mo単一膜、およびMoW単一膜に全て適用可能なエッチング液として燐酸、硝酸、酢酸、モリブデンエッチング抑制剤(アンモニウム塩、カリウム塩)、および水を含むエッチング液について開示している。 The following Patent Document 11, Patent Document 12, and Patent Document 13 are all applicable to Mo / AlNd, MoW / AlNd, Mo / AlNd / Mo, MoW / AlNd / MoW, Mo single film, and MoW single film. An etching solution containing phosphoric acid, nitric acid, acetic acid, a molybdenum etching inhibitor (ammonium salt, potassium salt), and water as an etching solution is disclosed.
