실리콘 웨이퍼 위에 TiAlC막, 텅스텐막(W), 질화티타늄막(TiN)이 각각 단일막으로 증착된 웨이퍼를 준비하였다. 상기의 웨이퍼 기판을 2x2cm 크기로 샘플링하여, 표 1의 식각액 조성물을 60℃로 승온시킨 후, 상기 기판을 상기 승온된 식각액 조성물에 1분간 침적하였다. 초순수(DIW)로 세정한 후 Ellipsometer(SE-MG-1000)와 SEM을 통해 막두께의 변화를 측정하여 식각 속도를 계산하고 그 결과를 하기 표 2에 나타냈다. A wafer in which a TiAlC film, a tungsten film (W), and a titanium nitride film (TiN) were respectively deposited as a single film was prepared on a silicon wafer. The wafer substrate was sampled in a size of 2x2 cm, the temperature of the etchant composition of Table 1 was raised to 60 ° C, and the substrate was immersed in the etchant composition for 1 minute. After washing with ultrapure water (DIW), the change in film thickness was measured using an ellipsometer (SE-MG-1000) and SEM to calculate the etching rate, and the results are shown in Table 2 below.

상기 표 2에 나타난 바와 같이, 본 발명의 식각액 조성물인 실시예 1 내지 8의 Ti-Al계 합금막 식각액 조성물은 TiAlC막에 대한 식각속도가 우수하였다. 또한, W막 및 TiN막에 대한 식각속도는 매우 느리기 때문에 TiAlC막의 식각시 W막 및 TiN막에 대한 손상은 무시할 정도임을 알 수 있었다. As shown in Table 2, the Ti-Al-based alloy film etchant compositions of Examples 1 to 8, which are the etchant compositions of the present invention, had excellent etching rates for TiAlC films. In addition, since the etching rate of the W film and the TiN film is very slow, it can be seen that the damage to the W film and the TiN film is negligible during the etching of the TiAlC film.

반면, 비교예 1 내지 4의 Ti-Al계 합금막 식각액 조성물은 TiAlC막에 대한 식각속도가 너무 느리거나, W막 또는 TiN막에 대한 식각속도는 너무 빠르기 때문에 TiAlC막의 식각에 적용하기 어려운 것을 확인하였다. On the other hand, it was confirmed that the Ti-Al-based alloy film etchant compositions of Comparative Examples 1 to 4 were difficult to apply to the etching of TiAlC films because the etching rates for TiAlC films were too slow or the etching rates for W films or TiN films were too fast. did
