반도체 장치는 고속으로 동작하는 동시에 대용량의 저장 능력을 가질 것이 요구된다. 이러한 요구에 부응하여, 상기 반도체 장치는 집적도, 신뢰도 및 응답 속도 등을 향상시키는 방향으로 제조 기술이 발전되고 있다.Semiconductor devices are required to operate at high speeds and have large storage capabilities. In response to these demands, manufacturing technology for semiconductor devices is being developed to improve integration, reliability, and response speed.
상술한 반도체 장치에 있어서, 폴리실리콘은 게이트 전극, 캐패시터 전극, 플러그, 식각 마스크 등을 형성하는 물질로서, 매우 다양한 용도로 사용되고 있다. 이를 위해 폴리실리콘을 이용하여 막을 형성하는 방법과 함께, 형성된 폴리실리콘막을 제거하는 방법도 다양하게 개발되어 왔다.In the above-described semiconductor device, polysilicon is a material that forms gate electrodes, capacitor electrodes, plugs, etch masks, etc., and is used for a wide variety of purposes. For this purpose, in addition to methods of forming a film using polysilicon, various methods of removing the formed polysilicon film have been developed.
폴리실리콘막을 제거하는 방법은 크게 건식 식각 공정과 습식 식각 공정으로 나눌 수 있다. 상기 습식 식각 공정은 화학적 식각 용액을 이용하여 식각하는 방법으로서, 제거하고자 하는 대상체를 식각 용액에 담그는 등의 방법으로 식각 공정이 수행된다. Methods for removing the polysilicon film can be broadly divided into a dry etching process and a wet etching process. The wet etching process is a method of etching using a chemical etching solution, and the etching process is performed by immersing the object to be removed in the etching solution.
종래의 폴리실리콘 식각액으로서, 대한민국 공개특허 제10-2011-0044214호는 (A) 수산화 테트라메틸암모늄, (B) 히드록실 아민, 및 (C) 이산화탄소(CO2) 및/또는 테트라메틸암모늄 탄산염을 함유한 pH 13 이상의 알칼리성 수용액인 실리콘 에칭액을 개시하고 있다. As a conventional polysilicon etchant, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2011-0044214 uses (A) tetramethylammonium hydroxide, (B) hydroxyl amine, and (C) carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and/or tetramethylammonium carbonate.

그러나 상기 조성물들은 고온에서 식각을 진행해야 하므로 식각액 성분들의 휘발 및 분해로 인하여 식각액 성분이 빠르게 변화하므로 식각속도의 변화가 크다는 단점을 가지며, 과도한 에칭속도 때문에 바람직한 표면조도를 확보할 수 없다는 단점을 갖는다. However, since the above compositions require etching at high temperatures, the etchant components change rapidly due to volatilization and decomposition of the etchant components, resulting in large changes in the etching rate. They also have the disadvantage of not being able to secure desirable surface roughness due to the excessive etching rate. .

Based on the above-mentioned standards, if the content is less than 0.1% by weight, the problem of slowing down the etching speed of polysilicon may occur, and if it exceeds 30% by weight, the effect of increasing the etching speed due to an increase in content will not appear, and uneconomical problems may occur. There are concerns.
(B) 불소계 계면활성제(B) Fluorine-based surfactant
본 발명의 식각액 조성물에 포함되는 불소계 계면활성제는 친수성기 및 소수성기를 포함하는 화합물의 주쇄 또는 측쇄에 퍼플루오로알킬기를 포함하는 탄화수소계 계면활성제를 의미한다. 특히, 소수성기에 포함되어 있는 탄소에 결합된 수소가 전부 불소로 치환된 것이 더욱 바람직하게 사용될 수 있다.The fluorine-based surfactant included in the etchant composition of the present invention refers to a hydrocarbon-based surfactant containing a perfluoroalkyl group in the main chain or side chain of a compound containing a hydrophilic group and a hydrophobic group. In particular, one in which all of the hydrogen bonded to the carbon contained in the hydrophobic group is replaced with fluorine can be more preferably used.

Based on the above criteria, if the content is less than 0.1% by weight, there may be a problem that the polysilicon etching effect becomes insignificant, and if it exceeds 20% by weight, the polysilicon etching performance may deteriorate and the process time may be prolonged.

이어서, 시편을 꺼내 물로 세정한 후 질소를 이용하여 건조시킨 후, Elipsometer(FE5000S; Ostuka사 제조)를 사용하여 폴리실리콘의 막두께를 측정한 뒤 각각의 막두께 변화값으로 폴리실리콘막의 식각 속도를 계산하였다. 이때 식각 속도는 아래와 같은 기준으로 평가하였으며 그 결과를 하기 표 2에 나타내었다.Next, take out the specimen, wash it with water, dry it with nitrogen, measure the film thickness of the polysilicon using an Elipsometer (FE5000S; manufactured by Ostuka), and determine the etch rate of the polysilicon film based on each film thickness change value. Calculated. At this time, the etch rate was evaluated based on the following criteria, and the results are shown in Table 2 below.
<평가기준><Evaluation criteria>
◎: 식각 속도 80 Å/min 이상◎: Etching speed 80 Å/min or more
○: 식각 속도 40 내지 80 Å/min 미만○: Etching rate less than 40 to 80 Å/min
△: 식각 속도 40 Å/min 미만△: Etching rate less than 40 Å/min
