4 to 6 are cross-sectional views illustrating the resist removal method according to the present invention.
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a device and a manufacturing method of a semiconductor device, and more particularly, to a resist removing device and a removal method.
Photolithography is used as a method for implementing a pattern to be formed in a semiconductor device. In the photolithography process, an etching target film and a resist film are coated on a substrate, and then a resist pattern is formed through an exposure and development process. The etching target layer is etched using the resist pattern as an etching mask, and then the resist pattern is removed.
The removal of the resist is carried out, for example, by using an oxygen plasma or by performing a separate strip process using a wet chemical. In addition, a cleaning process using a Sulfuric Acid Peroxide Mixture (SPM) or Ammonia Peroxide Mixture (APM) solution is essentially performed to clean resist residues and contaminants after a separate strip process.
Since the resist removal and cleaning process is carried out separately through each dedicated equipment, there is a need for equipment and equipment management for this purpose, and the manufacturing process is complicated and the process time is long. Accordingly, studies have been made to unify the resist removal and cleaning processes.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in an effort to provide a resist removal method capable of unifying resist removal and cleaning processes.
In order to achieve the above technical problem, the resist removal method according to the present invention comprises the steps of: loading the substrate on which the etching target film pattern and the resist pattern is formed into a device having an ultraviolet irradiation unit and a cleaning unit; Decomposing and removing the resist pattern into ultraviolet light; And cleaning the substrate from which the resist pattern has been removed.
The ultraviolet light is preferably used as excimer light having a wavelength of 172 nm.
Removing the resist pattern is preferably performed by supplying oxygen gas and nitrogen gas.
The cleaning of the substrate is preferably carried out by supplying ozone water of approximately 40 ~ 50 ℃.
The ozone water is preferably performed so as not to exceed 50 ppm.
After cleaning the substrate, the method may further include rinsing the substrate with ultrapure water including carbon dioxide.
In order to achieve the above another technical problem, the resist removing apparatus according to the present invention, the ultraviolet irradiation unit is made to remove the resist pattern by ultraviolet light; And a cleaning unit disposed adjacent to the ultraviolet irradiation unit and performing a cleaning process on the substrate from which the resist pattern is removed.
The ultraviolet irradiation part may include a reaction chamber having a space from which a resist pattern is removed; A stage disposed on a bottom surface of the reaction chamber and on which a substrate on which a resist pattern is formed is mounted; A plurality of ultraviolet light lamps installed above the reaction chamber so as to correspond to the stage at a predetermined interval; And an exhaust pipe for supplying a reaction gas into the reaction chamber.
The ultraviolet light lamp is preferably formed of excimer light having a wavelength of 193 nm.
The cleaning unit may include a rotating chuck disposed to rotate in the cleaning unit and to which the substrate on which the resist pattern is removed is mounted; And a nozzle for supplying a cleaning liquid to the substrate from which the resist pattern has been removed.
The apparatus may further include a moving unit disposed between the ultraviolet irradiation unit and the cleaning unit to move the substrate from the ultraviolet irradiation unit to the cleaning unit.
According to the present invention, a resist removal apparatus and a resist removal method for decomposing and removing a resist pattern into ultraviolet light and performing a cleaning process using ozone water in a resist removal apparatus having an ultraviolet irradiation section and a cleaning section are provided.
Accordingly, the yield of the device can be improved by removing and cleaning the resist pattern in a single device, thereby reducing the cost and processing time.

On the other hand, the distance between the substrate from which the resist pattern is removed and the nozzle may be approximately 20 mn away.
The resist removal method using the resist removal apparatus of such a structure is as follows. In the embodiment of the present invention, the photomask is described by way of example, but it can be applied to all cases where the resist is removed and the cleaning process of the semiconductor substrate is performed.

At this time, the decomposition of the resist pattern with ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 172nm may be decomposed at a rate of approximately 10nm / min. For example, when the resist pattern is formed to a thickness of about 200 nm, it may take about 20 minutes to decompose and remove the resist pattern with ultraviolet light.
Referring to FIG. 6, when the resist pattern (220 of FIG. 5) is removed from the ultraviolet irradiation part of FIG. 2, the substrate on which the resist pattern has been removed through the moving part (130 of FIG. 1) in the resist removing apparatus is cleaned (FIG. Is moved to 120). Then, the

After rinsing, a drying process is performed. The drying process may be performed by rotating the rotary chuck at approximately 1400 to 1600 rpm for 50 to 60 seconds to dry.
Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made by those skilled in the art within the technical spirit of the present invention. .
As described so far, according to the resist removing device and the resist removing method of the present invention, a resist pattern is decomposed to ultraviolet light and removed in a single device including an ultraviolet irradiation part and a cleaning part, and a cleaning process is performed using ozone water. Can be.
Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the generation of organic contaminants in removing the resist used in the related art, and to omit the cleaning process using the SPM or APM solution. In addition, since the resist removal and cleaning process are performed in a single device, the yield of the device can be improved by reducing costs and shortening the processing time.
