Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a titanium nitride film etching liquid composition and an etching method of a titanium nitride film using the same. In particular, the present invention relates to an etching liquid composition having excellent selective etching ability of titanium nitride and titanium nitride-based metal, and an etching method of a titanium nitride film using the same.
Titanium nitride (TiN), a titanium-based metal, is used for semiconductor devices, liquid crystal displays, MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) devices, printed wiring boards, and the like as a base layer and a cap layer of precious metals, aluminum (Al), and copper (Cu) wiring. Moreover, in a semiconductor device, it may be used as a barrier metal and a gate metal.
Along with the titanium nitride or titanium nitride-based metal, tungsten or tungsten-based metals are used for liquid crystal displays, gate electrodes of thin film transistors of semiconductor devices, wiring, barrier layers, contact holes, via holes, and the like. It is also used as a tungsten heater in the field of MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems).
In particular, a nitride film such as TiN serves to prevent etching of the underlying material by inhibiting etching from the etchant composition as a barrier layer. Therefore, as a known etchant, it is difficult to etch a nitride film such as TiN. Thus, a method of removing the etchant using a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) method that adds the chemical properties of the etchant and the physical effects of polishing is generally used.
In the case of CMP, the process is complicated, there is a limitation in the application of the process, there are many sources of other pollution, and the cost is inefficient because it is higher than the general wet process.
Accordingly, the development of an etchant composition capable of removing TiN through a wet treatment method is required. When the etchant composition of the present invention is used, the titanium nitride film is efficiently removed while controlling the etching amount of tungsten used in a process such as a via hole. It can be effectively used in device manufacturing processes such as semiconductors.
There is a Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2009-0049366 as a conventional etching solution for the wet etching. The etchant is a nitride film etching liquid composition comprising a hydroxycarboxylic acid compound, a fluorine-based compound, an oxidizing agent, and water, an etching solution composition for selectively etching SiON, SiN-based nitride film with respect to the polysilicon film, or selective etching function for titanium nitride There is a problem that does not represent.
In addition, the Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2010-0080761 provides an etchant comprising a fluorine compound, an oxidizing agent (nitric acid), water, an additional oxidizing agent, the etchant is titanium (Ti) or aluminum (Al) and alloys thereof (Al -Ti) as a batch etching solution does not have an etching function for tartan nitride, there is a problem that does not exhibit a selective etching function for this.
Accordingly, in the manufacturing process of the semiconductor device, the liquid crystal display device, and the MEMS device, when etching titanium nitride, development of an etchant composition capable of selective eating without a etching function for tungsten or tungsten alloy is required.

In particular, the morpholine compound is a compound containing O (CH 2 CH 2 ) 2 NH and has a slightly alkaline pKa value of about 8 to 10.
The amount of tungsten etching may be high due to acidic properties such as nitric acid used in the present invention, and the alkaline properties of the basic compound may weaken the acidity of the composition to reduce the etching of tungsten.
