Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an array substrate for a liquid crystal display

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an array substrate for a liquid crystal display device; An etchant composition of a copper-based metal film; And a method of etching a copper-based metal film using the etchant composition.

The process of forming a metal wiring on a substrate in a semiconductor device is generally composed of a metal film forming process by sputtering or the like, a photoresist coating process, a photoresist forming process in an optional region by exposure and development, and an etching process , A cleaning process before and after the individual unit process, and the like. This etching process refers to a process of leaving a metal film in a selective region using a photoresist as a mask. Typically, dry etching using plasma or wet etching using an etching composition is used.

In such a semiconductor device, resistance of metal wiring has recently become a major concern. This is because resolving the RC signal delay problem in TFT-LCD (thin film transistor-liquid crystal display) is a key factor in increasing the panel size and achieving a high resolution, because the resistance is a major factor causing the RC signal delay. Therefore, it is essential to develop a low-resistance material in order to realize reduction of the RC signal delay, which is indispensably required for enlarging the TFT-LCD.

Chromium which was mainly used conventionally (Cr, specific resistance: 12.7 × 10 -8 Ωm), molybdenum (Mo, specific resistance: 5 × 10 -8 Ωm), aluminum (Al, specific resistance: 2.65 × 10 -8 Ωm), and alloys thereof Is difficult to be used for gate and data wiring used in a large-sized TFT LCD. Therefore, a copper-based metal film such as a copper film and a copper molybdenum film and an etchant composition therefor are attracting attention as a low resistance metal film.

By the way, the development of the copper-based metal film is separate, and the etching liquid compositions for the copper-based metal film known to date do not sufficiently satisfy the needs of the user.

 For example, Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2003-0082375 discloses an etching solution of a copper monolayer or a copper molybdenum film containing hydrogen peroxide water, an organic acid, a phosphate, a nitrogen, a fluorine compound and deionized water. Although the etching composition of the hydrogen peroxide etching composition is excellent in the etching property against the copper-based metal film, there is a danger in the process due to the overheating due to the chain decomposition reaction of hydrogen peroxide as the concentration of copper ions eluted into the etching solution increases. There is a problem that etching does not proceed.

Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2009-0042173 discloses an etchant composition comprising ammonium perphosphate ((NH4) 2S2O8, ammonium persulfate), inorganic acid, acetate salt, fluorine-containing compound, sulfonic acid compound, azole- . Although the etchant composition solves the overheat stability, there is a problem that addition of a chelating agent is required for etching.

FIG. 2 is a SEM photograph (Cu 300 ppm) of the surface of a copper / titanium double layer etched with the etchant composition of Example 1 of the present invention.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail.

The present invention is based on the total weight of the composition, A) 1 to 10% by weight peracetic acid, B) 0.01 to 2% by weight fluorine-containing compound, C) 0.01 to 5% by weight water-soluble cyclic amine compound, D) organic acid And at least one selected from the group consisting of inorganic acids 0.1 to 5% by weight, and F) a residual amount of the etching liquid composition comprising a metal film.

In the present invention, the copper-based metal film includes copper as a constituent of the film, and includes a single film of copper or a copper alloy (including a copper nitride film, a copper oxide film, etc.); And a multilayer film including at least one film selected from a copper film and a copper alloy film, and at least one film selected from the group consisting of molybdenum film, molybdenum alloy film, titanium film, and titanium alloy film.

Examples of the multilayer film include a double film such as a copper / molybdenum film, a copper / molybdenum alloy film, a copper alloy / molybdenum alloy film, a copper / titanium film, or a triple film. The copper / molybdenum film is meant to include a molybdenum layer and a copper layer formed on the molybdenum layer, and the copper / molybdenum alloy film means a copper layer formed on the molybdenum alloy layer and the molybdenum alloy layer, copper The alloy / molybdenum alloy film is meant to include a molybdenum alloy layer and a copper alloy layer formed on the molybdenum alloy layer, and the copper / titanium film means a titanium layer and a copper layer formed on the titanium layer.

In addition, the molybdenum alloy layer is, for example, at least one selected from the group consisting of titanium (Ti), tantalum (Ta), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), neodymium (Nd), indium (In) and the like. A layer made of an alloy of metal and molybdenum.

In particular, the etchant composition of the present invention can be preferably applied to a copper alloy film or a copper / titanium film.

Acetate ions separated from A) and acetic acid (per acetic acid) included in the etchant composition of the present invention serves to control the etching rate of Cu through the interlocking with the copper surface.

The peracetic acid is preferably included in 1 to 10% by weight, more preferably 2 to 5% by weight based on the total weight of the composition. When the peracetic acid is contained in less than 1% by weight, the Cu etching power is significantly lowered, so it is difficult to maintain proper etching time, and the etching uniformity is lowered. When it exceeds 10% by weight, the Cu etching rate is significantly increased to control the Cu etching amount. Difficult and process control is also difficult.

B) fluorine compound included in the etchant composition of the present invention is a main component for etching the titanium metal film and at the same time remove the lower film residue.

The B) fluorine-containing compound is not particularly limited as long as it can be dissociated into fluorine ions or polyatomic fluoride ions in solution as a material commonly used in the art. For example, ammonium fluoride (NH 4 F), sodium fluoride (NaF), potassium fluoride (KF), ammonium bifluoride (NH 4 FHF), sodium bifluoride (sodium bifluoride: NaFHF), potassium bifluoride (KFHF), and the like, and these may be used alone or in combination of two or more thereof.

The fluorine-containing compound is preferably included in an amount of 0.01 to 2% by weight, more preferably 0.1 to 1% by weight based on the total weight of the composition. If the fluorine-containing compound is contained in less than 0.01% by weight may cause metal etching residue, when contained in more than 2% by weight may cause a problem that the glass damage of the glass substrate increases.

C) water-soluble cyclic amine compound included in the etchant composition of the present invention controls the etching rate of the copper-based metal and serves to increase the process margin by reducing the CD loss of the pattern. The C) water-soluble cyclic amine compound is preferably included in 0.01 to 5% by weight, more preferably in 0.01 to 3% by weight based on the total weight of the composition. When the content of the C) water-soluble cyclic amine compound is less than 0.01% by weight, cisidose may be generated too large, and when it exceeds 5% by weight, the etching speed of copper is increased and the etching rate of molybdenum or molybdenum alloy is slow. The loss of CDiros increases and the possibility of molybdenum or molybdenum alloy residues increases.

The C) water-soluble cyclic amine compound is aminotetrazole, imidazole, indole, purine, pyrazole, pyridine, pyrimidine, Pyrrole (pyrrole), pyrrolidine (pyrrolidine), pyrroline (pyrroline) and the like, these may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

At least one selected from the group consisting of D) organic acid and inorganic acid included in the etchant composition of the present invention serves to adjust the pH to create an environment in which the copper-based metal film can be etched, and to lower the pH to inhibit peracetic acid decomposition do.

The at least one content selected from the group consisting of organic acids and inorganic acids is preferably 0.1 to 5% by weight, and less than 0.1% by weight based on the total weight of the composition, and at least one selected from the group consisting of organic and inorganic acids. In this case, there is a problem of accelerating peracetic acid decomposition due to lack of influence of pH adjustment, and at the same time, the rate of deterioration of copper's etching performance may increase rapidly. If the content exceeds 5% by weight, the copper's etching rate is increased and barrier ( Barrie) Because the etching speed of titanium, which is a film quality, is slowed down, CD Loss is increased compared to titanium film and residue of titanium film may be caused.

Examples of the organic acid include compounds having an amino group and a carboxyl group, such as acetic acid, glycolic acid, citric acid, oxalic acid, and iminodiacetic acid. Examples of the inorganic acid include nitric acid compounds such as nitric acid and nitrous acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, and perchloric acid. have. In particular, at least one selected from the group consisting of organic and inorganic acids may be preferably used with acetic acid, nitric acid-based compounds and compounds having amino and carboxyl groups.

The etchant composition of the present invention may further comprise E) a water-soluble compound having a nitrogen atom and a sulfonic acid.

E) The water-soluble compound having the nitrogen atom and sulfonic acid included in the etchant composition of the present invention has the effect of increasing the shelf life of the product by inhibiting the decomposition rate of peracetic acid, which has a relatively high self-decomposition rate, than the permeable system. .

E) The water-soluble compound having a nitrogen atom and sulfonic acid is preferably included in 0.1 to 5% by weight based on the total weight of the composition. When the water-soluble compound having a nitrogen atom and a sulfonic acid is contained in an amount of less than 0.1% by weight, the decomposition ability of peracetic acid is remarkably decreased and it is difficult to secure the stability of the peracetic acid etchant over time. When the amount exceeds 5% by weight, It is difficult to control the etching amount and also it is difficult to control the process.

E) The water-soluble compound having a nitrogen atom and a sulfonic acid in one molecule is preferably one or two or more selected from the group consisting of sulfamic acid, sulfonamide and derivatives thereof.

F) water contained in the etching liquid composition of this invention is not specifically limited, Deionized water is preferable. More preferably, deionized water having a specific resistance value of the water (that is, the degree to which ions are removed in the water) is 18 kW / cm or more is used.

In addition to the above-mentioned components, conventional additives may be further added to the etchant composition of the present invention. Typical examples of the additive include metal ion sequestrants and corrosion inhibitors.

At least one selected from the group consisting of A) per acetic acid, B) fluorine-containing compound, C) water-soluble cyclic amine compound, D) organic acid and inorganic acid used in the etchant composition of the present invention, and E) The remaining amount of water preferably has a purity for the semiconductor process.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail by way of examples. However, the following examples are intended to further illustrate the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited by the following examples. The following examples can be appropriately modified and changed by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present invention.

Test Example  One: Etchant  Of the composition Evaluation of etching characteristics

The Cu / Ti metal film deposited on the glass substrate by the sputtering method was etched using the etchant compositions of Example 1, Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 prepared above. The etching solution was injected into an experimental apparatus (model name: ETCHER (TFT), SEMES) of a spray-type etching system, the temperature was raised to 28 ° C, and the etching process was performed when the temperature reached 28 ± 0.1 ° C. The total etching time of the Cu / Ti metal film was performed by giving 100% of the over etching based on the endpoint detection (EPD). The substrate was sprayed, and when the etching was completed, the substrate was ejected, removed, washed with deionized water, dried using a hot air dryer, and removed using a photoresist stripper. After washing and drying, the etching characteristics were evaluated using an electron scanning microscope (SEM; model name: S-4700, manufactured by HITACHI Co., Ltd.), and the results are shown in Table 2, FIGS. 1 and 2.

As can be seen in Table 3, Figure 1 (Cu 0 ppm) and Figure 2 (Cu 3000ppm), the etchant composition of Example 1 exhibited good etching characteristics. However, in the etching solution of Comparative Example 2, excessive amount of nitric acid was included so that Pattern Out occurred due to over etching of Cu. In the case of the etching solution of Example 1, when the Cu was 0 ppm and the Cu was eluted at 3000 ppm, the S / E change rate after Cu / Ti etching was less than 10%. However, in the etching liquid composition of Comparative Example 1 containing a very small amount of nitric acid, when the 3000 ppm of Cu eluted, it can be seen that the EPD after the Cu / Ti etching was greatly reduced.

Test Example  2: Etchant  Evaluation of shelf life characteristics of composition

Using the etching solution compositions of Examples 2 to 4, each of which added Sulfamic Acid to each of Example 1 prepared above, the etching solution composition was set to an expiration date immediately before the etching rate of the metal to be etched after storage at room temperature.

Referring to Example 2 in Table 3, when the sulfamic acid 2.0% is added, the change in Etchant's own aging is not significant, and thus the usable shelf life is extended to 200 days compared to Example 1 as the available shelf life is 3 days. In Example 3, the shelf life was extended by 1 day compared with Example 1, and in Example 4, 3% of sulfamic acid was added, but the shelf life was not longer.
