Description
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Example 1 and Comparative example 1 to 2: Etchant Preparation of the composition
According to the composition shown in Table 1, each component was mixed to prepare each of the etching solution composition of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2 by 6 kg.
(Unit: wt%)
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.
(Cu 0 ppm)
(Cu 0 ppm)
(Cu 3000ppm)
(Cu 3000ppm)
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.
Amine compound
(Room temperature, day)
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.
