The present invention relates to a detergent composition for a metal film, and more particularly, to a detergent composition for removing residues, impurities and contaminants remaining on a metal film after various processes in a flat panel display manufacturing process.
A flat panel display device, such as a semiconductor device, is manufactured through processes such as film formation, exposure, and etching. However, in such a manufacturing process, contamination occurs in which very small particles having a size of 1 mu m or less such as various organic substances and inorganic substances adhere to the substrate surface. When these processings are carried out with these particles attached, pinholes, pits, wirings, and bridges of the film are generated, and the yield of the product is lowered.
Therefore, cleaning for removing contaminants is carried out between respective processes, and a lot of cleaning agents have been also studied for the cleaning.

However, the detergent has insufficient ability to remove organic contaminants and particles, and precipitation problems may occur during long-term use due to polyhydroxybenzene chelate compounds such as catechol or gallic acid. Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2006-0127098 discloses a cleaning agent for substrates for semiconductor devices including organic acids, organic alkalis, surfactants and water.

The polar solvent is characterized by being capable of dissolving at least 1 part by weight of the hydroxyl compound per 100 parts by weight of the hydroxyl compound. This is necessary in order to suppress the generation of precipitates of the hydroxide compound by aging during manufacture and storage. Further, when the cleaning is carried out under the heating condition in the cleaning step, it is necessary to suppress the generation of the precipitate due to the increase of the concentration of the hydroxide compound due to the volatilization of the solvent.

As the polar protic solvent, water may be most preferably used as the polar solvent, and DMSO may preferably be used as the aprotic polar solvent.
The polar solvent of the present invention is preferably contained in an amount of 70 wt% or more based on the total weight of the detergent composition. In consideration of the solubility of the hydroxyl compound, the polar solvent is preferably contained in an amount of 50 wt% .

However, when it is intended to remove a polymer such as a photoresist, it is more preferable to use at least 10% by weight of an aprotic polar solvent based on the total weight of the detergent composition to swell the polymer in a crosslinked state and to dissolve the removed polymer have.
However, if the content of the aprotic polar solvent exceeds 45 wt% with respect to the total weight of the detergent composition, the activity of the hydroxide compound is inhibited and the formation of precipitates is liable to occur due to the lowered solubility, .

The corrosion inhibitor is included in the detergent composition to improve the corrosion inhibiting ability of the metal film including aluminum and / or copper.

The detergent composition of the present invention contains a corrosion inhibitor containing an azole-based compound dimer, thereby increasing the chelating effect with the metal surface and increasing the bonding force.
The reason why the azole-based compound dimer of the present invention exhibits excellent corrosion resistance is described in more detail. The nitrogen atom existing in the molecule of the azole-based compound binds to the surface of the metal and defends the metal surface from attacks such as oxidizing agents. The reaction between the azole compound and the metal surface is a reversible reaction, which results in a dynamic equilibrium of binding and separation. In this case, as the time for bonding of the metal surface and the azole compound increases, the corrosion resistance is improved. When two azole compounds are contained in one molecule, even if one azole compound is separated from the metal surface, The azole-based compound may be bonded to the metal surface. As a result, the azole-based compound can not be far away from the metal surface, so that the part of the azole-based compound that has been separated is again bonded to the metal surface. Thus, it can be explained that the azole compound as the corrosion inhibitor is not separated from the metal surface, so that the corrosion resistance is improved.
The azole-based compound dimer is preferably a benzotriazole dimer.
The benzotriazole dimer may more preferably be a compound represented by the following formula (1).
