Description

蝕刻組合物及利用其的蝕刻方法Etching composition and etching method using the same

本發明涉及蝕刻組合物及利用其的蝕刻方法,更詳細而言,涉及一種蝕刻組合物、利用其的金屬膜的蝕刻方法以及包括利用本發明蝕刻組合物而進行的製程的半導體元件製造方法。The present invention relates to an etching composition and an etching method using the same. More specifically, it relates to an etching composition, a metal film etching method using the same, and a semiconductor device manufacturing method including a process performed using the etching composition of the present invention.

半導體裝置及TFT-LCD等微電路是經過如下的一系列光微影製程而完成的。即,將光阻劑均勻塗布於形成在基板上的鋁、鋁合金、銅及銅合金等導電性金屬膜或矽氧化膜、矽氮化膜等絕緣膜,然後藉由刻有圖案的光罩照射光後,藉由顯影而形成所需圖案的光阻,藉由乾式或濕式蝕刻對存在於光阻下部的金屬膜或絕緣膜轉印圖案後,藉由剝離製程,將不需要的光阻去除。Microcircuits such as semiconductor devices and TFT-LCDs are completed through a series of photolithography processes as follows. That is, the photoresist is uniformly coated on conductive metal films such as aluminum, aluminum alloy, copper, and copper alloys or insulating films such as silicon oxide films, silicon nitride films, etc., formed on the substrate, and then the patterned photomask After irradiating light, the photoresist with the desired pattern is formed by developing, and the pattern is transferred to the metal film or insulating film existing under the photoresist by dry or wet etching, and then the unwanted light is removed by the peeling process. Block removal.

為了製造半導體裝置及TFT-LCD的基板,作為TFT的柵極及數據線電極用配線材料,經常使用鋁、鋁合金層及鉻,但為了實現大型顯示器,需要減少電極用配線的電阻,為此正在嘗試將電阻低的金屬銅用於形成配線。In order to manufacture semiconductor devices and TFT-LCD substrates, aluminum, aluminum alloy layers, and chromium are often used as wiring materials for TFT gate and data line electrodes. However, in order to realize large-scale displays, it is necessary to reduce the resistance of electrode wiring. Attempts are being made to use low-resistance metal copper to form wiring.

但是,由於銅存在與玻璃基板及矽絕緣膜的附著力低且會向矽膜擴散的問題,因而將鈦、鉬等用作銅膜的下部阻隔金屬。However, because copper has the problem of low adhesion to the glass substrate and silicon insulating film and diffusion into the silicon film, titanium, molybdenum, etc. are used as the lower barrier metal of the copper film.

由此,正在針對用於下部阻隔金屬膜與銅膜之蝕刻的蝕刻組合物進行積極研究。Therefore, active research is being conducted on etching compositions used for etching of the lower barrier metal film and the copper film.

當阻隔金屬為鈦、鉬合金時,蝕刻製程由於鈦的化學性質而具有只能以特定離子或特定條件進行蝕刻的缺點;當阻隔金屬為鉬時,蝕刻製程具有銅膜與鉬膜的附著力降低的缺點。特別是在銅膜與鉬膜的附著力降低的情況下,蝕刻組合物因滲透而導致的過蝕刻現象很嚴重。When the barrier metal is titanium or molybdenum alloy, the etching process has the disadvantage that it can only be etched with specific ions or specific conditions due to the chemical properties of titanium; when the barrier metal is molybdenum, the etching process has the adhesion of the copper film and the molybdenum film Reduce the disadvantages. Especially when the adhesion between the copper film and the molybdenum film is reduced, the over-etching phenomenon caused by the penetration of the etching composition is very serious.

進而,利用具有強氧化性的蝕刻溶液對銅鉬膜進行蝕刻時,由於蝕刻速度過快而在製程寬容度方面存在問題,錐形輪廓(taper profile)中錐角(taper angle)具有90度或更大的值而使後續製程變得困難,圖案的直線性也不好。Furthermore, when the copper-molybdenum film is etched with a strong oxidizing etching solution, there is a problem in the process latitude due to the excessively fast etching speed. In the tapered profile (taper profile), the taper angle is 90 degrees or A larger value makes the subsequent manufacturing process difficult, and the linearity of the pattern is not good.

作為一個例子,當同時蝕刻銅/鉬合金時,為了提高鉬合金的蝕刻速度並去除鉬合金的殘渣,銅/鉬合金蝕刻液包含氟化合物。這種氟化合物存在如下問題:不僅蝕刻鉬合金,還蝕刻作為銅/鉬合金柵極配線之下部膜的玻璃基板以及作為源極汲極配線之下部膜的SiNx。下部膜的蝕刻增加會使得後續製程及再處理(rework)製程中因蝕刻污漬而導致的不良以及減薄製程中因蝕刻污漬而導致的不良增加。As an example, when etching the copper/molybdenum alloy at the same time, in order to increase the etching speed of the molybdenum alloy and remove the residue of the molybdenum alloy, the copper/molybdenum alloy etching solution contains a fluorine compound. Such fluorine compounds have the following problems: not only etching the molybdenum alloy, but also etching the glass substrate as the lower film of the copper/molybdenum alloy gate wiring and the SiNx as the lower film of the source drain wiring. The increase in the etching of the lower film will increase the defects caused by the etching stains in the subsequent process and the rework process and the defects caused by the etching stains in the thinning process.

各種傳統蝕刻組合物除了上述記載的問題以外,依然具有降低蝕刻特性的問題,因此需要針對能夠顯著改善這種問題的蝕刻組合物進行研究。In addition to the problems described above, various conventional etching compositions still have the problem of reducing the etching characteristics. Therefore, it is necessary to study etching compositions that can significantly improve this problem.

胺化合物的比例低於上述胺化合物與底切抑制劑的重量比時,過氧化氫分解抑制效果減少,處理張數增加時可能發生底切及發熱。此外,胺化合物的比例高於上述胺化合物與底切抑制劑的重量比時,則抑制鉬蝕刻,從而可能導致殘膜發生。When the ratio of the amine compound is lower than the weight ratio of the above-mentioned amine compound to the undercut inhibitor, the hydrogen peroxide decomposition inhibitory effect is reduced, and undercut and heat generation may occur when the number of processed sheets increases. In addition, when the ratio of the amine compound is higher than the weight ratio of the above-mentioned amine compound to the undercut inhibitor, molybdenum etching is suppressed, which may cause film residue.

(g)蝕刻抑制劑(G) Etching inhibitor

根據本發明之一實施態樣的蝕刻組合物還可包含蝕刻抑制劑,蝕刻抑制劑調節過渡金屬的蝕刻速度而減少圖案的CD損失(CD loss),提高製程寬容度,使其成為具有適當的錐角的蝕刻輪廓,蝕刻抑制劑可為分子內包含選自氧、硫、及氮的一種或二種以上的雜原子的雜環化合物,本發明的雜環化合物包含單環式雜環化合物以及具有單環式雜環及苯環之稠合結構的多環式雜環化合物。The etching composition according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include an etching inhibitor.

When it is contained in more than 5% by weight, the etching speed is reduced And there is a problem of low efficiency.

(h)螯合劑(H) Chelating agent

根據本發明之一實施態樣的蝕刻組合物還可包含螯合劑,螯合劑與在蝕刻進行過程中所產生的金屬離子形成螯合物而使其失活,從而防止發生由這些金屬離子導致的副反應,其結果使得在重複的蝕刻製程中也能夠維持蝕刻特性。特別是在銅層的情況下,存在如下問題:蝕刻組合物中大量殘留銅離子形成鈍化膜而被氧化,無法進行蝕刻,但投入螯合劑時,可防止形成銅離子的鈍化膜。此外,螯合劑防止過氧化氫自身的分解反應,從而可增加蝕刻組合物的穩定性。因此,如果在蝕刻組合物中未添加螯合劑時,在進行蝕刻的過程中被氧化的金屬離子被活化,從而使蝕刻組合物的蝕刻特性容易發生變化,還會促進過氧化氫的分解反應而可能發生發熱及爆炸。The etching composition according to one embodiment of the present invention may further include a chelating agent. The chelating agent forms a chelate compound with the metal ions generated during the etching process to deactivate it, thereby preventing the occurrence of these metal ions. As a result of side reactions, the etching characteristics can be maintained even in repeated etching processes. Particularly in the case of the copper layer, there is a problem that a large amount of copper ions remain in the etching composition to form a passivation film and are oxidized and cannot be etched. However, when a chelating agent is added, the formation of a passivation film of copper ions can be prevented. In addition, the chelating agent prevents the decomposition reaction of hydrogen peroxide itself, thereby increasing the stability of the etching composition. Therefore, if a chelating agent is not added to the etching composition, the oxidized metal ions are activated during the etching process, so that the etching characteristics of the etching composition are easily changed, and the decomposition reaction of hydrogen peroxide is also promoted. Heat and explosion may occur.

根據本發明之一實施態樣的螯合劑相對於蝕刻組合物之總重量可包含0.1至5重量%、較佳包含0.1至3重量%。當螯合劑以小於0.1重量%包含時,可使金屬離子失活的量過少而使得抑制過氧化氫分解反應的能力降低,當以超過5重量%包含時,由於進一步形成螯合而無法期待使金屬失活的作用,可能產生低效的問題。The chelating agent according to an embodiment of the present invention may contain 0.1 to 5% by weight, preferably 0.1 to 3% by weight, relative to the total weight of the etching composition. When the chelating agent is contained in less than 0.1% by weight, the amount that can deactivate the metal ions is too small to reduce the ability to inhibit the decomposition reaction of hydrogen peroxide. When it is contained in more than 5% by weight, it cannot be expected to cause further chelation. The effect of metal inactivation may cause inefficiency.

(i)水(I) Water

如表2所示,本發明實施例1至6的蝕刻組合物與比較例1至8的蝕刻組合物相比,蝕刻速度非常優異,蝕刻時不產生熱量。As shown in Table 2, compared with the etching compositions of Comparative Examples 1 to 8, the etching compositions of Examples 1 to 6 of the present invention have a very excellent etching rate, and no heat is generated during etching.

另外,本發明的蝕刻組合物即使處理張數增加也不會發生底切,不會殘留鉬殘渣物而具有優異的蝕刻特性。In addition, the etching composition of the present invention does not cause undercuts even if the number of processed sheets increases, does not leave molybdenum residues, and has excellent etching characteristics.

判斷為這是本發明的蝕刻組合物因如下特定成分的組合而顯示的蝕刻特性:過氧化氫;磷酸系化合物及硫酸系化合物的蝕刻添加劑;pH調節劑;氟化合物;腺嘌呤、鳥嘌呤或其混合物的底切抑制劑;胺化合物;以及餘量的水的。特別是判斷為這是如下組合所帶來的效果:作為特定的蝕刻添加劑的硫酸及磷酸鹽、作為特定之底切抑制劑的腺嘌呤、鳥嘌呤或其混合物、以及胺化合物。It is judged that this is the etching characteristic exhibited by the etching composition of the present invention due to the combination of the following specific components: hydrogen peroxide; etching additives for phosphoric acid compounds and sulfuric acid compounds; pH adjusters; fluorine compounds; adenine, guanine or The undercut inhibitor of its mixture; amine compound; and the balance of water. In particular, it is judged that this is the effect of the combination of sulfuric acid and phosphate as a specific etching additive, adenine, guanine or a mixture thereof as a specific undercut inhibitor, and an amine compound.

進而,在胺化合物與底切抑制劑的重量比在5至10:1範圍之外的比較例1至2的情況下,產生殘渣及發熱,並發生底切的問題,因此,可知胺化合物與底切抑制劑的重量比對蝕刻特性產生重要影響。Furthermore, in the case of Comparative Examples 1 to 2 in which the weight ratio of the amine compound to the undercut inhibitor is outside the range of 5 to 10:1, residues and heat are generated, and the problem of undercut occurs. Therefore, it can be seen that the amine compound and the undercut The weight ratio of the undercut inhibitor has an important influence on the etching characteristics.

另外,可知蝕刻添加劑與pH調節劑的重量比相當於1至4:1的範圍時,在產生殘渣、發熱及發生底切等方面顯示出進一步提高的蝕刻特性。In addition, it can be seen that when the weight ratio of the etching additive to the pH adjuster is in the range of 1 to 4:1, the etching characteristics are further improved in terms of generation of residue, heat generation, and undercut generation.
