Description of the invention (1) Field of the invention: Especially about-species i:: ί ': "Edition of" Xi film stripping method "and method for rapid stripping of silicon nitride film. Background of the invention: Dielectric materials commonly used in the process are not easy to be permeated by oxygen, and the field oxide layer is protected by gasification sand as a second defense, and it is not easy to detect c-body elements of metal ions on the fossils. The protective layer (psslvation layer factory) is used as a semiconductor when the silicon nitride thin film is on the semiconductor process. The conventional nitrided system can use -Γΐ. However, this kind of acidification is unstable. As a result, it is not easy to control. The chemical properties of the chemical compounds are higher than those of the silicon nitride film after peeling off: the risk is high; and after the substrate is destroyed, the scale acid will continue to peak. Yes, however. However, the time required for the hydrofluoride pair to enter the shoe engraving to achieve the removal of nitrided stone is also relatively long: Guide :: =, it is quite slow, and it takes time to the surface of the stone Xi substrate Damage; and; based on f chemicals into _ emulsified stone evening film deposition page 5384 75. Description of the invention (2) The thickness is different, and the nitrogen peripheral equipment and the fossil evening film are completely removed. Therefore, the method of damaging the thin film formed by k is the purpose of the invention and the method of the present invention, which is to remove the nitrite> The method of the present invention is to destroy the nitridation safety of the present invention. In order to achieve the completion of the semi-potassium aqueous solution of the Shixi film, the semiconductor substrate is cleaned and the semiconductor is cleaned. If the same reaction date is set in the process, Silicon; coupled with the use of hydrofluoric acid as a consumable to dry up, these problems all make the method unfavorable to the semiconductor manufacturing process. The present invention proposes a method which can effectively and effectively overcome the above-mentioned problems on the premise of reducing conventional chemical stripping Summary: The main purpose is to propose a solution of potassium nitroxide solution combined with hydrofluoric acid to reduce the conventional chemical stripping. • Another purpose is to propose a nitrogen reduction and stripping silicon nitride. When the film is needed! The purpose 'is to propose a Ke Shixi film peeling method, the soil, and the method to increase the operation of the above purpose, Shiba n ^ Province ", the present invention The first is to provide a conductive substrate, and then face # Ran the semiconductor substrate to react, change the silicon nitride thin with w ^, and then wash the semiconductor substrate thinly, and then dry the wood material;丄 μ etch to remove the silicon nitride substrate and dry it. However, it is not easy to complete the method of removing acid and nitrogen from lice and mice. The oblique silicon beauty is used to peel off the vaporized siliconized silicon film. Removal to the effective and fast removal method for silicon-based silicon thin film stripping. Reduction of chemicals eliminates the formation of nitrogen at the time of operation, completely with the properties of a hydrogen >Acid; thin film, when finished

Description of the invention (3) At the bottom, detailed descriptions are provided by specific embodiments in conjunction with the attached drawings, so that it is easy to understand the purpose, technical content, characteristics and effects of the present invention. Detailed description: ^ The present invention uses a potassium hydroxide aqueous solution to change the silicon nitride film and cooperate with hydrofluoric acid to achieve the purpose of effective and rapid stripping of the gas > special film 'and can reduce the conventional chemical stripping method. Damage to the silicon substrate. The first diagram is a schematic diagram of the process of the present invention. As shown in the figure, a method for peeling off three kinds of films includes the following steps: First, configure a weight percent: a hydroxide aqueous solution between 10% and 30% And provide an integrated substrate, usually a silicon substrate, a silicon nitride thin film has been formed on the surface, as shown in step S 10, and the f-conductor substrate is completely in an environment between room temperature and 100 ° C. Contact with the potassium hydroxide aqueous solution to react the potassium dioxide with the fossils on the surface of the semiconductor substrate, thereby changing the properties of the wife film. After the reaction between the silicon oxide film and the potassium hydroxide aqueous solution is complete, β shown in G < G > washes the semiconductor substrate after the reaction is completed, and the dried potassium oxide aqueous solution remains difficult to clean, so the semiconductor substrate is not cleaned. Wash your tongue with water for at least 5 minutes and dry it after washing. Next, referring to step S30, the dried hydrofluoric acid (HF) having a concentration of 20% to 49% of the semiconductor group 4 is reacted at a room temperature: R π ~ ~ to quickly react. The nitrogen is removed by etching. When the silicon is more effective, it will cause a semi-conductive film with a nitride ratio. The hydrogen will be as small as the fossil, and the silicon will be thin by L Celsius and L.

Description of the invention (4) Membrane. Finally, the body substrate is dried and the fossil film is peeled off. The reaction time of the liquid contact reaction silicon film is shortened. Due to the nature of the "hydrofluoride film" and the fast denitrification of the conductor-consumptive substrate required; the thickness of the film is increased and the above points are added. The purpose of this is to cover the lice in accordance with the present invention. The silicon film is completely stripped and dried. 炱 _ 03 Λ Jun 'requires the technology of water removal, Φ Υ Υ U 40, and Shi Yue 冼 4 semi-conductive removal. In this way, the entire nitrogen can be completed. In step S10, the time range of the semiconducting fire is controlled by the thickness of the semi-conductive soybean soil and potassium hydroxide in water to control its reaction time. Table shows that the deposited nitrogen is longer; the thinner the silicon nitride film is, the thicker the silicon film is, and the reaction time is relatively changed. First, use potassium hydroxide to dissolve the acid to quickly etch to remove the silicon oxide film. The time required for the reaction of the hydrofluoric acid to the ^ = surface of the emulsified stone is also relatively short, and the palm phase field is only ^, so it is too π, so it can reduce the chemical removal method for the half-break I. Not only can reduce the cost of peeling film and reduce the cost of chemical consumption, but also the safety of personnel to insert ¥.
