含銅及鈦之金屬層用蝕刻液組成物(4)Etching liquid composition for metal layer containing copper and titanium (4) [參考相關申請案][Reference related application]

本案請求韓國專利申請案第10-2010-0039824號申請日4月29日之權益,該案全文係以引用方式併入本案。The case is filed on April 29, the filing date of the Korean Patent Application No. 10-2010-0039824, the entire contents of which is incorporated herein by reference.

本發明係有關一種含銅及鈦之金屬層用蝕刻液組成物,及其係用於半導體裝置及平板顯示器,特別為薄膜電晶體(TFT)之閘極、源極/汲極布線,及電極。The present invention relates to an etchant composition for a metal layer containing copper and titanium, and to a semiconductor device and a flat panel display, particularly a gate, source/drain wiring of a thin film transistor (TFT), and electrode.

於半導體裝置及平板顯示器中,在基板上形成金屬布線之製程典型地包括使用濺鍍而形成金屬層、施加光阻、使用曝光及顯影而在一選定區上形成光阻、及進行蝕刻。此外,在各項個別處理步驟之前或之後進行清潔處理步驟。蝕刻處理運用光阻作為遮罩,使得金屬層留在選定區上,及典型地包括使用電漿之乾蝕刻或使用蝕刻液之濕蝕刻。In semiconductor devices and flat panel displays, the process of forming metal wiring on a substrate typically includes forming a metal layer using sputtering, applying a photoresist, forming a photoresist on a selected region using exposure and development, and etching. In addition, the cleaning process steps are performed before or after each individual processing step. The etching process uses photoresist as a mask such that the metal layer remains on the selected regions, and typically includes dry etching using plasma or wet etching using an etchant.

針對半導體裝置及平板顯示器,特別為TFT,閘極及源極/汲極陣列布線係由包括具有低電阻之鋁製導電層的金屬層組成。但鋁層有問題,原因在於由於在隨後處理步驟中,形成小丘而造成與另一導電層間的短路,及因接觸氧化物層而形成絕緣層。因此,揭示含銅及鈦之雙層作為TFT之閘極、源極/汲極陣列布線、及電極。For semiconductor devices and flat panel displays, particularly TFTs, the gate and source/drain array wiring consists of a metal layer comprising a conductive layer of aluminum having a low electrical resistance. However, the aluminum layer is problematic because a short circuit with another conductive layer is formed due to the formation of hillocks in the subsequent processing step, and an insulating layer is formed by contact with the oxide layer. Therefore, a double layer containing copper and titanium is disclosed as a gate of a TFT, a source/drain array wiring, and an electrode.

但為了蝕刻含銅及鈦之雙層,針對個別層應使用不同蝕刻液組成物。更明確言之,用以蝕刻含銅之金屬層的蝕刻液組成物應主要包括基於過氧化氫之蝕刻液組成物或基於臭氧之蝕刻液組成物。以基於過氧化氫之蝕刻液組成物為例,蝕刻液組成物可能分解且可能隨著時間之經過變不穩定。以基於臭氧之蝕刻液組成物為例,蝕刻速率緩慢且組成物隨著時間之經過變不穩定。However, in order to etch a double layer containing copper and titanium, different etchant compositions should be used for individual layers. More specifically, the etchant composition for etching the copper-containing metal layer should mainly include a hydrogen peroxide-based etchant composition or an ozone-based etchant composition. Taking the hydrogen peroxide-based etchant composition as an example, the etchant composition may decompose and may become unstable over time. Taking the ozone-based etchant composition as an example, the etching rate is slow and the composition becomes unstable over time.

據此,本發明之第一目的係提供一種蝕刻液組成物,其允許進行含銅及鈦之金屬層蝕刻,特別銅/鈦雙層之總濕蝕刻。Accordingly, a first object of the present invention is to provide an etchant composition that permits etching of a metal layer comprising copper and titanium, particularly a total wet etch of a copper/titanium double layer.

本發明之第二目的係提供一種蝕刻液組成物,其甚至不含過氧化氫及/或臭氧而針對銅具有快速蝕刻速率。A second object of the present invention is to provide an etchant composition that does not even contain hydrogen peroxide and/or ozone and has a fast etch rate for copper.

本發明之第三目的係提供一種蝕刻液組成物,其可簡化蝕刻處理步驟且改進生產力。A third object of the present invention is to provide an etching liquid composition which can simplify an etching treatment step and improve productivity.

本發明之第四目的係提供一種蝕刻液組成物,其可達成快速蝕刻速率及一致的蝕刻。A fourth object of the present invention is to provide an etchant composition that achieves a fast etch rate and consistent etching.

本發明之第五目的係提供一種蝕刻液組成物,其不會損壞設備且蝕刻時無需使用昂貴的設備。A fifth object of the present invention is to provide an etching liquid composition which does not damage the apparatus and which does not require the use of expensive equipment when etching.

本發明之第六目的係提供一種蝕刻液組成物,其可有利地施用至大尺寸顯示面板,如此產生經濟效益。A sixth object of the present invention is to provide an etching liquid composition which can be advantageously applied to a large-sized display panel, which is economical.

本發明之第七目的係提供一種蝕刻液組成物,其除了含銅及鈦之金屬層外,可蝕刻用於像素電極之IZO或a-ITO。A seventh object of the present invention is to provide an etching liquid composition which can etch IZO or a-ITO for a pixel electrode in addition to a metal layer containing copper and titanium.

本發明之一態樣係提供一種含銅及鈦之金屬層用蝕刻液組成物,以該組成物總重為基準,包括5至20 wt%過硫酸鹽,0.01至2 wt%氟化合物,1至10 wt%選自於無機酸、無機酸鹽、及其混合物中之一者或多者,0.3至5 wt%環狀胺化合物,1至10 wt%選自於有機酸、有機酸鹽、及其混合物中之一者或多者,及剩餘為水。An aspect of the present invention provides an etchant composition for a metal layer containing copper and titanium, comprising 5 to 20 wt% persulfate, 0.01 to 2 wt% of a fluorine compound, based on the total weight of the composition, 1 Up to 10 wt% is selected from one or more of a mineral acid, a mineral acid salt, and a mixture thereof, 0.3 to 5 wt% of a cyclic amine compound, and 1 to 10 wt% is selected from an organic acid, an organic acid salt, One or more of its mixtures, and the remainder is water.

Add 0.05% to 1 wt% in quantity. When the content of such a component falls within the above range, the titanium-containing layer is etched in an appropriate amount, and the etching profile is excellent.

One or more selected from the group consisting of inorganic acids, inorganic acid salts, and mixtures thereof may be used in an amount of from 1% to 10% by weight and preferably from 2% to 7% by weight based on the total weight of the composition. When the content of such a component falls within the above range, the copper-containing layer and the titanium-containing layer are etched in an appropriate amount, and the etching profile is excellent.

The amount of one or more selected from the group consisting of organic acids, organic acid salts, and mixtures thereof may be from 1 to 10 parts by weight, and preferably from 2% to 7% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition.

The photoresist was applied to the titanium layer in a predetermined pattern, and the formed substrate was cut into 550 mm x 650 mm using a diamond knife, thus making a sample.

<蝕刻性質之評估><Evaluation of etching properties>

實施例1及比較例1各自之蝕刻液組成物導入噴灑型蝕刻裝置內(蝕刻器(ETCHER)(TFT),得自西姆斯公司(SEMES)),然後溫熱至25℃溫度。隨後讓溫度達到30±0.1℃,接著進行蝕刻。總蝕刻時間係基於40% EPD設定。試樣放置於裝置內及噴灑以該組成物。蝕刻完成後,試樣以去離子水清潔及使用熱風乾燥器乾燥,其後光阻(PR)係使用光阻剝離劑去除。清潔與乾燥後,使用掃描電子顯微鏡(SEM)(S-4700,得自日立公司(HITACHI))評估蝕刻性質。結果顯示於下表2。The etching liquid compositions of each of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were introduced into a spray type etching apparatus (ETCHER (TFT), available from Sims (SEMES)), and then warmed to a temperature of 25 °C. The temperature was then brought to 30 ± 0.1 ° C, followed by etching. The total etch time is based on a 40% EPD setting. The sample is placed in the device and sprayed with the composition. After the etching is completed, the sample is cleaned with deionized water and dried using a hot air dryer, and then the photoresist (PR) is removed using a photoresist stripper. After cleaning and drying, the etching properties were evaluated using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) (S-4700, available from Hitachi, Ltd.). The results are shown in Table 2 below.

<處理板片數目之評估><Evaluation of the number of processing plates>

使用實施例1及比較例1各自之蝕刻液組成物施行參考蝕刻,及更添加4000 ppm銅粉且完全溶解。隨後,再度進行蝕刻測試,及比較參考蝕刻,側蝕變化超過0.2微米之情況評估為不佳。Reference etching was performed using the etching liquid compositions of each of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, and 4000 ppm of copper powder was further added and completely dissolved. Subsequently, the etching test was again performed, and the reference etching was compared, and the case where the side etching change exceeded 0.2 μm was evaluated as poor.

<蝕刻性質><etching property>

◎:優異(CD扭斜:1微米,錐角:40度至60度)◎: Excellent (CD skew: 1 micron, cone angle: 40 degrees to 60 degrees)

○:良好(CD扭斜:1.5微米,錐角:30度至60度)○: Good (CD skew: 1.5 microns, cone angle: 30 degrees to 60 degrees)

Δ:普通(CD扭斜:2微米,錐角:30度至60度)Δ: normal (CD skew: 2 microns, cone angle: 30 degrees to 60 degrees)

X:不佳(金屬層受損及殘質形成)X: Poor (damage of metal layer and formation of residue)

<處理板片數目><Number of processed sheets>

◎:優異(隨著時間之經過處理板片數目增加時側蝕變化在0.2微米以內)◎: Excellent (the side etching changes within 0.2 μm when the number of sheets processed increases with time)

X:不佳(隨著時間之經過處理板片數目增加側蝕變化超過0.2微米)X: Poor (the number of sheets processed increases over time, the side erosion changes more than 0.2 microns)

從表2可明顯得知:當使用本發明實施例1之組成物時,蝕刻性質及隨著時間之經過處理板片數目增加時之性質二者皆優異。但既不含銨鹽也不含有機酸之比較例1之組成物結果導致就處理板片數目而言之性質不佳。As is apparent from Table 2, when the composition of Example 1 of the present invention was used, both the etching property and the property when the number of sheets processed over time were increased were excellent. However, the composition of Comparative Example 1 which contained neither ammonium nor organic acid resulted in poor properties in terms of the number of sheets processed.
