Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a substrate detergent composition.
  • a 3-dimensional semiconductor-mounting technology is capable of producing a semiconductor obtained by laminating thinned semiconductor chips in a multilayered structure by wire-connecting the same using through silicon vias (TSV).
  • TSV through silicon vias
  • a system proposed in a substrate-thinning process can be subjected to processes such as a backgrinding process and back side electrodes forming process by bonding a substrate in which a semiconductor circuit is formed on a support substrate such as silicon and glass using an adhesive.
  • a support substrate such as silicon and glass
  • an adhesive is necessary to readily exfoliate the support substrate after completion of the processes, and thereafter it is necessary to remove an adhesive remaining on a substrate surface in which a semiconductor circuit is formed and to complete cleaning of a thin-film semiconductor substrate surface.
  • Patent Document 1 introduction of a detergent composition capable of sufficiently removing a remaining adhesive with a short period of time without corrosion of a substrate surface is strongly desired. Unfortunately, however, it did not lead to development of a detergent composition capable of sufficiently cleaning a surface of a substrate contaminated with a silicone component with a short period of time (Patent Document 1).
  • Patent Document 1 Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2013-010888
  • the present invention was made in view of the above situation, and has an object to provide a substrate detergent composition used for cleaning a surface of a substrate such as a silicon semiconductor substrate, a surface of which is contaminated with e.g. a silicone component whose water contact angle is 100° or more.
  • the present invention provides a substrate detergent composition used for cleaning a surface of a substrate, comprising:
  • a quaternary ammonium salt 0.1 to 2.0% by mass
  • B Water: 0.1 to 0.4% by mass
  • C An organic solvent: 94.0 to 99.8% by mass.
  • the substrate to be cleaned can be a silicon semiconductor substrate whose water contact angle is 100° or more, generally 100 to 120°.
  • a content of silicon atom derived from silicone-based adhesive is generally 10% by mass or more, particularly 20% by mass or more related to the entire elements detected before cleaning taken as 100% by mass.
  • a silicon substrate used in the present application can be used for a thin substrate processing step which is used for a package of compact semiconductor used to wire a silicon substrate in which a circuit is formed with e.g. a metal wiring.
  • a thinning process can be achieved by attaching a laminated body which forms a polymer adhesive on a support body to a silicon substrate which has normal thickness, and by cutting and polishing a back side of the silicon substrate.
  • the support body includes a glass substrate and a silicon substrate.
  • an adhesive used for thinning process is not necessary after the process. Therefore, the adhesive is removed by organic solvent, however, particularly a silicone-based adhesive is hard to remove, and the adhesive remains 10% by mass or more on the substrate.
  • a detergent composition of the present invention can sufficiently clean a silicon semiconductor substrate surface contaminated with a silicone component whose water contact angle is 100° or more with a short period of time.
  • the water contact angle can be determined at less than 100°. Specifically, it is preferable to obtain a substrate whose water contact angle is reduced to 10 to 30°, preferably 10 to 20°. By determining a water contact angle at less than 100°, an effect such as adhesive strength to an encapsulant can be remarkably improved in cases of use for a laminated body of e.g. semiconductor package.
  • the quaternary ammonium salt is preferably tetraalkylammonium hydroxide, particularly tetraethylammonium hydroxide.
  • the quaternary ammonium salt is preferably a quaternary ammonium hydroxide.
  • the organic solvent is an organic solvent containing at least one hydroxyl group in one molecule and contains at least one kind of a saturated aliphatic alcohol having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, a glycol having 2 to 16 carbon atoms and a glycol ether having 4 to 20 carbon atoms.
  • the substrate detergent composition of the present invention can contain the above-shown organic solvent.
  • a favorable cleaning property can be obtained with a short period of time to achieve efficient cleaning of a silicon semiconductor substrate without corrosion thereof, and a durable substrate used for a semiconductor package without corrosion of a substrate surface can be obtained as a thin silicon semiconductor substrate.
  • Inventors of the present invention carried out an extensive investigation to find that a substrate can efficiently be cleaned without corrosion thereof using a detergent composition containing a specific mixture ratio of a quaternary ammonium salt, water and an organic solvent, and the present invention was accomplished.
  • the detergent composition of the present invention used for cleaning a surface of a substrate comprises:
  • a quaternary ammonium salt 0.1 to 2.0% by mass
  • B Water: 0.1 to 0.4% by mass
  • C An organic solvent: 94.0 to 99.8% by mass.
  • a quaternary ammonium salt capable of fulfilling the objective of the present invention is e.g. a quaternary ammonium hydroxide and a quaternary ammonium chloride.

  • glycol includes ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butylene glycol, hexylene glycol, diethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, trimethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, tetramethylene glycol, and tetraethylene glycol.

  • the component (A) if a concentration thereof is under 0.1% by mass, might show an insufficient property of cleaning a thin semiconductor substrate surface. In cases where the concentration exceeds 2.0% by mass, the property of cleaning might not be obtained, resulting in corrosion of a silicon semiconductor substrate.
