Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to chemical formulations used in semiconductor wafer fabrication and particularly to chemical formulations that are utilized to remove residue from wafers following a resist plasma ashing step.
- the prior art teaches the utilization of various chemical formulations to remove residue and clean wafers following a photoresist ashing step.
- these prior art chemical formulations include strong reagents such as strong acids or strong bases to help remove unwanted inorganic residues.
- strong reagents can cause unwanted further removal of metal or insulator layers remaining on the wafer and are therefore undesirable in many instances.
- chemical formulations which effectively remove residue following a resist ashing step which do not attack and potentially degrade delicate structures which are meant to remain on a wafer.
- the present invention comprises formulations for stripping wafer residues which originate from high density plasma metal etching followed by plasma ashing.
- the formulations contain hydroxylamine, water, catechol, and amines other than alkanolamines.
- the preferred formulations utilize the following components (percentages are by weight):
- Catechol or a 1 ,3-dicarbonyi chelating agent 0-20% (the preferred range is 0.9-9%) Water 8-68% (the preferred range is 8-44%)
- a non-alkanolamine 10-78% (the preferred range is 30-55%)
- the preferred non-alkanolamines are secondary and/or tertiary amines, including: 3,3' -Iminobis (N,N-dimethylpropylamine) Pentamethyldiethylenetriamine Triethylamine
- the preferred 1 ,3-dicarbonyl chelating agents are:
- Typical steps in the fabrication of semiconductor wafers involve the creation of metalized layers or insulating layers having patterned resists layers formed thereon. Such a wafer may then be exposed to plasmas (such as halogen based plasmas) to remove exposed metal or insulator. Thereafter, a plasma ashing step is conducted (typically using an oxygen based plasma) in which the remaining resist is removed from the wafer. The result is a patterned metal layer or a patterned insulator layer.
- plasmas such as halogen based plasmas
- the residue following the plasma ashing step is predominantly composed of inorganic compounds such as metal halides and metal oxides.
- the present invention comprises chemical formulations for the removal of inorganic compound residues, where the formulations do not contain strong acids or strong bases of the prior art formulations.
- the general formulations of the present invention contain hydroxylamine, water, catechol (or a 1 ,3-dicarbonyl chelating agent), and amines other than alkanolamines.
- the preferred formulations utilize the following components (percentages are by weight): Catechol (or a 1 ,3-dicarbonyl chelating agent) 0-20% (the preferred range is 0.9-9%)
- a non-alkanolamine 10-78% (the preferred range is 30-55%)
- the preferred 1 ,3-dicarbonyl chelating agents are:
- the preferred non-alkanolamines are secondary and/or tertiary amines, including:
- the invention further includes other non-alkanolamines, including:
- non-alkanolamines of the following general formula In addition to the preferred secondary and tertiary non-alkanolamines identified above, the inventors expect non-alkanolamines of the following general formula to be suitable:
- R1 R2R3-N in which: a. No more than one of the three R groups may be H. b. At least two of the R groups are directly attached to the Nitrogen atom via a carbon atom. c. None of the R groups contain an alkanol OH moiety.
- catechol-related chelating agents include derivatives of benzene, naphthalene, and aromatic heterocyclic compounds having at least two hydroxyl (OH) groups on adjacent carbon atoms.
- 1 ,3-dicarbonyl chelating agents listed above other 1 ,3-dicarbonyl chelating agents are expected to exhibit comparable functionality. These include, but are not limited to, diketones, diesters, diamides, keto-esters, keto-amides, and ester-amides.
- Other functional groups may replace one or both carbonyl groups and be expected to exhibit similar properties if they are strongly electron withdrawing. These include cyano, nitro, and sulfonyl groups, among others. It is also expected by the inventors that inclusion of optional components such as surfactants, stabilizers, corrosion inhibitors, buffering agents, and organic cosolvents would constitute obvious additions to those practiced in the art.
- the formulations of the present invention are particularly useful on wafers which have been etched with chlorine- or fluorine-containing plasmas followed by oxygen plasma ashing.
- the residues generated by this type of processing typically contain inorganic materials such as, but not limited to, aluminum oxide, aluminum fluoride and titanium oxide. When these residues have high densities it is often difficult to dissolve them completely without causing corrosion of metal and titanium nitride features required for effective device performance.
- Example 1 A first wafer included 0.8 micron diameter, four layer vias comprised of silicon oxide top and second layers, a third layer of titanium nitride, and a bottom layer of aluminum, silicon, copper (AlSiCu) alloy.
- the substrate was silicon oxide.
- Example 2 A second wafer included 1.0 micron diameter, two-layer vias comprised of a top layer of silicon oxide (7000 Angs. thick) and a middle layer of titanium nitride (1200 Angs. thick) on top of a silicon substrate.
- a specific formulation that was evaluated utilizing the second wafer structure is:
- Example 3 A third wafer included 1.6 micron diameter, three-layer vias comprised of a top layer of titanium nitride (40 nanometers thick), a middle layer of silicon oxide (1.3 microns thick), and a bottom layer of aluminum (99%) / copper (1 %) alloy.
- the substrate was silicon oxide.

Les amines préférées, autres que alcanolamines, sont des amines secondaires et/ou tertiaires, et notamment 3,3'-iminobis (N,N-diméthylpropylamine), pentaméthyldiéthylènetriamine et triéthylamine. Les agents chélatants de 1,3-dicarbonyle préférés sont 2,4-pentanedione et acétoacétate de méthyle.
