[3] The processes for preparing a semiconductor device or a liquid crystal display device typically are classified into a process for forming a gate, a process for forming a semiconductor layer, a process for forming an S/D, a process for forming a passivation film, a process for forming pixels, and the like, and according to the number of the photoresist masking processes employed in carrying out each of the above processes, the description, "5 mask", "4 mask", or the like is used. The photoresist masking process can be composed of a process for forming a photoresist layer on a metal or oxide film, a process for forming a photoresist pattern by exposure and development through the mask, a process for etching the metal or oxide film using the pattern, and a process for stripping the photoresist pattern.
[4] Examples of a solution for stripping the patterned photoresist layer, that is, a stripper, typically include inorganic acids, inorganic bases, or organic solvents, such as a halogenated organic solvent, an alkyl benzene sulfonic acid, and a mixture of an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent and an alkyl benzene sulfonic acid. Among these, usually an organic solvent is used. Recently, an amine-based stripper comprising a polar solvent and an amine is increasingly used. However, the amine-based photoresist stripper may cause corrosion of the metal film in the washing step after stripping. Moreover, due to the difference in the solubilities of the stripper and the washing water, the substances solubilized by the stripper may be precipitated. In order to solve
the problems, extensive studies have been made to apply an isopropyl alcohol (IPA) washing process after stripping, or to provide a novel stripper composition which can attenuate the corrosion problem caused by the residual components of the stripper in the stripping step.
[5] Further, the conventionally proposed organic solvent strippers are not sufficient in the ability of stripping the photoresist residues. In addition, they do not have sufficient ability of solubilizing the polymeric substances constituting the photoresist, such that the stripped photoresist residues are re-adhered to the semiconductor substrate, the glass substrate, or the like, or additional solvents as by-products are produced. Also, since the process is carried out at high temperature, it is not advantageous from the viewpoint of an environmental aspect and a treatment cost. And the process has a limitation in washing the residues, and is required to use an organic solvent such as isopropyl alcohol, and dimethyl sulfoxide in a subsequent washing step.
[6] On the other hand, since recently, there is a tendency that the semiconductor devices and the liquid crystal display devices become larger and are increasingly produced on large scale, a photoresist stripping process using spray, single wafer system, or air knife, rather than dipping using a conventional stripper becomes universal. As such, there exists a need of development of a photoresist stripping composition suitable for a spray process, a single wafer system process, an air knife process, or the like.
[7] Furthermore, in the case of combining a process for forming a passivation film and a process for forming a pixel into one process as the device process gets simpler (simplification of a masking process), it may be necessary to involve a step for simultaneously removing the remaining metal oxides such as ITO, a- ITO and IZO after forming a pixel unit, as well as in the process for removing the photoresist. In this case, in order to simultaneously remove the photoresist and the unwanted oxides formed thereon, it is necessary to use a novel stripping solution of a new concept different from that of conventional stripping solution, but a stripper composition capable of simultaneously removing the photoresist and the above-described oxides has not been heretofore known. Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem
[8] It is an object of the present invention to provide a photoresist stripping composition, which can easily strip a modified, cured photoresist generated during the wet or dry etching process in a relatively short time by means of a dipping process, a spray process, a single wafer system process, or an air-knife process; does not cause damage on the quality of the metal film and the oxide film in the lower portion of the
photoresist layer exposed to the stripping solution; can be washed with water only without a need of the use of an organic solvent in a subsequent washing process; and can simultaneously remove the photoresist and the above-described oxides such as ITO, a-ITO, and IZO discharged from the substrate upon removing the photoresist due to simplification of the masking process.

Advantageous Effects
[27] The photoresist stripping composition according to the present invention can easily strip a modified, cured photoresist generated during the wet or dry etching process at low temperature in a short time by means of a dipping process, a spray process, a single wafer system process, or an air-knife process, and does not cause damage on the quality of the metal film and the oxide film in the lower portion of the photoresist exposed to the stripper composition. The composition can prevent for the oxides discharged from the substrate during removal of the photoresist to be re-adhered onto the substrate in the case of simultaneously carrying out a step of forming a passivation layer and a step of forming a pixel for simplification of the masking process. Further, when using the photoresist stripping composition according to the present invention, water can be used alone in the washing step without a need of the use of an organic solvent in a subsequent washing process. Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[28] Hereinbelow, the present invention will be explained in detail.
[29] The photoresist stripping composition according to the present invention is charact erized in that it comprises 5 to 30% by weight of an organic amine compound of the formula 1, 10 to 30% by weight of a glycol ether compound of the formula 2, 10 to 50% by weight of a water-soluble organic solvent, 0.1 to 10% by weight of a corrosion inhibitor, 0.1 to 5% by weight of an oxide solubilizing agent, and a residual amount of deionized water, based on the total weight of the composition. Herein, if the organic amine compound of the formula 1 is contained in an amount of less than 5% by weight, the stripping of the photoresist is lowered, whereas if the organic amine compound of the formula 1 is contained in an amount of more than 30% by weight, the
corrosion of the lower membrane occurs. If the glycol ether compound of the formula 2 is contained in an amount of less than 10% by weight, the penetration of the stripping solution for stripping the photoresist is lowered, whereas if the glycol ether compound of the formula 2 is contained in an amount of more than 30% by weight, the solubility of the photoresist is lowered. If the water-soluble organic solvent is contained in an amount of less than 10% by weight, the solubility of the photoresist is lowered. If the corrosion inhibitor is contained in an amount of less than 0.1% by weight, the corrosion of the lower membrane occurs, whereas if the corrosion inhibitor is contained in an amount of more than 10% by weight, a precipitation problem occurs. If the oxide solubilizing agent is contained in an amount of less than 0.1% by weight, the solubility of the oxide is lowered, whereas if the oxide solubilizing agent is contained in an amount of more than 5% by weight, a precipitation problem occurs.
[30] In the present invention, specific examples of the amine compound of the formula 1 include mono-, di- or tri-ethanolamine, mono-, di- or tri-propanolamine, mono-, di- or tri-isopropanolamine, butanolamine, butylmonoethanolamine, ethyldiethanolamine, and JV-methylaminoethanol. As the amine compound of the formula 1, mo- noethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, JV-methylaminoethanol, ethyldiethanolamine, or a mixture thereof is preferably used, and monoethanolamine, JV-methylaminoethanol, isopropanolamine, or a mixture thereof is more preferably used.
[31] On the other hand, the glycol ether derivative has both of an ether group and a hydroxyl group in the molecule, and thus is an excellent solvent which is easily mixed with water, thereby finding a wide variety of applications. Addition of such the glycol ethers functions as a kind of a surfactant, to provide reduction of the surface tension of the solution, to enhance the penetration force and thus to reinforce the stripping ability at a relatively low temperature.
[32] As the glycol ether compound of the formula 2 used in the present invention, alkyleneglycol monoethers are preferably used. Preferable specific examples of the glycol ether compound of the formula 2 include the compounds having the formula in which R is methyl or butyl, R is hydrogen, m+n is 2 or 3, and t is 1, 2 or 3. Specific examples of the compound include the following compounds:

[45] Examples of more preferable compound of the formula 2 include ethyleneglycol monobutylether, diethyleneglycol monobutylether, triethyleneglycol monobutylether, or a mixture thereof.
[46] In the composition of the present invention, examples of the water-soluble organic solvent include alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol, n-propylalcohol, isopropylalcohol, n-butanol, pentanol, ethyleneglycol, propyleneglycol, triethyleneglycol, 2-methyl-l,3-propanediol, 3-methyl-l,3-butanediol, furfurylalcohol, and tetrahydrofur- furylalcohol; amides, such as N-methylformamide, JV,./V-dimethylformamide, N,N - dimethylacetamide, and JV-methyl-2-pyrrolidone; lactones, such as γ-butyrolactone; esters, such as methyllactate, and ethyllactate; ketones, such as acetone, methylethylketone, and acetylacetone; sulfolanes, such as sulfolane; sulfoxides, such as dimethyl sulfoxide; and other organic solvents. Examples of the particularly preferable water-soluble organic solvent include propyleneglycol, triethyleneglycol, 2-methyl-l,3-propanediol, 3-methyl-l,3-butanediol, tetrahydrofurfurylalcohol, triethyleneglycol, JV-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide, or a mixture thereof.
[47] In the composition of the present invention, examples of the corrosion inhibitor include a compound capable of neutralizing a hydroxyl group generated by amine, such as sugar alcohols, and aromatic hydroxy compounds.
[48] Examples of the sugar alcohols include linear chained polyhydric alcohols such as sorbitol, mannitol, threosol, and xylitol, among which sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol or a mixture thereof is particularly preferable. The sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, or a mixture thereof functions to effectively penetrate the hydroxyl ions generated from the reaction between the organic amine and water through the contact surface between the photoresist layer and the substrate, to enhance the stripping ability by generating a chelating reaction with a metal substance contained in the etching residues, and further to inhibit the corrosion of the lower metal layer caused by the hydroxyl group generated from the stripper composition by forming a corrosion inhibiting film using a chelating reaction with the surface of the lower metal layer.
[49] Further, examples of the aromatic hydroxy compound used as the corrosion inhibitor include hydroquinone, catechol, resorcinol, and pyrogallol, among which catechol, pyrogallol or a mixture thereof is preferable.
[50] In the composition of the present invention, examples of the oxide solubilizing agent include an organic acid and an organic acid compound.
[51] As the organic acid, the organic acid of formula 3 can be used.
[52] [Formula 3]

R6CO2H
[54] wherein
[55] R ^ 6 represents hydrogen, a carboxyl group, a linear chained or branch chained C
1-10 alkyl group, a linear chained or branch chained C alkenyl group, a C cycloalkyl group or a C allyl group, each of which may be substituted with a substituent selected from the group consisting of halogen, a hydroxyl group, a carboxyl group, and a sulfone group.
[56] Generally, since oxides do not react with an organic solvent, if the masking process is simplified only by way of the use of the property of the organic stripper comprising the organic solvent, it is impossible to solubilize the oxide discharged from the substrate, together with the photoresist. However, in the present invention, by using an organic acid or an organic acid compound as an oxide solubilizing agent, the above- described problems can be solved.
[57] In the present invention, the organic acid of the formula 3 used as an oxide solubilizing agent generates a chelating and/or coordinating reaction with the metal substances in the etching residues to remove the metal substances, thereby preventing their re-adherence. Further, the carboxylic acid group in the organic acid compound functions to solubilize oxides. Accordingly, addition of an appropriate amount of the compound of the formula 3 provides effective removal of the metal ion contaminants in the photoresist residues, and in the case of simplification of the masking process, provides concomitant solubilization of the oxide discharged from the substrate upon removing the photoresist.

In the present invention, examples of the particularly preferable organic acid include phthalic acid, oxalic acid, succinic acid, citric acid, salicylic acid, or a mixture thereof.
[59] In the present invention, as the organic acid compound, a compound in a salt form of the above-described organic acids, or a mixture thereof can be used. In the present invention, examples of the particularly preferable organic acid compound include phthalate, oxalate, succinate, citrate, salicylate, or a mixture thereof.
[60] In the composition of the present invention, deionized water activates the organic amine compound as described for the photoresist stripping composition to enhance the ability of stripping the photoresist, as well as to reduce the corrosion of the lower metal layer caused by the hydroxyl group generated from the washing step directly using water.
[61] The photoresist stripping composition according to the present invention can further comprise an additive which is usullay added in a stripping solution, such as a surfactant, an antifoaming agent, or a mixture thereof. For example, by using the surfactant as an additive, the uniformity of the stripping can be improved. The amount of the additive is not limited, but it is 0.001 to 1% by weight, and preferably 0.001 to 0.5% by weight based on the total amount of the composition.
[62] The stripper composition of the present invention has very low corrosiveness to a silicon oxide film, or an aluminum, copper, molybdenum, or chrome metal film, and an alloy thereof, which constitutes a semiconductor in the process for preparing a semiconductor such as an LSI device, and a liquid crystal, and in particularly is suitable for aluminum, copper or molybdenum films, and an alloy thereof.
[63] In order to obtain the stripper composition of the present invention, the above- described components can be advantageously mixed in predetermined amounts within the above-described ranges. The mixing method is not particularly limited, but any of various known mixing methods can be employed.
[64] For another problem to be solved by the present invention, the stripping process of the present invention can be used to remove the modified, cured photoresist generated during the wet or dry etching process, as well as oxides such as ITO, a-ITO and IZO discharged from the substrate during removal of the photoresist by simplification of the process.
[65] The process for stripping the photoresist can be carried out in the same manner as a commonly known stripping process, except for using the stripper composition according to the present invention. For example, by using a process which the stripping solution and the substrate contact on which the photoresist film and the etching residues are formed, good results can be obtained. Examples of the process for stripping the photoresist of the present invention include methods using a dipping process, a spray process, a single wafer system process, or an air-knife process. In the case of carrying out the stripping using a dipping process, a spray process, a single wafer system process, or an air-knife process, the stripping conditions are such that the
temperature is usually from 10 to 1000C, and preferably 20 to 8O0C, and the dipping and spraying time is usually 5 sec. to 30 min., and preferably 10 sec. to 10 min., but the present invention is not limited thereto. The stripping conditions can be readily adapted by an ordinary skilled person in the art.
[66] The stripper composition of the present invention is excellent in the ability of stripping the modified, cured photoresist generated during the wet or dry etching process, and has very low corrosiveness to the substances such as the metal film and the oxide film, which constitute a semiconductor device and a liquid crystal display device. Consequently, it can be used in the step of washing the semiconductor device such as an LSI device, and a liquid crystal panel. Mode for the Invention
