Description
ORGANIC PHOTORESIST STRIPPER COMPOSITION
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a photoresist stripper composition, comprising a polar organic solvent, a basic primary or secondary alkanolamine compound or a combination thereof, a tertiary ammonium compound, and an inhibitor for preventing metal etching.
Description of the Prior Art
The etching process is considered one of the most important steps in the lithographic process in semiconductor and thin-film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) industries. Generally, a device pattern on a photo mask is transferred onto a photoresist through a lithographic process, and then the pattern is transferred onto a thin film through an etching process. After the lithographic and etching processes, the thin film will function as a part of the semiconductor device. In the manufacturing process of a metal oxide semiconductor device or a complementary metal oxide semiconductor device, for example, such a film may be Siθ2, SisN4, Poly- Si, Al alloy, copper, phosphosilicate (PSG), and so on. In other words, almost all the main materials of a semiconductor device must undergo a process of thin film deposition, lithography, and etching, so that the device is manufactured layer by layer.
For example, in a common process for forming a conductor pattern, first, a silicon oxide layer and a conductor layer (polycrystalline silicon or other metal materials such as aluminum or copper) are generally formed on a substrate in sequence; next, a patterned photoresist layer is formed on the conductor layer; then, with the photoresist layer as an etching mask, the exposed conductor layer is dry- etched to form a conductor pattern; afterwards, the photoresist layer is removed.
However, during the above process for forming the conductor pattern, as the gas for etching the conductor layer contains carbon, chlorine or oxygen, it may chemically react with the photoresist layer and the conductor layer, thereby forming a high molecular residue on the sidewalls of the photoresist layer and the conductor layer. In addition to affecting the subsequent process, the high molecular residue may also degrade the performance of conductor layers. Accordingly, after removing the patterned photoresist layer, a cleaning process is generally performed to remove the high molecular residue attached to the surface of the conductor pattern after dry etching.
For example, during a manufacturing process of a TFT-LCD array, a substrate
is first provided, said substrate at least having a copper line conductor layer and a dielectric layer located on the copper line conductor layer; then, an etching pattern desired is defined with a photo mask to perform etching, so as to form an opening for exposing a part of the conductive copper lines.
Relevant disclosure of photoresist stripper compositions has been provided in prior art. For example, JP 2005-043874 discloses a liquid photoresist stripper composition, which contains 5 wt% to 50 wt% of an organic amine compound, 10 wt% to 50 wt% of an ethylene glycol ether compound, 0 wt% to 30 wt% of a water soluble organic solvent, 0.1 wt% to 10 wt% of a preserver, and deionized water.
WO 2007/139315 also relates to a photoresist stripper composition, which comprises a corrosion inhibitor, a water soluble organic amine compound with a content that is 2 to 50 times the weight of the corrosion inhibitor, and a polar solvent. This composition can easily strip the hardened photoresist produced in the wet or dry etching procedure without destroying the metal film and oxide film materials exposed under the composition, and the subsequent cleaning step can be carried out with water alone.
WO 2007/037628 provides a photoresist stripper composition, which contains 5 wt% to 30 wt% of an organic amine compound, 10 wt% to 30 wt% of an ethylene glycol ether compound, 10 wt% to 50 wt% of a water soluble organic solvent, 0.1 wt% to 10 wt% of a corrosion inhibitor, 0.1 wt% to 5 wt% of an oxide as co-solvent, and deionized water. Such a composition can remove both the photoresist and the oxides released from the substrate when the photoresist is being removed, such as ITO (indium tin oxide) and IZO (indium zinc oxide).
TW546553 discloses a liquid photoresist stripper composition, which contains alkanolamines, carbohydrates, a water soluble organic vehicle, benzotriazole or a derivative thereof, and water. TW228640 discloses a photoresist stripper composition, which contains a water soluble organic solvent, water, an alkylamine or an alkanolamine, acetic acid, an oxime compound, an organic phenol compound, and a triazole compound.
The inventors of the present invention found that the photoresist stripper composition of the present invention can effectively strip organic photoresist without etching metal substrates, and can also remove the oxides from the metal surfaces.

(a) immersing a metal substrate containing organic photoresist in the respective photoresist stripper compositions of the Comparative Examples and Examples for about 1 to 20 min at a temperature of 30 to 65°C;
(b) washing the immersed metal substrate with deionized water; and
(c) observing the presence of photoresist residue and metal etching on the metal substrate with an optical microscope.

Test of metal etching
The test of metal etching includes the steps of:
(a) immersing the different metal substrates containing organic photoresist in the respective photoresist stripper compositions of the Comparative Examples and Examples for about 1 to 20 min at a temperature of 30 to 65°C;
(b) washing the immersed metal substrate with deionized water; and
(c) detecting the etching rate of various metal conductors on the metal
substrates using a "four-point probe" method, in which a fixed current is applied to two of the four probes and the voltage difference between the other two probes is measured, so as to calculate the resistance of the sheet. Thus, the thickness of the chip is obtained through conventional equations.
The test results are shown in Table 3.

Figs. 1 to 4 are optical microscope photographs. Fig. 1 shows an untreated substrate with organic photoresist thereon. Fig. 2 shows a state after the organic photoresist on the substrate is removed, and the photograph shows that the organic photoresist is not completely removed (Comparative Example 1 ). Fig. 3 shows a state after the organic photoresist on the substrate is removed, and the photograph shows that the organic photoresist is removed at the cost of partial etching of the metal (Comparative Example 2). Fig. 4 shows a state after the organic photoresist on the substrate is removed, and the photograph shows that the organic photoresist is removed while the metal substrate is not etched, and the trace oxides on the metal are also removed (Example 2). Examples 1 and 6 obtained a result similar to that of Example 2. Fig. 5 compares the substrate before and after treatment with the composition comprising an organic acid according to the present invention, and the photograph shows that the composition can further remove the oxides from the metal part (Example 4). Examples 3 and 5 obtained a result similar to that of Example 4.
Compared with Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the compositions of Examples 1 , 2 and 6 of the present invention can not only effectively strip the photoresist, but also effectively reduce the etching of the metal substrate, thereby preventing the surface of the metal substrate from being damaged. Furthermore, the compositions
of Examples 3 to 5 of the present invention can also remove the oxides from the metal.
