- film forming conditions and heat treatment conditions are not limited.
- Si, SiO 2 and Si 3 N 4 are mixed with germanium, boron, nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, gallium, antimony, carbon, etc. It may be doped.
- Nickel silicide in a broad sense includes nickel silicide (nickel silicide), nickel platinum silicide (nickel platinum silicide), etc., and these are formed on the surface of the semiconductor device by heat treatment when manufacturing the semiconductor device. Since the composition and distribution of atoms change, they are also included in those treated with the etching solution of the present invention.
- the amount of solution used, the number of treatments, the treatment temperature, etc. may be arbitrarily set in order to optimize selectivity and removability according to the formation conditions, film thickness, etc. of the metal thin film. .

Acetic acid was used for electronic materials manufactured by Showa Denko KK, and 35 mass% hydrochloric acid and 60 mass% nitric acid were used for electronic materials manufactured by Kishida Chemical Co., Ltd.
- the water in the etching solution is composed of secondary distilled water and moisture contained in the reagent. The sample piece was put into the etching solution and allowed to stand, and the etching solution was kept at 50 ° C. using a thermostatic bath.
- the sample piece was treated at 50 ° C. for 3 minutes, and the sheet resistance value (y) on the first thin film side was measured.
- the sample piece was again treated with the same etching solution at 50 ° C. for 3 minutes, and then the sheet resistance value (z) on the second thin film side was measured.
- the sample piece was rinsed with secondary distilled water and air-dried, and then the sheet resistance value was measured. Each sheet resistance value measurement was an average of 6 times.
- the calculation of the specific film thickness and etching rate was performed according to the following formula.
- Tables 1 and 2 collectively show the etching rates when the Al, W, or Ti film-coated substrates are each immersed in an etching solution.
- damage evaluation for TaN and TiN was conducted using a sample piece formed by sputtering TaN and TiN with a thickness of 50 nm on a Si substrate. The same procedure was performed using an etching solution having a composition of 4. In both cases, the etching rate was less than 2 nm / min, and good results were obtained.
- the sheet resistance value was measured after water rinsing and drying. Then, the 2nd etching process was implemented similarly to the 1st etching process, the sheet resistance value was measured after water rinse and drying. The increase rate of the sheet resistance value ⁇ (second sheet resistance value-1st sheet resistance value) / first sheet resistance value ⁇ ⁇ 100 was 1.4%. From this result, it can be seen that the damage of NiPtSi is very small.
