Definitions
- the present invention relates to an etching composition, an etching method using the same, and a method for manufacturing a semiconductor substrate product.
- the manufacture of an integrated circuit is composed of various processing steps in multiple stages. In the manufacturing process, deposition of various materials, lithography, etching, and the like are repeated many times. Among them, etching of a metal or metal compound layer is an important process. Certain metals must be selectively etched and other materials must remain without being corroded. It is required to remove only a specific material layer in a form that leaves a specific layer among a plurality of layers made of similar metal species or a more corrosive layer. The size of wirings and integrated circuits in a semiconductor substrate is becoming increasingly smaller, and the importance of accurately etching a layer (material) to be left without corrosion is increasing.
- a field effect transistor As an example, with the rapid miniaturization, there is a strong demand for thinning a silicide layer formed on the upper surface of a source / drain region and for developing a new material.
- a salicide Silicon: Self-Aligned Silicide
- a part of a source region and a drain region made of silicon or the like formed on a semiconductor substrate and a metal layer attached to the upper surface thereof are annealed.
- the metal layer tungsten (W), titanium (Ti), cobalt (Co), or the like is applied, and recently nickel (Ni) is adopted.

- the upper limit is practically 1000 nm or less, preferably 100 nm or less, and more preferably 20 nm or less.
- the etching rate [R1] of the first layer or its silicide layer (third layer) is not particularly limited, but is preferably not excessively removed, preferably 200 ⁇ / min or less, and 100 ⁇ / min or less. Is more preferably 50 ⁇ / min or less, further preferably 20 ⁇ / min or less, and particularly preferably 10 ⁇ / min or less. There is no particular lower limit, but considering the measurement limit, it is practical that it is 0.1 ⁇ / min or more.
- the etching rate ratio ([R2] / [R1]) is not particularly limited, but it is preferably 2 or more on the premise of an element that requires high selectivity.
- the etching condition of the silicide layer (third layer) is broadly synonymous with the III-V group material-containing layer (first layer), and the layer before the annealing (for example, the III-V group material-containing layer) It can be substituted depending on the etching rate.
- a metal electrode layer such as Al, Cu, Ti, or W, an insulating film such as HfO, HfSiO, AlO x , SiO, SiOC, SiON, TiN, SiN, or TiAlC Since damage to the layers (which may be collectively referred to as the fourth layer) can be suitably suppressed, it is also preferable to be applied to a semiconductor substrate including these layers.
- the composition of a metal compound when expressed by a combination of elements, it means that a composition having an arbitrary composition is widely included.
- SiOC (SiON) means that Si, O, and C (N) coexist, and does not mean that the ratio of the amounts is 1: 1: 1. This is common in this specification, and the same applies to other metal compounds.
- the time required for etching one substrate is preferably 10 seconds or more, and more preferably 50 seconds or more. As an upper limit, it is preferable that it is 300 seconds or less, and it is more preferable that it is 200 seconds or less.
- the order of the above steps is not construed as being limited, and further steps may be included between the steps.
- preparation means that a specific material is synthesized or blended, and a predetermined item is procured by purchase or the like.
- using an etching composition so as to etch each material of a semiconductor substrate is referred to as “application”, but the embodiment is not particularly limited.
- the method widely includes contacting the etching composition with the substrate.
- the etching composition may be etched by being immersed in a batch type, or may be etched by discharging a single wafer type.
- semiconductor substrate is used to mean not only a wafer but also the entire substrate structure having a circuit structure formed thereon.
- a semiconductor substrate member refers to the member which comprises the semiconductor substrate defined above, and may consist of one material or may consist of several materials.
- a processed semiconductor substrate is sometimes referred to as a semiconductor substrate product, and is further distinguished as necessary, and a chip that has been processed and diced out and processed product thereof is referred to as a semiconductor element. That is, in a broad sense, a semiconductor element or a semiconductor product incorporating the semiconductor element belongs to a semiconductor substrate product.
- Example 1 (Production of test substrate) On a commercially available silicon substrate (diameter: 12 inches), a NiPt layer, an InGaAs layer, an InAlAs layer, and a Ge layer were formed to a thickness of 500 mm, and four types of blank wafers were prepared. (Etching test) The blank wafer was etched using a single wafer type apparatus (SPOS-Europe BV, POLOS (trade name)) under the following conditions, and an evaluation test was performed. -Processing temperature: described in the table-Discharge rate: 1 L / min.
- etching rate About the etching rate (ER), it computed by measuring the film thickness before and behind an etching process using ellipsometry (a spectroscopic ellipsometer, JA Woolum Japan Co., Ltd. Vase was used). An average value of 5 points was adopted (measurement condition measurement range: 1.2-2.5 eV, measurement angle: 70, 75 degrees).
