In the scheme, the boiling point of the mononitro compound is more than 160 ℃.
In the scheme, the mononitro compound is one or a mixture of more of 3-nitropyridine, 2-nitroimidazole, 3-nitrobutanol and 3-nitropropanol.
In the above scheme, the nitro stabilizer is one or a mixture of several of N-methylaniline, aniline, N-dimethylaniline and N, N '-dimethyl-N, N' -diphenylurea.
In the above scheme, the surfactant is perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acid selected from at least one of perfluorooctanoic acid, perfluoropentanoic acid, perfluoroheptanoic acid, perfluorobutanoic acid, perfluorononanoic acid, perfluorodecanoic acid, and perfluoroundecanoic acid.
In the scheme, the etching rate ratio of the etching liquid to etch the silicon nitride and the P-type polysilicon is stabilized at 1.0 +/-0.1.
The invention has the advantages of
1. The phosphoric acid in the constant-speed etching solution of the silicon nitride and the P-type polycrystalline silicon is electronic-grade phosphoric acid with nitrate content less than 0.05ppm and metal ion content less than 10ppb, so that the etching rate of the etching solution on the P-type polycrystalline silicon cannot be influenced by the nitrate content and the metal ion content in the phosphoric acid, and the component regulation and control of the etching solution are facilitated.
2. The mononitro compound in the constant-speed etching solution for the silicon nitride and the P-type polycrystalline silicon can improve the etching rate of the etching solution on the P-type polycrystalline silicon without influencing the etching rate of the etching solution on the silicon nitride, so that the etching rate ratio of the etching solution for etching the silicon nitride and the P-type polycrystalline silicon reaches 1:1 or so.
3. The nitro stabilizer in the constant-speed etching solution of the silicon nitride and the P-type polycrystalline silicon can stabilize the oxidation capability of the mononitro compound, so that the mononitro compound can generate long-acting stable controllable oxidation in the etching process, and the etching rate ratio of the etching solution to the silicon nitride to the P-type polycrystalline silicon is stabilized at 1.0 +/-0.1.
4. The constant-speed etching solution for the silicon nitride and the P-type polycrystalline silicon can realize constant-speed etching of the silicon nitride layer and the P-type polycrystalline silicon layer, and the problems that the etching appearance is difficult to control and the etching end point is difficult to judge when two kinds of etching solutions are used for step-by-step etching are solved.
5. The surfactant used in the constant-speed etching solution of the silicon nitride and the P-type polycrystalline silicon ensures that the etching solution has similar wettability (the contact angle difference is less than 2 ℃) to the silicon dioxide hard mask and the silicon substrate, and is favorable for preventing the etching solution from generating difference in etching morphology due to the difference of the upper wettability and the lower wettability when the silicon nitride and the P-type polycrystalline silicon are etched.

Detailed Description
In order to better understand the present invention, the following examples are further provided to illustrate the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples.
Examples 1 to 11:
the contents of the components of examples and comparative examples according to the inventive concept are shown in table 1, and the balance is water.
TABLE 1
Figure BDA0003402493080000021
Figure BDA0003402493080000031
The constant-speed etching solution for the silicon nitride and the P-type polycrystalline silicon is prepared by the following steps:
1. taking the raw materials according to the types and the quantities of the raw materials in the table for later use;
2. uniformly mixing a nitro compound and a nitro stabilizer, and adding the mixture into phosphoric acid;
3. adding a surfactant into the mixed solution, uniformly mixing, and ultrasonically dispersing to prepare a constant-speed etching solution of silicon nitride and P-type polycrystalline silicon;
the etching process is carried out according to the following steps:
1. cutting the wafer of the Si3N4 and the P-type polycrystalline silicon into small pieces of 1 x 1cm, washing with water, drying by using nitrogen, and measuring the initial thicknesses of the two wafers by using an ellipsometer;
2. heating the constant-speed etching solution to 158 ℃, etching at the stirring speed of 300r/min, and etching Si3N4 and the P-type polycrystalline silicon for 5min respectively;
3. after etching, the post-etching thicknesses of the two wafers were measured using an ellipsometer after rinsing with water and drying with nitrogen gas immediately, and the etching rates were calculated from the difference between the pre-and post-etching thicknesses and the etching time, and the results are shown in table 2.
TABLE 2
Figure BDA0003402493080000041
Figure BDA0003402493080000051
Comparing the above examples and comparative examples, the data shows that the addition of the nitro compound can significantly improve the etching rate of the etching solution to the P-type polysilicon, and by comparing the data of examples 1 and 4, comparative examples 2 and 3, it can be seen that the addition of the nitro stabilizer can effectively stabilize the acceleration effect of the nitro compound on the etching of the P-type polysilicon, which is beneficial to achieving the purpose of stabilizing the etching rate ratio of the silicon nitride layer and the P-type polysilicon layer at 1.0 ± 0.1, and by the data of examples and comparative examples 4, the addition of the perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acid can flatten the difference of the wettability of the etching solution on silicon dioxide and silicon substrate, and by the data of examples 14 and 15, when the low-boiling-point nitro compound is added, because the boiling point of the low-point nitro compound is lower than the working temperature, the volatilization amount of the low-boiling-point nitro compound at the working temperature is increased sharply, and the effect that can be played is unstable and very limited.
It is apparent that the above embodiments are only examples for clearly illustrating and do not limit the embodiments. Other variations and modifications will be apparent to persons skilled in the art in light of the above description. And are neither required nor exhaustive of all embodiments. And obvious variations or modifications are therefore intended to be included within the scope of the invention as claimed.
