Definitions
- the present invention relates to a corrosion inhibitor system for semiconductor wafer cleaning in a semiconductor fabrication process.
- the application, exposure and imaging of the photoresist layer is a necessary process step for the pattern fabrication of the components.
- the residue of the photoresist layer material needs to be completely removed before the next process step (i.e., after coating, imaging, ion implantation, and etching of the photoresist layer).
- the ion bombardment hardens the photoresist layer polymer during the doping step, thus making the photoresist layer less soluble and more difficult to remove.
- this layer of photoresist film has been removed by a two-step process (dry ashing and wet etching).
- the first step utilizes dry ashing to remove most of the photoresist layer;
- the second step utilizes the corrosion inhibitor composition wet etch/clean process to remove and clean away the remaining photoresist layer.
- the corrosion inhibitor composition can only remove the polymer photoresist layer (PR) and the inorganic residue, and cannot attack the damaged metal layer such as the aluminum layer, which usually takes a long time;
- PR polymer photoresist layer
- the inorganic residue In order to facilitate the removal of the photoresist layer, it is often required to carry out at a high temperature.
- 6030932 (Leon, Olin) and US 6,635,186 (Small, EKC) and other patents disclose some corrosion inhibitor compositions for wet etching removal of photoresist layers, including corrosion inhibitor compositions including catechol or 8-hydroxyl groups. Toxic substances such as quinoline. Although these corrosion inhibitor compositions containing catechol or its derivatives, 8-hydroxyquinoline or other corrosion inhibitors have good corrosion inhibition effects, the corrosion inhibitor compositions are generally high in concentration and highly toxic, and need to be When used at high temperatures, it is not friendly to the environment, causing great harm to human health. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new type of corrosion inhibition system. Summary of invention

Description
用于半导体晶片清洗的缓蚀剂体系 技术领域 Corrosion inhibitor system for semiconductor wafer cleaning
本发明涉及一种半导体制造过程中用于半导体晶片清洗的缓蚀剂体系。 The present invention relates to a corrosion inhibitor system for semiconductor wafer cleaning in a semiconductor fabrication process.
议不 Negotiating
在半导体元器件制造过程中, 光阻层的涂敷、曝光和成像对元器件的图 案制造来说是必要的工艺步骤。在图案化的最后(即在光阻层的涂敷、成像、 离子植入和蚀刻之后)进行下一工艺步骤之前, 光阻层材料的残留物需彻底 除去。在掺杂步骤中离子轰击(ion bombardment)会硬化光阻层聚合物, 因 此使得光阻层变得不易溶从而更难于除去。至今在半导体制造工业中一般使 用两步法(干法灰化和湿蚀刻)除去这层光阻层膜。第一步利用干法灰化除 去光阻层的大部分;第二步利用缓蚀剂组合物湿蚀刻 /清洗工艺除去且清洗掉 剩余的光阻层。在第二步的清洗工艺过程中, 缓蚀剂组合物只能除去聚合物 光阻层(PR)和无机残留物, 而不能攻击损害金属层如铝层, 通常该步骤需 要很长时间; 且为了有助于光阻层的除去, 常需要在高温下进行。 In the fabrication of semiconductor components, the application, exposure and imaging of the photoresist layer is a necessary process step for the pattern fabrication of the components. The residue of the photoresist layer material needs to be completely removed before the next process step (i.e., after coating, imaging, ion implantation, and etching of the photoresist layer). The ion bombardment hardens the photoresist layer polymer during the doping step, thus making the photoresist layer less soluble and more difficult to remove. Up to now, in the semiconductor manufacturing industry, this layer of photoresist film has been removed by a two-step process (dry ashing and wet etching). The first step utilizes dry ashing to remove most of the photoresist layer; the second step utilizes the corrosion inhibitor composition wet etch/clean process to remove and clean away the remaining photoresist layer. In the cleaning process of the second step, the corrosion inhibitor composition can only remove the polymer photoresist layer (PR) and the inorganic residue, and cannot attack the damaged metal layer such as the aluminum layer, which usually takes a long time; In order to facilitate the removal of the photoresist layer, it is often required to carry out at a high temperature.
如现有技术中 US 5334332 (Lee, EKC), US 5417877 (Ward, Ashland) US As in the prior art US 5334332 (Lee, EKC), US 5417877 (Ward, Ashland) US

Toxic substances such as quinoline. Although these corrosion inhibitor compositions containing catechol or its derivatives, 8-hydroxyquinoline or other corrosion inhibitors have good corrosion inhibition effects, the corrosion inhibitor compositions are generally high in concentration and highly toxic, and need to be When used at high temperatures, it is not friendly to the environment, causing great harm to human health.

将上述表 1和表 2中的各成份按照比例混合均匀,制得本发明的缓蚀剂 体系及对比的体系。 The components of the above Tables 1 and 2 were uniformly mixed in proportion to obtain a corrosion inhibitor system of the present invention and a comparative system.
效果实施例 1 ·: ' Effect Example 1 ·: '
将对比实施例 Γ〜3,的体系及实施例 1〜9的缓蚀剂体系在不含氟的体 系中用于清洗蚀刻空白 A1晶片。测试方法和条件: 25°C, 摇床为 60转每分 钟, 时间为 30分钟。 蚀刻速率是通过四极探针仪测试其蚀刻前后表面电阻 变化后计算而得, 结果如表 3 '所示。 The system of Comparative Example Γ3, and the corrosion inhibitor system of Examples 1 to 9 were used for cleaning the etched blank A1 wafer in a fluorine-free system. Test methods and conditions: 25 ° C, shaker 60 rpm, time 30 minutes. The etching rate was calculated by testing the surface resistance change before and after etching by a quadrupole prober, and the results are shown in Table 3'.
表 3 缓蚀剂体系在不含氟的体系中对空白 A1晶片的蚀刻速率 Table 3 Etching rate of blank A1 wafer in corrosion inhibitor system in fluorine-free system
注: Rate表示蚀刻速率; 蚀刻速率为负值, 表示蚀刻速率几乎为零。 在半导体清洗工艺中,若金属蚀刻速率小于或等于 2.0 A/min,则说明缓 蚀剂体系具有相当好的腐蚀抑制作用。从表 3可以看出, 不含含羧基聚合物 的缓蚀剂体系对空白 A1晶片的蚀刻速率大于 2.0 A/min; 本发明的含羧基的
聚合物的缓蚀剂体系用于清洗空白 Al晶片, A1蚀刻速率都小于 2.0 A/min, 可以明显降低 A1的蚀刻速率, 甚至达到 0 A/min, 完全抑制了 A1腐蚀作用。 从而说明本发明的含羧基的聚合物的缓蚀剂体系可以显著地抑制 A1腐蚀, 从而有利于 A1晶片的光阻层有机残留物和 /或无机残留物有效去除。 Note: Rate represents the etch rate; the etch rate is negative, indicating that the etch rate is almost zero. In the semiconductor cleaning process, if the metal etching rate is less than or equal to 2.0 A/min, the corrosion inhibitor system has a relatively good corrosion inhibition effect. As can be seen from Table 3, the corrosion rate of the corrosion inhibitor system containing no carboxyl group-containing polymer on the blank A1 wafer is greater than 2.0 A/min; the carboxyl group-containing of the present invention The polymer corrosion inhibitor system is used to clean the blank Al wafer. The A1 etching rate is less than 2.0 A/min, which can significantly reduce the etching rate of A1, even reaching 0 A/min, completely inhibiting the A1 corrosion. Therefore, the corrosion inhibitor system of the carboxyl group-containing polymer of the present invention can significantly inhibit A1 corrosion, thereby facilitating effective removal of organic residues and/or inorganic residues of the photoresist layer of the A1 wafer.

将上述实施例 4缓蚀剂体系用于清洗蚀刻空白 Si02晶片, 测试方法和 条件: 25°C, 摇床为 60转每分钟, 时间为 30分钟, 用 NANOSPEC薄膜测 厚仪(购于 NANO metrics公司)测试 Si02晶片蚀刻前后表面膜厚变化计算 得蚀刻速率。 The above Example 4 corrosion inhibitor system was used to clean the etched blank Si0 2 wafer, test method and conditions: 25 ° C, shaker 60 rpm, time 30 minutes, using NANOSPEC film thickness gauge (purchased in NANO Metrics) measured the etch rate of the surface film thickness change before and after etching of the Si0 2 wafer.
结果表明: 在本发明中, Si02的蚀刻速率为 0.78A/min, 其蚀刻速率小 于 2A/min, 说明本发明的缓蚀剂体系也可以抑制 Si02腐蚀。 The results showed that: In the present invention, the etch rate of Si0 2 was 0.78A / min, the etching rate which is less than 2A / min, described corrosion inhibitor system of the present invention may also inhibit the corrosion Si0 2.

Test methods and conditions: 25 ° C, shaker 60 rpm, time 30 minutes. The etching rate was calculated by testing the surface resistance change before and after etching by a quadrupole prober. The results are shown in Table 4.
表 4 本发明的缓蚀剂体系用于含氟体系对空白 A1晶片的蚀刻速率
Table 4 Corrosion rate of the corrosion inhibitor system of the present invention for the blank A1 wafer of the fluorine-containing system
在半导体清洗工艺中, 常用氟化物来辅助除去晶片上的残留物, 但氟化 物往往同时也增加金属的蚀 j速率。如表 4数据表明, 在含有氟化物的体系 中, 本发明的缓蚀剂体系用于清洗空白 A1晶片, A1蚀刻速率也很小, 也可 以将 A1的蚀刻速率降至 2.0 A/min以下,即使只含有含羧基聚合物而不含小 分子酸和小分子碱的缓蚀剂体系 (如实施例 21 ) 也可以将 A1蚀刻速率降至 1.88A/min, A1的腐蚀得到了完全的抑制。 In semiconductor cleaning processes, fluoride is commonly used to assist in the removal of residues on the wafer, but fluoride also tends to increase the rate of metal etch. As shown in the data in Table 4, in the fluoride-containing system, the corrosion inhibitor system of the present invention is used for cleaning the blank A1 wafer, and the etching rate of A1 is also small, and the etching rate of A1 can also be reduced to 2.0 A/min or less. Even a corrosion inhibitor system containing only a carboxyl group-containing polymer and no small molecular acid and small molecule base (as in Example 21) can reduce the A1 etch rate to 1.88 A/min, and the corrosion of A1 is completely suppressed.
