Description

Etching solution blending device and etchant concentration determinator
Technical field
The present invention relates in semiconductor manufacturing process or flat-panel monitor manufacturing process (crystal liquid substrate manufacturing process, OLED display manufacturing process etc.), utilize pipeline and aluminium film (second film of the first film of the film of aluminum or aluminum alloy, molybdenum or molybdenum alloy and aluminum or aluminum alloy for example, below, be called the aluminium film) concoct device with the etching solution of Etaching device connection.
Background technology
In the etching work procedure of the aluminium film in crystal liquid substrate manufacturing process etc., as etching solution, the mixed aqueous solution of the mixed aqueous solution of the mixed aqueous solution of nitric acid and phosphoric acid, nitric acid and phosphoric acid and acetic acid, nitric acid and phosphoric acid and malonic acid etc. are that the nitration mixture aqueous solution of principal component waits with sputter mode or impregnation method and uses with acid.Use the mixed aqueous solution of nitric acid and phosphoric acid and acetic acid mostly.For example, can enumerate phosphoric acid concentration is 70.0%, and acetate concentration is 10.0%, and concentration of nitric acid is 4.0%, and remaining moisture concentration is 16.0% the aqueous solution.
The aluminium film of crystal liquid substrate manufacturing process with etching solution for corresponding to etching work procedure, coning angle, stability and the high finished product rate of meticulous, the regulation that obtains that the highest exploring power, pattern forms, have to its composition of strict control and concentration.Especially, the height of following pattern in recent years to form becomes more meticulous, and requires pattern to form the miniaturization of width gradually.To this, also strong request the raising of blending precision of etchant concentration.
In addition, the use amount of etching solution is owing to the maximization of LCD, maximization, the batch processization of the caused glass substrate of employing multiaspect, and etching solution that need be a large amount of.And then because the low-price competition of international LCD, just the cost at the strong request etching solution reduces.
In order to tackle such problem, for example, a plurality of etching baths have been proposed to switch successively, the soup monitor apparatus (for example, with reference to patent documentation 1) that manages with a concentration of measuring system's METHOD FOR CONTINUOUS DETERMINATION soup or temperature.
[patent documentation 1] TOHKEMY 2003-086565 communique.
But in the past, in manufacturing works such as LCD, the situation of using etching solution to the basis of desired value in blending and with concentration adjustment was not only aspect slave unit and the operating cost, and from technological standpoints such as concentration determinations, also extremely difficult.For whether the etching solution of the stoste of the stoste of verifying the stoste of having mixed nitric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid and pure water becomes the composition and the concentration of regulation, need to measure the concentration of each composition.
Yet, can not be with the embedded or online concentration of correctly measuring nitric acid, phosphoric acid and the acetic acid of etching solution, the acid concentration after can not the The real time measure blending.
In the past, do not know to be used for the good determination method of three kinds of quantitatively so respectively mixed acid.In etching solution producer, for example, the etching solution after the blending is once sampled, measure acid concentration with the ion chromatography instrument of off line, replenish stoste in shortage and the secondary regulated is concocted.In the part, utilize on-waterborne and titration to measure off and on therein, concoct the device of concentration in batches, but since device complicated, need to use the titration reagent, produce waste liquid, intermittently measure, therefore, produce a large amount of problems such as controlled bad grade.
Thereby, in manufacturing works such as LCD (below, be called " use side "), have to use by etching solution producer (below, be called " supply side ") and regulated the etching solution of composition and concentration.
In this case, mixing is adjusted to the stoste of the nitric acid of normal concentration, the stoste of phosphoric acid, the stoste and the pure water of acetic acid, the etching solution of its composition that becomes regulation and concentration ground blending is filled in the container, to the method for using side to supply with in the supply side employing.
At the etching solution of supply side modulation till using side to use, need be with transportation and keeping corresponding during, in the problem that has during this period the etching solution deterioration.And then the acetic acid in the etching solution has volatility, therefore, exists acetate concentration to reduce, and nitric acid is as NO xGaseous volatilization, the problem that causes concentration of nitric acid to reduce.
In addition, the etching solution blending device of concocting mode is continuously not only using side not have, and does not also have at supply side.This is because there is not the concentration measurement apparatus of the constituent concentration of METHOD FOR CONTINUOUS DETERMINATION etching solution.These problems also can be used as the blending of etching solution and enumerate the big reason of not carrying out in manufacturing works such as LCD (use side).
