Embodiment
The invention provides a kind of method that removes photoresist.The present invention of Fig. 1-4 illustration removes the preferred implementation of photoresist agent method, and it has can destroy photoresist, can not cause the further oxidation of silicon substrate again, and then takes into account the advantage of the integrality of polysilicon circuit simultaneously.At first, as shown in Figure 1, provide base material 101.Base material 101 is generally semiconductor substrate, for example silicon substrate.Base material 101 comprises patterning photoresist 110, is positioned at the end face of base material 101, or includes the material layer or the polysilicon circuit 102 of desiring to carry out patterning, for example grid structure, word line, bit line, resistance or fuse-wires structure etc. in addition.
According to different conditions of exposures, the photo anti-corrosion agent material layer can be positive light anti-etching agent or negative type photoresist.In addition, according to different exposure wavelength, the photo anti-corrosion agent material layer can comprise multiple different organic material, for example acrylate (acrylate), ketenes (vinyl ketone), tygon phenol (polyhydroxystyrene, PHS) or the like.Persons skilled in the art can be selected suitable photo anti-corrosion agent material according to different demands.
Secondly, as shown in Figure 2, base material 101 is carried out the making step of semiconductor element, for example ion injection, Cement Composite Treated by Plasma, etching step etc.With the ion implantation step is example, and this ion implantation step can be any ion implantation step that admixture 120 is imported the base material 101 that is not patterned the photoresist covering.Such as but not limited to, light drain electrode is mixed, and (LDD) ion injects, drain ion is injected or the source electrode ion injects or the like.This ion implantation step is to be used for base material 101 or the thin layer on it are mixed, but can influence the character of photoresist 110, for example becomes have the duricrust shape surface of (hard shell), and changes the character of photoresist 110 in fact.
For example, after some ion doping step, the character of patterning photo anti-corrosion agent material layer can change in fact to some extent because of the employed admixture of ion doping step, becomes have the duricrust shape surface of (hard shell).This surface has the photo anti-corrosion agent material layer of duricrust because become very hard, is difficult to divest fully with the sulfuric acid of high temperature and the potpourri of hydrogen peroxide again.Therefore, in order to divest the photo anti-corrosion agent material layer fully, just need the effect of longer time.Thus, though can remove the photo anti-corrosion agent material layer reluctantly, but also can hurt the quality of each thin layer that has been patterned on the base material simultaneously by way of parenthesis, especially polysilicon circuit, high temperature sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide strip process can seriously corrode polycrystalline silicon material for a long time, even cause the fracture of polysilicon circuit, so therefore semiconductor element lost efficacy.
Next, as shown in Figure 3, base material 101 is carried out non-oxidizable pre-treatment.This non-oxidizable pre-treatment meeting provides the treatment conditions that comprise hydrogen 130, carrier gas and plasma, to destroy photoresist 110.As previously mentioned, after the ion doping step, the character of patterning photo anti-corrosion agent material layer can change in fact to some extent because of the employed admixture of ion doping step, becomes have the duricrust shape surface of (hard shell).This surface has the photo anti-corrosion agent material layer of duricrust, is difficult to divest fully at short notice with the sulfuric acid of high temperature and the potpourri of hydrogen peroxide again.Therefore the present invention utilizes to carry out this non-oxidizable pre-treatment, makes the photo anti-corrosion agent material layer be easier to be subjected to the effect of the sulfuric acid and the hydrogen peroxide potpourri of high temperature.
Non-oxidizable pre-treatment meeting provides the treatment conditions that comprise hydrogen, carrier gas and plasma.The concentration of hydrogen for example can be between 4%-40%.In addition, can also use inert gas such as nitrogen as carrier gas.When carrying out non-oxidizable pre-treatment, preferably can under interim temperature, carry out.For example, heating source is positioned at the below of base material 101, and when temperature was controlled at 250 ℃, base material 101 is heat-treated 300 seconds under away from the low temperature of heating source earlier, and base material 101 positions shift near heating source more then, at high temperature continue to handle 150 seconds.The treatment conditions of plasma can be identical with the treatment conditions of plasma ashing step, changes the duricrust shape surface of photoresist 110, especially photoresist 110 with part.Should be appreciated that, at different semiconductor technology steps such as etching or injection, the etching of different photoresist types such as DUV photoresist or IR photoresist, photoresist process or inject employed different plant species or different energy or gas with various atmosphere or the like injected, can adjust above-mentioned non-oxidizable pre-treatment parameter such as temperature, time, upper/lower electrode energy or the like.
Non-oxidizable pre-treatment is a kind of non-oxidizing effect.Oxygen is not used in this non-oxidizable pre-treatment, or other known oxygenants, fluorine for example, and use non-oxidizing gas such as hydrogen, nitrogen, make the possible damage of base material and the element on it reduce to minimum.
Then, as shown in Figure 4, just can carry out the photoresist strip step to base material 101.The photoresist strip step preferably can remove patterning photoresist 110 fully.Can use known photoresist to divest mode, for example the wet-cleaning step is carried out the photoresist strip step.For example, use the hydrogen peroxide solution of sulfuric acid to remove patterning photoresist 110.Or, use the hydrogen peroxide solution of ammonia to remove patterning photoresist 110.Become and divest easily owing to patterning photoresist 110 has lived through non-oxidizable pre-treatment, so follow-up photoresist strip step can either remove patterning photoresist 110 fully, can not injure base material 101 in fact yet, for example be positioned at the polysilicon circuit 102 on the base material 101, and make polysilicon circuit 102 be maintained its integrality.
In the methods of the invention,, can make that photoresist is removed easily, can not cause the further oxidation of silicon substrate again, and then make the polysilicon lines rood to keep its integrality because base material was carried out non-oxidizable pre-treatment earlier.Therefore, the present invention removes the method for photoresist, has the advantage that breaks through the conventional art obstacle,
The above only is the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and all equivalent variations and modifications of doing according to claim of the present invention all should belong to covering scope of the present invention.
