Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize formation of wiring with platinum or gold being suited to mass-productivity by executing wet-etching by hot aqua regia to a metal layer with a pattern of titanium, tatanium compound or titanium alloy used as the protection film. CONSTITUTION:An insulating film 2 of SiO2, etc. is formed on a semiconductor substrate 1 and platinum 3 and titanium 4 are continuously deposited. Then, titanium 4 as the base material is etched with photo resist pattern 4 used as the protection film. Such etching may be done by the plasma etching using CF4 gas or wet-etching using fluoric acid. After the photoresist pattern 5 is eliminated, platinum 3 is etched by hot aqua regia with titanium 4 used as the protection film. At this time, titanium is resistive to hot aqua regia and does not show any distortion of pattern and etching fault like corroded spots. Finally, formation of wiring pattern of platinum completes with etching of titanium 4.

On the other hand, platinum and gold are stable and resistant to most inorganic chemicals, and can only be etched with a special strong acid such as aqua regia. These metal wirings are usually formed by etching a photoresist film using a pupil retaining film, but photoresist cannot withstand and is eroded by the aqua regia mentioned above, so the precise precision required for semiconductor devices cannot be achieved. It was difficult to obtain the wiring pattern. In addition, plasma etching of platinum and gold
The etching speed was extremely slow and the reproducibility was poor, making it impractical. For these reasons, platinum and gold interconnects are formed using the lift-off method.

That is, a resist pattern opposite to a desired wiring pattern is first formed on a semiconductor substrate, and then a metal such as platinum or gold is deposited by sputtering or vacuum evaporation, and then a photoresist is removed. Then, the unnecessary metal film on the photoresist is also removed at the same time, and the desired metal wiring can be obtained.However, this lift-off method causes defective wiring spots (short circuits) to occur in parts of the periphery of the semiconductor substrate. It has the drawbacks of being easy to perform and having poor reproducibility.
