用於具有鈦及鋁層之金屬層積膜的蝕刻液組成物 Etching liquid composition for metal laminated film having titanium and aluminum layers

本發明係有關於一種金屬層積膜的蝕刻液組成物,該金屬層積膜係使用於液晶顯示器的閘極、源極及汲極電極。 The present invention relates to an etching liquid composition for a metal laminated film which is used for a gate, a source and a drain electrode of a liquid crystal display.

因為鋁或是在鋁中添加釹或矽或銅等不純物而成的合金,價廉且電阻非常低,被使用作為液晶顯示器的閘極、源極及汲極電極的材料。 Aluminum or an alloy in which an impurity such as tantalum or niobium or copper is added to aluminum is inexpensive and has a very low electrical resistance, and is used as a material for a gate, a source, and a drain electrode of a liquid crystal display.

但是,因為鋁或是鋁合金與基底膜之玻璃基板的黏著性稍差、容易因藥液、熱而被腐蝕,所以在鋁或鋁合金的上部及/或下部使用鉬或是鉬合金膜,以層積膜的形式使用於電極材料,藉由使用磷酸等之蝕刻液,對層積膜進行總括地蝕刻。 However, since aluminum or an aluminum alloy is slightly inferior in adhesion to a glass substrate of a base film and is easily corroded by a chemical solution or heat, a molybdenum or molybdenum alloy film is used on the upper and/or lower portions of the aluminum or aluminum alloy. The laminated film is used in the form of a laminated film for the electrode material, and the laminated film is collectively etched by using an etching solution such as phosphoric acid.

近年來,為了鉬或是鉬合金的價格高漲,及更進一步改良因藥液、熱所造成的腐蝕性之目的,鈦或是鈦合金正受到注目。蝕刻鉬所使用的磷酸等,無法用來蝕刻鈦或鈦合金,半導體基板係進行使用鹵素系氣體之反應性離子蝕刻(Reactive Ion Etch;RIE)等乾式蝕刻,來作為蝕刻鈦-鋁系金屬層積膜的方法。RIE藉由異方向性蝕刻而能夠控制於具有錐形形狀的程度,但是必須有昂貴的真空裝置或高頻產生裝置,就成本面而言係不利的,因此,希望開發一種總括蝕刻液,能夠更價廉、且亦能夠縮短處理時間。 In recent years, titanium or titanium alloys have attracted attention for the purpose of increasing the price of molybdenum or molybdenum alloys and further improving the corrosiveness caused by chemical liquids and heat. The phosphoric acid or the like used for etching molybdenum cannot be used to etch titanium or a titanium alloy, and the semiconductor substrate is subjected to dry etching such as reactive ion etching (Reactive Ion Etch; RIE) using a halogen-based gas as an etching titanium-aluminum-based metal layer. The method of film accumulation. RIE can be controlled to have a tapered shape by anisotropic etching, but an expensive vacuum device or a high-frequency generating device is required, which is disadvantageous in terms of cost. Therefore, it is desired to develop a collective etching solution capable of It is cheaper and can also reduce processing time.

另一方面,在半導體裝置的製程,在蝕刻以鈦作主成分之金屬薄膜時,已知通常是使用氫氟酸系蝕刻液(例如專利文獻1)。又,亦已知能夠藉由使用氨水-過氧化氫水的蝕刻液,來蝕刻鈦或是鈦合金(例如專利文獻2)。 On the other hand, in the process of a semiconductor device, when a metal thin film containing titanium as a main component is etched, it is known that a hydrofluoric acid-based etching liquid is generally used (for example, Patent Document 1). Further, it is also known that titanium or a titanium alloy can be etched by using an etching solution of ammonia water-hydrogen peroxide water (for example, Patent Document 2).

但是,使用氫氟酸系蝕刻液時,因為會使基底的玻璃基板、矽基板及化合物半導體基板遭受損傷,故無法使用。又,使用氨水-過氧化氫水時,因過氧化氫水的分解會產生氣泡,會有因氣泡附著在基板上而使蝕刻不完全、而且蝕刻液壽命短,導致難以使用之情形。 However, when a hydrofluoric acid-based etching liquid is used, the glass substrate, the tantalum substrate, and the compound semiconductor substrate of the substrate are damaged, and thus cannot be used. Further, when ammonia water-hydrogen peroxide water is used, bubbles are generated due to decomposition of hydrogen peroxide water, and the bubbles are adhered to the substrate to make the etching incomplete, and the life of the etching liquid is short, which makes it difficult to use.

另外,雖然與本發明作為玻璃基板等的蝕刻液之用途不同,有揭示一種組成物(專利文獻3)係以過氧化氫、氟化物、無機酸類及氟系界面活性劑作為必要成分,其目的係使用於裝飾品或電子零件之鈦及鈦合金的表面進行結垢去除或是平滑化,但是關於蝕刻金屬層積膜(含有鈦或以鈦作為主成分之合金所構成的層、及鋁或以鋁作為主成分的之合金所構成的層),沒有任何教導。又,有揭示一種含有過氧二硫酸鹽和氟化物之水溶液,其係作為蝕刻由鈦層和銅層所構成的金屬層積膜之蝕刻液(專利文獻4),但是並非有關於蝕刻由鋁層和鈦層所構成的金屬層積膜之物。 In addition, unlike the use of the etching liquid of the present invention as a glass substrate or the like, it is disclosed that a composition (Patent Document 3) contains hydrogen peroxide, a fluoride, an inorganic acid, and a fluorine-based surfactant as essential components. It is used for the scale removal or smoothing of titanium and titanium alloys used for decorative or electronic parts, but for etching metal laminated films (layers containing titanium or alloys containing titanium as a main component, and aluminum or There is no teaching of a layer composed of an alloy containing aluminum as a main component. Further, an aqueous solution containing peroxodisulfate and fluoride as an etching solution for etching a metal laminated film composed of a titanium layer and a copper layer is disclosed (Patent Document 4), but it is not related to etching by an aluminum layer. A metal laminated film made of a titanium layer.

因此,總括地蝕刻鈦-鋁金屬層積膜之適當手段,尚未被開發。 Therefore, a suitable means for collectively etching a titanium-aluminum metal laminated film has not been developed.

[實施發明的較佳形態] [Preferred form of implementing the invention]

以下詳述本發明實施形態。 The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

本發明之蝕刻液組成物的要點,係由氟化合物(但是,氫氟酸除外)、氧化劑、及水所構成。 The point of the etching liquid composition of the present invention is composed of a fluorine compound (except hydrofluoric acid), an oxidizing agent, and water.

本發明之蝕刻液所使用的氟化合物,可以認為係藉溶解金屬層積膜上被本蝕刻液成分中之氧化劑氧化的氧化鈦,來進行主要的蝕刻。本發明之蝕刻液所使用的氟化合物可以使用氫氟酸以外之任何氟化合物,係1種或2種以上選自六氟矽酸,及氫氟酸或六氟矽酸與金屬或氨的鹽中者,例如,較佳是氟化銨、氟化鉀、氟化鈣、氟化氫銨、氟化氫鉀、氟化鈉、氟化鎂、氟化鋰、六氟矽酸、六氟矽酸銨、六氟矽酸鈉、六氟矽酸鉀,特佳是氟化銨、氟化氫銨。 The fluorine compound used in the etching liquid of the present invention is considered to be mainly etched by dissolving titanium oxide which is oxidized by the oxidizing agent in the etching liquid component on the metal laminated film. The fluorine compound used in the etching solution of the present invention may be any fluorine compound other than hydrofluoric acid, and one or more selected from the group consisting of hexafluoroantimonic acid and hydrofluoric acid or a salt of hexafluoroantimonic acid and metal or ammonia. Among them, for example, ammonium fluoride, potassium fluoride, calcium fluoride, ammonium hydrogen fluoride, potassium hydrogen fluoride, sodium fluoride, magnesium fluoride, lithium fluoride, hexafluoroantimonic acid, ammonium hexafluoroantimonate, or preferably Sodium fluoroantimonate or potassium hexafluoroantimonate, particularly preferably ammonium fluoride or ammonium hydrogen fluoride.

又,本發明之蝕刻液所使用的氧化劑,係藉由氧化金屬層積膜上的鈦或是鈦合金,來擔任作為蝕刻引發劑的任務。本發明之蝕刻液所使用的氧化劑,係1種或2種以上選自硝酸、硝酸銨、硫酸銨、過氧二硫酸銨、過氧二硫酸 鉀、過氯酸、過氯酸銨、過氯酸鈉、過氯酸鉀、過碘酸、過碘酸鈉、過碘酸鉀、甲磺酸、過氧化氫水、硫酸及硫酸乙二胺中者,其中以硝酸、過氧二硫酸銨、甲磺酸為佳。 Further, the oxidizing agent used in the etching liquid of the present invention serves as an etching initiator by using titanium or a titanium alloy on the metal oxide film. The oxidizing agent used in the etching solution of the present invention is one or more selected from the group consisting of nitric acid, ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulfate, ammonium peroxodisulfate, and peroxydisulfuric acid. Potassium, perchloric acid, ammonium perchlorate, sodium perchlorate, potassium perchlorate, periodate, sodium periodate, potassium periodate, methanesulfonic acid, hydrogen peroxide, sulfuric acid and ethylenediamine sulfate Among them, nitric acid, ammonium peroxodisulfate, and methanesulfonic acid are preferred.

亦可以使用硫酸銨、硫酸乙二胺以外的含氮有機化合物硫酸鹽,例如,哌嗪(piperazine)、1-(2-胺基乙基)哌嗪、1-胺基-甲基哌嗪等硫酸鹽作為氧化劑,就容易取得性而言,以硫酸銨、硫酸乙二胺為佳。 It is also possible to use a nitrogen-containing organic compound sulfate other than ammonium sulfate or ethylenediamine sulfate, for example, piperazine, 1-(2-aminoethyl)piperazine, 1-amino-methylpiperazine, etc. Sulfate is preferred as an oxidizing agent, and ammonium sulfate or ethylenediamine sulfate is preferred.

特佳是硝酸或是甲磺酸,因為即使低濃度亦能夠降低錐形角度,例如40度以下。雖然硝酸或是甲磺酸以外的氧化劑,降低錐形角度的效果較差,但是因為對光阻的損傷較小、能夠控制側面蝕刻的量,故較佳。含有前述氟化合物及硝酸或是甲磺酸之蝕刻液,能夠將錐形角度控制在40度以下,進而藉由添加至少1種以上選自硝酸及甲磺酸以外的氧化劑、或是胺基硫酸、乙酸、鹽酸中者,能夠將錐形角度控制在30~90度之間。 Particularly preferred is nitric acid or methanesulfonic acid because the cone angle can be lowered even at low concentrations, for example below 40 degrees. Although nitric acid or an oxidizing agent other than methanesulfonic acid has a poor effect of lowering the taper angle, it is preferable because the damage to the photoresist is small and the amount of side etching can be controlled. The etching solution containing the fluorine compound, nitric acid or methanesulfonic acid can control the taper angle to 40 degrees or less, and further add at least one type of oxidizing agent other than nitric acid and methanesulfonic acid or amine sulfuric acid. In acetic acid or hydrochloric acid, the taper angle can be controlled between 30 and 90 degrees.

本發明之蝕刻液組成物之較佳組合,除了氟化銨與硝酸、氟化銨與甲磺酸之外,組合使用2種以上氧化劑時,以下述為佳:氟化銨與硝酸及過氯酸;氟化銨與硝酸及硫酸;氟化銨與硝酸、過氯酸及甲磺酸;氟化銨與硝酸、過氯酸及硫酸。 In a preferred combination of the etching liquid composition of the present invention, in addition to ammonium fluoride and nitric acid, ammonium fluoride and methanesulfonic acid, when two or more kinds of oxidizing agents are used in combination, the following are preferred: ammonium fluoride and nitric acid and perchloric acid Acid; ammonium fluoride and nitric acid and sulfuric acid; ammonium fluoride and nitric acid, perchloric acid and methanesulfonic acid; ammonium fluoride and nitric acid, perchloric acid and sulfuric acid.

又,為了提高與基板之潤濕性的目的,亦可以在本蝕刻液中,添加使用通常所用的界面活性劑或有機溶劑。 Further, in order to improve the wettability with the substrate, a commonly used surfactant or organic solvent may be added to the etching solution.

本發明之蝕刻液係適合使用來蝕刻金屬層積膜,該金屬層積膜含有鈦或以鈦作為主成分之合金所構成的層、及 鋁或以鋁作為主成分之合金所構成的層,係在由玻璃基板等所構成的絕緣基板及矽基板、化合物半導體基板上,藉由濺鍍法所形成,例如鈦/鋁、鋁/鈦、鈦/鋁/鈦所構成的金屬積層膜,該蝕刻液之氟化合物的濃度為0.01~5重量%,以0.1~1重量%為佳,氧化劑的濃度為0.1~50重量%,以0.5~10重量%為佳。 The etching liquid of the present invention is suitably used for etching a metal laminated film containing titanium or a layer composed of an alloy containing titanium as a main component, and A layer made of aluminum or an alloy containing aluminum as a main component is formed on a insulating substrate made of a glass substrate or the like, a tantalum substrate, or a compound semiconductor substrate by sputtering, for example, titanium/aluminum, aluminum/titanium. a metal laminated film made of titanium/aluminum/titanium, wherein the concentration of the fluorine compound in the etching solution is 0.01 to 5% by weight, preferably 0.1 to 1% by weight, and the concentration of the oxidizing agent is 0.1 to 50% by weight, 0.5 to 0.5% 10% by weight is preferred.
