Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an etching solution for a copper (Cu) layer, a copper / molybdenum (Cu / Mo) layer, or a copper / molybdenum alloy (Cu / MoX) layer. Background technique [0002] In a semiconductor device, in order to form a metal line on a substrate, a process of forming a metal layer by sputtering, a process of forming a photoresist layer with a predetermined pattern on the metal layer, and using the photoresist as a contact window are generally performed. A contact mask is used to implement the etch process of etching. In particular, the etching process is performed by dry etching using such as plasma or wet etching using an etching solution. In the case of dry etching, since a high vacuum and the like are required, the etching conditions are strict and costly. Therefore, wet etching is more advantageous than dry etching when an appropriate etching solution is present. [0003] At the same time, in thin film transistor liquid crystal dis...

In this case, it can easily control the etch rate, consistently obtain the desired taper, obtain excellent flatness, make the critical dimension loss (CD loss) small, and cause no residue, so it can be used in manufacturing applications. Liquid crystal display device with copper/molybdenum layer, but its disadvantage is that the aging fluctuation according to the change of metal ion concentration is drastic, specifically, the stability of the etching solution due to the increase of the rapid decomposition reaction of hydrogen peroxide due to the large amount of copper ions reduce
