Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, the etching solution used for semiconductor silicon wafers is hydrofluoric acid solution at room temperature. Since hydrofluoric acid is a weak acid, the etching speed and etching depth of silicon and the cleanliness of the silicon surface after etching cannot fully meet different requirements. Production requirements, and the corrosion rate is too fast at room temperature, resulting in uneven surface corrosion of silicon wafers

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of microelectronic processing and especially to a semiconductor silicon wafer corrosive liquid. The semiconductor silicon wafer corrosive liquid is formed by mixing nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid, and glacial acetic acid according to a volume ratio of 4-14: 4-14: 6-18. A semiconductor silicon wafer is placed in a closed container containing the semiconductor silicon wafer corrosive liquid in order to be corroded on a low-temperature condition. Different corrosion demands are satisfied by regulating the ratio of the nitric acid to the hydrofluoric acid. The corrosion rate and the corrosion depth of the semiconductor silicon wafer, and the surface cleanliness of the corroded semiconductor silicon wafer can be controlled on the low-temperature condition. The corrosion rate at a low-temperature environment is less than that at a normal-temperature environment, so the corrosive uniformity of the semiconductor silicon wafer is easier to control. The semiconductor silicon wafer corrosive liquid is easy to form, attainable in raw material, low in cost, and very suitable for industrial production of semiconductor microelectronics.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of microelectronic processing, in particular to a semiconductor silicon wafer etching solution and an etching method thereof. Background technique [0002] In the microelectronics processing technology, the semiconductor wafer manufacturing process generally includes the following steps: providing a wafer inverted garden obtained by cutting and slicing a single crystal block, mechanical polishing, etching, polishing and cleaning, and producing a wafer with high-precision flatness wafer. Wafers that have undergone mechanical treatments such as dicing, OD grinding, slicing, grinding, etc. have a damaged layer, that is, a process-damaged layer on one of its surfaces that causes slippage, dislocation, etc. during device fabrication Crystal defects reduce the mechanical strength of the wafer and adversely affect the electrical properties. Therefore, this layer must be completely removed. In order to remove the p...
