Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an etching solution, its preparation method and application. Background technique [0002] A film such as silicon oxide and a film such as silicon nitride are representative insulator films, and in a semiconductor manufacturing process, a silicon oxide film or a silicon nitride film may be used alone or in the form of a laminate in which One or more layers of film are stacked alternately. In addition, an oxide film or a nitride film is also used as a hard mask for forming conductive patterns such as metal wirings. [0003] In a wet etching process for removing a nitride film, an aqueous phosphoric acid solution is generally used. There are many problems in the single phosphoric acid aqueous solution, such as: the selection ratio of the etching rate of silicon oxide and silicon nitride is improper, and there are many particles and sediments in the solution in a short period of time during the process, resulting in a short life...
