Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor production, and in particular relates to a photoresist cleaning agent and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the development of integrated circuit technology, aluminum-tungsten metal connection and copper interconnection Damascus process have appeared successively, especially the emergence of hard mask copper interconnection Damascus process, which has posed a great challenge to the photoresist removal process. Photolithography is a conventional process used in the manufacture of integrated circuits, liquid crystal displays and chips, and photoresist is a material that must be used in the photolithography process. Photoresist, also known as photoresist, is a light-sensitive mixed liquid composed of three main components: photosensitive resin, sensitizer and solvent. It is widely used in the manufacture of printed circuits and integrated circuits, as well as printing plate making processes.
[0003] In semiconductor integrated circuits, photoresist is applied to the surface of metal materials, exposed, developed, and etched to form circuits, and then the photoresist is stripped from the substrate, or after the circuit is formed, plasma etching is performed on the pattern to transfer the pattern. These photoresists need to be completely removed before the next stage of the process.
[0004] Currently in the semiconductor industry, stripping photoresist and its residues requires dry ashing to remove most of the photoresist layer, and then using photoresist stripping liquid to remove the remaining photoresist layer. Many photoresist stripping liquids currently on the market have the following disadvantages: high cost and insufficient cleaning ability for negative photoresist; high corrosion to semiconductor wafer patterns and substrates; weak corrosion inhibition of metal circuits; unstable raw materials, with the risk of decomposition and explosion.

[0088] Test example

[0090] Table 1 Formulation information of Examples 1 to 2 and Comparative Examples 1 to 13
[0091]
[0092]
[0093] 1. Evaluate the effect of corrosion inhibitors on the corrosion resistance of photoresist cleaners:
[0094] The photoresist cleaning agents prepared in Examples 1 to 2 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 were respectively poured into a 2L container, and then the semiconductor substrate covered with photoresist was cut into chips of size 3 cm×3 cm, and immersed in the photoresist cleaning agent, respectively, and soaked at a constant temperature of 75°C for 30 minutes, rinsed with deionized water, and then blown dry with high-purity nitrogen. The degumming effect was observed by optical microscope and naked eye; after the observation, it was placed in the photoresist cleaning agent again to extend the soaking time to 72 hours, rinsed with deionized water, and then blown dry with high-purity nitrogen. The samples were dried and the corrosion on the surface of the metal substrate was observed under an optical microscope. It was found that comparative examples 1 and 2 had slight corrosion, while examples 1 and 2 and comparative examples 3, 4, 5, and 6 had no corrosion. Examples 1 and 2 and comparative examples 3, 4, 5, and 6 were immersed at a constant temperature of 75° C. for a total of 96 hours, rinsed with deionized water, and dried with high-purity nitrogen. The corrosion on the surface of the metal substrate was observed under an optical microscope. It was found that examples 1 and 2 had no corrosion, while comparative examples 3, 4, 5, and 6 had slight corrosion. The results are shown in Table 2.
[0095] Table 2 Performance test results of photoresist cleaning agents provided by Examples 1 to 2 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6
[0096] Glue removal effect Corrosion degree Example 1 Complete removal 96 hours of no corrosion Example 2 Complete removal 96 hours of no corrosion Comparative Example 1 Complete removal Slight corrosion after 72 hours Comparative Example 2 Complete removal Slight corrosion after 72 hours Comparative Example 3 Complete removal 96 hours with slight corrosion Comparative Example 4 Complete removal 96 hours with slight corrosion Comparative Example 5 Complete removal 96 hours with slight corrosion Comparative Example 6 Complete removal 96 hours with slight corrosion
[0097] As shown in Table 2, the photoresist cleaning agents provided in Examples 1 to 2 of the present invention and Comparative Examples 1 to 6 have good photoresist removal effects and can completely remove the photoresist on the surface of the metal substrate.
[0098] However, in the detection of corrosion conditions, the photoresist cleaning agents provided by Examples 1 and 2 did not corrode the metal substrate after immersion at a constant temperature of 75°C for 96 hours, while Comparative Examples 1 and 2 had slight corrosion after immersion at a constant temperature of 75°C for 72 hours, and Comparative Examples 3, 4, 5, and 6 had slight corrosion after immersion at a constant temperature of 75°C for 96 hours, indicating that the mixed use of the corrosion inhibitors sorbitol and mercaptobenzothiazole can improve the corrosion resistance of the photoresist cleaning agent; and the mixing mass ratio of sorbitol and mercaptobenzothiazole in the corrosion inhibitors used in Comparative Examples 3 to 6 is different from that in Examples 1 to 2, and the anti-corrosion effect of the photoresist cleaning agents provided by Comparative Examples 3 to 6 is not as good as that of Examples 1 to 2, indicating that when the mass ratio of sorbitol and mercaptobenzothiazole is 3:1, the anti-corrosion effect brought by the corrosion inhibitor is optimal.
[0099] 2. Evaluate the effect of surfactants on photoresist removal by photoresist cleaners:
[0100] The photoresist cleaning agents prepared in Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 7-13 were poured into 2L containers respectively, and then the semiconductor substrate covered with photoresist was cut into chips of 3cm×3cm in size, and immersed in the photoresist cleaning agent respectively, with Examples 1-2 soaked at 75°C for 30min, Comparative Examples 7-12 soaked at 75°C for 40min, and Comparative Example 13 soaked at 75°C for 50min, taken out, rinsed with deionized water, and then dried with high-purity nitrogen. The removal of the photoresist and the corrosion of the metal were confirmed by optical microscope and naked eyes, and the results are shown in Table 3.
[0101] Table 3 Performance test results of photoresist cleaning agents provided by Examples 1 to 2 and Comparative Examples 7 to 12
[0102] Soaking time Removal Effect Corrosion degree Example 1 30min Complete removal No corrosion Example 2 30min Complete removal No corrosion Comparative Example 7 40min There is residual glue No corrosion Comparative Example 8 40min There is residual glue No corrosion Comparative Example 9 40min There is residual glue No corrosion Comparative Example 10 40min There is residual glue No corrosion Comparative Example 11 40min There is residual glue No corrosion Comparative Example 12 40min There is residual glue No corrosion Comparative Example 13 50min There is residual glue No corrosion
[0103] As can be seen from Table 3, when the chip is immersed in the photoresist cleaning agent provided by Examples 1 to 2 of the present invention at 75°C for 30 minutes, the photoresist can be completely removed, while the photoresist cleaning agent provided by Comparative Examples 7 to 12 has a worse degumming effect than Examples 1 to 2 when the chip is immersed in the photoresist cleaning agent at 75°C for 40 minutes, indicating that the surfactants fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether and sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate can enhance the penetration of organic solvents and alkaline compounds in the photoresist, promote the degumming effect, and increase the degumming speed, and are more suitable for the preparation of photoresist cleaning agents than other surfactants; the photoresist cleaning agent provided by Comparative Example 13 does not contain any surfactant at all. Although the immersion time is the longest, the degumming effect is still worse than that of Examples 1 to 2, indicating that the addition of surfactants can greatly improve the degumming effect of the photoresist cleaning agent.
[0104] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention. In addition, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
