Specifically, in the photolithography step, the obtained photoresist film is used as a mask, and the metal layer and / or the interlayer insulating film on the substrate are etched by dry etching. At this time, residues from the metal layer and / or the interlayer insulating film may adhere to the substrate, the metal layer, and / or the interlayer insulating film. In order to remove the attached residue, cleaning using a treatment liquid is usually performed in many cases. Moreover, the photoresist film used as a mask at the time of etching is removed from the laminated body by a dry method (dry ashing) by ashing (ashing), a wet method, or the like thereafter. Residues from the photoresist film etc. may adhere to the laminate where the resist is removed by dry ashing. In order to remove the attached residue, cleaning using a treatment liquid is usually performed in many cases. On the other hand, as a wet method for removing a photoresist film, an aspect in which a photoresist film is removed using a processing liquid is mentioned. As described above, the treatment liquid is used to remove residues (etching residues and ashing residues) and / or photoresist films and the like in the semiconductor element manufacturing steps.

In addition, as the metal removal step of the object to be purified, metal particles contained in the object to be purified can be removed by using a filter mentioned as a filter used in the filtering step described later.
[0121] The metal to be removed from the product to be purified by the metal removal step is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include metals such as Li, Na, Mg, Al, K, Ca, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Zn, and Pb. The above metal content is reduced in the purified product obtained by the metal removal step compared to the purified product.

[0122] <Filtering Step> The above-mentioned production method preferably includes a filtering step of filtering the liquid in order to remove foreign matter and coarse particles from the liquid. The filtering method is not particularly limited, and known filtering methods can be used. Among them, filtration using a filter is preferable.
[0123] The filter used for filtration can be used without particular limitation as long as it is conventionally used for filtration purposes and the like. Examples of materials constituting the filter include fluorine resins such as PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), polyamide resins such as nylon, polyolefin resins such as polyethylene and polypropylene (PP) (including high-density, ultra-high molecular weight ), and Jufangqi, etc. Among them, polyamide-based resins, PTFE, polypropylene (including high-density polypropylene) and polyarylate are preferred. By using a filter formed of these raw materials, it is possible to more effectively remove highly polar foreign matter that tends to cause defects from the composition.
[0124] The critical surface tension of the filter is preferably at least 70 mN / m as the lower limit, and preferably at least 95 mN / m as the upper limit. In particular, the critical surface tension of the filter is preferably 75 to 85 mN / m. Furthermore, the value of the critical surface tension is the manufacturer's nominal value. By using a filter having a critical surface tension within the above-mentioned range, it is possible to more effectively remove highly polar foreign matter that tends to cause defects from the composition.
[0125] The pore size of the filter is preferably about 0.001-1.0 μm, more preferably about 0.02-0.5 μm, and still more preferably about 0.01-0.1 μm. By setting the pore diameter of the filter within the above range, it is possible to reliably remove fine foreign matter contained in the composition while suppressing filter clogging.
[0126] When using filters, different filters can be combined. At this time, the filtration with the first filter may be performed only once, or may be performed two or more times. When performing two or more filtrations by combining different filters, the filters may be of the same type or different from each other, but the types are preferably different from each other. Typically, it is preferable that the first filter and the second filter differ in at least one of the pore size and constituent materials. It is preferable that the pore diameter after the second time is the same as that of the first filtration or smaller than that of the first filtration. Moreover, it is also possible to combine the 1st filter which differs in a pore diameter within the said range. The pore size can refer to the nominal value of the filter manufacturer. As a commercially available filter, it can select from various filters provided by NIHON PALL LTD., Advantec Toyo Kaisha, Ltd., Nihon Entegris K.K. (Formerly Nippon Mykrolis Corporation), KITZ MICROFILTER CORPORATION, etc., for example. In addition, "P-Nylon filter (pore size: 0.02μm, critical surface tension: 77mN / m)" made of polyamide; (manufactured by NIHON PALL LTD.), "PE Clean filter (pore size: 0.02μm)”; (manufactured by NIHON PALL LTD.) and “PE・clean filter (pore size: 0.01μm)” made of high-density polyethylene; (manufactured by NIHON PALL LTD.).
[0127] As the second filter, a filter made of the same material as the above-mentioned first filter can be used. A filter having the same pore diameter as the above-mentioned first filter can be used. When using the pore size of the second filter smaller than that of the first filter, the ratio of the pore size of the second filter to the pore size of the first filter (pore size of the second filter / pore size of the first filter) is 0.01~ 0.99 is preferable, 0.1-0.9 is more preferable, 0.3-0.9 is still more preferable. By setting the pore size of the second filter within the above-mentioned range, it is possible to more reliably remove fine foreign matter mixed into the composition.
[0128] For example, after filtering a liquid mixture containing a part of the composition with the first filter and mixing the remaining components therein to prepare the composition, it is also possible to perform filtration with the second filter. Also, it is preferable that the filter used is treated before filtering the composition. The liquid used in this treatment is not particularly limited, but a liquid containing components contained in a composition, a concentrate, and a composition is preferable.

Moreover, the lower limit of the temperature during filtration is preferably 0°C or higher, more preferably 5°C or higher, and still more preferably 10°C or higher. Filtration can remove particulate foreign matter and / or impurities, but if it is carried out at the above temperature, the amount of particulate foreign matter and / or impurities dissolved in the composition will be reduced, so filtering is more effective.
[0130] <Destaticization step> The above-mentioned manufacturing method may further include a destaticization step of destaticizing at least one selected from the group consisting of a composition, a concentrate, and a kit.

As the above-mentioned container, when used for semiconductor applications, the cleanliness inside the container is high and the elution of impurities is small. As a commercial item of the said container, the "Clean-Bottle" series by AICELLO CHEMICAL CO., LTD. and "Pure bottle" by KODAMA PLASTICS Co., Ltd. are mentioned, for example. In addition, for the purpose of preventing impurities from mixing (contaminating) raw materials and liquid medicines, a 6-layer structure of the container inner wall consisting of 6 types of resins, that is, a multi-layer container, and a 7-layer structure of the container inner wall consisting of 6 types of resins, that is, a multi-layer container, are used.

It is preferable to form or coat with metals such as Monel alloy.
[0133] As the above-mentioned different resins, fluorine-based resins (perfluororesins) can be preferably used. Thus, compared with the case of using a container whose inner wall is formed or coated with polyethylene resin, polypropylene resin, or polyethylene-polypropylene resin, by using a container whose inner wall is formed of a fluorine-based resin or coated with a fluororesin , it is possible to suppress the generation of disadvantages such as elution of oligomers of ethylene or propylene. As a specific example of a container having such an inner wall, for example, a FluoroPure PFA composite column manufactured by Entegris, Inc., etc. are mentioned. In addition, it is also possible to use the 4th page of JP-A-3-502677, the 3rd page of the International Publication No. 2004 / 016526 pamphlet, and the 9th and 16th pages of the International Publication No. 99 / 46309 pamphlet.

The total content of chromium and nickel in the metal material is preferably 25% by mass or more, more preferably 30% by mass or more, based on the total mass of the metal material. In addition, the upper limit of the total content of chromium and nickel in the metal material is not particularly limited, but usually it is preferably 90% by mass or less.
[0135] The stainless steel is not particularly limited, and known stainless steels can be used. Among them, an alloy containing 8% by mass or more of nickel is preferable, and an austenitic stainless steel containing 8% by mass or more of nickel is more preferable. Examples of austenitic stainless steel include SUS (Steel Use Stainless) 304 (Ni content: 8% by mass, Cr content: 18% by mass), SUS304L (Ni content: 9% by mass, Cr content: 18% by mass), SUS316 (Ni content: 10% by mass, Cr content: 16% by mass), SUS316L (Ni content: 12% by mass, Cr content: 16% by mass), and the like.
[0136] The nickel-chromium alloy is not particularly limited, and known nickel-chromium alloys can be used. Among them, a nickel-chromium alloy having a nickel content of 40 to 75% by mass and a chromium content of 1 to 30% by mass is preferable. Examples of nickel-chromium alloys include Hoechst alloy (the same product name is hereinafter), Monel alloy (the same product name is hereinafter), Inconel alloy (the same product name is hereinafter), and the like.

In addition, the nickel-chromium alloy may contain boron, silicon, tungsten, molybdenum, copper, cobalt, etc. in addition to the above-mentioned alloys as needed.
[0137] The method of electropolishing the metal material is not particularly limited, and known methods can be used. For example, the methods described in paragraphs
[0011] -
[0014] of JP-A-2015-227501 and paragraphs
[0036] -
[0042] of JP-A-2008-264929 can be used.
[0138] It is speculated that by performing electrolytic polishing on the metal material, the content of chromium in the passivation layer on the surface becomes larger than the content of chromium in the parent phase. Therefore, it is difficult to bleed out metal elements into the composition from the inner wall coated with the electropolished metal material, so it is presumed that a composition with a reduced specific metal element can be obtained. Furthermore, it is preferable that the metal material is polished. The polishing method is not particularly limited, and known methods can be used. The size of the abrasive grains used for fine polishing is not particularly limited, but #400 or less is preferable from the viewpoint that the unevenness on the surface of the metal material can be easily reduced. Furthermore, polishing is preferably performed before electrolytic polishing. In addition, metal materials can also be processed by combining one or two or more stages of polishing, acid cleaning, and magnetic fluid polishing performed by changing the size of abrasive grains.

The liquid used for cleaning may be appropriately selected depending on the application, but a liquid containing at least one of the above-mentioned composition, a liquid diluted from the above-mentioned composition, or a component added to the above-mentioned composition is preferable.
[0140] In order to prevent changes in the composition of the composition during storage, the inside of the container may be replaced with an inert gas (nitrogen, argon, etc.) with a purity of 99.99995% by volume or higher. In particular, gas with a low water content is preferable. Also, the liquid container may be transported and stored at room temperature, but the temperature may be controlled within a range of -20°C to 20°C in order to prevent deterioration.

In addition, after the metal layer is formed on the substrate, the substrate may be used as an object to be processed in this processing method after being subjected to a different step or treatment. For example, a substrate having a metal layer can also be subjected to dry etching to manufacture a substrate having dry etching residues containing metal. Dry etching residues are by-products produced by performing dry etching such as plasma etching, and examples include organic residues from photoresists, Si-containing residues from interlayer insulating films, and metal-containing residues. residue.

Furthermore, in this laminated body 10 , dry etching residue 12 adheres to the inside of hole 6 . In addition, after the dry etching step, the laminate subjected to the dry ashing step may also be used as an object to be cleaned.
[0158] The method of contacting the composition with the object to be cleaned is not particularly limited, for example, the method of immersing the object to be cleaned in the composition placed in a container such as a tank, and spraying the composition on the object to be cleaned The method, the method of flowing the composition on the object to be cleaned, and any combination thereof. From the viewpoint of residue removability, the method of immersing the object to be cleaned in the composition is preferable.
[0159] The temperature of the composition is preferably below 90°C, more preferably 25-80°C, further preferably 30-75°C, and particularly preferably 40-65°C.
[0160] The cleaning time can be adjusted according to the cleaning method used and the temperature of the composition. In the case of cleaning by batch immersion method (batch method in which multiple pieces of objects to be cleaned are dipped in a treatment tank for treatment), the cleaning time is, for example, within 90 minutes, preferably 10 to 90 minutes, and 5 to 60 minutes More preferably, 10 to 45 minutes is still more preferable.

[0162] In addition, in order to further enhance the cleaning ability of the composition, a mechanical stirring method can also be used. Examples of mechanical agitation methods include a method of circulating the composition on the object to be cleaned, a method of flowing or spraying the composition on the object to be cleaned, and a method of agitating the composition with ultrasonic or megafrequency. [Rinsing step B2] The substrate cleaning method of the present invention may further include a step of washing the object to be cleaned with a solvent after the cleaning step B (hereinafter referred to as "rinsing step B2"). Rinsing step B2 and cleaning step B are carried out continuously, and the step of rinsing with a rinsing solvent (rinsing solution) for 5 seconds to 5 minutes is preferred. The rinsing step B2 can also be carried out using the above-mentioned mechanical agitation method.
[0164] As the rinse solvent, for example, deionized water (DIW), methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, N-methylpyrrolidone, γ-butyrolactone, dimethylsulfoxide, ethyl lactate, and propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate. As a solvent for the rinse solution, DIW, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol or a mixture thereof is preferred, and DIW, isopropanol or a mixture of DIW and isopropanol is more preferred.
[0165] As the method of bringing the rinse solvent into contact with the object to be cleaned, the method of bringing the above-mentioned composition into contact with the object to be cleaned can also be applied in the same manner. The temperature of the rinsing solvent in the rinsing step B2 is preferably 10-40°C.
[0166] [Drying Step B3] The substrate cleaning method of the present invention may include a drying step B3 of drying the object to be cleaned after the rinsing step B2. The drying method is not particularly limited. As the drying method, for example, spin drying method, method of flowing dry gas over the object to be cleaned, method of heating the substrate by a heating mechanism such as a heating plate or an infrared lamp, Marangoni drying method, Nuo Tagani drying, IPA (isopropanol) drying, and any combination of these.

Examples of resins include high-density polyethylene (HDPE), high-density polypropylene (PP), 6,6-nylon, tetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), copolymers of tetrafluoroethylene and perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether ( PFA), polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE), ethylene-chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer (ECTFE), ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (ETFE) and tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer (FEP) . Examples of the conductive material include stainless steel, gold, platinum, diamond, and glassy carbon.
[0169] The cleaning method of the substrate comprises: a composition manufacturing step A, a cleaning step B, a drainage recovery step C of recovering the drainage of the composition used in the cleaning step B, and a drainage cleaning step using the recovered composition.

In addition, it is preferable to have the above-mentioned coarse particle removal step H and static electricity removal steps I and J in the aspect of reusing the above-mentioned discharged liquid.
[0171] The aspect of the cleaning step D in which the substrate is cleaned using the drain of the recovered composition is described as the cleaning step B. The drainage recovery mechanism in the drainage recovery steps C and E is not particularly limited. It is preferable to store the recovered effluent in the above-mentioned container in the above-mentioned de-static step J, and the same de-static step as the de-static step J can also be performed at this time. In addition, a step of removing impurities by filtering the recovered effluent may also be provided. [Example]

[0181] [Evaluation] [Residue Removability] A laminate was prepared in which a SiO2 film with a thickness of 100 nm, a metal hard mask (TiN) and a photoresist film were sequentially laminated on a substrate (Si). This laminate was subjected to patterning by lithography, dry etching using a plasma etching device for metal, and removal of the photoresist film by oxygen plasma ashing to fabricate a metal hard mask. A laminate for evaluation tests with a predetermined opening. Using the obtained laminate, plasma etching was performed using a metal hard mask as a mask with a gas containing fluorine, and the SiO2 film was etched by about 50 nm, thereby manufacturing a grid-like pattern with a square of 2 cm. Test piece for evaluation test. When the etched bottom surface was analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS: X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy), fluorine presumably derived from dry etching residue was detected. It is presumed that the dry etching residue formed by plasma etching using the gas containing fluorine mentioned above is an organic / inorganic mixed residue having Si and O derived from SiO2 and C and F derived from the etching gas.
[0182] Next, the residue removability of each composition was evaluated in the following order. A 500-mL glass beaker was filled with 200 mL of the composition. Stirring was performed using a stir bar and the temperature of the composition was raised to 40°C. Next, while stirring, the test piece prepared above was immersed in a composition having a liquid temperature of 40° C. for 2 minutes, thereby cleaning the test piece. While immersing the test piece in the composition, the test piece was held with 4-inch-long plastic locking tweezers so that the surface of the side from which the residue of the test piece was removed faced the stirring bar.
[0183] Immediately after the cleaning time, the test piece was taken out from the composition, filled in a plastic beaker with a capacity of 500mL, and placed in 400mL of DI water (water temperature 20°C) that was stirred stably. While immersing the test piece in DI water, the test piece was held with 4-inch-long plastic locking tweezers so that the surface of the side from which the residue of the test piece was removed faced the stirring bar. Immediately after immersing the test piece in DI water for 30 seconds, the test piece was taken out and rinsed under 20° C. DI water flow for 30 seconds. During rinsing of the test piece under the DI water flow, the test piece was held using 4-inch length plastic locking tweezers with the surface of the side from which the residue of the test piece was removed facing the DI water flow. Next, the surface of the test piece was dried by exposing the test piece to a nitrogen stream to blow off the liquid droplets adhering to the surface of the test piece. After this nitrogen gas drying step, the test piece was removed from the holding portion of the plastic tweezers, and the test piece was placed in a plastic storage box with a lid with the device side up, and stored.
[0184] The composition analysis of the surface of the obtained test piece was carried out by XPS. The surface of the test piece was measured using an XPS device (manufactured by Ulvac-PHI, product name QuanteraSXM), and the residue removability was evaluated from the measurement results of the fluorine atom content (atomic %) of the dry etching residue on the surface of the test piece. (removability of dry etching residue). It can be said that when the atomic weight of fluorine on the surface of the test piece is small, the residue removability is excellent, and when the atomic weight of fluorine is large, the residue removability is poor.
[0185] (Residue Removability Evaluation Criteria) A: The content of fluorine atoms on the surface of the test piece is less than 1 atomic % B: The content of fluorine atoms on the surface of the test piece is 1 atomic % or more and less than 1.5 atomic % C: The content of fluorine atoms on the surface of the test piece is 1.5 atomic % or more and less than 2.5 atomic % D: The content of fluorine atoms on the surface of the test piece is 2.5 atomic % or more
[0186] [Corrosion Resistance] A substrate in which a cobalt-containing film (Co film) was formed on one surface of a commercially available silicon wafer (diameter: 12 inches) by a CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) method was prepared. The thickness of the formed Co film was 30 nm. The etching process of the obtained Co film was performed using each composition of an Example and a comparative example. Specifically, after immersing the Co film in the compositions of Examples and Comparative Examples for 10 minutes, rinsing treatment by immersing in pure water for 15 seconds was performed twice, and then, the substrate was dried with nitrogen gas. The etching rate (Å / min) was calculated from the film thickness difference of the Co film before and after immersion in the composition. The corrosion resistance of the composition was evaluated by measuring the etching rate of each film. It can be said that when the etching rate is low, the corrosion resistance is excellent, and when the etching rate is high, the corrosion resistance is poor.
[0187] In the same manner as above, prepare substrates having a film containing W (W film), a film containing TiN (TiN film), a film containing AlOx (AlOx film), and a film containing Mo (Mo film). , each substrate was immersed in each composition, and the etching rate (Å / min) of each film was measured. Furthermore, the W film, the TiN film, and the AlOx film are formed by a CVD method, and the Mo film is formed by a PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition, physical vapor deposition) method.
[0188] Furthermore, the thickness of each film formed on the substrate was measured by the following method. The thicknesses of the Co film, the W film, and the TiN film were measured by a fluorescent X-ray analysis device (“AZX400” manufactured by Rigaku Corporation) by a fluorescent X-ray analysis method (XRF: X-ray Fluorescence method). The thickness of the AlOx film was measured using ellipsometry (Spectroscopic ellipsometer, product name "Vase", manufactured by J.A. Woollam Japan Co., Inc.) under the conditions of a measurement range of 250-1000 nm and a measurement angle of 70 degrees and 75 degrees. Measurement. The thickness of the Mo film was measured by a 4-terminal method using a specific resistance measuring device (“VR300DE” manufactured by Kokusai Electric Semiconductor Service Inc.). Table 1 summarizes the respective measurement results.
[0189] [Defect suppression] The number of particles with a diameter of 19 nm or more existing on the surface of a silicon substrate (wafer) with a diameter of 300 mm and The address of each particle. Then, the above-mentioned wafer whose number of particles existing on the surface of the silicon substrate was measured was set on a rotary wafer processing apparatus (manufactured by Ekc Technologies, Inc.). Next, the respective compositions of Examples and Comparative Examples adjusted to 40° C. were discharged to the surface of the installed wafer at a flow rate of 1.5 L / min for 1 minute. Thereafter, water was discharged onto the surface of the wafer at a flow rate of 1 L / min for 1 minute to perform spin drying of the wafer. With regard to the obtained dried wafer, the number and address of particles with a diameter of 19 nm or more on the wafer were measured using a wafer surface inspection device, and the number of particles with a diameter of 19 nm or more increased before and after cleaning using each composition was measured. Table 1 shows the measurement results of the increased number of particles having a diameter of 19 nm or more.
