AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing copper-based metal film etching solutions suffer from problems such as poor etching uniformity, poor pattern straightness, unacceptable taper, increased critical dimension loss, and residue formation when processing increased sheet counts or large areas, making it difficult to meet the high resolution and low resistance metal wiring requirements of TFT-LCD displays.

Method used

An etching solution composition containing hydrogen peroxide, tertiary amine compounds, and N-heterocyclic fused ring compounds is used to achieve highly selective etching of copper-based metal films by satisfying specific composition ratios of Formula 1 and Formula 2, thereby suppressing over-etching and damage to the underlying film and maintaining the stability of etching characteristics and control of the cone angle.

Benefits of technology

It achieves highly selective etching of copper-based metal films, ensuring that the straightness of the pattern and the cone angle meet the requirements, reducing critical size loss, suppressing the generation of residues and precipitates, improving the reliability and electrical characteristics of metal wiring, and is suitable for large-area processing.
