Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of photoresists, and in particular relates to a photoresist stripping solution and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Photoresist is a photosensitive material, a mixed liquid composed of three parts: photosensitive resin, photosensitizer and solvent. After being exposed to light, the photosensitive resin can quickly undergo a photocuring reaction in the exposed area, causing significant changes in the material properties of this material, especially its solubility. After being treated with appropriate solvents and dissolving the soluble part, the photoresist can form the required pattern. Photoresist is mainly used in the field of microelectronics. For example, in semiconductor devices, liquid crystal devices and integrated circuits, a series of steps such as coating and exposure of photoresist on a substrate are required to obtain the corresponding pattern. Then, the pattern is transferred to a substrate without photoresist protection through etching, ion implantation or metal precipitation. Finally, the unnecessary photoresist part is removed by photoresist stripping liquid, completing the process of transferring the pattern to be etched from the mask to the substrate.
[0003] As the structure of semiconductor chip materials becomes more and more complex, the environment faced by the photoresist stripping solution used in its manufacturing process is also becoming more and more complex. It is necessary to remove the photoresist without generating residues. At present, conventional photoresist stripping solution compositions often leave tiny stains or foreign matter on the film when stripping and removing the residual photoresist pattern on the substrate. Such tiny stains or foreign matter become the main reason for reducing the input-output ratio of subsequent processes. Traditional photoresist stripping solutions usually use strong alkaline materials, which can cause corrosion to copper or aluminum wires and substrates. The main method currently used is to add metal protective agents, such as benzotriazole, methylbenzotriazole, etc. as metal protective agents in Chinese patent application document CN115047732A, but adding metal protective agents will lead to an increase in cost; and although the photoresist stripping solution with weak alkalinity has little corrosiveness to the substrate, its photoresist stripping effect is poor, there is residue, or the processing time is long and the efficiency is low. In view of this, it is urgent to find a photoresist stripping solution that takes into account good photoresist stripping effect and weak corrosiveness. Summary of the invention

[0083] Comparative Example 3
[0084] Preparation of reference photoresist stripping solution: 12.5 g of the first amine compound A1 and 87.5 g of butyl acetate were taken, mixed thoroughly, and filtered through a 0.1 μm filter element to obtain a reference photoresist stripping solution.
[0085] Photoresist stripping method: the photoresist stripping solution obtained in this comparative example is placed in a stripping tank, and then heated to 70°C, and the substrate to be treated (made of copper, with a photoresist layer attached to the copper sheet) is placed in the stripping solution in the stripping tank, kept at a constant temperature for 20 minutes, and the substrate is taken out, and then immersed in isopropanol for 1 minute. After taking it out, the substrate is rinsed with a large amount of deionized water, and finally observed under a microscope: most of the photoresist pattern is removed, but a small amount of photoresist thin layer remains on the copper surface.
[0086] Test Case
[0087] For Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3, in order to test the corrosiveness of the stripping solution to the metal substrate, samples of the stripping solution before and after the substrate was treated were taken and the Cu content in the samples was tested by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0088] Table 1
[0089]
[0090] It can be seen from the results in Table 1 that, compared with Comparative Examples 1 to 3, after photoresist stripping using the photoresist stripping solutions provided in Examples 1 to 5, almost no photoresist residue is left on the substrate, and the Cu content in the stripping solution after treating the substrate does not change much compared with the Cu content in the stripping solution before treating the substrate, indicating that the photoresist stripping solution has low corrosiveness to the substrate. At the same time, the photoresist stripping solution is used for a shorter treatment time at the same treatment temperature and has higher efficiency.
