Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the cross field of metal oxide etching and semiconductor storage technology, and specifically relates to a hafnium dioxide etching solution and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) is a volatile, capacitor-based, destructive read form of memory. For a long time, DRAM memory cells were made of a single transistor and a single capacitor, the so-called 1T1C design. When writing to this memory cell, the transistor is turned on and charge is pushed into the capacitor (1) or removed from the capacitor (0); when reading, the charge is extracted and measured. This traditional system is super fast, cheap, and consumes very little power, but its challenge is how to meet the growing demand for high capacity, high performance, large bandwidth, low latency, and small memory cell size without increasing power consumption. The emergence of HBM is a breakthrough in DRAM's transition from 2D architecture to 3D architecture. It is a non-planar type with a 3D shape in the form of a cube / rectangle. The memory chips are stacked to form a cubic structure, which takes up less space, consumes less power, and has higher bandwidth. In the research process of 3D DRAM memory cells, various high-K materials have been used, such as Al2O3, HfO2, Ta2O5, etc., and good results have been achieved. By adjusting the equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) to control the threshold voltage (Vt), the data retention performance under short gate length is further optimized.

[0003] However, there is no dedicated selective etching solution for the HfO2 / IGZO structure. Therefore, a HfO2 and IGZO selective etching solution is developed to etch a specific HfO2 / IGZO structure, further promoting the development of 3D DRAM technology. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention is an invention for improving the above-mentioned problem, and its purpose is to provide a hafnium dioxide etching solution, wherein the etching solution comprises 78-94% of diol, 5-20% of alcohol ether, 0.5-1.5% of hydrofluoric acid, and 0.05-0.15% of inhibitor, accounting for 78-94% of the total weight of the etching solution.

[0005] Furthermore, the present invention relates to the above-mentioned diol being one or more of ethylene glycol, 1,2-propylene glycol, 1,3-propylene glycol, 1,4-butylene glycol, and 1,5-pentanediol.

[0006] Furthermore, the present invention relates to the above-mentioned alcohol ether is one or more of ethylene glycol methyl ether, ethylene glycol ethyl ether, ethylene glycol propyl ether, ethylene glycol isopropyl ether, ethylene glycol butyl ether, propylene glycol methyl ether, propylene glycol ethyl ether, propylene glycol propyl ether, and propylene glycol butyl ether.

[0007] Furthermore, the present invention relates to the above-mentioned hydrofluoric acid is electronic grade hydrofluoric acid with a content of 49%.

[0008] Furthermore, the present invention relates to the above-mentioned inhibitor being one of 5-isopropyl-o-cresol, 3-phenylphenol, 3-benzylphenol and 3-diethylaminophenol.

[0009] Furthermore, the present invention relates to the etching solution wherein the water content in the etching solution accounts for less than 1% of the total weight of the etching solution.

[0010] Furthermore, the invention relates to the etching solution having a pH value less than 7.

[0011] The present invention also provides a method for preparing a hafnium dioxide etching solution, comprising the following steps: S1. Weigh the diol, alcohol ether, hydrofluoric acid and inhibitor respectively according to the ratio described in claim 1; S2. Add the weighed diol, alcohol ether and inhibitor one by one in order, stirring for 5-10 minutes each time a component is added; S3. Slowly add the weighed hydrofluoric acid to the mixed solution prepared in S2 while stirring.

[0012] Furthermore, the present invention relates to the above-mentioned preparation method, wherein the stirring rate in steps S2 and S3 is 100-300 r / min.

[0013] Furthermore, the present invention relates to the above-mentioned preparation method, wherein the hydrofluoric acid dropping rate in step S3 is one drop per 5-10 seconds.

[0014] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: The etching solution of the present invention is an organic weak acid solution, wherein the low-carbon alcohol ether can not only reduce the surface tension of the solution and improve the wettability, but also make the hydrofluoric acid better dispersed in the mixed organic matter. In addition, the preparation method of slowly dripping the hydrofluoric acid and stirring while dripping is combined with the low-carbon alcohol ether, and the hydrofluoric acid in the prepared etching solution is evenly dispersed and has good uniform etching ability. Most of the etching solution is composed of organic diols to replace water, which can reduce and maintain the water content in the etching solution to control F - Finally, the phenolic hydroxyl oxygen atom of the phenolic substance forms a delocalized bond with the benzene ring, which, combined with the oxygen atom ether bond of the alcohol ether, can selectively reduce the etching rate of hydrofluoric acid on IGZO, thereby improving the etching solution selectivity for HfO2 and IGZO.
