Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor device manufacturing process, and specifically relates to a wet etching method for chromium-nickel-gold special metal and a wafer obtained. Background Art

[0002] In the field of semiconductor manufacturing, metallization layers are key components for building interconnections between electronic devices. They are not only required to have excellent electrical conductivity, but also good mechanical and chemical stability to ensure that the performance and reliability of electronic equipment are not affected in complex and changing manufacturing environments and long-term service conditions. Au (gold), as a precious metal, occupies a pivotal position in the semiconductor industry due to its excellent corrosion resistance, high conductivity and relatively low melting point. Especially in high-end integrated circuits, Au is often used as a conductive material for bonding wires, contact pads and certain specific structures. Its good conductivity and chemical inertness are essential to ensure low-resistance connections and long-term reliability of circuits.

[0003] However, it is often difficult to form a satisfactory metal contact interface when Au is directly applied to Si (silicon)-based materials of semiconductor devices, which is mainly attributed to the poor adhesion and reactivity between Au and Si. In order to improve the bonding strength between the Au layer and the Si substrate, the industry generally adopts the method of depositing one or more layers of transition metals between Au and Si, among which Cr (chromium) and Ni (nickel) are the most commonly used transition metal materials due to their good adhesion and barrier properties. Cr can significantly improve the adhesion between the Au layer and the Si substrate, while Ni acts as a diffusion barrier layer to effectively prevent Au atoms from diffusing into Si, thereby protecting the Si substrate from potential metal contamination and performance degradation.

[0004] At present, when processing Cr / Ni / Au three-layer composite metal structures, it is often difficult to accurately control the corrosion rate and corrosion morphology, resulting in uneven corrosion of the Cr / Ni layer, which not only affects the adhesion of the Au layer, but also may cause defects such as circuit short circuit or open circuit due to corrosion residues, seriously affecting the performance and yield of semiconductor devices. In addition, inappropriate corrosion conditions may also trigger the formation of intermetallic compounds, further deteriorating the quality of the metal contact interface. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a wet etching method for chromium-nickel-gold special metal and a wafer obtained to solve the problem of poor corrosion morphology of the current Cr / Ni / Au three-layer composite metal.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: In a first aspect, a wet etching method for chromium-nickel-gold special metal comprises the following steps: S1: Cr / Ni / Au is evaporated on the front side of the wafer to obtain a wafer with a Cr / Ni / Au thin film; S2: performing metal Au photolithography, hardening, primer film and metal Au wet etching on the wafer with Cr / Ni / Au thin film in S1 in sequence to obtain a processed wafer; S3: The wafer processed in S2 is subjected to film hardening, metal Cr / Ni wet etching and dry stripping in sequence to obtain a wafer with a Cr / Ni / Au pattern.

The temperature of the chromium-nickel corrosion solution is 25°C~60°C, and the time of the metal Cr / Ni wet corrosion is 20sec~40sec.

[0014] In some embodiments, in S3, the dry stripping adopts plasma stripping, and the time of the dry stripping is 90 minutes to 120 minutes.

[0015] In a second aspect, a wafer having a Cr / Ni / Au pattern is obtained by using the wet etching method.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention provides a wet etching method for chromium-nickel-gold special metals, wherein Cr / Ni / Au is first evaporated on the front side of a wafer, and then the wafer with a Cr / Ni / Au thin film is subjected to metal Au photolithography, hardening, primer film and metal Au wet etching in sequence, and then hardening, metal Cr / Ni wet etching and dry degumming are performed in sequence to obtain a wafer with a Cr / Ni / Au pattern.
