That is, when the metal concentration in the etching solution is between 0 ppm and 500 ppm, etching performance and stability can be maintained, thereby increasing the cumulative number of wafers processed.

[0080] In one embodiment of the present invention, an etching method for a metal film is provided, the method comprising the step of etching a metal film (or metal wiring film) formed on a substrate using an etching solution prepared from the above-described etching solution composition.

[0081] In one embodiment, the substrate can be a glass substrate with silicon dioxide (SiO2) as the main component or a substrate made of transparent plastic. Specifically, the substrate made of plastic can be polyethersulfone (PES), polyacrylate, polyetherimide, polyethylene naphthalate, polyethylene terephthalate, polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polyarylate, polyimide, polycarbonate, cellulose triacetate, cellulose acetate propionate (CAP), etc. However, the technical concept of the present invention is not limited to this, and can also be applied to various substrates in the fields of displays and semiconductors.

[0082] In one embodiment, the metal film may be a single-layer metal film containing copper, or a multilayer film with two or more layers (multiple films).

Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the essential characteristics of the invention.

The scope of protection of this invention should be interpreted by the claims, and all technical concepts falling within the equivalent scope should be considered to fall within the scope of the claims of this invention.

[0090] Example

[0091] [Preparation Examples and Comparative Preparation Examples] Preparation of Etching Solution Compositions

[0092] The etching solution composition was prepared according to the composition shown in Tables 1 and 2 below, and the balance water was added so that the total weight of the etching solution composition was 100% by weight.

[0093] Except for Preparation Examples 5 to 16 in Table 1 below, all others used L-pyroglutamic acid as an amino acid derivative.

[0094] Table 1

[0095]

[0096]

[0097]

[0098] Table 2

[0099]

[0100] [Experimental Example]

[0101] Metal concentration in the etching solution used to confirm the cumulative number of wafers processed.

[0102] Etching solutions with concentrations shown in Tables 3 and 4 were prepared by adding titanium powder to the etching solution compositions obtained in Tables 1 and 2. (Examples 1 to 83 and Comparative Examples 1 to 10)

[0103] Using etching solutions with concentrations shown in Tables 3 and 4, the substrate (2x2cm) with deposited Ti was etched. 2 The Ti film was etched, and the time required for etching was measured. The etching time of the Ti film was based on the etch endpoint detection (EPD) of the Ti film as detected by the naked eye.

[0104] The criteria for determining the cumulative number of processed wafers are as follows: if the difference between the etching time measured using a contaminated etching solution and the time measured using a clean etching solution without added titanium powder is greater than 1 second, the etching performance is considered unsustainable, and the maximum metal concentration value at which the etching performance can be maintained is recorded. The higher the contamination level (i.e., metal concentration) of the etching solution at which the etching performance can be maintained, the greater the cumulative number of processed wafers is determined.

[0105] Etching rate measurement (E / R)

[0106] Using etching solutions with concentrations shown in Tables 3 and 4 (Examples 1 to 83 and Comparative Examples 1 to 10), etching was performed on a Ti-deposited substrate (2x2cm). 2 Etching was performed, and the time required for the Ti film to be etched was measured. The etching time of the Ti film was based on the etch endpoint detection (EPD) of the Ti film as observed visually. The etching rate (E / R) was calculated by dividing the thickness of the etched Ti film by the etch time (EPD), and the results are shown in Tables 3 and 4.

[0107] Undercut Measurement

[0108] The Cu / Ti film was etched using etching solutions with the concentrations shown in Tables 3 and 4. After etching, the substrate was cleaned and dried, and then the etched cross-section was observed using FIB-SEM (Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscopy) (the cut surface was observed after cutting the substrate cross-section). The results are shown in Tables 3 and 4 below.

[0109] As a standard for undercut measurement, the indentation length from the copper film to the titanium film in the bilayer film (Cu / Ti film) under the copper electroplating layer is measured. If the average value of the undercut on both sides is less than 150nm, it is marked as "X"; if it is greater than 150nm, it is marked as "○".

[0110] Cu damage

[0111] The Cu / Ti film was etched using etchant solutions with concentrations shown in Tables 3 and 4 below, and the results are shown in Tables 3 and 4 below.

[0112] Cu damage is calculated based on the substrate thickness (thickness before etching - thickness after etching / etching time). The evaluation criteria based on the above measurement method are as follows: when Cu damage is greater than or equal to 1 nm / min but less than 5 nm / min, it is marked with ◎; when Cu damage is greater than or equal to 5 nm / min but less than 10 nm / min, it is marked with ○; when Cu damage is greater than or equal to 10 nm / min but less than 15 nm / min, it is marked with △; and when Cu damage is greater than or equal to 15 nm / min, it is marked with X.

[0118] As can be seen from Examples 1 to 16, when L-pyroglutamic acid, which is a pyrrolidone derivative, is used in amino acid derivatives, the etching rate can still be maintained at ±70 nm / min even if the etch solution contamination increases, and the undercut of the lower film and Cu damage to the upper film can be reduced, thus confirming its excellent etching profile.

[0119] As can be seen from Examples 17 to 34, when the content of amino acid derivative is 0.001% to 1% by weight, the etching rate can be maintained at 70 nm / min, and the undercut of the lower film and Cu damage to the upper film can be reduced, thus confirming its excellent etching profile.

[0120] Referring to Examples 35 to 45 and Comparative Examples 1 to 8, it can be seen that when the hydrogen peroxide content is 0.001% to 4% by weight, especially below 1% by weight, the undercut of the lower film and the Cu damage of the upper film can be significantly reduced.

[0121] As can be seen from Examples 46 to 60, when the weight ratio of hydrogen peroxide and fluorine-containing compounds is controlled within a specific range, the etching rate can be maintained at ±70 nm / min, and the undercut of the lower film and the Cu damage of the upper film are low.

[0122] As can be seen from Examples 61 to 70, when the weight ratio of hydrogen peroxide to nitrogen-containing cyclic compound is 1:0.1 to 1:1.5, the etching rate can be maintained at 60 to 70 nm / min, and the undercut of the lower film can be reduced.

[0123] Referring to Examples 71 to 83 and Comparative Examples 9 to 10, it can be seen that when the weight ratio of the fluorinated compound to the nitrogen-containing cyclic compound is 1:0.01 to 1:3, the undercut of the lower membrane can be reduced.

[0124] Although the present invention has been described with reference to embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed in this specification. Various modifications and variations can be made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the inventive concept, and all such modifications and variations should be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention. Furthermore, even if the technical effects of the configuration according to the present invention are not explicitly stated in the description of the embodiments, the technical effects reasonably foreseeable from such configuration should also be recognized as effects included in the present invention.
