[0015] Compared with prior art, the present invention provides a photoresist stripping solution capable of protecting GaAs and PI substrates and its application.

[0016] The photoresist stripping solution provided by this invention comprises cyclic organic amines, alcohol ether organic solvents, diols, and azole corrosion inhibitors; the chemical formula of the cyclic organic amine is shown in formula (I), in which R1 and R2 are each independently -H, -CH3, -NH2, -C6H5, -CH3C6H5, -CH3CH2OH, or -CH3CH2NH2, and R3 is -H or -CH3; the diol is an aliphatic diol containing 2 to 6 carbon atoms; the photoresist stripping solution does not contain any of the following: water, aprotic polar solvents, oxidants, halogen compounds, hydroxylamines, quaternary ammonium bases, and inorganic bases. The photoresist stripping solution provided by this invention has excellent photoresist dissolving ability, is water-free and non-protic polar solvent-free, uses cyclic amines and selects a corrosion inhibitor composed of diols and azoles, and achieves the effect of protecting PI and not corroding GaAs and metal substrates such as Cu, Al, and Ti by adjusting the content of the two corrosion inhibitors.

[0017] More specifically: (1) The photoresist stripping solution provided by the present invention is an organic system and does not contain water, N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, cyclobutane, acetone, hexamethylphosphonic triamine, acetonitrile, DMI and other non-proton polar solvents, thereby avoiding damage to the substrate material by non-proton polar solvents. (2) This invention introduces cyclic amines. On the one hand, compared with other organic amines, cyclic amines can provide better protection for the substrate. On the other hand, cyclic amines can break down long-chain photoresists, and the broken long-chain photoresists can be further dissolved by diols and alcohol ethers. The synergistic effect of cyclic amines, alcohol ethers and diols ensures the complete removal of photoresists. (3) While using cyclic amines, this invention selects a corrosion inhibitor composed of diols and azoles. By adjusting their content, the content of diols is greatly increased and the amount of azoles is reduced, so as to achieve the effect of protecting PI while preventing corrosion of GaAs and metal substrates. On the one hand, the 30-40 wt% content of diols can act as both a corrosion inhibitor and a solvent, enhancing the protection of the substrate and the photoresist dissolution ability, and providing a suitable viscosity for the photoresist stripping solution to facilitate subsequent cleaning. On the other hand, the reduced amount of azoles in the compounded corrosion inhibitor can avoid cleaning residues caused by excessive azoles adsorbing on the wafer surface. The synergistic effect of cyclic amines, diols and azoles improves the resist removal effect while avoiding corrosion of PI, GaAs and metal substrates such as Cu, Al, and Ti. (4) In the stripping solution provided by the present invention, cyclic amines, alcohol ethers, diols and azoles work together to effectively remove photoresist from semiconductor wafers without corroding PI, GaAs and metal substrates such as Cu, Al, Ti, etc., maintaining the wafer's expected yield and enabling subsequent processes to proceed normally.

On the other hand, the reduced amount of azoles in the compounded corrosion inhibitor can avoid cleaning residues caused by excessive azoles adsorbing on the wafer surface. The synergistic effect of cyclic amines, diols and azoles improves the resist removal effect while avoiding corrosion of PI, GaAs and metal substrates such as Cu, Al, and Ti. (4) In the stripping solution provided by the present invention, cyclic amines, alcohol ethers, diols and azoles work together to effectively remove photoresist from semiconductor wafers without corroding PI, GaAs and metal substrates such as Cu, Al, Ti, etc., maintaining the wafer's expected yield and enabling subsequent processes to proceed normally.

[0045] According to the mass ratio in Table 2, organic amine, alcohol ether organic solvent, corrosion inhibitor A and corrosion inhibitor B were added sequentially and stirred to dissolve.

[0047] A beaker immersion experiment was conducted. Equal amounts of photoresist stripping solution were placed in beakers and then placed in an oil bath. After the temperature reached 80°C, the test pieces (GaAs substrate and PI substrate) were placed in the beakers and immersed for 20 minutes. After removal, the pieces were first cleaned with IPA, then with deionized water, and finally dried with high-purity nitrogen. After drying, the surface of the GaAs substrate was observed using an optical microscope (OM) to check for residual photoresist. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to determine whether the GaAs layer in the trench of the GaAs substrate was corroded. The thickness of the PI film was measured using a focused ion beam (FIB) to determine whether the PI substrate was corroded. The OM (Optical Microscope) image of the cleaning effect, the SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) image of the GaAs substrate corrosion, and the FIB (Focused Ion Beam) film thickness image of the PI layer are shown in Figures 1-22. The OM image of the test piece without beaker immersion experiment, the SEM image of the GaAs substrate corrosion, and the FIB film thickness image of the PI layer are shown in Figure 23. In each figure, A is the OM image, B is the SEM image of the GaAs substrate corrosion, and C is the FIB (Focused Ion Beam) film thickness image of the PI layer. The PI film thickness data are shown in Tables 3-4. Since the film thickness at each location of the test piece is not completely consistent, the PI layer thickness after cleaning is within the normal range of 2.5-2.7 μm, and the thickness is below 2 μm, which indicates corrosion. (2) Etching rate test:

[0048] A beaker immersion experiment was conducted. First, the thickness of the Al, Cu, Ti, and GaAs test pieces provided by the customer was measured. Then, equal amounts of photoresist stripping solution were placed in beakers and immersed in an oil bath. After the temperature reached 85℃, the Al, Ti, Cu, and GaAs test pieces were immersed in the beakers for 6 hours. After removal, they were first cleaned with IPA, then with deionized water, and finally dried with high-purity nitrogen. The thickness was measured again. The etching rate was calculated as the ratio of the thickness difference before and after immersion to the time (the thickness was measured using a four-point probe machine; the thickness unit is Å, and the etching rate unit is Å / min). The test results are shown in Tables 3-4.

[0051] In Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, the same amount of monohydric alcohol and dihydric alcohol were added respectively. As shown in Table 3, Figure 1 and Figure 13, compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 1 showed a much higher corrosion rate on metals Cu, Al, Ti and GaAs, and the PI film thickness was less than 2 μm. This indicates that the scheme of Comparative Example 1 would corrode GaAs substrate and various metal substrates and could not be compatible with the PI protective layer, indicating that the protective effect of monohydric alcohol is not as good as that of dihydric alcohol.

[0052] In Example 2 and Comparative Example 2, the same amount of diol and triol were added respectively. As can be seen from Table 3, Figure 2 and Figure 14, compared with Example 2, the adhesive removal of Comparative Example 2 was not as complete. The reason for this is that the viscosity of the triol is too high, which will cause the adhesive to stick back.

[0053] In Examples 3 and 4 and Comparative Examples 3 and 4, the same amounts of piperazine and morpholine were added, respectively. As shown in Table 3, Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 15, and Figure 16, compared with Examples 3 and 4, Comparative Examples 3 and 4 showed much higher corrosion rates on metals Cu, Al, Ti, and GaAs, and the PI film thickness was less than 2 μm. This indicates that the schemes of Comparative Examples 3 and 4 would corrode GaAs substrates and various metal substrates. The incompatibility of the PI protective layer indicates that the protective properties of different types of morpholine are weaker than those of piperazine.

[0054] In Example 5 and Comparative Example 5, the same low amounts of morpholine and piperazine were added. As shown in Table 3, Figure 5, and Figure 17, compared with Example 5, Comparative Example 5 not only had incomplete degumming but also exhibited a high corrosion rate on metals Cu, Al, Ti, and GaAs. At the same time, the PI film thickness was less than 2 μm, indicating that the photoresist dissolution ability of the scheme in Comparative Example 5 was not ideal, and it would corrode the GaAs substrate and various metal substrates, and was incompatible with the PI protective layer. This shows that the protective and degumming properties of low-content piperazine are superior to those of morpholine.

[0055] In Example 6 and Comparative Example 6, the same amount of cyclic amines and linear amines were added. As shown in Table 3, Figure 6, and Figure 18, compared with Example 6, Comparative Example 6 showed a much higher corrosion rate on metals Cu, Al, Ti, and GaAs. At the same time, the PI film thickness was less than 2 μm, indicating that the scheme of Comparative Example 6 would corrode GaAs substrates and various metal substrates and could not be compatible with the PI protective layer. This shows that the protective effect of linear amines on the substrate is not as good as that of cyclic amines.

[0056] In Example 7 and Comparative Example 7, different amounts of alcohol were added. As can be seen from Table 3, Figure 7 and Figure 19, compared with Example 7, Comparative Example 7 showed the phenomenon of incomplete degumming. The reason for this is that when the amount of alcohol added exceeds a certain level, the phenomenon of re-adhesion will occur.

[0057] In Example 8 and Comparative Example 8, different amounts of alcohol were added. As shown in Table 3, Figure 8, and Figure 20, compared with Example 8, Comparative Example 8 showed incomplete removal of the adhesive, a high corrosion rate on metals Cu, Al, Ti, and GaAs, and a PI film thickness of <2μm. This indicates that the photoresist dissolution ability of the scheme in Comparative Example 8 is not ideal, and it will corrode the GaAs substrate and various metal substrates, and is incompatible with the PI protective layer. This shows that when the amount of diol added is lower than a certain level, its protective effect on the substrate is greatly weakened and its dissolution ability of the photoresist decreases.

[0058] In Examples 9 and 11 and 12, azoles with and without electronic precursor groups were added, respectively. As shown in Table 3, Figure 9, Figure 11 and Figure 12, the thickness of the substrate PI in Examples 11, 12 and 9 is all >2 μm, with little difference. However, the GaAs surface in Examples 11 and 12 is slightly rough, while the GaAs surface in Example 9 is very smooth, indicating that adding azoles with electronic precursor groups provides better protection for the substrate.

[0059] In Example 10 and Comparative Examples 9 and 10, azole-based corrosion inhibitors and non-azole-based corrosion inhibitors were added, respectively. As shown in Table 3, Figure 10, Figure 21, and Figure 22, compared with Example 10, Comparative Examples 9 and 10 showed severe substrate corrosion and high corrosion rates on metals Cu, Al, Ti, and GaAs. This indicates that the combination of azole and alcohol-based corrosion inhibitors is the most effective in this system.

[0060] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
