Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of etching solutions, and particularly relates to a metal alkaline etching solution for an integrated circuit and a preparation method thereof.
Background
An integrated circuit is a microelectronic device commonly used in flat panel display devices. The conductive line is made of metal materials such as aluminum, copper, and titanium. In order to reduce the impedance of the wires and to increase the signal transmission speed, copper with low resistivity is often used as the material of the conductive lines instead of aluminum. The preparation process of the conductive circuit involves a series of steps such as sputtering a long film, coating photoresist, exposing, developing, etching, and the like. A critical step in the fabrication process of integrated circuits is the etching of the conductive lines. The etching process of the conductive circuit comprises spraying an etching solution on the developed copper material, and etching away the copper in the non-circuit part by utilizing the oxidation-reduction reaction of the etching solution and the copper.
The etching liquid systems widely used in the industry at present are two kinds of acid copper chloride etching liquid and alkaline copper chloride etching liquid. The alkaline etching solution is mainly an ammonia etching solution, which uses a buffer solution composed of ammonia and ammonium salt as main components, and contains trace components to improve the speed or prevent side etching, and the operation temperature is 45-50 ℃ and the pH value is 8-9. The ammonia etching solution has the following problems: 1) The etched plate surface is easy to form sediment such as basic copper chloride and the like to obstruct the etching and enlarge side etching; 2) The ammonia consumption is very large, more than 50kg of ammonia escapes from each ton of etching solution in the etching process, the ammonia and ammonium salt of the waste etching solution after etching reach more than 100kg/t, a large amount of ammonia escapes from the production preparation, transportation, use and treatment processes after use, the negative effects on production workshops and the surrounding environment are very remarkable, a series of problems of volatile ammonia still cannot be eradicated even if the waste etching solution is treated by adopting a 3R (recovery, regeneration and circulation) technology, and the environment-friendly alkaline etching solution without waste gas emission is very necessary to be researched; 3) The ammonia etching liquid has a higher etching speed, so that side etching is easy to generate in the current finer line etching process, and the requirement of fine etching is difficult to meet.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention solves the technical problem of the discharge of the ammonia gas by adopting the ethanolamine to replace ammonia as the main component of the alkaline etching solution. Experiments show that the etching performance of the ethanolamine alkaline etching solution is equivalent to that of the ammonia etching solution. In order to solve the problem that side etching is easy to occur at a higher etching speed, the invention also solves the technical problem by adding beta-alanine as an auxiliary component of the alkaline etching solution.
The reaction mechanism of the present invention is as follows.
For ethanolamine, when an etching solution is initially prepared, a complexing reaction of copper chloride and ethanolamine occurs, wherein EA represents H 2NCH2CH2O-:
CuCl2+2EA→Cu(EA)2Cl2+2H2O
the chemical reaction of the alkaline etching process is:
Cu+Cu(EA)2Cl2+2EA→2Cu(EA)2Cl
The regeneration reaction is
2Cu(EA)2Cl+1/2O2+2H++2Cl-→2Cu(EA)2Cl2+H2O
For beta-alanine, the complexing reaction of cupric chloride and ethanolamine occurs when the etching solution is initially prepared, wherein beta Ala represents H 2NCH2CH2COO-:
CuCl2+2βAla→Cu(βAla)2Cl2+2H2O
the chemical reaction of the alkaline etching process is:
Cu+Cu(βAla)2Cl2+2βAla→2Cu(βAla)2Cl
The regeneration reaction is
2Cu(βAla)2Cl+1/2O2+2H++2Cl-→2Cu(EA)2Cl2+H2O

The beneficial effects of the invention are that
The invention perfectly solves the problem of environmental pollution of the ammonia etching solution by using the ethanolamine with low volatility to replace ammonia as the complexing agent of copper ions, and almost does not lose the etching rate at the same time, thereby being capable of replacing the traditional ammonia etching solution for industrial application.
The present invention has also surprisingly found that by adding a weaker copper ion complexing agent, beta-alanine, as an auxiliary ingredient, the ratio of beta-alanine to ethanolamine in the etching solution can be adjusted to significantly reduce undercut with little loss of etching rate. This is unexpected because, as shown in the examples, when β -alanine alone is used for etching, the etch rate is significantly lower, whereas when β -alanine is used with ethanolamine, the overall etch rate should theoretically be reduced, but the inventors demonstrate that the addition of β -alanine does not affect the overall etch rate at a particular ratio by using a range of ratios of β -alanine to ethanolamine, while also unexpectedly significantly reducing undercut. Without being bound by theory, the inventors believe that the reduction in undercut may be due to the combined effect of the slower etching of the β -alanine-copper complex and the faster etching of the ethanolamine-copper complex on the copper material surface, such that the edge etch rate is significantly lower than that of the ethanolamine-copper complex alone, while the etch rate is almost unaffected as a whole. The inventors have also found that this effect is characteristic of beta-alanine, since no such effect is observed for L-alanine.

TABLE 1
From the above results, it can be seen that the etching solution containing ethanolamine as the main component has an etching rate comparable to that of the conventional ammonia-based alkaline etching solution.
In general, as the amount of β -alanine increases, the etching rate decreases to a different extent, and the etching factor (the higher the value, the smaller the degree of undercut) increases and then decreases. The undercut is significantly reduced and the etch rate is almost unchanged when the ratio of ethanolamine to beta-alanine is 12:1 to 8:1, with best results when the ratio is 10:1. When L-alanine was used (comparative example), no improvement in etching factor was observed.
In the description of the specification, reference to the term "one embodiment," "a particular embodiment," "an example," etc., means that a particular feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the invention. In this specification, schematic representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiments or examples. Furthermore, the particular features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.
The foregoing is merely illustrative and explanatory of the invention, as various modifications and additions may be made to the particular embodiments described, or by similar arrangements, by those skilled in the art, without departing from the scope of the invention or beyond the scope of the appended claims.
