【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、半導体集積回路、液晶パネルの半導体素子回路等の製造に用いられるレジスト剥離剤組成物に関する。さらに詳しくは、半導体基板上又は液晶ガラス基板上に配線を形成するときに生成するレジスト残渣の除去性能と基板上のアルミニウム防食性能との双方に優れた非有機溶剤型レジスト剥離剤組成物に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
レジスト剥離剤組成物は、半導体集積回路、液晶パネルの半導体素子回路等の製造に用いられるフォトレジストを剥離する際に用いられる。半導体素子回路又は付随する電極部の製造は、以下のように行われる。まず、シリコン、ガラス等の基板上に金属膜をCVDやスパッタ等の方法で積層させる。その上面にフォトレジストを膜付けし、それを露光、現像等の処理でパターン形成する。パターン形成されたフォトレジストをマスクとして金属膜をエッチングする。その後、不要となったフォトレジストを剥離剤組成物を用いて剥離・除去した後、洗浄液で洗浄する。これらの操作を繰り返すことにより素子の形成が行われる。
【0003】
従来、レジスト剥離剤組成物としては、アミン類と有機溶剤を主成分とする有機溶剤型剥離剤組成物が用いられている。通常、これらの剥離剤組成物を使用する場合は、高温で長時間処理を要する。
【0004】
一方、フッ化水素酸などのフッ素化合物が半導体基板製造工程又は液晶用ガラス基板製造工程における配線形成時に生成するレジスト残渣除去に有効であることが知られている。例えば、フッ化水素酸、水溶性有機溶媒、並びに、芳香族ヒドロキシ化合物、アセチレンアルコール、カルボキシル基含有有機化合物、その無水物及びトリアゾール化合物から選ばれる少なくとも1種の防食剤を含有するレジスト剥離液組成物が知られている(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。また、フッ化水素酸と金属を含まない塩基との塩、水溶性有機溶媒及び水からなり、かつ水素イオン濃度(pH)が5〜8であるレジスト用剥離液組成物も知られている(例えば、特許文献2参照。)。
【0005】
また、半導体装置製造工程において生成する保護堆積膜を、第四級アンモニウム塩とフッ素化合物を含有する水溶液、又は、第四級アンモニウム塩とフッ素化合物に、アミド類、ラクトン類、ニトリル類、アルコール類、エステル類から選ばれた有機溶媒を含有する水溶液、からなる半導体装置洗浄剤を用いて剥離する技術も知られている(例えば、特許文献3参照。)。また、特定の有機カルボン酸アンモニウム塩又は有機カルボン酸アミン塩、及びフッ素化合物を含有する水溶液からなるレジスト用剥離液も知られている(例えば、特許文献4参照。)。さらには、フッ素化合物及びベタイン化合物と、アミド類、ラクトン類、アルコール類から選ばれた1種以上の有機溶剤を含む半導体装置用洗浄剤が知られている(例えば、特許文献5参照。)。
【0006】
ところで、レジスト剥離剤組成物にあっては、レジスト残渣除去性に優れていて、かつ、基板上に形成されたアルミニウム又はアルミニウム合金等の金属膜の腐食が良好に防止できることが要求される。しかし、上記の各種レジスト剥離剤組成物を用いても、レジスト残渣除去性とアルミニウム等の金属膜の防食性の両方を満足させることが出来ない。特に、上記組成物のうち、フッ素化合物を含有する剥離剤組成物は、アルミニウムもしくはアルミニウム合金の金属膜に対して、剥離工程中での腐食に加えて、剥離処理後の水洗工程における腐食も問題となっている。この水洗工程での腐食は、剥離処理後に基板に残存する剥離液が水により希釈され、腐食性を促進しているものと考えられる。従って、剥離工程中のみならず、剥離処理後の水洗工程においてもアルミニウムもしくはアルミニウム合金等の金属膜腐食を良好に抑制でき、かつ高いレジスト残渣除去性を兼ね備えた剥離剤組成物が望まれている。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上述の現状に鑑み、本発明の目的は、配線形成時に生成するレジスト残渣を高性能で除去すると同時に、剥離処理後の水洗工程における基板上のアルミニウム又はアルミニウム合金等の金属膜の腐食を良好に防止することができる非有機溶剤型レジスト剥離剤組成物を提供することにある。
【0009】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者は上記課題を解決するため種々の実験を重ねた結果、フッ化水素酸と水とを含有する非有機溶剤型剥離剤組成物において、特定の窒素含有環状化合物を含有させることで、レジスト残渣物を高性能で除去できると共に、アルミニウム配線の防食性も得られることを見出し、本発明を完成させるに至った。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a resist remover composition used in the production of semiconductor integrated circuits, semiconductor element circuits of liquid crystal panels, and the like. More specifically, the present invention relates to a non-organic solvent-type resist remover composition that is excellent in both removal performance of resist residues generated when forming wiring on a semiconductor substrate or a liquid crystal glass substrate and aluminum anticorrosion performance on the substrate.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The resist remover composition is used when removing a photoresist used for manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit, a semiconductor element circuit of a liquid crystal panel, and the like. Manufacture of a semiconductor element circuit or an accompanying electrode part is performed as follows. First, a metal film is laminated on a substrate such as silicon or glass by a method such as CVD or sputtering. A photoresist is formed on the upper surface, and a pattern is formed by processing such as exposure and development. The metal film is etched using the patterned photoresist as a mask. Thereafter, the unnecessary photoresist is stripped and removed using a stripper composition, and then washed with a cleaning liquid. Elements are formed by repeating these operations.
[0003]
Conventionally, as a resist stripper composition, an organic solvent-type stripper composition containing amines and an organic solvent as main components has been used. Usually, when these release agent compositions are used, treatment at a high temperature for a long time is required.
[0004]
On the other hand, it is known that a fluorine compound such as hydrofluoric acid is effective for removing a resist residue generated during wiring formation in a semiconductor substrate manufacturing process or a liquid crystal glass substrate manufacturing process. For example, a resist stripping solution composition containing hydrofluoric acid, a water-soluble organic solvent, and at least one anticorrosive agent selected from aromatic hydroxy compounds, acetylene alcohols, carboxyl group-containing organic compounds, anhydrides thereof, and triazole compounds The thing is known (for example, refer patent document 1). Also known is a resist stripping composition comprising a salt of hydrofluoric acid and a metal-free base, a water-soluble organic solvent, and water, and having a hydrogen ion concentration (pH) of 5 to 8 ( For example, see Patent Document 2.)
[0005]
In addition, the protective deposition film generated in the semiconductor device manufacturing process may be an aqueous solution containing a quaternary ammonium salt and a fluorine compound, or a quaternary ammonium salt and a fluorine compound, amides, lactones, nitriles, alcohols. There is also known a technique of peeling using a semiconductor device cleaner comprising an aqueous solution containing an organic solvent selected from esters (see, for example, Patent Document 3). Further, a resist stripping solution made of an aqueous solution containing a specific organic carboxylic acid ammonium salt or organic carboxylic acid amine salt and a fluorine compound is also known (for example, see Patent Document 4). Furthermore, a semiconductor device cleaning agent containing a fluorine compound and a betaine compound and one or more organic solvents selected from amides, lactones, and alcohols is known (for example, see Patent Document 5).
[0006]
By the way, the resist remover composition is required to have excellent resist residue removability and to be able to satisfactorily prevent corrosion of a metal film such as aluminum or aluminum alloy formed on the substrate. However, even if the above-mentioned various resist remover compositions are used, it is not possible to satisfy both resist residue removal properties and corrosion resistance of a metal film such as aluminum. In particular, among the above compositions, the release agent composition containing a fluorine compound has a problem of corrosion in the water washing step after the peeling treatment, in addition to the corrosion in the peeling step, on the metal film of aluminum or aluminum alloy. It has become. Corrosion in this water washing step is considered to promote the corrosiveness because the stripping solution remaining on the substrate after the stripping treatment is diluted with water. Accordingly, there is a demand for a release agent composition that can satisfactorily suppress corrosion of a metal film such as aluminum or an aluminum alloy and has high resist residue removability not only during the peeling step but also in the water washing step after the peeling treatment. .
