摘要:
Provided are an anionic surfactant-containing etching solution for removal of an oxide film, preparation methods thereof, and methods of fabricating a semiconductor device using the etching solution. The etching solution includes a hydrofluoric acid (HF), deionized water, and an anionic surfactant. The anionic surfactant is a compound in which an anime salt is added as a counter ion, as represented by R1—OSO3−HA+, R1—CO2−HA+,R1—PO42—(HA+)2,(R1)2—PO4—HA+, or R1—SO3—HA+ where R1 is a straight or branched hydrocarbon group of C4 to C22 and A is ammonia or amine. The etching solution provides a high etching selectivity ratio of an oxide film to a nitride film or a polysilicon film. Therefore, in a semiconductor device fabrication process such as a STI device isolation process or a capacitor formation process, when an oxide film is exposed together with a nitride film or a polysilicon film, the etching solution can be efficiently used in selectively removing only the oxide film.
摘要:
Disclosed are a cleaning solution for preventing damage of a silicon germanium layer when cleaning a semiconductor device including the silicon germanium layer and a cleaning method using the same. The cleaning solution of a silicon germanium layer includes from about 0.01 to about 2.5 percent by weight of a non-ionic surfactant with respect to 100 percent by weight of the cleaning solution, about 0.05 to about 5.0 percent by weight of an alkaline compound with respect to the cleaning solution and a remaining amount of pure water. The damage to an exposed silicon germanium layer can be prevented when cleaning a silicon substrate having a silicon germanium layer. Impurities present on the surface portion of the silicon germanium layer can be effectively removed.

摘要:
In a method of manufacturing a shallow trench isolation (STI) structure using a HF vapor etching process according to some embodiments of the invention, a trench is formed in a semiconductor substrate. A buffer layer and a first insulating layer, which fill the trench, are formed. A portion of the first insulating layer is removed by performing an etching process using HF vapor, thereby removing a void existing in the first insulating layer. A second insulating layer filling the trench is formed on the etched first insulating layer. Other embodiments of the invention are described and claimed.
