Abstract

The present invention relates to a composition for etching, comprising a first inorganic acid, a first additive represented by Chemical Formula 1, and a solvent.The composition for etching is a high-selectivity composition that can selectively remove a nitride film while minimizing the etch rate of an oxide film, and which does not have problems such as particle generation, which adversely affect the device characteristics.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for forming a cell gate structure comprising:
forming a cell gate structure on a substrate by alternatively stacking a plurality of interlayer insulating layers and a plurality of gate electrode layers;
forming a plurality of holes through the cell gate structure; and
selectively etching a plurality of nitride layers in the cell gate structure by a composition;
wherein the composition for the selective etching comprises:
a first inorganic acid;
a first additive represented by Chemical Formula 1;
a second additive comprising a silane inorganic acid salt produced by reaction between a second inorganic acid and a silane compound; and
a solvent;
wherein the second inorganic acid is at least one selected from the group consisting of a sulfuric acid, a fuming sulfuric acid, and a combination thereof; and
the silane compound is a compound selected from Chemical Formulas 10, 20, and their combination;
the silane inorganic acid salt is represented by Chemical Formula C230-1;

(In Chemical Formula 1, X is 0 or N; R1 to R6 are each, independently, selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, a C1-C20 alkyl group, a C1-C20 alkoxy group, a C2-C20 alkenyl group, a C3-C20 cycloalkyl group, a C1-C20 aminoalkyl group, a C6-C20 aryl group, a C1-C20 alkyl carbonyl group, a C1-C20 alkyl carbonyloxy group, and a C1-C10 cyano alkyl group; and n 11 is 0 or 1);

(In Chemical Formula 10 and Chemical Formula 20: each R 1 to R 10 is independently selected from a group consisting of hydrogen atom, halogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and an aryl group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms; at least one of R 1 to R 4 is hydrogen, or an alkoxy group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms; and n is one of integer numbers from 1 to 10);

(In Chemical Formula C230-1: each R 111 to R 112 is independently selected from a group consisting of hydrogen atom, halogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and an aryl group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms; each R 113 to R 114 is independently hydrogen; n 4 is one of integer numbers from 0 to 2; l 1 is one of integer numbers from 0 to 10; m 1 is 0 or 1).

(In Chemical Formula C250-1: any one of R 131 to R 132 is a coupler coupling to Chemical Formula C230-1, the other is independently selected from a group consisting of hydrogen atom, halogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and an aryl group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms; and each R 113 to R 115 is independently hydrogen, or substituted by a substituent represented by Chemical Formula C250-1; n 4 is one of integer numbers from 0 to 2; l 1 is one of integer numbers from 0 to 10; m 1 is 0 or 1).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the silane inorganic acid salt represented by Chemical Formula C230-1 is any one selected from a group consisting of Chemical Formulas 62, 63, 67, 234 and their combination;

(In Chemical Formulas 62, 63, 67, and 234: each R 1-1 , R 1-2 , R 1-3 , R 1-4 , R 11 and R 13 is independently selected from a group consisting of hydrogen atom, halogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and an aryl group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms).

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition for etching comprises the first additive at a proportion of 0.01% to 15% by weight, the first inorganic acid at a proportion of 70% to 99% by weight, the second additive at a proportion of 0.01% to 15% by weight, and the solvent as the balance.
