Abstract

A semiconductor processing liquid including hydrofluoric acid, and an organic solvent, in which the organic solvent contains a compound represented by the formula below in which X 1 is a single bond or an alkylene group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, in which an ether bond may be interposed, Y 10 is one of —O—, —(C═O)—, —O—(C═O)—, and —(C═O)—O—, Y 20 is one of —(C═O)—, —O—(C═O)—, and —(C═O)—O—, and Y 11 and Y 21 are each independently a single bond or an alkylene group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms in which an ether bond may be interposed, provided that, X 1 , Y 11 , and Y 21 do not contain hydroxyl groups in structures thereof, and when X 1 is a single bond, Y 10 is not —O—) H 3 C—Y 11 —Y 10 —X 1 —Y 20 —Y 21 —CH 3   (1).

Claims (17)

1. A method for processing a substrate comprising:

bringing a semiconductor processing liquid into contact with a semiconductor substrate having a boron phosphorus glass film formed thereon,

the semiconductor processing liquid comprising:

hydrofluoric acid (A); and

an organic solvent (B),

wherein the organic solvent (B) contains a compound represented by Formula (1):

H 3 C—Y 11 —Y 10 —X 1 —Y 20 —Y 21 —CH 3   (1)

wherein X 1 is a single bond or an alkylene group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, in which an ether bond may be interposed,

Y 10 is one selected from the group consisting of —O—, —(C═O)—, —O—(C═O)—, and —(C═O)—O—,

Y 20 is one selected from the group consisting of —(C═O)—, —O—(C═O)—, and —(C═O)—O—,

Y 11 and Y 21 are each independently a single bond or an alkylene group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms in which an ether bond may be interposed,

provided that, X 1 , Y 11 , and Y 21 do not contain hydroxyl groups in structures thereof, and, when X 1 is a single bond, Y 10 is not —O—,

and wherein the semiconductor processing liquid has a pH of 1.2 or less.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the organic solvent (B) is 70% by mass or more of the entire semiconductor processing liquid.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the semiconductor processing liquid further comprises water (W).

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the semiconductor processing liquid is an etching liquid.

5. The s method according to claim 4 , wherein a ratio (BPSG/TEOS) of an etching rate of a boron phosphorus glass film (BPSG) at 25° C. with respect to an etching rate of a thermal oxide film (TEOS) at 25° C. is 250 or more.
