  • Patent number: 8557711
    Abstract: The present invention aims to provide an etching solution composition which enables to etch a metal film in a controllable manner, form a desired definite tapered shape, and obtain a smooth surface without causing etching solution exudation trace. Said problems have been solved by the present invention, which is an etching solution composition for etching metal films containing one or more surfactants selected from the group consisting of alkyl sulfate or perfluoroalkenyl phenyl ether sulfonic acid and the salts thereof.

  • Patent number: 8545716
    Abstract: A metal film such as an aluminum film or an aluminum alloy film is etched with good controllability, preventing a resist from bleeding, to have a proper taper configuration and superior flatness. A water solution containing a phosphoric acid, a nitric acid, and an organic acid salt is used as an etching liquid composition used to etch the metal film on a substrate. The organic acid salt is composed of one kind selected from a group consisting of an aliphatic monocarboxylic acid, an aliphatic polycarboxylic acid, an aliphatic oxicarboxylic acid, an aromatic monocarboxylic acid, an aromatic polycarboxylic acid and an aromatic oxycarboxylic acid, and one kind selected from a group consisting of an ammonium salt, an amine salt, a quaternary ammonium salt, and an alkali metal salt. In addition, a concentration of the organic acid salt ranges from 0.1% to 20% by weight.
