  • Publication number: 20110177680
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an etchant for wet etching a wiring that includes copper, where the etchant includes approximately 5 to approximately 25 wt % of a peroxide, approximately 0.5 to approximately 5 wt % of an oxidant, approximately 0.1 to approximately 1 wt % of a fluoride-based compound and approximately 1 to approximately 10 wt % of a glycol. The etchant can provide an etching rate that is suitable to many processes, and produces an appropriate etching amount as well as an appropriate taper angle. In addition, the etchant exhibits advantages including relatively low viscosity as compared to phosphoric acid-based etchants, relatively uniform etching characteristics, and relative stability as compared to peroxide-based etchants.
