제목 Green manufacturing of silyl-phosphate for use in 3D NAND flash memory fabrication
초록 Three-dimensional NAND flash memory featuring dozens of vertically stacked memory cells is the state-of-the-art technology for most storage platforms. To fabricate 3D NAND memory, lateral etching of the Si3N4 layer over SiO2 is an essential step. Silyl-phosphate or high selective nitride serves as an etching solution additive to control the SiO2 layer dissolution rate. However, silyl-phosphate is prepared with an expensive monomeric silica precursor and high reaction temperatures and generates environmentally harmful byproduct gases. This study demonstrates that silyl-phosphate can be prepared using low-cost polymeric silica under a mild reaction temperature by changing the characteristic acidity of phosphoric acid. The concentrated phosphoric acid enabled a fast reaction of polymeric silica and phosphate at a low reaction temperature. The proposed method offers an environmentally friendly production process for special chemicals used in 3D NAND flash memory fabrication.
