Abstract:
This disclosure relates to a process for stripping an organic film on a patterned semiconductor substrate. The process includes treating the organic film with an aqueous stripper composition to remove the organic film in one step. The organic film includes at least a first layer and a second layer, the first layer has a dissolution rate of at most about 0.01 μ/min in a developer at 25° C., and the second layer has a dissolution rate of greater than about 0.01 μ/min in the developer at 25° C.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to compositions containing 1) at least one water soluble polar aprotic organic solvent; 2) at least one quaternary ammonium hydroxide; 3) at least one compound comprising at least three hydroxyl groups; 4) at least one carboxylic acid; 5) at least one Group II metal cation; 6) at least one copper corrosion inhibitor selected from the group consisting of 6-substituted-2,4-diamino-1,3,5-triazines; and 7) water. The compositions can effectively strip positive or negative-tone resists or resist residues, and be non-corrosive to bumps and underlying metallization materials (such as SnAg, CuNiSn, CuCoCu, CoSn, Ni, Cu, Al, W, Sn, Co, and the like) on a semiconductor substrate.

Abstract:
The present document relates to a polishing composition that includes at least one abrasive, at least one pH adjuster, at least one guanamine compound, and water. The polishing composition can be used in a method of polishing a substrate including applying the polishing composition to a surface of a substrate and bringing a pad into contact with the surface of the substrate and moving the pad in relation to the substrate. The surface of the substrate can include tungsten and/or molybdenum.
