Abstract:
Cleaning compositions and processes for cleaning post-plasma etch residue from a microelectronic device having said residue thereon. The composition achieves highly efficacious cleaning of the residue material, including titanium-containing, copper-containing, tungsten-containing, and/or cobalt-containing post-etch residue from the microelectronic device while simultaneously not damaging the interlevel dielectric, metal interconnect material, and/or capping layers also present thereon.
Abstract:
Compositions useful for the selective removal of titanium nitride and/or photoresist etch residue materials relative to metal conducting, e.g., tungsten, and insulating materials from a microelectronic device having same thereon. The removal compositions contain at least one oxidant and one etchant, may contain various corrosion inhibitors to ensure selectivity.

Abstract:
A removal composition and process for selectively removing a first metal gate material (e.g., titanium nitride) relative to a second metal gate material (e.g., tantalum nitride) from a microelectronic device having said material thereon. The removal composition can include fluoride or alternatively be substantially devoid of fluoride. The substrate preferably comprises a high-k/metal gate integration scheme.
