摘要:
A spin-on formulation that is useful in stripping an ion implanted photoresist is provided that includes an aqueous solution of a water soluble polymer containing at least one acidic functional group, and at least one lanthanide metal-containing oxidant. The spin-on formulation is applied to an ion implanted photoresist and baked to form a modified photoresist. The modified photoresist is soluble in aqueous, acid or organic solvents. As such one of the aforementioned solvents can be used to completely strip the ion implanted photoresist as well as any photoresist residue that may be present. A rinse step can follow the stripping of the modified photoresist.

摘要:
An aqueous solution of a cerium (IV) complex or salt having an extended lifetime is provided. In one embodiment, the extended lifetime is achieved by adding at least one booster additive to an aqueous solution of the cerium (IV) complex or salt. In another embodiment, the extended lifetime is achieved by providing an aqueous solution of a cerium (IV) complex or salt and a cerium (III) complex or salt. The cerium (III) complex or salt can be added or it can be generated in-situ by introducing a reducing agent into the aqueous solution of the cerium (IV) complex or salt. The aqueous solution can be used to remove a mask material, especially an ion implanted and patterned photoresist, from a surface of a semiconductor substrate.

摘要:
Methods for removing a masking material, for example, a photoresist, and electronic devices formed by removing a masking material are presented. For example, a method for removing a masking material includes contacting the masking material with a solution comprising cerium. The cerium may be comprised in a salt. The salt may be cerium ammonium nitrate.
