摘要:
Chemical formulations and methods for removing unwanted material, such as unexposed photoresist, metal oxides, CMP residue, and the like, from semiconductor wafers or other substrates. The formulations utilize a supercritical fluid-based cleaning composition, which may further include (I) co-solvent(s), (II) surfactant(s), (III) chelating agent(s), and/or (IV) chemical reactant(s).
摘要:
A method and composition for removing hardened photoresist, post-etch photoresist, and/or bottom anti-reflective coating from a microelectronic device is described. The composition may include a dense fluid, e.g., a supercritical fluid, and a dense fluid concentrate including a co-solvent, optionally a fluoride source, and optionally an acid. The dense fluid compositions substantially remove the contaminating residue and/or layers from the microelectronic device prior to subsequent processing, thus improving the morphology, performance, reliability and yield of the microelectronic device.
摘要:
Compositions and methods employing supercritical fluids, e.g., supercritical carbon dioxide, for removal of unwanted material from microelectronic device structures and process equipment. One composition of such type, having utility for removing flux and solder perform surface films, includes supercritical fluid, e.g., supercritical CO2, and organic co-solvent, e.g., xylene. Another composition of such type having utility for removal of metals, metal oxides, metal-containing post-etch residues and CMP particles from semiconductor substrates includes supercritical fluid and at least one β-diketone.

摘要:
A liquid removal composition and process for removing sacrificial anti-reflective coating (SARC) material from a substrate having same thereon. The liquid removal composition includes at least one fluoride-containing compound, at least one organic solvent, optionally water, and optionally at least one chelating agent. The composition achieves at least partial removal of SARC material in the manufacture of integrated circuitry with minimal etching of metal species on the substrate, such as aluminum, copper and cobalt alloys, and without damage to low-k dielectric materials employed in the semiconductor architecture.

摘要:
An aqueous-based composition and process for removing hardened photoresist and/or bottom anti-reflective coating (BARC) material from a microelectronic device having same thereon. The aqueous-based composition includes at least one chaotropic solute, at least one alkaline base, and deionized water. The composition achieves high-efficiency removal of hardened photoresist and/or BARC material in the manufacture of integrated circuitry without adverse effect to metal species on the substrate, such as copper, and without damage to low-k dielectric materials employed in the microelectronic device architecture.
