摘要:
An aqueous metal etching composition useful for removal of metals such as nickel, cobalt, titanium, tungsten, and alloys thereof, after formation of metal silicides via rapid thermal annealing during complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) transistor fabrication. The aqueous metal etching composition is also useful for selective removal of metal silicides and/or metal nitrides for wafer re-work. In one formulation, the aqueous metal etching composition contains oxalic acid, and a chloride-containing compound, and in other formulations, the composition contains an oxidizer, such as hydrogen peroxide, and a fluoride source, e.g., borofluoric acid. The composition in another specific formulation contains borofluoric acid and boric acid for effective etching of nickel, cobalt, titanium, tungsten, metal alloys, metal silicides and metal nitrides, without attacking the dielectric and the substrate.

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:
A composition and process for removing photoresist and/or sacrificial anti-reflective coating (SARC) materials from a substrate having such material(s) thereon. The composition includes a base component, such as a quaternary ammonium base in combination with an alkali or alkaline earth base, or alternatively a strong base in combination with an oxidant. The composition may be utilized in aqueous medium, e.g., with chelator, surfactant, and/or co-solvent species, to achieve high-efficiency removal of photoresist and/or SARC materials in the manufacture of integrated circuitry, without adverse effect on metal species on the substrate, such as copper, aluminum and/or cobalt alloys, and without damage to SiOC-based dielectric materials employed in the semiconductor architecture.
