摘要:
A method is provided for treating a plurality of semiconductor substrates using the same aqueous SC-1 solution which solution removes and/or inhibits contamination of the semiconductor surfaces by metallic ions present in the solution or on the substrate surface comprising a basic solution containing hydrogen peroxide and an oxidation-resistant chelating additive such as CDTA in an amount effective to provide the desired treatment results. The SC-1 solution may be the conventional 5:1:1 (water:NH.sub.4 OH:H.sub.2 O.sub.2) solution or a dilute solution such as a 5:x:1 to 200:x:1 solution wherein x is 0.025 to 2.

摘要:
Silicon oxide is removed from an article employing a liquid composition containing a fluoride-containing compound, organic solvent, and water. The methods of the invention are especially useful for removal of silicon oxide formed by thermal oxidation of a silicon substrate.
摘要:
Oxides such as those commonly used in interlevel dielectrics may be removed employing a liquid composition containing a fluoride-containing compound and an organic solvent. Preferred compositions are substantially nonaqueous and include an anhydride. Improved methods for selective removal of oxides, especially for removal of silicon oxides where pre-exposed (or conductive metal - containing) features are present, where metal (conductive metal - contaimg) features are to be exposed by the desired oxide removal, or where the silcon oxide otherwise contacts metal (or conductive metal - containing) features are provided.

摘要:
Etching residue, etching mask and silicon nitride and/or silicon dioxide are etched or removed employing a composition containing a fluoride containing compound, water and certain organic solvents.
摘要:
An etching composition, particularly for kinetically controlled etching of copper and copper alloy surfaces; a process for etching copper and copper alloys, particularly for etching at high rates to provide uniform and smooth, isotropic surfaces; an etched copper or copper alloy surface obtained by the process; and a process for generating copper or copper alloy electrical interconnects or contact pads. The etching composition and etching processes provide a smooth, isotropic fast etch of copper and copper alloys for semiconductor fabrication and packaging.
