摘要:
Method of using improved compositions for conditioning silicon surfaces during the manufacture of photovoltaic devices. Used for removing particles, organic contamination, and unwanted metals from these surfaces. Also used for removing a thin layer of silicon as required for damage removal or texturing. These conditioning and surface preparation compositions comprise one or more water soluble strongly basic components capable of producing a pH greater than 10, one or more water soluble organic amines, one or more chelating agents, and water.
摘要:
Aqueous cleaning compositions comprising a tertiary organic amine, an organic acid, a non-metallic fluoride salt, a corrosion inhibitor, e.g., ascorbic acid or its derivatives alone or in combination, balance water, effective to remove plasma processing residues (sidewall polymer) which include metal-organic complexes and/or inorganic salts, oxides, hydroxides or complexes which form films or residues either alone or in combination with the organic polymer resins. These compositions clean effectively at low temperatures without etching metal or dielectric layers, including low-κ dielectric materials.

摘要:
Aqueous alkaline cleaning solutions for cleaning microelectronic substrates and maintaining substrate surface smoothness comprise a metal ion free base, a nonionic surfactant and a component to reduce or control the pH of the cleaning solution to a pH within the range of from about pH 8 to about pH 10.
摘要:
2-diazo-1-ones are useful deep UV photoresist solubility modification agents exhibiting improved photosensitivity allowing shorter deep UV exposure times to achieve the same extent of photoreaction as with prior art solubility modification agents. The 2-diazo-1-one solubility modification agents when used as photoactive solubility modification components in photoresist compositions permit the photoresist compositions to act as either positive or negative photoresist compositions depending upon the developer employed, namely, as a positive resist when a metal ion containing developer is employed and as a negative resist when a metal ion free developer is employed.
摘要:
Photosensitive solubilization inhibitor compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein: x is an integer equal to the valence or functionality of the radical R, andR is a radical selected from the group consisting of the residue of a mono-, di-, tri- or polyfunctional alkanol or silicon-containing alkanol and is attached to the oxy atom of the carboxyl group through a carbon atom.Positive deep ultra-violet photoresists which are base developable comprise base soluble polymers and the photosensitive solubilization inhibition agents. Lithographic resist images are formed with the deep ultra-violet photoresists upon exposure to deep ultra-violet light.
