摘要:
In a method of reworking a substrate, an organic anti-reflection coating (ARC) layer is formed on the substrate having an amorphous carbon pattern. A photoresist pattern is formed on the organic ARC layer. The photoresist pattern is entirely exposed when the photoresist pattern has a selected level of defects, and then the photoresist pattern is removed by a developing process. The substrate may be reworked without damaging the organic ARC layer, and the amorphous carbon pattern may include an alignment key and/or an overlay key.

A corrosion-inhibiting cleaning composition for semiconductor wafer processing includes hydrogen peroxide at a concentration in a range from about 0.5 wt % to about 5 wt %, sulfuric acid at a concentration in a range from about 1 wt % to about 10 wt %, hydrogen fluoride at a concentration in a range from about 0.01 wt % to about 1 wt %; an azole at a concentration in a range from about 0.1 wt % to about 5 wt % and deionized water. The azole operates to inhibit corrosion of a metal layer being cleaned by chelating with a surface of the metal layer during a cleaning process.

Provided herein are methods for using corrosion-inhibiting cleaning compositions for semiconductor wafer processing that include an aqueous admixture of at least water, a surfactant and a corrosion-inhibiting compound selected from a group consisting of amino phosphonates, polyamines and polycarboxylic acids. The quantity of the corrosion-inhibiting compound in the admixture is preferably in a range from about 0.0001 wt % to about 0.1 wt % and the quantity of the surfactant is preferably in a range from about 0.001 wt % to about 1.0 wt %. The aqueous admixture may also include sulfuric acid and a fluoride, which act as oxide etchants, and a peroxide, which acts as a metal etchant.

An instantaneous pressure reducing heating and drying apparatus for an object, such as a wafer, includes a pressure reducing chamber; a vacuum pump for reducing a pressure in the pressure reducing chamber to below atmospheric pressure; a drying chamber installed within the pressure reducing chamber for drying the object that is loaded in the drying chamber; a pressure regulating valve installed in a wall of the drying chamber, wherein when the pressure regulating valve is opened a pressure in the drying chamber is instantaneously reduced to the pressure of the pressure reducing chamber; and a heating means for heating the drying chamber. In operation, the vacuum pump reduces a pressure of the pressure reducing chamber to below atmospheric pressure, and the pressure regulating valve installed in a wall of the drying chamber opens thereby instantaneously reducing the pressure the drying chamber to the reduced pressure of the pressure reducing chamber.

摘要:
In a cleaning solution and a method of cleaning a semiconductor substrate, the cleaning solution includes about 1 to about 10 percent by weight of sulfuric acid, about 0.5 to about 5 percent by weight of aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution, and about 85 to about 98.5 percent by weight of hydrogen fluoric acid solution. Various polymers attached to a metal wiring formed on a substrate are removed by immersing the substrate into the cleaning solution. The substrate is rinsed to remove the cleaning solution remaining on the substrate. Thus, the polymers can be completely removed without damage to the metal wiring and an underlying oxide film.
