    摘要: A system and process for utilization and disposition of a supercritical fluid composition, in which a supercritical fluid (SCF) composition is used in an SCF-using process facility such as a semiconductor manufacturing plant. The supercritical fluid composition is withdrawn from the process facility containing at least one component that is extraneous with respect to the further disposition of the supercritical fluid composition. The withdrawn supercritical fluid composition is converted to a pressurized liquid, which is treated to at least partially remove the extraneous component(s) therefrom. The extraneous component(s)-depleted pressurized liquid in its further disposition can be reconverted to a supercritical state for recycle to the SCF-using process facility, or it can be gasified and discharged to the atmosphere in the case of supercritical fluids such as CO2.

    摘要: A method and composition for removing silicon-containing sacrificial layers from Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) and other semiconductor substrates having such sacrificial layers is described. The etching compositions include a supercritical fluid (SCF), an etchant species, a co-solvent, and optionally a surfactant. Such etching compositions overcome the intrinsic deficiency of SCFs as cleaning reagents, viz., the non-polar character of SCFs and their associated inability to solubilize polar species that must be removed from the semiconductor substrate. The resultant etched substrates experience lower incidents of stiction relative to substrates etched using conventional wet etching techniques.

    摘要: A photoresist cleaning composition for removing photoresist and ion implanted photoresist from semiconductor substrates. The cleaning composition contains supercritical CO2 (SCCO2) and alcohol for use in removing photoresist that is not ion-implanted. When the photoresist has been subjected to ion implantation, the cleaning composition additionally contains a fluorine ion source. Such cleaning composition overcomes the intrinsic deficiency of SCCO2 as a cleaning reagent, viz., the non-polar character of SCCO2 and its associated inability to solubilize species such as inorganic salts and polar organic compounds that are present in the photoresist and that must be removed from the semiconductor substrate for efficient cleaning. The cleaning composition enables damage-free, residue-free cleaning of substrates having photoresist or ion implanted photoresist thereon.
