Abstract:
A non-corrosive cleaning composition that is aqueous-based, non-hazardous and will not harm the environment and is useful primarily for removing both fresh and aged plasma etch residues from a substrate. The composition comprises (a) water; and (b) a synergistic combination of at least one tricarboxylic acid and at least one carboxylic acid. Preferably, the at least one carboxylic acid has a pKa value ranging from 3 to 6. Also, a method for removing etch residues from a substrate. The method includes the steps of (a) providing a substrate with etch residue; and (b) contacting the substrate with a cleaning composition comprising water; and a synergistic combination of at least one tricarboxylic acid and at least one carboxylic acid.
