Abstract:
The invention includes methods of cleaning a surface of a cobalt-containing material, methods of forming an opening to a cobalt-containing material, semiconductor processing methods of forming an integrated circuit comprising a copper-containing conductive line, and cobalt-containing film cleaning solutions. In one implementation, a method of cleaning a surface of a cobalt-containing material includes forming a cobalt-containing material over a substrate. The surface of the cobalt-containing material is exposed to an aqueous mixture. The aqueous mixture has an acidic pH and comprises acetic acid, a multiprotic acid, and HF. Other aspects and implementations are contemplated.
