Abstract:
A composition for selectively etching a layer comprising an aluminium compound in the presence of a layer of a low-k material and/or a layer comprising copper and/or cobalt is described, and a corresponding use of said composition. Further is described a process for the manufacture of a semiconductor device, comprising the step of selectively etching at least one layer comprising an aluminium compound in the presence of a layer of a low-k material and/or a layer comprising copper and/or cobalt by contacting the at least one layer comprising an aluminium compound with the described composition.
Abstract:
A chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) composition is provided comprising (A) one or more compounds selected from the group of benzotriazole derivatives which act as corrosion inhibitors and (B) inorganic particles, organic particles, or a composite or mixture thereof. The invention also relates to the use of certain compounds selected from the group of benzotriazole derivatives as corrosion inhibitors, especially for increasing the selectivity of a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) composition for the removal of tantalum or tantalum nitride from a substrate for the manufacture of a semiconductor device in the presence of copper on said substrate.
