    Abstract: Removal compositions and processes for removing at least one material layer from a rejected microelectronic device structure having same thereon. The removal composition includes hydrofluoric acid. The composition achieves substantial removal of the material(s) to be removed while not damaging the layers to be retained, for reclaiming, reworking, recycling and/or reuse of said structure.

    Abstract: COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR THE REMOVAL OF PHOTORESIST FOR A WAFER REWORK APPLICATIONCompositions useful in reworking microelectronic device wafers, i.e., removing photoresist from rejected wafers, without damaging underlying layers and structures such as cap layers, interlevel dielectric layers, etch stop layers and metal interconnect material. The semi-aqueous compositions include at least one alkali and/or alkaline earth metal basic salt, at least one organic solvent, water, optionally at least one quaternary ammonium basic salt, optionally at least one metal corrosion inhibitor and optionally at least one water-soluble polymer surfactant.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: A photoresist cleaning composition for removing photoresist and ion implanted photoresist from semiconductor substrates. The cleaning composition contains supercritical CO 2 (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.
