Abstract:
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft neue, lagerstabile Lösungen, mit deren Hilfe in der Halbleitertechnologie gezielt Metallisierungsschichten aus Kupfer aber auch Cu/Ni- Schichten geätzt werden können. Mit den neuen Ätzlösungen ist es möglich, reine Kupfermetallisierungen, Schichten aus Kupfer-Nickel-Legierungen aber auch übereinander liegende Kupfer und Nickelschichten zu ätzen und zu strukturieren. Die Lösungen enthalten Salpetersäure, Wasserstoffperoxid, Zitronensäure und Wasser.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to new compositions for cleaning of microelectronic substrates, especially for copper metallizations or copper surfaces in semiconductor processing and wafer production. It also relates to the use of such cleaning compositions for stripping photoresists and cleaning residues from plasma generated organic, organometallic and inorganic compounds. Especially the invention relates to compositions of from resist strippers or polymer resist removers and their use with better performance.
