Abstract:
Compositions useful in microelectronic device manufacturing for cleaning of wafer substrates such as microelectronic device precursor structures. The compositions can be employed for processing of wafers that include copper metallization, for example, in operations such as post-chemical mechanical polishing cleaning of microelectronic device wafers. The aqueous compositions include at least one alkanolamine, at least one quaternary ammonium hydroxide, uric acid, at least one alcohol and at least one additional organic acid antioxidant.

Abstract:
An cleaning composition and process for cleaning post-chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) residue and contaminants from a microelectronic device having said residue and contaminants thereon. The cleaning compositions include novel corrosion inhibitors. The composition achieves highly efficacious cleaning of the post-CMP residue and contaminant material from the surface of the microelectronic device without compromising the low-k dielectric material or the copper interconnect material.
Abstract:
Compositions useful for the selective removal of silicon nitride materials relative to poly-silicon, silicon oxide materials and/or silicide materials from a microelectronic device having same thereon. The removal compositions include fluorosilicic acid, silicic acid, and at least one organic solvent. Typical process temperatures are less than about 100 °C and typical selectivity for nitride versus oxide etch is about 200:1 to about 2000:1. Under typical process conditions, nickel-based silicides as well as titanium and tantalum nitrides are largely unaffected, and polysilicon etch rates are less than about 1 Å min -1 .
