    Abstract: The use of an organic compound as cleavable additive, preferably as cleavable surfactant, in the modification and/or treatment of at least one surface of a semiconductor substrate is described. Moreover, it is described a method of making a semiconductor substrate, comprising contacting at least one surface thereof with an organic compound, or with a composition comprising it, to treat or modify said surface, cleaving said organic compound into a set of fragments and removing said set of fragments from the contacted surface. More in particular, a method of cleaning or rinsing a semiconductor substrate or an intermediate semiconductor substrate is described. In addition, a compound is described which is suitable for the uses and methods pointed out above and which preferably is a cleavable surfactant.

    Abstract: Described herein is a cleaning composition for post-etch or post-ash residue removal from the surface of a semiconductor substrate and a corresponding use of said cleaning composition. Further described is the use of said cleaning composition in combination with one or more oxidants, e.g. for oxidative etching or partial oxidative etching of a layer or mask, comprising or consisting of TiN, preferably in the presence of a tungsten material, on the surface of a semiconductor substrate, and/or for post-etch or post-ash residue removal from the surface of a semiconductor substrate. Moreover, it is described a wet-etch composition comprising the cleaning composition of the present invention and one or more oxidants, the use of said wet-etch composition for oxidative etching or partial oxidative etching of a layer or mask, comprising or consisting of TiN, preferably in the presence of a tungsten material, on the surface of a semiconductor substrate, and/or for post-etch or post-ash residue removal from the surface of a semiconductor substrate, a process for the manufacture of a semiconductor device from a semiconductor substrate using said wet-etch composition and a kit comprising the cleaning composition of the present invention and one or more oxidants. Furthermore, it is described the use of an imidazolidinethione in a composition for etching or partially etching of a layer or mask on the surface of a semiconductor substrate and/or for cleaning a semiconductor substrate.
