Cleaning compositions and processes for cleaning post-plasma etch residue from a microelectronic device having said residue thereon. The composition achieves highly efficacious cleaning of the residue material, including titanium-containing, copper-containing, tungsten-containing, and/or cobalt-containing post-etch residue from the microelectronic device while simultaneously not damaging the interlevel dielectric, metal interconnect material, and/or capping layers also present thereon.

Aqueous and semi-aqueous cleaners for the removal of post-etch residues with tungsten and cobalt compatibility

Compositions useful for the selective removal of titanium nitride and/or photoresist etch residue materials relative to metal conducting, e.g., cobalt, ruthenium and copper, and insulating materials from a microelectronic device having same thereon. The removal compositions contain at least one oxidant and one etchant, may contain various corrosion inhibitors to ensure selectivity.

Compositions and methods for selectively etching titanium nitride

Semi-aqueous compositions useful for the selective removal of titanium nitride and/or photoresist etch residue materials relative to metal conducting, e.g., tungsten and copper, and insulating materials from a microelectronic device having same thereon. The semi-aqueous compositions contain at least one oxidant, at least one etchant, and at least one organic solvent, may contain various corrosion inhibitors to ensure selectivity.

A liquid removal composition and process for removing anti-reflective coating (ARC) material and/or post-etch residue from a substrate having same thereon. The composition achieves at least partial removal of ARC material and/or post-etch residue in the manufacture of integrated circuitry with minimal etching of metal species on the substrate, such as aluminum, copper and cobalt alloys, and without damage to low-k dielectric and nitride-containing materials employed in the semiconductor architecture.
