Shrane-Ning Jenq

A removal composition and process for cleaning post-chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) contaminants and particles from a microelectronic device having said particles and contaminants thereon. The removal compositions include at least one at least one organic additive; at least one metal chelating agent; and at least one polyelectrolyte. The composition achieves highly efficacious removal of the particles and CMP contaminant material from the surface of the microelectronic device without compromising the low-k dielectric, silicon nitride, and metal containing layers such as tungsten-containing layers.

Tungsten post-CMP cleaning composition

A 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 are substantially devoid of alkali hydroxides, alkaline earth metal hydroxides, and tetramethylammonium hydroxide. 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.
