The present disclosure is directed to etching compositions that are useful for, e.g., selectively removing silicon from a semiconductor substrate as an intermediate step in a multistep semiconductor manufacturing process.

Etching compositions

This disclosure relates to a cleaning composition that contains 1) at least one redox agent; 2) at least one chelating agent, the chelating agent being a polyaminopolycarboxylic acid; 3) at least one corrosion inhibitor, the corrosion inhibitor being a substituted or unsubstituted benzotriazole; 4) at least one sulfonic acid; and 5) water.

Cleaning compositions

This disclosure relates to a cleaning composition that contains 1) hydroxylamine; 2) a chelating agent; 3) an alkylene glycol; 4) water. This disclosure also relates to a method of using the above composition for cleaning a semiconductor substrate.

Cleaning formulation for removing residues on surfaces

This disclosure relates to a cleaning composition that contains 1) hydroxylamine; 2) a chelating agent; 3) an alkylene glycol; and 4) water. This disclosure also relates to a method of using the above composition for cleaning a semiconductor substrate.

This disclosure relates to methods and compositions for treating a semiconductor substrate having a pattern disposed on a surface of the substrate. The methods can include a) supplying a sublimating material to a substrate having a pattern disposed on a surface thereof; b) maintaining the sublimating material on the surface for a time sufficient to modify the surface; c) solidifying the sublimating material on the surface; and d) removing by sublimation the sublimating material disposed on the surface.

Surface treatment compositions and methods

This disclosure relates to a cleaning composition that contains 1) hydroxylamine, 2) an amino alcohol, 3) hexylene glycol, and 4) water.

This disclosure relates to a cleaning composition that contains 1) at least one redox agent; 2) at least one first chelating agent, the first chelating agent being a polyaminopolycarboxylic acid; 3) at least one metal corrosion inhibitor, the metal corrosion inhibitor being a substituted or unsubstituted benzotriazole; 4) at least one pH adjusting agent, the pH adjusting agent being a base free of a metal ion; and 5) water. This disclosure also relates to a method of using the above composition for cleaning a semiconductor substrate.

This disclosure relates to a cleaning composition that contains 1) at least one redox agent; 2) at least one alkylsulfonic acid or a salt thereof, the alkylsulfonic acid containing an alkyl group substituted by OH or NH; and 3) at least one aminoalcohol.

This disclosure relates to a cleaning composition that contains 1) at least one redox agent; 2) at least one first chelating agent, the first chelating agent being a polyaminopolycarboxylic acid; 3) at least one second chelating agent different from the first chelating agent, the second chelating agent containing at least two nitrogen-containing groups; 4) at least one metal corrosion inhibitor, the metal corrosion inhibitor being a substituted or unsubstituted benzotriazole; 5) at least one organic solvent selected from the group consisting of water soluble alcohols, water soluble ketones, water soluble esters, and water soluble ethers; 6) water; and 7) optionally, at least one pH adjusting agent, the pH adjusting agent being a base free of a metal ion. This disclosure also relates to a method of using the above composition for cleaning a semiconductor substrate.

The present disclosure is directed to non-corrosive cleaning compositions that are useful, e.g., for removing residues (e.g., plasma etch and/or plasma ashing residues) and/or metal oxides from a semiconductor substrate as an intermediate step in a multistep manufacturing process.
