Abstract
In an integrated circuit fabrication sequence, a hardened mask pattern adhered to an underlying substrate is removed from the substrate by a solvent that comprises anhydrous hydrazine and dimethyl sulfoxide. The solvent rapidly penetrates the interface between the pattern and the underlying substrate and quickly breaks the adhesive bonds therebetween. Other materials (e.g., Al, Si, SiO.sub.2) in the structure being fabricated are not deleteriously affected by the solvent.
