Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 10/896,589 (Attorney docket 06586 USA) filed Jul. 22, 2004, having the same title and inventors, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference.
- Numerous steps are involved in the fabrication of microelectronic structures. Within the manufacturing scheme of fabricating integrated circuits selective etching of different surfaces of the semiconductor is sometimes required. Historically, a number of vastly different types of etching processes, to selectively remove material, have been successfully utilized to varying degrees. Moreover, the selective etching of different layers, within the microelectronic structure, is considered a critical and crucial step in the integrated circuit fabrication process.
- Increasingly, reactive ion etching (RIE), is the process of choice for pattern transfer during via, metal line and trench formation. For instance, complex semi-conductor devices such as advanced DRAMS and microprocessors, which require multiple layers of back end of line interconnect wiring, utilize RIE to produce vias, metal lines and trench structures. Vias are used, through the interlayer dielectric, to provide contact between one level of silicon, silicide or metal wiring and the next level of wiring. Metal lines are conductive structures used as device interconnects. Trench structures are used in the formation of metal line structures. Vias, metal lines and trench structures typically expose metals and alloys such as Al, Al and Cu alloys, Cu, Ti, TiN, Ta, TaN, W, TiW, silicon or a silicide such as a silicide of tungsten, titanium or cobalt. The RIE process typically leaves a residue (of a complex mixture) that may include re-sputtered oxide material as well as possibly organic materials from photoresist and antireflective coating materials used to lithographically define the vias, metal lines and or trench structures.
- It would therefore be desirable to provide a selective cleaning composition and process capable of removing residues such as, for example, remaining photoresist and/or processing residues, such as for example, residues resulting from selective etching using plasmas and/or RIE. Moreover, it would be desirable to provide a selective cleaning composition and process, capable of removing residues such as photoresist and etching residue, that exhibits high selectivity for the residue as compared to metals, high k dielectric materials, silicon, silicide and/or interlevel dielectric materials including low k dielectric materials such as deposited oxides that might also be exposed to the cleaning composition. It would be desirable to provide a composition that is compatible with and can be used with such sensitive low-k films as HSQ, MSQ, FOx, black diamond and TEOS (tetraethylsilicate).
- The composition disclosed herein is capable of selectively removing residue such as photoresist and processing residue from a substrate without attacking to any undesired extent metal, low k, and/or high k dielectric materials that might also be exposed to the composition. In addition, the composition disclosed herein may exhibit minimal etch rates of certain dielectric materials such as silicon oxide.
- In one aspect, there is provided a composition for removing residues comprising at least about 50% by weight of an organic solvent; wherein at least about 50% of the organic solvent contained therein is a glycol ether; and at least about 0.5% by weight of a quaternary ammonium compound.
- In another aspect, the composition may further include an auxiliary organic solvent that includes at least one of a dihydric alcohol and/or a polyhydric alcohol. In still a further aspect, the composition may comprise water and optionally a corrosion inhibitor.
- Also disclosed herein is a method for removing residues including photoresist and/or etching residue from a substrate that comprises contacting the substrate with the above-disclosed composition.

If the metal to be tested was titanium, an initial dip in phosphoric acid was required. The initial thickness of a wafer was determined using the CDE ResMap 273 Four Point Probe. After determining the initial thickness, test wafers were immersed in the test solution. If only one test wafer was being examined, a dummy wafer was added to the solution. After five minutes the test wafers were removed from the test solution, rinsed for three minutes with deionized water and completely dried under nitrogen. If a negative stripper solution was used, an intermediate rinse of the test wafer in a solvent such as DMAC or IPA (isopropyl alcohol) was performed for three minutes prior to the water wash. The thickness of each wafer was measured and if necessary the procedure was repeated on the test wafer.
- Oxide etch rates were determined using a Nanospec AFT 181 (E-M-DGLAB-0009). 200 mls of a test solution was placed in a 250 ml beaker with stirring and heated, if required, to the specified temperature. Three circles were scribed on each of the wafers to be tested. The marked areas on each wafer were the areas in which measurements would be taken. Initial measurements of each wafer were taken. After the initial measurements the wafers were immersed in the test solution for five minutes. If only one wafer was placed in a beaker containing solution a dummy wafer was placed in the beaker. After five minutes each test wafer was washed with deionized water for three minutes and dried under nitrogen. If a negative stripper solution was used DMAC, IPA or another suitable solvent was used to rinse the test wafers for three minutes prior to the water rinse. Measurements of the scribed areas on each wafer were taken and if necessary the procedure was repeated.
