Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/051380
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Cleaning compositions and processes for cleaning residue from a microelectronic device having said residue thereon. The composition comprises at least one amine, at least one oxidizing agent, water, and at least one borate species and achieves highly efficacious cleaning of the residue material, including post-ash residue, post-etch residue, post-CMP residue, particles, organic contaminants, metal ion contaminants, and combinations thereof from the microelectronic device while simultaneously not damaging the titanium nitride layers and low-k dielectric materials also present on the device.
