Abstract

A Post-Etch-Residue (PER) removal process for tank and spray tools has been developed using a new inorganic aqueous based chemistry. The performance of this new type of polymer remover, Inosolv 400 Fotopur®, on process wafers is compared with other inorganic chemistries such as DSP (Dilute Sulphuric acid hydrogen Peroxide) and DSP+, containing traces of HF. Inosolv 400 Fotopur® has improved polymer removal capabilities. Furthermore Inosolv 400 Fotopur® does not show any attack of the metal or dielectric layers and is inorganic based and thus environmentally friendly.
