Resist, Barc and Gap Fill Material Stripping Chemical and Method

摘要

An aqueous-based composition and process for removing photoresist, bottom anti-reflective coating (BARC) material, and/or gap fill material from a substrate having such material(s) thereon. The aqueous-based composition includes a fluoride source, at least one organic amine, at least one organic solvent, water, and optionally chelating agent and/or surfactant. The composition achieves high-efficiency removal of such material(s) in the manufacture of integrated circuitry without adverse effect on metal species on the substrate, such as copper, and without damage to SiOC-based dielectric materials employed in the semiconductor architecture.
