Wet clean solutions to prevent pattern collapse

摘要

A method for implementing a wet clean process includes cleaning one or more trenches formed in an interlevel dielectric by applying a two-phase cleaning solution. Applying the two-phase cleaning solution includes applying a first component of the two-phase cleaning solution including a diluted acid solution, and reducing capillary force during drying by applying a second component of the two-phase cleaning solution including a chemistry that is less dense than the first component.
