| 20080269096 | Formulations for Cleaning Ion-Implanted Photoresist Layers from Microelectronic Devices - A method and composition for removing bulk and ion-implanted photoresist and/or post-etch residue material from densely patterned microelectronic devices is described. The composition includes a co-solvent, a chelating agent, optionally an ion pairing reagent, and optionally a surfactant. The composition may further include dense fluid. The compositions effectively remove the photoresist and/or post-etch residue material from the microelectronic device without substantially over-etching the underlying silicon-containing layer(s) and metallic interconnect materials. | 10-30-2008 |
