A high pH composition and process for protecting cobalt-containing material layers and/or cleaning post-chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) residue and contaminants from a microelectronic device having said residue and contaminants thereon. The compositions achieve highly efficacious protection of cobalt-containing material layers and cleaning of the post-CMP residue and contaminant material from the surface of the microelectronic device without compromising the low-k dielectric material, copper interconnect material, or cobalt-containing materials. |
