DYNAMIC MULTI-PURPOSE COMPOSITION FOR THE REMOVAL OF PHOTORESISTS

摘要

Improved dry stripper solutions for removing one, two or more photoresist layers from substrates are provided. The stripper solutions comprise dimethyl sulfoxide, a quaternary ammonium hydroxide, and an alkanolamine, an optional secondary solvent and less than about 3 wt. % water and/or a dryness coefficient of at least about 1. Methods for the preparation and use of the improved dry stripping solutions are additionally provided. Advantageous solution methods are provided for the use of the novel stripper solutions to prepare an electronic interconnect structure by removing a plurality of resist layers to expose an underlying dielectric and related substrate without imparting damage to any of the underlying structure.
