In a process for removing etch residue, liquid including an acid and an oxidizer is applied to the back side and peripheral edge of a wafer. The front or device side of the wafer is left unprocessed, or may be exposed to an inert fluid such as a purge gas (e.g., nitrogen or helium), to a rinse such as deionized water, or to another processing fluid such as a more highly diluted etchant. The front side of the wafer is either left unprocessed, or is processed to a lesser degree without damage to the underlying devices, metal interconnects or semiconductor layers.
