Cleaning compositions containing hydroxylamine derivatives and processes using same for residue removal

摘要

The present invention is directed to resist and etching residue removing compositions containing at least one nucleophilic amine compound possessing reduction and oxidation potentials, a two-carbon atom linkage alkanolamine compound, and optionally water and/or one or more corrosion inhibitors. The compositions may be substantially free of hydroxylamine, polar organic solvents, water, corrosion inhibitors, or a combination thereof. The compositions are useful in processes for removing resists and etching residue from metal or metal alloy substrates or substrate layers used in micro-circuitry fabrication.
