Methods of employing aqueous cleaning compositions in manufacturing microelectronic devices

摘要

Aqueous cleaning compositions comprise from about 0.01 to about 10 weight percent of hydrogen fluoride; from about 1 to about 10 weight percent of hydrogen peroxide; and from about 0.01 to about 30 weight percent of isopropyl alcohol. Methods of manufacturing microelectronic devices comprise providing electrodes on insulation films on microelectronic substrates; etching the insulation films using the electrodes as etching masks to form an exposed surfaces on the electrodes; cleaning the exposed surfaces with aqueous cleaning compositions comprising from about 0.01 to about 10 weight percent of hydrogen fluoride; from about 1 to about 10 weight percent of hydrogen peroxide; and from about 0.01 to about 30 weight percent of isopropyl alcohol; and forming dielectric films on the exposed surfaces of the electrodes. The cleaning step and the etching step are carried out simultaneously.
