  • Patent number: 11905490
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning liquid that effectively removes in a short time organic residues and abrasive grains derived from a slurry in a semiconductor substrate in which a Co contact plug and/or Co wiring are present. The present invention relates to a cleaning liquid composition for cleaning a substrate having a Co contact plug and/or Co wiring, which contains one or more reducing agents and water. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a cleaning liquid composition for cleaning a substrate having Co and not having Cu, which contains one or more reducing agents and water and has a pH of 3 or more and less than 12.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11279904
    Abstract: Provided is a cleaning liquid composition which is useful for cleaning of a substrate or the like that has been subjected to a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process, etc in the production steps of an electronic device such as a semiconductor element. A cleaning liquid composition according to the present invention is used for the purpose of cleaning a substrate that has a Cu wiring, and comprises one or more basic compounds and one or more nitrogen-containing monocyclic heterocyclic aromatic compounds that contain one or more carboxyl groups or ester groups, provided that in cases where one or more amino groups are contained therein, only amino groups directly bonded to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic rind are contained. This cleaning liquid composition has a hydrogen ion concentration (pH) of 8-12.

  • Patent number: 11046910
    Abstract: Provided is a cleaning solution composition which, when cleaning the surface of a semiconductor substrate or glass substrate, does not damage SiO2, Si3N4, Si, and the like forming a layer on the substrate surface, can be used under processing conditions applicable to a brush scrub cleaning chamber equipped with a CMP apparatus, and can efficiently remove compounds derived from abrasive particles in a slurry. This cleaning solution composition for cleaning the surface of a semiconductor substrate or glass substrate contains: one or two or more fluorine atom-containing inorganic acids or salts thereof; water; one or two or more reducing agents; and one or two or more anionic surfactants, and has a hydrogen ion concentration (pH) of less than 7.
