Patent number: 8551682Abstract: Resist stripping agents useful for fabricating circuits and/or forming electrodes on semiconductor devices for semiconductor integrated circuits and/or liquid crystals with reduced metal and metal alloy etch rates (particularly copper etch rates and TiW etch rates), are provided with methods for their use. The preferred stripping agents contain low concentrations of resorcinol or a resorcinol derivative, with or without an added copper salt, and with or without an added amine to improve solubility of the copper salt. Further provided are integrated circuit devices and electronic interconnect structures prepared according to these methods.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2007Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Dynaloy, LLCInventors: John M. Atkinson, Kimberly Dona Pollard, Gene Goebel

Patent number: 8440389Abstract: Back end of line (BEOL) stripping solutions which can be used in a stripping process that replaces etching resist ashing process are provided. The stripping solutions are useful for fabricating circuits and/or forming electrodes on semiconductor devices for semiconductor integrated circuits with good efficiency and with low and acceptable metal etch rates. Methods for their use are similarly provided. The preferred stripping agents contain a polar aprotic solvent, water, an amine and a quaternary hydroxide that is not tetramethylammonium hydroxide. Further provided are integrated circuit devices and electronic interconnect structures prepared according to these methods.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2009Date of Patent: May 14, 2013Assignee: Dynaloy, LLCInventors: Kimberly Dona Pollard, John M.

Publication number: 20130053248Abstract: This disclosure concerns the control of the retention and/or persistence of a biologically active compound (e.g., a pesticide) in soil. In some embodiments, the use of polymer-coated particles comprising a biologically active compound leads to increased persistence of the compound in a target zone to which a composition comprising the particles is applied.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2012Publication date: February 28, 2013Applicant: DOW AGROSCIENCES LLCInventors: John M. Atkinson, Lei Liu, Maria E. Rodriguez Rosas, Richard K. Mann, Raymond E. Boucher, JR., David G. Ouse, Joey D. Cobb, James M. Gifford

Patent number: 5166037Abstract: Disclosed is a method of fabricating a microelectronic package, especially a microelectronic package having copper circuitization on a dielectric substrate. The method includes the steps of depositing, imaging, developing the photoresist for additive circuitization, and forming a pattern of copper circuitization on the so exposed portions of the package. In order to avoid the formation of deleterious air bubbles on the exposed walls of the imaged and developed resist, the panel is exposed to and wetted by a liquid mist.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 1991Date of Patent: November 24, 1992Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: John M.
