  • Patent number: 7943516
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device forms an interlayer insulating film on a nickel silicide layer formed on a substrate, and forms a through hole by performing dry etching using a resist pattern, formed on the interlayer insulating film, as a mask and then removing the resist pattern by ashing. A wafer after an ashing process is cleaned using a cleaning solution comprised of aqueous solution having a content of the fluorine-containing compound of 1.0 to 5.0 mass %, a content of chelating agent of 0.2 to 5.0 mass %, and a content of the organic acid salt of 0.1 to 3.0 mass %.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 21, 2008
    Date of Patent: May 17, 2011

  • Patent number: 7816312
    Abstract: The present invention provides a composition for photoresist stripping solution which shows a superior stripping property of photoresists and damaged photoresist layers remained after dry etching in the fabrication process of semiconductor circuit devices, without attacking new wiring materials and interlayer insulating film materials, as well as a process of stripping of photoresists and damaged photoresist layers. The composition for photoresist stripping solution which contains at least one of acetylene alcohol compounds and organic sulfonic acid compounds, and at least one of polyvalent alcohols and their derivatives is used.
