  • Patent number: 12677676
    Abstract: The present invention provides: an aqueous composition capable of removing a photoresist from a printed wiring board or a semiconductor wafer while preventing corrosion of tin plating and tin alloy plating in addition to a copper wiring; and a method for removing a photoresist using the aqueous composition. The aqueous composition according to the present invention is characterized by comprising an alkanolamine (A), a quaternary ammonium hydroxide (B), a sugar alcohol (C), a polar organic solvent (D), and water (E), wherein, with respect to the total amount of the composition, the content of the alkanolamine (A) is 2.5-50 mass %, the content of the quaternary ammonium hydroxide (B) is 0.5-4 mass %, and the content of the sugar alcohol (C) is 0.5-20 mass %.

  • Publication number: 20250163322
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an etching composition for selectively etching a copper seed layer from a substrate that has a copper wiring pattern and the copper seed layer. An etching composition according to the present invention is used for the purpose of selectively etching a copper seed layer from a substrate that has a copper wiring pattern and the copper seed layer, and is characterized by containing (A) hydrogen peroxide, (B) sulfuric acid, (C) an azole or a salt thereof, (D) a glycol ether, (E) a halide ion and (F) water, while being also characterized in that: the content of the hydrogen peroxide (A) is 0.1 to 10% by mass based on the total amount of the etching composition; the content of the sulfuric acid (B) is 0.5 to 5% by mass based on the total amount of the etching composition; the ratio of the hydrogen peroxide (A) to the sulfuric acid (B) is 2 or more in terms of the molar ratio; and the content of the halide ion (E) is 0.01 to 3 ppm based on the total amount of the etching composition.
