  • Patent number: 9329486
    Abstract: The disclosure is directed solutions and processes to remove substances from substrates. The substances can include photoresist. The solutions can include dimethylsulfoxide, a quaternary ammonium hydroxide, an alkanolamine, and less than 3% by weight water of a total weight of the solution. The quaternary ammonium hydroxide can include tetramethylammonium hydroxide, dimethyldipropylammonium hydroxide, or methyltriethylammonium hydroxide. Additionally, the solutions can include a secondary solvent. For example, the secondary solvent can include an alcohol. In another example, the secondary solvent can include ethylene glycol. Methods for the preparation and use of the solution to remove substances from substrates are also described.
