The invention more particularly relates to the removal of undesired matter from the surface of substrates with small features, where such undesired matter may comprise organic and inorganic compounds such as particles, films from photoresist material, and traces of any other impurities such as metals deposited during planarization or etching. A method according to the present invention for treating a surface of a substrate comprises generating a foam from a liquid composition, wherein the liquid composition comprises a gas; a surfactant; and at least one component selected from the group consisting of a fluoride, a hydroxylamine, an amine and periodic acid; contacting the foam with the surface of a substrate; and, removing the undesired matter from the surface of the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2006Date of Patent: September 25, 2007Assignee: EKC Technology, Inc.Inventors: Bakul P. Patel, Mihaela Cernat, Robert J. Small

Patent number: 7235517Abstract: Degreasing compositions that may be used, for example, to degrease substrates such as contaminated surfaces of automobile engines are disclosed. The degreasing compositions comprise a builder, an amphoteric surfactant, and an alkoxylated acetylenic diol having the structure of formula (I) or (II): where: R1 and R4 are, independently, alkyl radicals containing from 3 to 10 carbon atoms; R2 and R3 are, independently, selected from the group consisting of methyl and ethyl; and (x+y)=2 to 50; ?where: r and t are each, independently, 1 or 2; (n+m)=1 to 30; and (p+q)=1 to 30. Certain embodiments of the degreasing composition are non-caustic, low VOC and may be low phosphate or phosphate-free.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2002Date of Patent: June 26, 2007Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventor: Richard S. Smith

Patent number: 7160847Abstract: A method for chemical etching is disclosed for taking away oxidized film and removing cut as well as punched edge burs of harden-treated carbon steel (SK3, SK4 and SK5). Thereby, the fillet edge of the cut section is achieved. An oxidized film with a thickness of several micrometers is formed when a cut and punched steel is quenched and tempered at high temperature. Due to high strength and hardness of the steel, the oxidized film and edge burs are difficult to be removed by mechanical grinding. Therefore, a suitable electrolyte composes of only a little chemical reagent and oxidizer in deionized water is used to remove the oxidized film and punched bur simultaneously using chemical etching method.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2003Date of Patent: January 9, 2007Assignee: Chang Gung UniversityInventors: Ching-An Huang, Chun-Ching Hsu

Patent number: 7144848Abstract: The present invention is directed to resist and etching residue removing compositions containing at least one nucleophilic amine compound possessing reduction and oxidation potentials, a two-carbon atom linkage alkanolamine compound, and optionally water and/or one or more corrosion inhibitors. The compositions may be substantially free of hydroxylamine, polar organic solvents, water, corrosion inhibitors, or a combination thereof. The compositions are useful in processes for removing resists and etching residue from metal or metal alloy substrates or substrate layers used in micro-circuitry fabrication.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2003Date of Patent: December 5, 2006Assignee: EKC Technology, Inc.Inventors: De-Ling Zhou, Jing Qiao, Shihying Lee, Bakul P.

Patent number: 7144849Abstract: A composition for removing resists and etching residue from substrates containing at least one nucleophilic amine compound having oxidation and reduction potentials, at least one organic solvent, water and, optionally, a chelating agent is described. The chelating agent is preferred to be included since it provides added stability and activity to the cleaning composition so that the composition has long term effectiveness. If a chelating agent is not present, the composition, while providing for adequate stripping and cleaning upon initial use of the composition following mixing, has only short term stability. In this latter instance, the nucleophilic amine compound and organic solvent components of the composition preferably are maintained separate from each other until it is desired to use the composition. Thereafter, the components are combined. Following use of the composition, the non-used portion of the composition can be disposed of or be reactivated by the addition of a chelating agent.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2005Date of Patent: December 5, 2006Assignee: EKC Technology, Inc.Inventors: Wai Mun Lee, Charles U. Pittman, Jr., Robert J. Small

Patent number: 7122510Abstract: The invention relates to a method for one-bath chemical cleaning and preservation of interior surfaces of hollow steel bodies, without any organic solvents, comprising controlled change of the liquid bath in that in a circuit of hoses running from a mobile tank equipped with a pump unit and steam generator there is circulated a liquid stream to a defined cavity of steel. The composition of the liquid is changed methodically by the addition of fresh chemical additives until the end of the process. Fresh water at 80° C. has added thereto an alkaline degreasing liquid A containing chlorine-free tensides, which is circulated, whereupon cleaning liquid B, consisting of citric acid with added cationic tensides, is added to a pH of 4.5 and is circulated. There is then added a complexing derusting liquid C, with active modified aminocarboxykate made biologically degradable, with adjustment of the pH to 4.5–5.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2005Date of Patent: October 17, 2006Inventor: Magnor Nordaa
