Definitions
- the present invention relates to self-assembled monolayer (SAM)-containing compositions useful for the removal of bulk and hardened photoresist from the surface of microelectronic devices, and methods of using said compositions for removal of same.
- SAM self-assembled monolayer
- ion implantation has been extensively employed during front-end-of-line (FEOL) processing to accurately control impurity distributions in the microelectronic device and to add dopant atoms, e.g., As, B and P, to the exposed device layers.
- the concentration and depth of the dopant impurity is controlled by varying the dose of the dopant, the acceleration energy, and the ion current.
- the ion-implanted photoresist layer Prior to subsequent processing, the ion-implanted photoresist layer must be removed.
- the removal of the ion-implanted photoresist and other contaminants is usually performed by a plasma etch method followed by a multi-step wet strip process, typically using aqueous-based etchant formulations to remove photoresist, post-etch residue and other contaminants.
- Wet strip treatments in the art generally involve the use of strong acids, bases, solvents, and oxidizing agents.
- wet strip treatments also etch the underlying silicon-containing layers, such as the substrate and gate oxide, and/or increase the gate oxide thickness.
- aqueous-based etchant formulations of the prior art.
- Water has a high surface tension which limits or prevents access to the smaller image nodes with high aspect ratios, and therefore, removing the residues in the crevices or grooves becomes more difficult.
- aqueous-based etchant formulations often leave previously dissolved solutes behind in the trenches or vias upon evaporative drying, which inhibit conduction and reduce device yield.
- underlying porous low-k dielectric materials do not have sufficient mechanical strength to withstand the capillary stress of high surface tension liquids such as water, resulting in pattern collapse of the structures.
- Aqueous etchant formulations can also strongly alter important material properties of the low-k materials, including dielectric constant, mechanical strength, moisture uptake, coefficient of thermal expansion, and adhesion to different substrates.
- the improved composition shall effectively remove bulk and hardened photoresist in a one-step or multi-step process, without the need for a plasma etch step and without substantially over-etching the underlying silicon- containing layer (s).

In other words, most preferably no more than 2% of the underlying silicon-containing layer(s) are etched using the compositions of the present invention for the prescribed times. [0029] As used herein, "about” is intended to correspond to ⁇ 5 % of the stated value.

- the silanes themselves may further include covalently bonded inert molecules, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), whereby following attachment with the silicon- containing surface, the PEG-silane can block other molecules from binding with said surface.

- liquid SAM-containing compositions of the present invention are readily formulated by simple mixing of ingredients, e.g., in a mixing vessel or the cleaning vessel under gentle agitation.
- the dense SAM-containing compositions are readily formulated by static or dynamic mixing at the appropriate temperature and pressure.

Importantly, the hardened crust is removed without substantially over-etching the underlying silicon-containing layer(s).
