Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2769248A1] An oxide or nitride layer is subjected to post chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) cleaning by spraying with an aqueous ammonia and hydrogen peroxide solution and then an aqueous hydrofluoric and hydrochloric acid solution to produce a low etched thickness. A post-CMP cleaning process for an oxide or nitride layer on a substrate comprising spraying the layer with an aqueous solution of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide (NH4OH : H2O2 : H2O) and then with an aqueous solution of hydrofluoric and hydrochloric acids (HF : HCl : H2O) to produce a total etched layer thickness of 4-6 nm.
