Inhalt:
In this paper, it used an alkaline based chelating agent compared with Tetraethyl ammonium hydroxide (TEAH) to remove copper inhibitor residue (Cu-BTA) on the post CMP Cu surface. All the samples are detected by SEM and XPS. The results show that the alkaline based chelating agent is more efficient in removing the Cu-BTA from the Cu surface than TEAH, and leaving the cuprous oxide to passivate the Cu surface. 5 – 10 Keywords should be chosen so that they describe the contents of the paper.
