AI Technical Summary
Existing semiconductor manufacturing processes face challenges in effectively removing edge beads of metal-containing resist, leading to resist residue and pattern defects during etching and ion implantation, which affect the integration and reliability of semiconductor devices.
A composition comprising phosphoric acid, phosphorous acid, hypophosphorous acid, and carboxylic acid compounds, along with an organic solvent, is used to minimize resist residue by efficiently removing edge beads during a pattern forming process.
The composition effectively removes edge beads, minimizing resist residue and film deterioration, thereby improving the integration and reliability of semiconductor devices by reducing defects in subsequent processes.
