Abstract

See full text

A chemical solution that removes undesired metal hard mask yet remains selective to the device wiring metallurgy and dielectric materials. The present invention decreases aspect ratio by selective removal of the metal hard mask before the metallization of the receiving structures without adverse damage to any existing metal or dielectric materials required to define the semiconductor device, e.g. copper metallurgy or device dielectric. Thus, an improved aspect ratio for metal fill without introducing any excessive trapezoidal cross-sectional character to the defined metal receiving structures of the device will result.
