Abstract

See full text

Processes are described to etch metals. In an embodiment, a process may include contacting a substrate with a stripping solution to remove photoresist from the substrate to produce a stripped substrate. The stripped substrate may include a plurality of solder pillars and a plurality of metal-containing field regions disposed around the plurality of solder pillars. In an illustrative embodiment, the plurality field regions may include copper. Additionally, the process may include rinsing the stripped substrate to produce a rinsed substrate. The rinsed substrate may be substantially free of a Sn layer or a Sn oxide layer. Further, the process may include contacting the rinsed substrate with an etch solution that is capable of removing an amount of one or more metals from the plurality of field regions.
