Abstract
A cleaning liquid for lithography, and a method for forming a wiring using the cleaning liquid for lithography. The cleaning liquid for includes an alkali or an acid, a solvent, and a silicon compound generating a silanol group through hydrolysis. The method forms a metal wiring layer by embedding a metal in an etching space formed in a low dielectric constant layer of a semiconductor multilayer laminate. In this method, the semiconductor multilayer laminate is cleaned using the cleaning liquid for lithography, after formation of the etching space.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
