Abstract

Objects of the present invention are to provide a composition having excellent dissolving ability for a transition metal-containing substance (particularly, a Ru-containing substance) and to provide a method for treating a substrate. The composition according to an embodiment of the present invention contains at least one iodic acid compound selected from the group consisting of periodic acid, iodic acid, and salts thereof, and a compound represented by Formula (1).

Claims (33)

1 . A composition comprising:

at least one iodic acid compound selected from the group consisting of periodic acid, iodic acid, and salts thereof;

a chloride ion; and

a compound represented by Formula (1),

in Formula (1), R 1 to R 4 each independently represent an alkyl group which may have a substituent, R 1 to R 4 do not represent the same group all together, X n− represents a hydroxide ion, a chloride ion, or a fluoride ion, and n represents an integer of 1,

wherein a content of the compound represented by Formula (1) is 0.001% to 2.00% by mass with respect to the total mass of the composition, and

the compound represented by Formula (1) includes at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a diethyldimethylammonium salt, a methyltriethylammonium salt, a trimethyl(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salt, a methyltributylammonium salt, a dimethyldipropylammonium salt, a benzyltrimethylammonium salt, a benzyltriethylammonium salt, a triethyl(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salt, a methyltri(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salt, a benzyltrimethylammonium salt, a triethyl(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salt, a bishydroxyethyldimethylammonium salt, a trimethylpropylammonium salt, an isopropyltrimethylammonium salt, a butyltrimethylammonium salt, a triethylpropylammonium salt, an isopropyltriethylammonium salt, a butyltriethylammonium salt, a methyltripropylammonium salt, an ethyltripropylammonium salt, a butyltripropylammonium salt, an ethyltributylammonium salt, a propyltributylammonium salt, a diisopropyldimethylammonium salt, a dibutyldimethylammonium salt, a diethyldipropylammonium salt, a diethyldiisopropylammonium salt, a diethyldibutylammonium salt, an ethylmethylpropylbutylammonium salt, an ethylmethylisopropylbutylammonium salt, an ethylmethyldipropylammonium salt, an ethylmethyldiisopropylammonium salt, a dimethylbis(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium salt, a methyltris(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium salt, and an ethylmethyldibutylammonium salt.

2 . The composition according to claim 1 ,

wherein a content of the chloride ion is 1 ppt by mass to 1% by mass with respect to a total mass of the composition.

3 . The composition according to claim 2 ,

wherein a mass ratio of a content of the iodic acid compound to the content of the chloride ion is 1.0×10 4 or more.

4 . The composition according to claim 1 ,

wherein a mass ratio of a content of the iodic acid compound to the content of the chloride ion is 1.0×10 4 or more.

5 . The composition according to claim 1 ,

wherein a content of the iodic acid compound is 0.01% to 5.00% by mass with respect to a total mass of the composition.

6 . The composition according to claim 1 ,

wherein the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl group is 1 to 15.

7 . The composition according to claim 1 ,

wherein the total number of carbon atoms in R 1 to R 4 in Formula (1) is 4 to 15.

8 . The composition according to claim 1 ,

wherein the compound represented by Formula (1) includes at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a diethyldimethylammonium salt, a methyltriethylammonium salt, a trimethyl(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salt, a dimethylbis(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium salt, a methyltris(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium salt, a methyltributylammonium salt, a dimethyldipropylammonium salt, a benzyltrimethylammonium salt, a benzyltriethylammonium salt, and a triethyl(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salt.

9 . The composition according to claim 1 ,

wherein a pH of the composition is 3.0 to 9.0.

10 . The composition according to claim 1 ,

wherein a pH of the composition is 4.0 to 8.0.

11 . The composition according to claim 1 ,

wherein the composition is used for removing a ruthenium-containing substance on a substrate.

12 . The composition according to claim 1 ,

wherein the compound represented by Formula (1) includes at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a trimethyl(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salt, a dimethylbis(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium salt, a methyltris(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium salt, a methyltributylammonium salt, a dimethyldipropylammonium salt, a benzyltriethylammonium salt, and a triethyl(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salt.

13 . A method for treating a substrate, comprising:

a step A of removing a ruthenium-containing substance on a substrate by using the composition according to claim 1 .

14 . The method for treating a substrate according to claim 13 ,

wherein the step A is a step A1 of performing a recess etching treatment on a ruthenium-containing wiring line disposed on a substrate by using the composition, a step A2 of removing a ruthenium-containing film at an outer edge portion of a substrate, on which the ruthenium-containing film is disposed, by using the composition, a step A3 of removing a ruthenium-containing substance attached to a back surface of a substrate, on which a ruthenium-containing film is disposed, by using the composition, a step A4 of removing a ruthenium-containing substance on a substrate, which has undergone dry etching, by using the composition, or a step A5 of removing a ruthenium-containing substance on a substrate, which has undergone a chemical mechanical polishing treatment, by using the composition.
