ABSTRACT:
A method for use in the manufacture of a microelectronic device is set forth. The method include to a first step in which a workpiece including exposed aluminum metallized surfaces and residues is provided. The workpiece, including the exposed aluminum metallized surfaces, is then treated with an alkaline, water-based solution containing one or more components that form an aluminosilicate on the exposed aluminum metallized surfaces. The solution reacts with the residues and assists in removing them from the workpiece. Preferably, the solution is comprised of DI water, and ammonium hydroxide based component, such as TMAH, silicic acid, and aluminum hydroxide.
