TiN metal hardmask has been used to improve etch selectivity to low-k materials and thereby gain better profile control. For 14 nm and smaller technology nodes, it is required that the TiN hardmask is completely removed in order to improve the aspect ratio for subsequent reliable metal deposition. Thus, a chemical cleaning formulation with high TiN etch selectivity toward Cu and low-k is required.
