Abstract
In this paper, the result of the evaluation performed on possible etchants for Ta-based Cu barrier, ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) + hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and potassium hydroxide (KOH) + hydrogen peroxide solutions (H2O2) and their appropriate concentration/combination is presented with recommended etching parameters.
