Abstract

The present invention is a new formulation and process for treating TiN semiconductor devices having a high aspect ratio structure formed thereon. The new composition is designed to be used in the chip making process between cleaning a wet etched memory device and its final rinse/drying process. It is intended to include the treatment in order to prevent collapse of the high aspect ratio TiN structure found on the semiconductor device.
