Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An object of the present invention is to provide a treatment liquid for manufacturing a semiconductor, a pattern forming method using the same, and a method of manufacturing an electronic device using the same. The treatment liquid for manufacturing a semiconductor comprising: one kind or two or more kinds of metal atoms selected from Cu, Fe, and Zn, wherein a total content of particulate metal including at least one kind of the metal atoms is 0.01 to 100 mass ppt with respect to a total mass of the treatment liquid for manufacturing a semiconductor.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A treatment liquid for manufacturing a semiconductor comprising: one kind or two or more kinds of metal atoms selected from Cu, Fe, and Zn, wherein a total content of particulate metal including at least one kind of the metal atoms is 0.01 to 100 mass ppt with respect to a total mass of the treatment liquid for manufacturing a semiconductor. 2. The treatment liquid for manufacturing a semiconductor according to claim 1 , wherein a mass of the particulate metal is measured by a SP-ICP-MS method. 3. The treatment liquid for manufacturing a semiconductor according to claim 1 , which is a developer or a rinsing liquid. 4. The treatment liquid for manufacturing a semiconductor according to claim 1 , comprising: a quaternary ammonium salt. 5. The treatment liquid for manufacturing a semiconductor according to claim 1 , further comprising: at least one selected from the group consisting of butyl acetate, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, isopropanol, ethanol, and methyl isobutyl carbinol. 6. A pattern forming method comprising: a step of applying an actinic ray-sensitive or radiation-sensitive resin composition to a substrate to form an actinic ray-sensitive or radiation-sensitive film; a step of exposing the actinic ray-sensitive or radiation-sensitive film; and a step of treating the substrate or the actinic ray-sensitive or radiation-sensitive film using the treatment liquid for manufacturing a semiconductor according to claim 1 . 7. The pattern forming method according to claim 6 , wherein the pattern forming method comprises at least a step of developing the actinic ray-sensitive or radiation-sensitive film by using the treatment liquid for manufacturing a semiconductor as a developer as the step of treating the substrate or the actinic ray-sensitive or radiation-sensitive film using the treatment liquid for manufacturing a semiconductor. 8. The pattern forming method according to claim 6 , wherein the pattern forming method comprises at least a step of cleaning the actinic ray-sensitive or radiation-sensitive film by using the treatment liquid for manufacturing a semiconductor as a rinsing liquid as the step of treating the substrate or the actinic ray-sensitive or radiation-sensitive film using the treatment liquid for manufacturing a semiconductor. 9. A method of manufacturing an electronic device comprising: the pattern forming method according to claim 6 .
