A method and low pH compositions for removing bulk and/or hardened photoresist material from microelectronic devices have been developed. The low pH compositions include sulfuric acid and at least one phosphorus-containing acid. The low pH compositions effectively remove the hardened photoresist material while not damaging the underlying silicon-containing layer(s) or the metal gate materials.

The composition of claim 1, wherein the sulfuric acid is concentrated. 3. The composition of claim 1, wherein the amount of sulfuric acid is in a range from about 50 wt % to about 99 wt %, based on the total weight of the composition. 4. The composition of claim 1, wherein the amount of phosphorus-containing acid is in a range from about 1 wt % to about 50 wt %, based on the total weight of the composition. 5. The composition of claim 1, further comprising at least one oxidizing agent, with the proviso that the at least one oxidizing agent cannot include hydrogen peroxide per se. 6. The composition of claim 5, wherein the at least one oxidizing agent comprises a species selected from the group consisting of periodic acid, a periodate salt, ammonium persulfate, perchloric acid, ammonium perchlorate, tetramethylammonium perchlorate, oxone (2KHSO5.KHSO4.K2SO4), ozone, a cerium (IV) salt, a cerium (IV) coordination complex, and combinations thereof. 7.

The method of claim 9, further comprising contacting the microelectronic device with a cerium-containing composition to effectuate additional removal of the resist. 11. The method of claim 10, further comprising contacting the microelectronic device with the first composition to complete the substantial removal of resist from the device. 12. The method of claim 9, further comprising rinsing the device. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the rinse comprises a water rinse followed by a SC-1 rinse, followed by a second rinse with DI water. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the SC-1 rinse comprises hydrogen peroxide, ammonium hydroxide and water. 15. The method of claim 9, wherein the composition does not substantially damage low-k dielectric materials or metal gate materials on the device surface. 16. The method of claim 9, wherein the resist is implanted with a dopant species selected from the group consisting of boron, boron difluoride, arsenic, indium, gallium, germanium, bismuth, xenon, phosphorus and antimony. 17. The method of claim 9, wherein the composition is combined just prior to contacting with the surface of the microelectronic device. 18.
