摘要:
A composite mask (5A, 6A) is formed by sequentially depositing blanket layers (5) and (6) of molybdenum and of a material respectively selected from the group consisting of MgO and Al 2 O 3 on the surface of a copper layer (3), and producing in these layers (5) and (6) a pattern of openings corresponding to the negative of the desired copper pattern (3). Using said mask (5A, 6A) the portions of copper layer (3) exposed in said openings are removed, preferably by dry etching. MgO or Al 2 O 3 adhere well to Mo and Mo adheres well to copper. The Mo layer (5A) also serves as a diffusion barrier'for the copper. The method is applicable in forming copper interconnect metallurgy for components such as semiconductor or dielectric substrates.

摘要:
Aluminium microcircuits which have been prepared by reactive-ion etching are stablized against open circuits and short circuits by treating the microcircuits in an oxygen- containing atmosphere at a temperature of from 200°C to 450°C.
摘要:
Laser induced fluorescence is utilized to detect the reactive ion etch-through of a given layer in a wafer by detecting a large change in the concentration of a wafer selected minor species from the wafer in the etching plasma. This selected minor species must be present in a significantly different concentration in the etched given layer compared to any of the other layers in the wafer in order to provide a proper endpoint detection. In one embodiment, when the large change in the selected minor species concentration is detected, then the RF electrodes for the reactor are de-energized.
摘要:
The package has at least two levels of conductive interconnected patterns (26, 50A. 50B). The insulation containing the metal filled via openings (36) between the different levels consists of a lower layer (30) of an electrically insulating organic polymer and an overlying oxygen plasma resistant inorganic insulating layer (23). In the formation of the interconnection metallurgy inorganic insulating layer (23) prohibits overetching in producing the hole pattern in the organic insulating layer (42) laterally surrounding the conductive pattern (50A, 50B) in the next level. The entirety of the insulation between the levels is thus ensured.
摘要:
Aluminium-based alloy films and metallization layers that are patterned by reactive ion etching (RIE) are passivated by etching surface portions of the films or layers with a phosphoric-chromic mixture to remove contaminants and then oxidizing the exposed surface portions in an oxygen atmosphere.
