    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preventing corrosion of an aluminum-containing metallic layer having a plurality of trenches on the surface of a semiconductor chip caused by chlorine atoms residing on side walls of the trenches of the metallic layer after a trench etching process. The method comprises the following steps: (1) removing the photo resistance layer on top of the metallic layer by ashing at temperatures between 178.degree. C. and 200.degree. C. after a trench etching process, (2) using an acidic solution comprising hydroxylamine (NH.sub.2 OH), hydroquinone C.sub.6 H.sub.4 (OH).sub.2, monoethanolanine (HOCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 NH.sub.2) and water to wash off residues on the surface of the semiconductor chip, and (3) heating the semiconductor chip for a predetermined time period at temperatures between 200.degree. C. and 250.degree. C. so as to completely dissipate the chlorine atoms resided on the side walls of the metallic layer for preventing recurrent corrosion of an aluminum-containing metallic layer.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a monitor method for quality of metal Antireflection Coating (ARC) layer and, more particularly, to a fast and accurate monitor method for quality of metal ARC layer. By using of immersing a silicon wafer comprising an ARC layer into an acidic (such as a developer) or an alkalescent solution for about 200-300 seconds, according to the present invention, at weak points of the metal ARC layer there occur voids (defects) due to a Galvanic cell effect enhanced by these chemical solutions and then how many defects can be counted by a wafer defect inspector such as a KLA instrument so that quality of the metal ARC layer can be monitored by this defect number. Besides, Since the silicon wafer used as a sample for the wafer defect inspector simply comes from a production line, i.e. a developing process, rather than from other additional processing, said method allows for fast and accurately monitoring quality of the metal ARC layers.
