    摘要: A dual contact ring for contacting a patterned surface of a wafer and electrochemical plating of a metal on the patterned central region of the wafer and removing the metal from the outer, edge region of the wafer. The dual contact ring has an outer voltage ring in contact with the outer, edge region of the wafer and an inner voltage ring in contact with the inner, central region of the wafer. The outer voltage ring is connected to a positive voltage source and the inner voltage ring is connected to a negative voltage source. The inner voltage ring applies a negative voltage to the wafer to facilitate the plating of metal onto the patterned region of the wafer. A positive voltage is applied to the wafer through the outer voltage ring to remove the plated metal from the outer, edge region of the substrate.

    摘要: An improved damascene process for fabricating a semiconductor device. A dielectric layer comprising at least both fluorine and nitrogen is formed overlying a substrate, in which a nitrogen content in the dielectric layer is about 5% to 10%. The dielectric layer is subsequently pattered to form at least one damascene opening therein. A metal layer is formed overlying the dielectric layer and fills the damascene opening. The excess metal layer on the dielectric layer is removed to leave the metal layer in the damascene opening. A semiconductor device with the same damascene structure is also disclosed.

    摘要: A method suitable for cleaning the interior surfaces of a process chamber is disclosed. The invention is particularly effective in removing silicon nitride and silicon dioxide residues from the interior surfaces of a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) chamber. The method includes reacting nitrous oxide (N2O) gas with nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) gas in a plasma to generate nitric oxide (NO) and fluoride (F) radicals. Due to the increased density of nitric oxide radicals generated from the nitrous oxide, the etch and removal rate of the residues on the interior surfaces of the chamber is enhanced. Consequently, the quantity of nitrogen trifluoride necessary to efficiently and expeditiously carry out the chamber cleaning process is reduced.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method of protecting a fresh metal surface, preferably copper, after a metal deposition step. The metal deposition is preferably part of single or dual damascene process. The metal surface is treated with an amine, preferably BTA, to form a metal complex that is a hydrophobic monolayer and prevents the underlying metal from reacting to form oxides that can degrade device performance. The amine can be applied in various ways including dipping, spraying, spin coating, and by a CVD method. The sacrificial protective layer can remain on the substrate during a storage period of up to hours or days before it is removed in a subsequent chemical mechanical polish step. The use of a sacrificial protective layer improves throughput in a damascene process by allowing long queue times between metal deposition and CMP which gives more flexibility to production flow and reduces cost.

    摘要: A method for capping over a copper layer. A copper layer is deposited overlying a substrate. The copper surface is treated with hydrogen-containing plasma to remove copper oxides formed thereon, thereby suppressing copper hillock formation. The treated copper surface is treated again with nitrogen-containing plasma to improve adhesion of the copper surface. A capping layer is formed on the copper layer.
