    摘要: A resist pattern forming method according to this invention is characterized by forming a resist film to have different thicknesses in one region and the other region in accordance with the pattern size or pattern density of a photomask. The resist pattern forming method according to this invention is characterized by selectively forming a resist film in part of a substrate region by applying a resist in part of the region without applying the resist in the remaining region. The resist pattern forming method according to this invention is characterized by selectively forming a resist film on part of a substrate on the basis of the intensity of exposure light observed at the resist film.

    摘要: A silicon film is deposited using low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) to fill in openings formed in a substrate such as an insulating film. An aluminum film and a metal film are then formed on the silicon film. A thermal process is then carried out. This thermal process causes the deposited aluminum to replace the silicon in the openings because the silicon migrates to the metal and forms a metal silicide film. The aluminum which replaces the silicon in the openings has few or no voids. The metal silicide film any remaining portion of the aluminum film are then removed using CMP, for example.

    摘要: A drum-type polishing apparatus for producing a flat mirror polish on an object such as a semiconductor wafer, is capable of three degrees of freedom of movement of a drum member with respect to the wafer. The relative movements can be made, successively or simultaneously, at right angles to an axis of the drum, parallel to the surface of the wafer, as well as at any desired angular orientations. Combined with a follower device to provide automatic compensation for unevenness in pressing pressure applied to the wafer during polishing, the polishing apparatus offers outstanding uniformity in polishing quality and high productivity, even for large diameter wafers, with a comparatively modest investment in both facility space and equipment cost.

    摘要: A non-contact in-situ temperature measurement apparatus for a single crystal substrate such as a semiconductor wafer using X-ray diffraction. Utilizing the Bragg condition for X-ray diffraction, the lattice constant of the semiconductor substrate can be determined either by measuring the diffraction angle for a monochromatic X-ray (monochromatic approach) or by measuring the wavelength of an X-ray diffracted with a certain scattering angle (polychromatic approach). The lattice constant, as a well-known function of temperature, is finally converted into the temperature of the semiconductor substrate.

    摘要: An exposure mask having an excellent alignment accuracy between patterns, which is prepared by first forming on a light transmissive substrate a light shielding film or a semi-transparent film pattern (first pattern) somewhat larger than a desired dimension, forming thereon a semi-transparent film or a light transmissive film pattern (second pattern) so as to include all patterns of the desired dimensions made up of a light shielding part, a semi-transparent part and a light transmissive part, and then removing a projected part of the first pattern with use of the second pattern as a mask.The semi-transparent film is formed of at least two layers each of which contains a common element, thus the semi-transparent film can be made with use of the same apparatus and when patterning, etching process can be carried out with use of the same etchant.Further, since in a mask including the semi-transparent pattern, at least that area of a non-pattern zone where light reaches a wafer through the transfer, acts to shield the exposure light, too narrowed pattern or insufficient focal depth can be prevented.
