摘要:
A semiconductor device has a multilayered structure that includes an insulating interlayer formed on a lower wiring layer, a semiconductor substrate, and a via hole. The semiconductor device is manufactured by a method that includes plasma etching at least one surface of the insulating interlayer the in an atmosphere having as a major component either a carbonless, chlorine-based gas or a carbonless, chlorine-based gas and an inactive gas in order to remove contaminates that would otherwise promote reactivity with aluminum CVD on the surface of the insulating interlayer.

A multilevel interconnect structure for use in a semiconductor device includes a lower metal wiring having an aluminum or aluminum alloy film and a high melting point metal or high melting point metal alloy film. An interlayer insulating film is deposited on the lower metal wiring and a via hole is formed in the interlayer insulating film. A plug made of aluminum or aluminum alloy is formed in the via hole. An upper metal wiring has an aluminum or aluminum alloy film and a high melting point metal or high melting point metal alloy film. The plug directly contacts the aluminum or aluminum alloy film of at least one of the lower and upper metal wirings to decrease the via resistance without reducing the electromigration reliability.

A semiconductor memory device is disclosed, which is supplied with power from a power supply and which includes memory cells and a sense amplifier connected to the cells via bit lines. The memory device further includes a circuit for enabling the sense amplifier in response to a supplied enable signal, and for allowing the sense amplifier to rewrite cell data, read on the bit lines, into the memory cell again in self-refresh mode. The enabling circuit incorporates a noise suppression circuit which suppresses rapid changes in an operation current flowing between the power supply and the sense amplifier in order to minimize power supply related noise.

A joint connector has a notch for exposing an outer peripheral surface of a bus bar-containing holder to the exterior when the holder is fitted in a holder receiving chamber is formed in a peripheral wall of the holder receiving chamber. Steps are formed at the outer peripheral surface of the bus bar containing holder, each of the steps being located at the notch when the bus bar-containing holder is fitted in the holder receiving chamber, thereby enabling the lifting of the bus bar-containing holder. A step is provided at the notch, so that the notch has a stair-like configuration. A plurality of notches and a plurality of pairs of steps are provided at the peripheral wall of the holder receiving chamber and the outer peripheral surface of the bus bar-containing holder, respectively.

Described is a method for manufacturing semiconductor devices which includes a heat treating process for heating and cooling semiconductor substrates mounted on a boat at a predetermined pitch according to a predetermined temperature profile, in order to flatten the surface of each semiconductor substrate by reflowing an insulating film containing impurities, for example, a BPSG film formed on the substrate. In the heat treating process, one of the control factors which affects the formation of grains or particles due to the impurities contained in the insulating film is set so as to prevent the impurities from generating grains or particles during the heat treatment. Also disclosed is a method of preventing the generation of grains or particles by widening the pitch of the mounted substrates.

A vulcanizing apparatus including a cylindrical vulcanizing drum for winding and molding unvulcanized rubber belt materials thereover, the vulcanizing drum being removably and rotatably supported on a transfer mechanism. A pair of endless pressurizing bands are arranged to oppose each other with the vulcanizing drum between, the pressurizing bands arcuately surrounding and pressing the corresponding portions of the circumferential surface of the vulcanizing drum. While the circumferential surface of the vulcanizing drum is heated inside, and the respective pressurizing bands are opposingly pressed against the vulcanizing drum, the respective pressurizing bands are synchronously rotated so as to turn the vulcanizing drum and continuously vulcanize the unvulcanized rubber belt molding on the drum.

An electrical terminal is for use in an automotive wire harness connector. The electrical terminal has a conductor crimping portion for crimping the conductor of an electrical wire and a stabilizer which crimps the insulation coating of the electrical wire and prevents rolling of the electrical terminal. The stabilizer has a bottom plate which is partly cut to form an aperture, the portions of the bottom plate defining both ends of the aperture being bent and raised inward so as to enhance the crimping force on the insulation coating of the electrical wire.
