    摘要: A wafer carrier assembly for a chemical mechanical polishing apparatus and a polishing method using the same are provided. The present wafer carrier assembly comprises a first plate, a second plate and a flexible membrane. The first plate has a plurality of protrusions formed on a bottom surface thereof and the second plate has a plurality of apertures passing through. Each of the protrusions is matched with one of the apertures to enable the first plate and the second plate to detachably combine together. The flexible membrane is positioned under the second plate and contacts it. A surface of the flexible membrane opposite to the surface of the flexible membrane contacting the second plate provides a wafer-receiving surface.

    摘要: A method for fabricating an interconnect structure in a semiconductor device. A masking layer is formed on a dielectric layer formed on a substrate, having at least one opening. The opening is transferred into the dielectric layer. A Plasma stripping process is performed to remove the masking layer, such that a damaged sidewall portion of the dielectric layer surrounding the opening therein is formed. The opening in the dielectric layer is filled with a conductive element. The damaged sidewall portion of the dielectric layer is removed to form a gap between the dielectric layer and the conductive element, wherein substances from removal of the damaged sidewall portion of the dielectric layer are formed on the conductive element. The substances are removed using a citric acid solution.
