    摘要: An electrolyte solution, methods, and systems for selectively removing a conductive metal from a substrate are provided. The electrolyte solution comprising nanoparticles that are more noble than the conductive metal being removed, is applied to a substrate to remove the conductive metal selectively relative to a dielectric material without application of an external potential or contact of a processing pad with the surface of the substrate. The solutions and methods can be applied, for example, to remove a conductive metal layer (e.g., barrier metal) selectively relative to dielectric material and to a materially different conductive metal (e.g., copper interconnect) without application of an external potential or contact of a processing pad with the surface of the substrate.

    摘要: The invention encompasses a semiconductor processing method of cleaning a surface of a copper-containing material by exposing the surface to an acidic mixture comprising Cl−, NO3− and F−. The invention also includes a semiconductor processing method of forming an opening to a copper-containing substrate. Initially, a mass is formed over the copper-containing substrate. The mass comprises at least one of a silicon nitride and a silicon oxide. An opening is etched through the mass and to the copper-containing substrate. A surface of the copper-containing substrate defines a base of the opening, and is referred to as a base surface. The base surface of the copper-containing substrate is at least partially covered by at least one of a copper oxide, a silicon oxide or a copper fluoride. The base surface is cleaned with a cleaning solution comprising hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid to remove at least some of the at least one of a copper oxide, a silicon oxide or a copper fluoride from over the base surface.

    摘要: For releasable connection of a first apparatus (e.g. an electric cable) to a second apparatus (e.g. an electric switch) for conductive communication therebetween, a connector comprises a plug (1), a socket (2), an over-center buckle (14-17) and an "O"-ring (19), the latter being housed in said socket (2) and arranged to be compressed in the course of, the engagement of said plug and socket as effected by displacement of said buckle. The "O" ring upon compression tends to resile in a sense to displace the buckle towards its engaged state. This provides both the requisite locking between the plug and the socket, and also a seal against the ingress of moisture into the socket. Interengaging contacts (7,11) are each carried on a non-conductive carrier member (23,27), the carrier members having resilient tongues and lips (24,25,28,29) for retention in the plug and socket respectively by snap action over a step (26,30) within body portions (9,12) of the plug and socket respectively.

    摘要: Differently-sized features of an integrated circuit are formed by etching a substrate using a mask which is formed by combining two separately formed patterns. Pitch multiplication is used to form the relatively small features of the first pattern and conventional photolithography used to form the relatively large features of the second pattern. Pitch multiplication is accomplished by patterning a photoresist and then etching that pattern into an amorphous carbon layer. Sidewall spacers are then formed on the sidewalls of the amorphous carbon. The amorphous carbon is removed, leaving behind the sidewall spacers, which define the first mask pattern. A bottom anti-reflective coating (BARC) is then deposited around the spacers to form a planar surface and a photoresist layer is formed over the BARC. The photoresist is next patterned by conventional photolithography to form the second pattern, which is then is transferred to the BARC. The combined pattern made out by the first pattern and the second pattern is transferred to an underlying amorphous silicon layer and the pattern is subjected to a carbon strip to remove BARC and photoresist material. The combined pattern is then transferred to the silicon oxide layer and then to an amorphous carbon mask layer. The combined mask pattern, having features of difference sizes, is then etched into the underlying substrate through the amorphous carbon hard mask layer.
