摘要:
A film formation method for manufacture of a semiconductor device includes the steps of forming a first metal film as a continuous film on a substrate, forming a second metal film as discontinuous films on the substrate formed with the first metal film, and forming a third metal film by plating on the substrate formed with the first and second metal films.
摘要:
A groove or hole is formed in an insulating layer formed on a semiconductor substrate, and a first conductive layer including a first metal element is formed on a surface of the insulating layer. By oxidizing the first conductive layer, an oxide layer of the first metal element is formed on a surface of the first conductive layer. A second conductive layer including a second metal element having a free energy of oxide formation lower than that of the first metal element is deposited thereon. By reducing the oxide layer of the first metal element by the second metal element, an oxide layer of the second metal element is formed at the interface between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer. Further, an interconnection is buried in the groove or hole of the insulating layer. Thereby, a thin second metal oxide layer having excellent barrier properties against an interconnection material and excellent adhesion to the interconnection material can be selectively formed with a uniform thickness on the surface of the first conductive layer used as a barrier metal layer of the interconnection.

The present invention relates to a simple, low cost planarization technique whereby physical pressure is used to planarize the surface of a semiconductor device. The method of the present invention planarizes a semiconductor workpiece surface and results in an increase in the productivity of the processing steps that follow. In effect, the present invention applies physical pressure to flatten the surface layers of a semiconductor workpiece. The present invention is particularly adapted for use in planarizing surface layers made of plastic materials.

A method for the formation of a thin, high melting-point metal film such as W, on a substrate surface, by means of CVD, is disclosed herein. In this method, the inner wall of the CVD reaction tube and the surface of the at least part of the fittings disposed therewithin are covered with a metal nitride film, in the process of performing the CVD operation. The method permits the formation of a high quality film, and also prevents the deposition of the high melting-point metal on the inner wall of the reaction chamber, even if the CVD operation is repeatedly performed over a long period of time.

A single crystal semiconductor layer of a first conduction type is disposed on a surface of a semiconductor substrate. A plurality of trenches are provided in the semiconductor layer to form a plurality of first semiconductor regions of the first conduction type at intervals in a direction parallel to the surface. An epitaxial layer is buried in the plurality of trenches to form a plurality of second semiconductor regions of a second conduction type. The plurality of second semiconductor regions each includes an outer portion with a high impurity concentration formed against an inner wall of the trench, and an inner portion with a low impurity concentration formed inner than the outer portion.

A semiconductor device comprises a semiconductor layer which includes a terminate end part and a cell formation part that is surrounded by this end part, and a plurality of guard rings each of which is formed at the end part to surround the cell formation part. These guard rings are made shallower and smaller in width as they get near to the guard ring that resides at the outside position.
摘要:
An apparatus and a method for processing substrate are generally used for apparatuses for wet-type process of substrate, such as an electrolytic processing apparatus for use in forming interconnects by embedding a metal such as copper (Cu) or the like in fine interconnect patterns (recesses) that are formed in a substrate such as a semiconductor wafer and for use in forming bumps for electrical connections. The substrate processing apparatus includes: a substrate holder for holding a substrate; a first electrode for contacting the substrate to supply electricity to a processing surface of the substrate; a second electrode disposed so as to face the processing surface of the substrate held by the substrate holder; and a processing liquid supply section for supplying a processing liquid into the space between the processing surface of the substrate held by the substrate holder and the second electrode, wherein the substrate holder is designed to rotate the substrate during processing in such a manner that acceleration and slowdown and/or normal rotation and reverse rotation are repeated.

A method of forming a cap film comprises a first polishing step of performing a polishing operation at selectivity of R1 (=removal rate for the cap film/removal rate for the insulating film), and a second polishing step of performing a polishing operation at selectivity of R2 (=removal rate for the cap film/removal rate for the insulating film). Each of the polishing operations is performed by using a slurry having the condition of R1>R2. By performing the polishing operations at different selectivity, the cap film free from problems such as dishing of the cap film and the residual cap film on side walls of a recess is formed. Consequently, a semiconductor device having an excellent RC characteristic can be provided.
