摘要:
A CMP apparatus is used to subject a target surface of a semiconductor wafer to a polishing treatment, by moving the target surface and a polishing surface of a polishing cloth relative to each other while supplying a polishing liquid between the target surface and the polishing surface. Electric resistance is measured between pairs of measuring points arranged on opposite sides of dicing lines on the target surface, while subjecting the target surface to the polishing treatment. The polishing treatment is caused to be ended by comparing detected values of a changing rate in measured values of the electric property with a reference value set to correspond to an end point of the polishing treatment.

In a method for determining an end of cleaning of a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus according to the invention, when the interior of a semiconductor substrate process chamber of the semiconductor manufacturing apparatus is cleaned by dry etching using plasma discharge, a constant current or voltage is supplied from a high-frequency power source to discharge electrodes during plasma discharge, an impedance between the electrodes or a temperature in the process chamber is monitored, a time point at which the impedance or temperature is abruptly changed is detected, and this time point of detection is determined to be an end of cleaning.

A method for manufacturing semiconductor devices comprising the steps of forming a first wiring pattern including first and second lower layers on a semiconductor body, forming an insulation film which covers the first wiring pattern, forming a first hole of 1.5 .mu.m and a second hole of 3 .mu.m in first and second areas of the insulation film which lie over the first and second lower layers, forming a second wiring pattern having first and second upper layers respectively connected to the first and second lower layers via the first and second holes. In the method, the hole formation step includes the substeps of forming a resist film which covers the insulation film, forming a resist pattern by effecting the photolithographic process of exposing the insulation film to light by using a mask pattern having a first hole defining area of 1.5 .mu.m and a second hole defining area of 2.4 .mu.m, and etching the insulation film with the resist pattern used as a mask. The exposing light amount used in the resist pattern formation substep is previously determined so that the size of the first hole can be set equal to that of the first hole defining area, and the reduced amount of the second hole defining area is previously determined so that the size of the second hole obtained under the determined exposing light amount can be set to 3 .mu.m.

摘要:
A recess is formed in the surface area of a layer-insulation film by an isotropic etching process, and a hole is formed in the recess by a first anisotropic etching process. After this, a second anisotropic etching process is effected to taper the hole to remove an edge portion at the opening of the recess, the boundary portion between the recess and the side wall formed by the anisotropic etching process, and the vertical side wall of the hole. A wiring metal layer is formed on part of the layer-insulation film and in the hole.
