    摘要: A method of lowering the dielectric constant of an organosilicon low k dielectric layer while improving the hardness and thermal stability is provided. A deposited layer of carbon doped oxide, HSQ, or MSQ is cured and treated with a He plasma which improves hardness for a subsequent CMP step and lowers the dielectric constant. There is no loss of H2O or CH4 during the He treatment. The low k dielectric layer is then treated with a H2 plasma which converts some of the Si—O and Si—CH3 bonds near the surface to Si—H bonds, thereby further lowering the dielectric constant and increasing thermal stability that improves breakdown resistance. Moisture uptake is also reduced. The method is especially useful for interconnect schemes with deep sub-micron ground rules. Surprisingly, the k value obtained from two different plasma treatments is lower than when two He treatments or two H2 treatment are performed.

    摘要: Attenuated total reflectance (ATR)-Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) metal surface cleanliness monitoring is disclosed. A metal surface of a semiconductor die is impinged with an infrared (IR) beam, such as can be accomplished by using an ATR technique. The IR beam as reflected by the metal surface is measured. For instance, an interferogram of the reflected IR beam may be measured. A Fourier transform of the interferogram may also be performed, in accordance with an FTIR technique. To determine whether the metal surface is contaminated, the IR beam as reflected is compared to a reference sample. For example, the Fourier transform of the interferogram may be compared to the reference sample. If there is deviation by more than a threshold, the metal surface may be concluded as being contaminated.

    摘要: A water treating apparatus for raising oxygen solubility in high-purity drinking water includes a high pressure pump for conveying high-purity drinking water treated by an R. O. treatment, or a U. F. treatment, or a distillation treatment, or a purity treatment into a closed container. An ozone injecter injects ozone in the drinking water conveyed by the high pressure pump. A cooler affixed around the closed container cools the water stored therein to a preset value. A supersonic vibrator stirs the stored drinking water so as to raise oxygen solubility in the drinking water stored in the closed container, and to prolong period of time for sterilization.
