    摘要: A method of removing post-etch residues is provided. First, a substrate is provided. An isolation layer covers the substrate and a conductive layer is embedded in the isolation layer. A dielectric layer and a hard mask cover the isolation layer. Then, an etching process is performed, and a patterned hard mask is formed by etching the hard mask by ions or atoms. After that, a charge-removing process is performed by using a conductive solution to cleaning the patterned hard mask and the dielectric layer so as to remove the charges accumulated on the patterned hard mask and the dielectric layer during the etch process. Finally, the post-etch residues on the patterned hard mask and the dielectric layer is removed.

    摘要: A method for filling a metal is disclosed. First, a substrate is provided. The substrate includes a metal material layer, a dielectric layer covering the metal material layer and a hard mask layer covering the dielectric layer. The hard mask layer has at least one opening to expose the underlying dielectric layer. Second, a dry etching step is performed to etch the dielectric layer through the opening to remove part of the dielectric layer to expose the metal material layer and to form a recess and leave some residues in the recess. Then a cleaning step is performed to remove the residues and to selectively remove part of the hard mask to substantially enlarge the opening. Later, a metal fills the recess through the enlarged opening.

    摘要: Disclosed is a semiconductor manufacturing process, in which a fluorine radical-containing plasma is used to etch a hard mask and a layer therebeneath; and a treatment is carried out using a gas reactive to fluorine radicals for reacting with residual fluorine radicals to form a fluorine-containing compound and remove it. Thus, precipitates formed by the reaction of fluorine radicals and titanium components existing in the hard mask to cause a process defect can be avoided.
