    Abstract: A method of forming a via in a low-k dielectric material and without the attendant via poisoning problem, or a dual damascene structure formed in the same dielectric and without the same problem are disclosed. The vertical walls of the via opening are first lined with a low-k protection layer and then covered with a barrier layer in order to prevent outgassing from the low-k dielectric material when copper is deposited into the via opening. In the case of a dual damascene structure, it is sufficient that the hole opening underlying the trench opening is first lined with the low-k protection layer. The resulting via or dual damascene structure is free of poisoned metal and, therefore, more reliable.

    Abstract: A method is provided for selectively depositing a silicided metal diffusion barrier layer in a semiconductor structure to reduce an electrical contact resistance with respect to an underlying copper layer while maintaining a copper diffusion resistance along the semiconductor feature sidewalls including depositing a metal nitride layer over the feature under conditions according to a CVD process such that the metal nitride layer has a relatively higher deposition rate onto feature sidewalls for a period of time compared to a deposition rate over the copper underlayer; and, exposing the metal nitride layer to a silicon containing gaseous ambient under conditions such that silicon is incorporated into the metal nitride layer to form a silicided metal nitride layer having a thickness over the copper underlayer thinner by about 10 Angstroms to 60 Angstroms compared to the feature sidewall thickness.

    Abstract: A device and system for thin wafer cleaning is disclosed. A preferred embodiment comprises a spin chuck having at least three holding clamps. A thin wafer with a wafer frame is mounted on the spin chuck through a tape layer. When the holding clamps are unlocked, there is no interference with the removal and placement of the wafer frame. On the other hand, when the holding clamps are locked, the holding clamps are brought into contact with the outer edge of the wafer frame so as to prevent the wafer frame from moving laterally. Furthermore, the shape of the holding clamps in a locked position is capable of preventing the wafer frame from moving vertically.
