摘要: A method for processing a substrate includes forming a patterned layer over the substrate, the layer including an opening, where a surface of the opening includes a sidewall and a bottom wall. The method includes processing the patterned layer with an anisotropic process by generating a flux of gas clusters over the substrate in a first process chamber, where the gas clusters include radical precursors; exposing the substrate to the flux of gas clusters. The method includes sustaining plasma including ions in a second process chamber; and exposing the substrate to the ions by directing the ions toward the bottom wall of the opening.

摘要: A vacuum transfer device, which is arranged between a process chamber and a load lock chamber and transfers a substrate between the process chamber and the load lock chamber, includes a container, a transfer device, an exhaust device, a dew-point meter, and a control device. The container is connected to each of the process chamber and the load lock chamber via a gate valve. The transfer device is provided inside the container and transfers the substrate between the process chamber and the load lock chamber. The exhaust device exhausts a gas in the container. The dew-point meter measures a dew-point temperature of the gas in the container. The control device determines whether a process is ready to be executed, based on the dew-point temperature measured by the dew-point meter, and when the process is ready to be executed, notifies that fact to a user of the vacuum transfer device.

摘要: A substrate processing method of processing a combined substrate in which a first substrate and a second substrate are bonded to each other is provided. A device layer including multiple devices is formed on a front surface side of the first substrate. The substrate processing method includes forming a light leakage prevention layer by radiating first laser light to an oxygen-containing film formed between the device layer and a position where a modification layer serving as a starting point for separation of the first substrate is formed; forming the modification layer by radiating second laser light to an inside of the first substrate after the forming of the light leakage prevention layer; and separating the first substrate starting from the modification layer to thin the first substrate.

摘要: Technologies for plasma oxidation protection during hybrid bonding of semiconductor devices includes forming a blocking layer on a metallic bonding pad formed in a bonding surface of a semiconductor device to be bonded and performing a surface treatment on the bonding surface to increase the bonding strength of the bonding surface and contemporaneously remove the blocking layer from the metallic bonding pad. In an illustrative embodiment, the blocking layer is embodied as a self-assembled monolayer (SAM), and the surface treatment is embodied as a surface activation plasma (SAP) treatment. A diffusion barrier layer, such as a silicon carbon nitride layer, may form the bonding surface in some embodiments to reduce diffusion of the metallic bonding pad during an annealing treatment of the bonding process.
