Abstract:
An objective of this invention is to reliably form a plating film. The following two steps are sequentially conducted: a first step of connecting a film-formation surface of a wafer 109 to a cathode electrode 107, making the film-formation surface inclined from the surface of a plating solution 103 and immersing the wafer 109 into the plating solution 103 with applying a first current between the cathode electrode 107 and an Cu anode electrode 105 disposed in the plating solution 103, and second step of, after immersing the film-formation surface in the plating solution 103, applying a second current between the cathode electrode 107 and the Cu anode electrode 105 to form a metal film on the film-formation surface by electrolytic plating. In the first step, the first current is controlled on the basis of an inclination angle between the liquid surface and the film-formation surface.
Abstract:
To provide a thin film capacitor having a device structure for suppressing peeling between an insulating film and a substrate. A thin film capacitor 100 has a laminate structure that is formed by laminating a lower electrode 20, a dielectric film 30, and an upper electrode 40 in sequence on a substrate 10. An adhesion layer 41 is formed on a side surface of the lower electrode 20 via the dielectric film 30, and an insulating film 50 in contact with the adhesion layer 41 covers the laminate structure. According to this device structure, the adhesion layer 41 having excellent adhesiveness to the insulating film 50 is disposed between the insulating film 50 and the dielectric film 30, so that peeling of the insulating film 50 can be suppressed.

A manufacturing method of a light-emitting element includes emitting a laser light to a division region for separating a light-emitting element formed on a substrate, physically dividing the substrate along the division region, and removing a surface layer on at least one of the side faces of the substrate that is exposed by the dividing of the substrate.
Abstract:
In a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, insulation resistance of the porous film is stabilized, and leakage current between adjacent interconnects provides an improved reliability in signal propagation therethrough. The method includes: sequentially forming over a semiconductor substrate a porous film and a patterned resist film; forming a concave exposed surface of the substrate; forming a non-porous film covering the interior wall of the concave portion and the porous film; selectively removing the non-porous film from the bottom of the concave portion and the non-porous film by anisotropic etch; forming a barrier metal film covering the porous film and the interior wall; and forming a metallic film on the barrier metal film to fill the concave portion. The anisotropic etch process uses an etching gas with mixing ratio MR, 45≦MR≦100, where MR=((gaseous “nitrogen” containing compound)+(inert gas))/(gaseous “fluorine” containing compound).
Abstract:
A thin-film device incorporates a device main body and four terminal electrodes. The device main body has four side surfaces. The terminal electrodes are disposed to touch respective portions of the side surfaces. The device main body includes a lower conductor layer used to form a first passive element and an upper conductor layer used to form a second passive element. At each side surface of the device main body, an end face of the lower conductor layer and an end face of the upper conductor layer are electrically and physically connected to each other. The terminal electrodes touch the end faces of the lower and upper conductor layers, and are thereby connected to the lower and upper conductor layers.
