In order to clean a semiconductor device having a dielectric layer deposited on a top surface of a lower metal wiring of the semiconductor device, and a contact hole or a via hole formed in the dielectric layer to expose the lower metal line therethrough, the semiconductor device is located within a radio frequency (RF) cleaning chamber. A gas mixture of HCl and H2O is introduced into the RF cleaning chamber and Ar gas plasma is generated in the RF cleaning chamber to excite HCl gas so that the HCl gas and an excited HCl gas are used to remove carbon radicals and metal particles.
摘要:
A semiconductor device including a conductive layer, a diffusion barrier layer formed over the conductive layer, including a refractory metal compound, and acquired after a surface treatment, and a metal silicide layer formed over the diffusion barrier layer. The adhesion between a diffusion barrier layer and a metal silicide layer may be improved by increasing the surface energy of the diffusion barrier layer through a surface treatment. Therefore, although the metal silicide layer is fused in a high-temperature process, it is possible to prevent a void from being caused at the interface between the diffusion barrier layer and the metal silicide layer. Moreover, it is possible to increase the adhesion between a conductive layer and the diffusion barrier layer by increasing the surface energy of the conductive layer through the surface treatment.

摘要:
Semiconductor devices and methods to form a contact of a semiconductor device are disclosed. An example method to form a contact includes forming an insulating layer on a substrate; etching the insulating layer to form a contact hole; depositing a silicon layer on sidewalls and an undersurface of the contact hole; forming a silicon spacer on the sidewalls of the contact hole by etching the silicon layer; transforming the silicon spacer to a silicon nitride spacer; depositing a diffusion barrier on the silicon nitride spacer; and filling the contact hole with tungsten. Because the silicon nitride spacer formed on the sidewalls of the contact hole can serve as a leakage current blocking layer, the yield and the reliability of the semiconductor devices manufactured by this example process are enhanced.

摘要:
A method of fabricating a non-volatile memory device includes forming a tunneling layer and a conductive layer on a semiconductor substrate, and patterning the conductive layer, the tunneling layer, and the semiconductor substrate to form a conductive pattern, a tunneling pattern, and a trench in the semiconductor substrate. The method also includes filling the trench with a insulating material, and exposing a partial sidewall of the conductive pattern. The method further includes recessing the exposed partial sidewall of the conductive pattern in an inward direction to form a floating gate. The floating gate includes a base portion and a protruding portion having a width smaller than that of the base portion. The method also includes etching the insulating layer to form an isolation layer that exposes the base portion of the floating gate. Still further, the method includes forming a dielectric layer, that extends along the base and protruding portions of the floating gate, and a control gate that covers the base and protruding portions of the floating gate.
