According to the present invention, high-k film can be etched to provide a desired geometry without damaging the silicon underlying material. A silicon oxide film 52 is formed on a silicon substrate 50 by thermal oxidation, and a high dielectric constant insulating film 54 comprising HfSiOx is formed thereon. Thereafter, polycrystalline silicon layer 56 and high dielectric constant insulating film 54 are selectively removed in stages by a dry etching through a mask of the resist layer 58, and subsequently, the residual portion of the high dielectric constant insulating film 54 and the silicon oxide film 52 are selectively removed by wet etching through a mask of polycrystalline silicon layer 56. A liquid mixture of phosphoric acid and sulfuric acid is employed for the etchant solution. The temperature of the etchant solution is preferably equal to or lower than 200 degree C., and more preferably equal to or less than 180 degree C.

An oxide film formed on the surface of copper film of an electrode pad is cleaned by oxalic acid after unevenness is formed on the surface of copper film by treating the surface with organic acid. Thereby, stable resistance is obtained when carrying out a characteristic inspection by bringing a probe into contact with the electrode pad, and it is easily recognized by observation through a microscope that the probe is brought into contact with the electrode pad. In addition, wettability with respect to solder is satisfactory, and it is possible to favorably form a solder bump on the electrode pad.

The invention provides a semiconductor washing solution which can suppress occurrence of variation of the shape of a semiconductor device when the semiconductor device is washed and can maintain a stabilized washing capacity for a long period of time. An organic acid ammonium salt is added to a mixed solution of ammonium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide and water (NH4OH:H2O2:H2O) to prepare the semiconductor washing solution. The organic acid ammonium salt to be added is one or more selected from ammonium acetate, ammonium citrate, ammonium formate and ammonium oxalate. The concentration of the added organic acid ammonium salt ranges from 0.1 mol/l to 20 mol/l.

摘要:
An etching/cleaning apparatus is provided, which makes it possible to effectively remove an unnecessary material or materials existing on a semiconductor wafer without damaging the device area with good controllability. The apparatus comprises (a) a rotating means for holding a semiconductor wafer and for rotating the wafer in a horizontal plane; the wafer having a device area and a surface peripheral area on its surface; the surface peripheral area being located outside the device area; and (b) an edge nozzle for emitting an etching/cleaning liquid toward a surface peripheral area of the wafer. The etching/cleaning liquid emitted from the edge nozzle selectively removes an unnecessary material existing in the surface peripheral area. The etching/cleaning liquid emitted from the edge nozzle preferably has an emission direction oriented along a rotation direction of the wafer or outward with respect to a tangent of the wafer formed near a contact point of the liquid with the surface peripheral area of the wafer. A back nozzle may be additionally provided to emit an etching/cleaning liquid toward a back center of the wafer. A surface nozzle may be additionally provided to emit a protecting liquid toward a surface center of the wafer, covering the device area to protect the same against the etching/cleaning liquid.

In a semiconductor device, a wiring line layer is formed on a substrate. A dielectric constant film is formed on the wiring line layer. An upper protection film is formed on an entire portion of the dielectric constant film. An opening portion is formed through the upper protection film and the dielectric constant film to the wiring line layer. A conductor buried portion formed into the opening portion. The dielectric constant film has a smaller dielectric constant value than those of a silicon oxide film and silicon nitride film. Also, a side protection film may be formed on all side portions of the opening portion.
