    Abstract: The present invention is to provide a method for fabricating semiconductor devices capable of eliminating a height difference on a base member caused by a residual plating seed layer remained in a portion where an electrode comes into contact and is thus prevented from contacting with an electrolytic polishing fluid, where such height difference has been a problem in introducing the electrolytic polishing process into wafer process. The method comprises the steps of forming a plating seed layer on the base member; forming by the plating process a plated film on the plating seed layer in an area excluding the outer peripheral portion of the base member; polishing the plated film together with the plating seed layer by the electrolytic polishing process; and selectively removing the plating seed layer remaining on the outer peripheral portion of the base member.

    Abstract: An underlying Al alloy wiring 3 and an inter-layer insulation film 4 are formed sequentially on a semiconductor substrate 1 via an inter-layer insulation film 2. An inter-layer insulation film 5 highly hygroscopic and containing much moisture is made and etched back to flush depressions by the underlying Al alloy wiring 3. After an inter-layer insulation film 6 is made, a contact-hole C is made in the inter-layer insulation films 6 and 4. After that, prior to making a TiN/Ti film 7, gases are removed from the inter-layer insulation films 4 through 6 by annealing. The TiN/Ti film 7 is made as thick as 80 nm. In an alternative version, after the inter-layer insulation film is etched back, annealing is done to remove gases especially from the inter-layer insulation film 5. In another alternative version, a protective film 9 is made on the side wall of the contact-hole C, or the surface of the inter-layer insulation films 6 and 4 having formed the contact-hole or the surface of the inter-layer insulation film 5, is nitrified, to prevent degassing of the inter-layer insulation films 4 through 6.

    Abstract: A manufacturing method for forming a dual damascene structure in which the effective permittivity of an inter-layer insulating film is lowered without an etching mask for forming a contact hole, which is otherwise formed in the inter-layer insulating film. The manufacturing method comprises the step of forming an inorganic film to serve as an etching mask, on the inter-layer insulating film; the step of forming a first opening pattern for forming a wiring groove, in an upper part of the inorganic film; and the step of forming a second opening pattern for forming a contact hole, so as to coincide with the first opening pattern at least partially. Further, the contact hole is formed in the inter-layer insulating film by employing an etching mask made of the inorganic film, the inorganic film is etched into a state where only a third opening pattern obtained by transferring the first opening pattern is formed, and a wiring groove is formed in the inter-layer insulating film by employing the resulting inorganic film as the etching mask.
