The present invention provides a method of forming a trench in a semiconductor substrate. First, a first patterned mask layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate. The first patterned mask layer has a first trench. Then, a material layer is formed along the first trench. Then, a second patterned mask layer is formed on the material layer to completely fill the first trench. A part of the material layer is removed when the portion of the material layer between the second patterned mask layer and the semiconductor substrate is maintained so as to form a second trench. Lastly, an etching process is performed by using the first patterned mask layer and the second patterned mask layer as a mask.

The present invention relates to a method of removing a photo-resist layer from a semiconductor wafer. The semiconductor wafer comprises an inter-metal dielectric layer (IMD), and a photo-resist layer positioned on the IMD. The method comprises performing a dry cleaning process by injecting a nitrogen-containing gas into an oxygen-free environment and utilizing a plasma reaction to remove most of the photo-resist layer, and performing a wet cleaning process to completely remove the photo-resist layer.

An etching method used in the high density plasma etching system to etch a silicon oxide dielectric layer to form openings of different depths. The method uses a mixture of C.sub.4 H.sub.8, CH.sub.2 F.sub.2, and Ar as an etching gas source to etch the silicon oxide dielectric layer, forming a plurality of openings of a first depth. A mixture of C.sub.4 H.sub.8, CO, and Ar is used as an etching gas source to etch the silicon oxide dielectric layer exposed by the first opening, so that the opening is deepened to the second depth. Using a mixture of C.sub.4 H.sub.8, CH.sub.2 F.sub.2, CO, and Ar as the etching gas source, the silicon oxide dielectric layer exposed by the opening is etched, so that the openings are deepened to the third depth and the fourth depth.

The present invention provides a method of defining polysilicon patterns. The method forms a polysilicon layer on a substrate, and a patterned mask on the polysilicon layer. Then, a first etching process is performed to remove a portion of the polysilicon layer not covered by the mask, thus forming a plurality of cavities in the polysilicon layer. A strip process is performed to strip the mask utilizing gases excluding O2. Finally, a second etching process is performed to remove a portion of the polysilicon layer, thus extending the plurality of cavities down to a surface of the substrate.

摘要:
A method of manufacturing metallic interconnects. A substrate has a copper line formed therein. An inter-metal dielectric layer is formed over the substrate and the copper line. A patterned photoresist layer is formed over the inter-metal dielectric layer. The inter-metal dielectric layer is etched to form a trench and a contact opening that exposes a portion of the copper line, wherein the contact opening is under the trench. At a low temperature and using a plasma derived from a gaseous mixture N2H2 (H2:4%)/O2, the photoresist layer is removed. Any copper oxide layer formed on the copper line in the process of removing photoresist material is reduced back to copper using gaseous N2H2 (H2:4%). A barrier layer conformal to the trench and the contact opening profile is formed. Copper is deposited to form a conformal first copper layer over the trench and the contact opening. Using the first copper layer as a seeding layer, a copper or a copperless electroplating is carried out so that a second copper layer is grown anisotropically over the first copper layer.
