    摘要: The present invention provides a process of manufacturing a semiconductor device 200 while reducing silicon loss. In one aspect, the process includes removing a photoresist layer 270 from a semiconductor substrate 235 adjacent a gate 240 and cleaning the semiconductor substrate with a wet clean solution. The removing step includes subjecting the photoresist layer 270 to a plasma ash. The plasma ash removes at least a portion of a crust 275 formed on the photoresist layer 270 but leaves a substantial portion of the photoresist layer 270. The photoresist layer 270 is subjected to a wet etch subsequent to the plasma ash that removes a substantial portion of the photoresist layer 270.

    摘要: The present invention provides a system (200, 300) for remediating aberrations along the perimeter of a semiconductor wafer (202). The system includes a cleaning apparatus (204) within which the wafer is spun within a confined area. A chuck (208) defines the confined area, having a sidewall that extends above the upper surface (214) of the wafer and surrounds the perimeter of the wafer. The chuck also has a bottom wall, with an aperture formed therein, beneath the wafer. The system includes an isolation barrier (220), disposed atop the bottom wall of the chuck and around the aperture, in proximity to the lower surface so of the wafer. This forms a narrow gap (226) between the barrier and the wafer. A pressurized source forcefully directs a gas (218) at and along the lower surface of the wafer. The system also includes a remediation solution (228) that is applied to the upper surface of the wafer. The solution is forced into a well (230) formed between the chuck sidewall and the perimeter of the wafer, such that the solution bathes the perimeter of the wafer.

    摘要: The present invention provides, in one embodiment, a method of forming a copper layer (100) over a semiconductor substrate (105). The method comprises coating a copper seed layer (110) located over a semiconductor substrate with a protective agent (120) to form a protective layer (125). The method also includes placing the semiconductor substrate in an acid bath (145) to remove the protective layer. The method further includes electrochemically depositing a second copper layer (155) on the copper seed layer. Such methods and resulting conductive structures thereof may be advantageously used in methods to manufacture integrated circuits comprising copper interconnects.

    摘要: A ferroelectric device fabrication process is described in which ferroelectric device contaminant substances (e.g., Pb, Zr, Ti, and Ir) that are incompatible with standard CMOS fabrication processes are tightly controlled. In particular, specific etch chemistries have been developed to remove incompatible substances from the backside and edge surfaces of the substrate after a ferroelectric device has been formed. In addition, a sacrificial layer may be disposed over the bottom and edge surfaces (and, in some embodiments, the frontside edge exclusion zone surface) of the substrate to assist in the removal of difficult-to-etch contaminants (e.g., Ir). In this way, the ferroelectric device fabrication process may be integrated with a standard semiconductor fabrication process, whereby ferroelectric devices may be formed together with semiconductor integrated circuits without substantial risk of cross-contamination through shared equipment (e.g., steppers, metrology tools, and the like).
