    Abstract: A multi-step cleaning procedure cleans phase shift photomasks and other photomasks and Mo-containing surfaces. In one embodiment, vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) light produced by an Xe2 excimer laser converts oxygen to ozone that is used in a first cleaning operation. The VUV/ozone clean may be followed by a wet SC1 chemical clean and the two-step cleaning procedure reduces phase-shift loss and increases transmission. In another embodiment, the first step may use other means to form a molybdenum oxide on the Mo-containing surface. In another embodiment, the multi-step cleaning operation provides a wet chemical clean such as SC1 or SPM or both, followed by a further chemical or physical treatment such as ozone, baking or electrically ionized water.

    Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor structure is provided to prevent energy that is used to blow at least one fuse formed on a metal layer above a semiconductor substrate from causing damage on the structure. The semiconductor structure includes a device, guard ring, protection ring, and at least one protection layer. The device is constructed on the semiconductor substrate underneath the fuse. A seal ring, which surrounds the fuse, is constructed on at least one metal layer between the device and the fuse for confining the energy therein. The protection layer is formed within the seal ring, on at least one metal layer between the device and the fuse for shielding the device from being directly exposed to the energy.
