A method for partial local self-boosting of a memory cell channel is disclosed. As a part of memory cell channel partial local self-boosting, an isolating memory cell located on a source side of a program inhibited memory cell is turned off and a gating memory cell located on a drain side of the program inhibited memory cell is used to pass a pre-charge voltage to the program inhibited memory cell to provide a pre-charge voltage to a channel of the program inhibited memory cell. Moreover, a pre-charge voltage is passed to a buffering memory cell located on the source side of the program inhibited memory cell to provide a pre-charge voltage to a channel of the buffering memory cell and the gating memory cell that is located on the drain side of the program inhibited memory cell is turned off. During programming, a program voltage is applied to the gate of the program inhibited memory cell where a channel voltage of the program inhibited memory cell is raised above a level raised by the pre-charge voltage.

A wafer is provided and loaded in a reaction chamber. Subsequently, the wafer is lifted up, and a dry clean process is performed on the wafer to clean the front side, the back side, and the bevel of the wafer. Following that, a deposition process is performed on the wafer. The dry clean process and the deposition process are carried out in an in-situ manner.

A method for controlling an apparatus to perform a multi-layer chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process with a polishing rate for a plurality of process runs. For each process run, a multilayered structure with a first thickness formed on a wafer is polished and a second thickness of the multilayered structure is predetermined to be polished away. The method comprises steps of receiving a post-CMP thickness information of the multilayered structure of a first process run, wherein for the first process run, the CMP process is performed for a first CMP process time. Then, a second CMP process time is determined according to the first CMP process time, the first thickness and the post-CMP thickness. Further, the second CMP process time is provided to the apparatus for processing a second process run posterior to the first process run.

An interconnecting process is described. First, a dielectric layer with a plurality of openings is provided. Then, a metallic layer is formed to fill up the openings. A first dielectric barrier layer is formed to cover the dielectric layer and the metallic layer. Thereafter, a second dielectric barrier layer is formed over the first dielectric barrier layer. The second dielectric barrier layer is used to repair the first dielectric barrier layer and improve the reliability and yield of the process.
