    摘要: A method of forming a low dielectric constant film that can be used in a damascene process is disclosed. An organosilicon precursor such as octamethylcyclotrisiloxane (OMCTS) or any other compound that contains Si, C, and H and optionally O is transported into a PECVD chamber with a carrier gas such as CO or CO2 to provide a soft oxidation environment that leads to a higher carbon content and low k value in the deposited film. The carrier gas may replace helium or argon that have a higher bombardment property that can damage the substrate. Since CO and CO2 can contribute carbon to the deposited film, a lower k value is achieved than when an inert carrier gas is employed. The deposited film can be employed, for example, as a dielectric layer in a damascene stack or as an etch stop layer.

    摘要: In accordance with the objectives of the invention a new method is provided for improving adhesion strength that is deposited over the surface of a layer of copper. Conventional etch stop layers of for instance dichlorosilane (SiCl2H2) or SiOC have poor adhesion with an underlying layer of copper due to poor molecular binding between the interfacing layers. The surface of the deposited layer of copper can be provided with a special enhanced interface layer by using a method provided by the invention. That is pre-heat of the copper layer followed by a pre-cleaning treatment with ammonia (NH3) and N2, followed by forming an adhesive enhanced layer over the copper layer by treatment with N2 or O2 or N2 with alkyl-silane or alkyl silane.

    摘要: Within a damascene method for forming a patterned conductor layer having formed interposed between its patterns a dielectric layer formed of a comparatively low dielectric constant dielectric material method, there is employed a hard mask layer formed upon the dielectric layer. The hard mask layer is formed employing a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) method in turn employing an organosilane carbon and silicon source material, a substrate temperature of from about 200 to about 500 degrees centigrade and a radio frequency power of from about 100 to about 500 watts per square centimeter substrate area. The hard mask layer provides for attenuated abrasive damage to the dielectric layer.

    摘要: Attenuated total reflectance (ATR)-Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) metal surface cleanliness monitoring is disclosed. A metal surface of a semiconductor die is impinged with an infrared (IR) beam, such as can be accomplished by using an ATR technique. The IR beam as reflected by the metal surface is measured. For instance, an interferogram of the reflected IR beam may be measured. A Fourier transform of the interferogram may also be performed, in accordance with an FTIR technique. To determine whether the metal surface is contaminated, the IR beam as reflected is compared to a reference sample. For example, the Fourier transform of the interferogram may be compared to the reference sample. If there is deviation by more than a threshold, the metal surface may be concluded as being contaminated.

    摘要: Defects such as holes and bumps in the surface of a semiconductor wafer are detected by an optical inspection system that combines darkfield and brightfield illumination techniques. A single light stop, which forms part of the illumination system, includes a pair of openings configured to produce both a solid cone of light and a hollow of light which are simultaneously focused onto the wafer surface. The directly emanating light as well as the scattered light collected from the wafer surface produce a resultant image that is the product of darkfield and brightfield illumination. Modulation of the light beam and tilting of the light focused onto the wafer surface may be advantageously used to improved contrast and resolution of the viewed image.
