摘要:
A substrate processing method is disclosed that, when forming a copper film on a miniaturized pattern with a copper diffusion prevention film being formed thereon, allows cleaning the copper diffusion prevention film on a substrate by using a supercritical medium, and allows the copper film to be formed by using the supercritical medium while preventing void occurrence and ensuring good adhesiveness with the miniaturized pattern. The substrate processing method includes a first step of supplying a first processing medium including a supercritical medium on a substrate and cleaning a film including a metal on a surface of the substrate; and a second step of supplying a second processing medium including the supercritical medium on the substrate, and forming a copper film.

A method of supplying, in a gaseous phase, a material which is in a viscous liquid phase at normal temperature. The viscous liquid material is provided in a bubbler and the pressure of the vessel is maintained below atmospheric pressure. A carrier gas is supplied through a nozzle opening in the liquid material inside the vessel. The carrier gas is temporarily dissolved in the liquid and then released to form fine bubbles into which the liquid material is vaporized, so that the vapor of the material is supplied together with the carrier gas.

A metal interconnection is prepared by forming an underlying metal film of high melting point metal such as Ti and/or high melting point metal compound such as TiN layers above a semiconductor substrate, plasma etching the surface of the underlying metal film in a gas atmosphere containing chloride, and forming an interconnecting metal film such as Al, Cu, Au and Ag on the underlying metal film. Alternatively, a metal interconnection is prepared by forming an insulating film above a semiconductor substrate, forming connection holes in the insulating film, forming an underlying metal film such as TiN on the insulating film and the bottom and side wall of the connection holes by a CVD process under controlled conditions, and forming an interconnecting metal film such as Al on the underlying metal film. The TiN film has (111) preferential orientation and the aluminum film has (111) preferential orientation, smooth surface and effective coverage. The thus fabricated metal interconnection has improved reliability including electromigration immunity when used in semiconductor devices and finding advantageous use in miniaturized semiconductor devices.
摘要:
A semiconductor device has a multilevel interconnection structure that includes an insulating interlayer formed on a lower wiring layer, a semiconductor substrate, and at least one via hole. The via plug partially fills the via hole, and the upper surface of the via plug may have a convex shape or a surface of the lower wiring layer at a bottom of the via hole may have a concave shape. Where two via holes are present, one via plug substantially fills the shallowest via hole, and partially fills the deepest via hole. The upper wiring layer may be formed over the via plug to fill a remaining portion of the via hole not filled by the via plug.

A semiconductor device has a multilayered structure that includes an insulating interlayer formed on a lower wiring layer, a semiconductor substrate, and a via hole. The semiconductor device is manufactured by a method that includes plasma etching at least one surface of the insulating interlayer the in an atmosphere having as a major component either a carbonless, chlorine-based gas or a carbonless, chlorine-based gas and an inactive gas in order to remove contaminates that would otherwise promote reactivity with aluminum CVD on the surface of the insulating interlayer.

An apparatus for forming, by a chemical vapor deposition process, a thin film of crystals such as diamond on a surface of a heated substrate placed in a reaction vessel. The apparatus has a substrate supporting structure, a heater for heating the substrate by heat conduction or by electric current supplied directly to the substrate, and a cooling device for cooling the substrate. The heater is controlled in accordance with the measured temperature of the substrate so as to accurately maintain the substrate temperature at a constant level.
