摘要:
According to the present invention, high-k film can be etched to provide a desired geometry without damaging the silicon underlying material. A silicon oxide film 52 is formed on a silicon substrate 50 by thermal oxidation, and a high dielectric constant insulating film 54 comprising HfSiOx is formed thereon. Thereafter, polycrystalline silicon layer 56 and high dielectric constant insulating film 54 are selectively removed in stages by a dry etching through a mask of the resist layer 58, and subsequently, the residual portion of the high dielectric constant insulating film 54 and the silicon oxide film 52 are selectively removed by wet etching through a mask of polycrystalline silicon layer 56. A liquid mixture of phosphoric acid and sulfuric acid is employed for the etchant solution. The temperature of the etchant solution is preferably equal to or lower than 200 degree C., and more preferably equal to or less than 180 degree C.

An oxide film formed on the surface of copper film of an electrode pad is cleaned by oxalic acid after unevenness is formed on the surface of copper film by treating the surface with organic acid. Thereby, stable resistance is obtained when carrying out a characteristic inspection by bringing a probe into contact with the electrode pad, and it is easily recognized by observation through a microscope that the probe is brought into contact with the electrode pad. In addition, wettability with respect to solder is satisfactory, and it is possible to favorably form a solder bump on the electrode pad.

There is provided a washing liquid composition for a semiconductor substrate having a contact angle between the surface thereof and water dropped thereon of at least 70 degrees, the washing liquid composition including an aliphatic polycarboxylic acid and a surfactant, and the washing liquid composition having a contact angle of at most 50 degrees when dropped on the semiconductor substrate. It is thereby possible to effectively remove particles and metals on the surface of a hydrophobic substrate without corroding it.

In order to provide a manufacturing method of a semiconductor device which can improve the interconnection lifetime, while controlling the increase in resistance thereof, and, in addition, can raise the manufacturing stability; by applying a plasma treatment to the surface of a copper interconnection 17 with a source gas comprising a nitrogen element being used, a copper nitride layer 24 is formed, and thereafter a silicon nitride film 18 is formed. Hereat, under the copper nitride layer 24, a thin copper silicide layer 25 is formed.
