    摘要: A method of forming a semiconductor structure comprises providing a substrate comprising a layer of a material formed on a first surface of the substrate. At least one recess is formed in the layer of material. The formation of the at least one recess comprises performing a dry etching process. A contamination layer formed in the dry etching process is removed from a second surface of the substrate. Thus, contaminations of tools used in later stages of the manufacturing process resulting from flakes splitting off the contamination layer may be avoided.

    摘要: By performing at least one additional wet chemical etch process in the edge region and in particular on the bevel of a substrate during the formation of a metallization layer, the dielectric material, especially the low-k dielectric material, may be reliably removed from the bevel prior to the formation of any barrier and metal layers. Moreover, an additional wet chemical etch process may be performed after the deposition of the metal to remove any unwanted metal and barrier material from the edge region and the bevel. Accordingly, defect issues and contamination of substrates and process tools may be efficiently reduced.

    摘要: By providing large area metal plates in combination with respective peripheral areas of increased adhesion characteristics, delamination events may be effectively monitored substantially without negatively affecting the overall performance of the semiconductor device during processing and operation. In some illustrative embodiments, dummy vias may be provided at the periphery of a large area metal plate, thereby allowing delamination in the central area while substantially avoiding a complete delamination of the metal plate. Consequently, valuable information with respect to mechanical characteristics of the metallization layer as well as process flow parameters may be efficiently monitored.
