    摘要: An apparatus and a method for removing coating layers from the top of alignment marks on a wafer are described. The apparatus includes a cleaning chamber that is a cavity and a lid member suspended in the cavity, a wafer chuck that is rotatably mounted in the lid member for holding a wafer in an upside down position such that the alignment marks are facing downwardly, and at least two solvent dispensing arms mounted in an outer peripheral area of the lid member that are immediately adjacent to the chuck for dispensing a flow of solvent upwardly toward the active surface of the wafer when the wafer is held in a stationary position, each of the at least two solvent dispensing arms are positioned corresponding to a position of one of the alignment marks.

    摘要: A process for preparing a surface of a lower level metal structure, exposed at the bottom of a sub-micron diameter opening, to allow a low resistance interface to be obtained when overlaid with an upper level metal structure, has been developed. A disposable, capping insulator layer is first deposited on the composite insulator layer in which the sub-micron diameter opening will be defined in, to protect underlying components of the composite insulator from a subsequent metal pre-metal procedure. After anisotropically defining the sub-micron diameter opening in the capping insulator, and composite insulator layers, and after removal of the defining photoresist shape, an argon sputtering procedure is used to remove native oxide from the surface of the lower level metal structure. In addition to native oxide removal the argon sputtering procedure, featuring a negative DC bias applied to the substrate, also removes the capping insulator layer from the top surface of the composite insulator layer. An in situ metal deposition then allows a clean interface to result between the overlying metal layer, and the underlying plasma treated, metal surface.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) is disclosed. The method includes providing a substrate having two different topography areas adjacent to each other. A step-forming material (SFM) is deposited over the substrate. A patterned SFM is formed in the low topography area of the two areas. The formation of the patterned SFM provides a fairly planar surface across over the substrate.

    摘要: Some embodiments relate to a method for processing a workpiece. In the method, an anti-reflective coating layer is provided over the workpiece. A first patterned photoresist layer, which has a first photoresist tone, is provided over the anti-reflective coating layer. A second patterned photoresist layer, which has a second photoresist tone opposite the first photoresist tone, is provided over the first patterned photoresist layer. An opening extends through the first and second patterned photoresist layers to allow a treatment to be applied to the workpiece through the opening. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
