摘要:
An example embodiment is a method of curing a film over a semiconductor structure. We provide a semiconductor structure comprised of a substrate and an interconnect structure. We provide a film over the semiconductor structure. We provide an electron source, an anode grid between the electron source and the semiconductor structure. We cure the film by exposing the film to an electron beam from the electron source that passes through the anode grid. We control the electron beam by controlling the bias voltage between the anode grid and the semiconductor structure. Another embodiment is a tool for curing a film.

In accordance with the objectives of the invention a new design and method for the implementation thereof is provided in the form of an “oxide ring”. A conventional die is provided with a guard ring or sealing ring, which surrounds and isolates the active surface area of an individual semiconductor die. The “oxide ring” of the invention surrounds the guard ring or sealing ring and forms in this manner a mechanical stress release buffer between the sawing paths of the die and the active surface area of the singulated individual semiconductor die.

An first example method and apparatus for etching and cleaning a substrate comprises device with a first manifold and a second manifold. The first manifold has a plurality of nozzles for dispensing chemicals onto the substrate. The second manifold is attached to a vacuum source and/or a dry air/gas source. A second example embodiment is a wafer cleaning device and method that uses a manifold with capillary jet nozzles and a liquid capillary jet stream to clean substrates.

A method for forming a semiconductor device is presented. The method includes providing a substrate prepared with a dielectric layer formed thereon. The dielectric layer having a conductive line disposed in an upper portion of the dielectric layer. The substrate is processed to produce a top surface of the dielectric layer that is not coplanar with a top surface of the conductive line to form a stepped topography.

A method of forming a barrier layer and cap comprised of CuSiN for an interconnect. We provide an interconnect opening in a dielectric layer over a semiconductor structure. We form a CuSiN barrier layer over the sidewalls and bottom of the interconnect opening by reacting with the first copper layer. We then form an interconnect over the CuSiN layer filling the interconnect opening. We can form a CuSiN cap layer on the top surface of the interconnect.
