    摘要: A method is provided for forming a metal interconnection using a plating process, which can improve the throughput and reliability of semiconductor devices by decreasing the required polishing in a chemical mechanical polishing process. A semiconductor device manufactured by this method is also provided. In the method of forming a metal interconnection, a recess region is formed in a portion of an insulation layer formed over a substrate, i.e., where a metal interconnection layer will be formed. A diffusion prevention layer is formed over the substrate, the insulation layer, and the recess region. Then, a metal seed layer is formed over the diffusion prevention layer only in the recess region using a chemical mechanical polishing process or an etch back process. A conductive plating layer is then formed on the metal seed layer only in the recess region. Thereafter, surface polarization is performed to form a metal interconnection layer in the recess region. The plating layer may be formed after forming the seed layer only in the bottom portion of the recess region.

    摘要: Substrate treatment equipment includes a wet treatment apparatus for treating a substrate with a solution (liquid), a drying (treatment) apparatus discrete from the wet treatment apparatus and for drying the substrate using a supercritical fluid, and a transfer device. The substrate is extracted by the transfer device from the wet treatment apparatus after the substrate has been treated and the substrate is transferred by the device while wet to the dry treatment apparatus. To this end, various elements/methods may be used to keep the substrate wet or wet the substrate. In any case, the substrate is prevented from drying naturally, i.e., from air-drying, as the substrate is being transferred from the wet treatment apparatus to the drying apparatus. Thus, equipment and method prevent defects such as water spots and the leaning of fine structures on the substrate.

    摘要: A cleaning solution for an immersion photolithography system according to example embodiments may include an ether-based solvent, an alcohol-based solvent, and a semi-aqueous-based solvent. In the immersion photolithography system, a plurality of wafers coated with photoresist films may be exposed pursuant to an immersion photolithography process using an immersion fluid. The area contacted by the immersion fluid during the exposure process may accumulate contaminants. Accordingly, the area contacted by the immersion fluid during the exposure process may be washed with the cleaning solution according to example embodiments so as to reduce or prevent defects in the immersion photolithography system.

    摘要: A method for removing an oxide layer such as a natural oxide layer and a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus which uses the method to remove the oxide layer. A vertically movable susceptor is installed at the lower portion in a processing chamber and a silicon wafer is loaded onto the susceptor when it is at the lower portion of the processing chamber. The air is exhausted from the processing chamber to form a vacuum condition therein. A hydrogen gas in a plasma state and a fluorine-containing gas are supplied into the processing chamber to induce a chemical reaction with the oxide layer on the silicon wafer, resulting in a reaction layer. Then, the susceptor is moved up to the upper portion of the processing chamber, to anneal the silicon wafer on the susceptor with a heater installed at the upper portion of the processing chamber, thus vaporizing the reaction layer. The vaporized reaction layer is exhausted out of the chamber. The oxide layer can be removed with a high selectivity while avoiding damage or contamination of the underlying layer.
