    摘要: A new method to avoid post-etch cleaning in a metallization process is described. An insulating layer is formed over a first metal line in a dielectric layer overlying a semiconductor substrate. A via opening is etched through the insulating layer to the first metal line whereby a polymer forms on sidewalls of the via opening. The polymer is treated with a fluorinating agent whereby the polymer is converted to an inert layer. Thereafter, a second metal line is formed within the via opening wherein the inert layer acts is as a barrier layer to complete the metallization process in the fabrication of an integrated circuit device.

    摘要: A method of removing copper contamination from a semiconductor wafer, comprising the following steps. A semiconductor wafer having copper contamination thereon is provided. An oxidizing radical containing downstream plasma is provided from a first source (alternatively halogen (F2, Cl2, or Br2) may be used as on oxidizing agent). A vaporized chelating agent is provided from a second source. The oxidizing radical containing downstream plasma and vaporized chelating agent are mixed to form an oxidizing radical containing downstream plasma/vaporized chelating agent mixture. The mixture is directed to the copper contamination so that the mixture reacts with the copper contamination to form a volatile product. The volatile product is removed from the proximity of the wafer.
