摘要:
An organic film removing method uses an organic film removing apparatus comprising a processing vessel defining a processing chamber, a wafer support for supporting a semiconductor wafer within the processing chamber, and a mixed gas supplier for supplying a mixed gas consisting of an alcohol or alcohols, and ozone gas or an ozone-containing gas into the processing chamber so that the mixed gas acts on an organic film pattern on the surface of the supported semiconductor wafer. The apparatus continuously supplies the mixed gas into the processing chamber at least in a period between a time immediately before mounting the semiconductor wafer on the wafer support and a time when the organic film is removed completely; conveys the semiconductor wafer into the processing chamber; supports the semiconductor wafer within the processing chamber; and heats the patterned organic film on the surface of the supported semiconductor wafer at a temperature in a range below a temperature at which substantial defects will be formed in the elements of a semiconductor device to be formed on the semiconductor wafer. This method is capable of ashing the organic film at an ashing rate equal to or higher than an ashing rate at which a known organic film removing method employing a steam-containing ozone gas ashes the organic film, and of reducing water marks as compared with the known method employing the steam-containing ozone gas.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for surface treatment of a substance to be processed, which are capable of decreasing the number of foreign matters holding on the reverse side of the substance more than prior art like apparatus and method without largely decreasing a surface treating speed as compared with that of the prior art, by supplying ozone gas to the surface of the substance mounted on a supporting base. The supporting base has a heating part and a supporting part. There is provided a supporting material on the surface of the supporting part for partly supporting one side of the substance to be processed so that a required amount of gap may be formed between the substance to be processed and the supporting part. In the heating part is built a heater. And for a member constituting the supporting part is used a material having greater emissivity than a member constituting the heating part.

With a view to providing a technique for highly-selective etching of Ru (ruthenium) using a photoresist as an etching mask, an Ru-film, which is an lower electrode material deposited on the side walls and bottom surface of a hole, is covered with a photoresist film, followed by isotropic dry etching in a gas atmosphere containing an ozone gas, whereby a portion of the Ru film outside of the hole is removed.

Described is a manufacturing method of an integrated circuit which uses a thin film such as platinum or BST as a hard mask upon patterning ruthenium or the like, thereby making it possible to form a device without removing the hard mask. In addition, the invention method makes it possible to interpose a protecting film such as platinum in order to prevent, upon removing a resist used for the patterning of the hard mask, an underlying ruthenium film or the like from being damaged.

A sputtering apparatus comprising an intermediate electrode having a plurality of openings disposed between a cathode and a substrate electrode.The directionality of the particles which are liberated from a target by the collision of ions against the target is made remarkably uniform by the presence of the intermediate electrode, and thus a thin film having a superior step coverage can be deposited on the substrate placed on the substrate electrode.

The present invention provides a method for producing a high-quality capillary tube used in an electrophoresis apparatus in a safe and inexpensive manner. A polymer coating on a capillary tube is converted into gas and removed through an oxidative reaction with oxygen radicals resulting from ozone decomposition.

According to the present invention, the surface of the sample is cleaned with water immediately after ashing of the resist the quality of which has been changed through ion implantation by ozone-containing gas, or ozone-containing gas and ultraviolet ray, or the sample is cleaned with water without being exposed to the atmosphere after ashing, thereby allowing the number of residues to be reduced to 1/100, decreasing the load in cleaning process by solution, cutting down the semiconductor device production cost and improving the semiconductor device productivity.

Disclosed is a semiconductor device and method for manufacturing the same, which is provided with a first wiring layer whose thickness within a contact hole is great in a lower portion of the contact hole and is small in an upper portion thereof. Since the first wiring layer at the lower portion of the contact hole is sufficiently thick, reaction between a second wiring layer formed on the first wiring layer and a substrate is effectively prevented. The first wiring layer is formed by bias sputtering in which a bias voltage is applied to the substrate.
