    摘要: Method of Fabricating Interconnections of a Microelectronic Device Using a Dual Damascene Process. A method of fabricating interconnections of a microelectronic device includes preparing a semiconductor substrate comprising a lower dielectric layer and a lower interconnection, forming an etch stopper layer and an interlayer dielectric layer on the semiconductor substrate, forming a via hole in the interlayer dielectric layer so that the etch stopper layer is exposed through the via hole, performing carbon doping on the etch stopper layer, performing trench etching to form a trench in the interlayer dielectric layer so that the trench overlaps part of the via hole, removing the carbon-doped etch stopper layer, and filling the via hole and the trench with a conductive material to form an upper interconnection.

    摘要: In a method for determining the degree of charge-up induced by plasma used for manufacturing a semiconductor device and an apparatus therefor, a predetermined region on a surface of a wafer on which a plasma process has been performed is repeatedly scanned with a primary electron beam. Secondary electrons generated by a reaction between the primary electron beam and the surface of the wafer that are emitted to the outside of the surface of the wafer are collected. The degree of charge-up induced at the surface of the wafer by the plasma used during the plasma process is determined from the change in the amount of collected secondary electrons. Determination as to whether a contact hole is opened or as to the degree of degradation of a gate insulating layer is made based on the degree of charge-up.

    摘要: Methods of forming integrated circuit devices include forming an integrated circuit substrate having an electrically insulating layer thereon and forming a mask layer pattern having at least first and second openings of different size therein, on the electrically insulating layer. First and second portions of the electrically insulating layer extending opposite the first and second openings, respectively, are simultaneously etched at first and second different etch rates. This etching yields a first trench extending adjacent the first opening that is deeper than a second trench extending adjacent the second opening. Then, the bottoms of the first and second trenches are simultaneously etched to substantially the same depths using an etching process that compensates for the first and second different etch rates.
