The present invention provides a polishing method including the steps of forming a film made of material containing a metal as a main component over a substrate having depressed portions on a surface thereof so as to fill the depressed portions with the film, and polishing the film by a chemical mechanical polishing method using a polishing agent containing a chemical agent responsible for forming a protection film on a surface of the film by reacting with the material containing a metal as a main component, thereby forming a conductive film in the depressed portions. The present invention also provides a polishing agent, which is used in forming a film made of material containing a metal as a main component in depressed portions of a substrate having depressed portions on a surface thereof by using a chemical mechanical polishing method, including a chemical agent responsible for forming a protection film on the surface of a substrate to be polished by reacting with the material containing a metal as a main component.
摘要:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising controlling a humidity in an atmosphere around a low dielectric constant insulating film at 30% or less, during a processing period and a transfer period between processing equipments, in which at least a part of said low dielectric constant insulating film is exposed to the atmosphere.

A reliability evaluation test apparatus of this invention includes a wafer storage section which stores a wafer in a state wherein the electrode pads of a number of devices formed on the wafer and the bumps of a contactor are totally in electrical contact with each other. The wafer storage section transmits/receives a test signal to/from a measurement section and has a hermetic and heat insulating structure. The wafer storage section has a pressure mechanism which presses the contactor and a heating mechanism which directly heats the wafer totally in contact with the contactor to a predetermined high temperature. The reliability of an interconnection film and insulating film formed on the semiconductor wafer are evaluated under an accelerated condition.
摘要:
A method for the production of a semiconductor device having an electrode line formed in a semiconducting substrate is disclosed which comprises preparing a semiconducting substrate having trenches and/or contact holes formed preparatorily in a region destined to form the electrode line, forming a conductive film formed mainly of at least one member selected from among Cu, Ag, and Au on the surface of the semiconducting substrate, heat-treating the superposed Cu film while supplying at least an oxidizing gas thereto thereby flowing the Cu film and causing never melting to fill the trenches and/or contact holes, and removing by polishing the part of the conductive film which falls outside the region of the electrode line and completing the electrode lines consequently. During the heat treatment, a reducing gas is supplied in addition to the oxidizing gas to induce a local oxidation-reduction reaction and fluidify and/or flow the conductive film and consequently accomplish the embodiment of the conductive film in the trenches. The formation of the interconnection is also accomplished by forming a conductive film on the surface of a semiconducting substrate having trenches formed therein, exerting thereon uniaxial stress from above the semiconducting substrate, heat treating the formed conductive film thereby flowing the conductive film, to fill the trenches, and polishing the surface of the semiconducting substrate.

A method of manufacturing semiconductor device which comprises the steps of forming an insulating film on an Si substrate provided with a wiring layer, forming a contact hole connected to the wiring layer and a wiring groove in the insulating film, filling the contact hole with an Si film, successively forming an Al film and a Ti film all over the substrate, performing a heat treatment thereby to substitute the Al film for the Ti film, and to allow the Si film to be absorbed by the Ti film, whereby filling the contact hole and wiring groove with the Al film, and removing a Ti/Ti silicide which is consisting of Ti silicide formed through the absorption of the Si film by the Ti film and a superfluous Ti, whereby filling the contact hole with an Al plug and filling the wiring groove with an Al wiring.
摘要:
A plating method and apparatus for a substrate fills a metal, e.g., copper, into a fine interconnection pattern formed in a semiconductor substrate. The apparatus has a substrate holding portion 36 horizontally holding and rotating a substrate with its surface to be plated facing upward. A seal material 90 contacts a peripheral edge portion of the surface, sealing the portion in a watertight manner. A cathode electrode 88 passes an electric current upon contact with the substrate. A cathode portion 38 rotates integrally with the substrate holding portion 36. An electrode arm portion 30 is above the cathode portion 38 and movable horizontally and vertically and has an anode 98 face-down. Plating liquid is poured into a space between the surface to be plated and the anode 98 brought close to the surface to be plated. Thus, plating treatment and treatments incidental thereto can be performed by a single unit.
