摘要:
An apparatus and method for polishing a semiconductor wafer. A polisher includes a supporting plate having a conductive film and a polishing cloth formed on the conductive film of the supporting plate. The polishing cloth has a plurality of openings to expose the conductive film. A wafer holder has a conductive wafer holding surface to hold a semiconductor wafer having current detective patterns and an insulating film covering the current detective patterns. A polishing slurry supply device supplies a polishing slurry including ions to either the polishing cloth or the semiconductor wafer. A current detecting device, connected to the supporting plate and the wafer holder, detects a magnitude of a current flowing across the supporting plate and the wafer holder through the conductive wafer holding surface, the semiconductor wafer held by the wafer holder, the current detective patterns of the semiconductor wafer, the polishing slurry filled in the openings of the polishing cloth, and the conductive film.
摘要:
A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes a step of polishing a surface of a substrate by a chemical mechanical polishing process conducted on a polishing cloth by a slurry. The polishing is conducted so that projections having a height of about 30 .mu.m or less are formed on the polishing cloth with an interval of about 55 .mu.m or less as a result of the polishing.

The method for fabricating a semiconductor device comprises the steps of: forming a dummy electrode 22n and a dummy electrode 22p; forming a metal film 32 on the dummy electrode 22p; conducting a thermal treatment at a first temperature to substitute the dummy electrode 22n with an electrode 34a of a material containing the constituent material of the metal film 32; forming a metal film 36 on the dummy electrode 22n; and conducting a thermal treatment at a second temperature, which is lower than the first temperature and at which an interdiffusion of constituent materials between the electrode 34a and the metal film 36 does not take place, to substitute the second dummy electrode with an electrode 34b of a material containing the constituent material of the metal film 36.
摘要:
A support substrate includes a first surface and a second surface located above the level of the first surface. Chips are mounted on the first surface. A first insulating film is disposed over each chip. First conductive plugs are connected to the chip extending through each first insulating film. Filler material made of resin filling a space between chips. Wirings are disposed over the first insulating film and the filler material for interconnecting different chips. The second surface, an upper surface of the first insulating film and an upper surface of the filler material are located at the same level.
摘要:
A trench is formed in a surface layer of a semiconductor substrate, the trench surrounding an active region. A lower insulating film made of insulating material is deposited over the semiconductor device, the lower insulating film filling a lower region of the trench and leaving an empty space in an upper region. An upper insulating film made of insulating material having therein a tensile stress is deposited on the lower insulating film, the upper insulating film filling the empty space left in the upper space. The upper insulating film and the lower insulating film deposited over the semiconductor substrate other than in the trench are removed.

A trench is formed in the surface layer of a semiconductor substrate, surrounding an active region. A lower insulating film made of insulating material fills a lower region of the trench. An upper insulating film fills a region of the trench above the lower insulating film. The upper insulating film has therein a stress generating tensile strain in a surface layer of the active region.
