摘要:
A method suitable for cleaning the interior surfaces of a process chamber is disclosed. The invention is particularly effective in removing silicon nitride and silicon dioxide residues from the interior surfaces of a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) chamber. The method includes reacting nitrous oxide (N2O) gas with nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) gas in a plasma to generate nitric oxide (NO) and fluoride (F) radicals. Due to the increased density of nitric oxide radicals generated from the nitrous oxide, the etch and removal rate of the residues on the interior surfaces of the chamber is enhanced. Consequently, the quantity of nitrogen trifluoride necessary to efficiently and expeditiously carry out the chamber cleaning process is reduced.

An improved damascene process for fabricating a semiconductor device. A dielectric layer comprising at least both fluorine and nitrogen is formed overlying a substrate, in which a nitrogen content in the dielectric layer is about 5% to 10%. The dielectric layer is subsequently pattered to form at least one damascene opening therein. A metal layer is formed overlying the dielectric layer and fills the damascene opening. The excess metal layer on the dielectric layer is removed to leave the metal layer in the damascene opening. A semiconductor device with the same damascene structure is also disclosed.
