摘要:
A semiconductor device manufacturing method capable of preventing an infliction of damage upon an interlayer insulating film and moisture adsorption thereto due to opening to atmosphere in a process of forming a CuSiN barrier by infiltrating Si into a surface of a copper-containing metal film and nitrifying a Si-infiltrated portion is disclosed.When a semiconductor device is manufactured through the processes of preparing a semiconductor substrate having a copper-containing metal film exposed on a surface thereof; purifying a surface of the copper-containing metal film by using radicals or by using a thermo-chemical method; infiltrating Si into the surface of the copper-containing metal film; and nitrifying a Si-infiltrated portion of the copper-containing metal film by radicals, the purification process, the Si introduction process and the nitrification process are successively performed without breaking a vacuum.

A method of efficiently fabricating a semiconductor device with less fabrication steps is provided. A second inter-layer insulation film is removed to form an aperture by substantially using a first hard mask film as a mask in accordance with the method of fabricating a semiconductor device having a multi-layer wiring structure using a dual-damascene method. In addition, an etching stopper film is removed, and then a first inter-layer insulation film is removed to form a via hole in the first inter-layer insulation film.

An electronic air cleaner is disclosed in which the corona discharge wire and the counterelectrode are positioned outside the flowpath of dust-laden air. Diverging electric force lines are discharged from the discharge wire electrode, which is nearer the flow path than the counterelectrode, when a high voltage is applied and ions are directed into the passing airflow path in a reacting area or zone. Dust contained in the air flow path is electrically charged by the ions and collected on a filter, which may also be electrically charged, positioned downstream from the reacting zone. In the device the discharge wire is not directly exposed to the dust-laden air, the electrically charged particles being collected on a separate, easily cleaned filter. The design of the electronic air cleaner requires less maintenance, easier cleaning and a longer period of operational quality.

Disclosed are a processing method and apparatus for removing a native oxide film from the surface of a subject to be treated. In this method and apparatus, gas generated from N2, H2 and NF3 gases is reacted with the surface of the subject to degenerate the native oxide film into a reactive film. If the subject is heated to a given temperature, the reactive film is sublimated and thus the native oxide film is removed. Plasma is generated from the N2 and H2 gases and then activated to form an activated gas species. The NF3 gas is added to the activated gas species to generate an activated gas of these three gases. In the step of forming the reactive film, the subject is cooled to not higher than a predetermined temperature by a cooling means. In the step of sublimating the reactive film, the subject is lifted up to a predetermined heating position. Also disclosed is a cluster system which includes the treatment apparatus of the present invention and other apparatuses and which is capable of carrying a subject to be treated in an unreactive atmosphere.

A cooking apparatus for heating food to be served and capable of being operated with utmost simplicity without using and choosing various cooking-mode selection keys so as to achieve superb ease-of-operation. The cooking apparatus includes a cooking chamber for placing and storing food to be heated by the apparatus and a detector for detecting a state of a door attached to the cooking chamber, the door being freely openable and closable against an opening portion of the cooking chamber. An optical sensor, having a plurality of light emitting portions is disposed in a side of the cooking chamber and a plurality of light receiving portions are disposed counter to the light emitting portions. A drive unit is provided for driving the optical sensor and a judgement unit verifies and determines a cooking mode suitable for the food placed in the cooking chamber responsive to a signal from the optical sensor, where the drive unit is activated when the detector detects that the door is closed.
