摘要： A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device including a step of forming a via hole in an insulation layer including an organic low dielectric film, such as MSQ, SiC, and SiCN, and then embedding a wiring material in the via hole through a barrier metal. According to this method, a plasma treatment is performed after the via hole is formed and before the barrier metal is deposited, using a He/H2 gas capable of replacing groups (methyl groups) made of organic constituents and covering the surface of the exposed organic low dielectric film (MSQ) with hydrogen, or a He gas capable decomposing the groups (methyl groups) without removing organic low dielectric molecules. As a result, the surface of the low dielectric film (MSQ) is reformed to be hydrophilic and adhesion to the barrier metal is hence improved, thereby making it possible to prevent the occurrence of separation of the barrier metal and scratches.

摘要： The dielectric constants of SiC and SiCN that are currently the subjects of much investigation are both 4.5 to 5 or so and that of SiOC, 2.8 to 3.0 or so. With further miniaturization of the interconnection size and the spacing of interconnections brought about by the reduction in device size, there have arisen strong demands that dielectric constants should be further reduced. Furthermore, because the etching selection ratio of SiOC to SiCN as well as that of SiOC to SiC are small, if SiCN or SiC is used as the etching stopper film, the surface of the metal interconnection layer may be oxidized at the time of photoresist removal, which gives rise to a problem of high contact resistance. The present invention relates to an organic film made of one of SiOCH, SiCHN and SiCH that is formed using, as a source, a polyorganosilane whose C/Si ratio is at least 5 or greater and molecular weight is 100 or greater, and a semiconductor device wherein such an organic insulating film is used, and more particularly to a semiconductor device having a trench structure.

摘要翻译： 目前被广泛研究的SiC和SiCN的介电常数分别为4.5〜5左右，SiOC为2.8〜3.0左右。 随着器件尺寸减小引起的互连尺寸和互连间距的进一步小型化，出现了强烈的要求，即应进一步降低介电常数。 此外，由于SiOC与SiCN的蚀刻选择比以及SiOC与SiC的蚀刻选择比小，因此如果使用SiCN或SiC作为蚀刻停止膜，则金属配线层的表面在光刻胶去除时可能被氧化 ，这导致高接触电阻的问题。 本发明涉及使用以C / Si比为5以上且分子量为100以上的聚有机硅烷作为源的SiOCH，SiCHN和SiCH之一构成的有机膜，以及半导体 使用这种有机绝缘膜的装置，更具体地说涉及具有沟槽结构的半导体器件。

摘要： A method of fabricating a semiconductor device using a PECVD method is provided, which improves the adhesion strength of a deposited dielectric layer to an underlying layer and the reliability of the deposited dielectric layer. After placing a substrate in a chamber, a gas having a thermal conductivity of 0.1 W/mK or greater (e.g., H2 or He) is introduced into the chamber, thereby contacting the gas with the substrate for stabilization of a temperature of the substrate. A desired dielectric layer is deposited on or over the substrate in the chamber using a PECVD method after the step of introducing the gas. As the desired dielectric layer, a dielectric layer having a low dielectric constant, such as a SiCH, SiCHN, or SiOCH layer, is preferably used.
