    摘要: A method for treating exposed surfaces of a low k carbon doped silicon oxide dielectric material in order to protect the low k carbon doped silicon oxide dielectric material from damage during removal of photoresist mask materials is described. The process comprises (a) first treating the exposed surfaces of a low k carbon doped silicon oxide dielectric material with a plasma capable of forming a densified layer on and adjacent the exposed surfaces of low k carbon doped silicon oxide dielectric material and (b) then treating the semiconductor wafer with a mild oxidizing agent capable of removing photoresist materials from the semiconductor wafer. These steps will prevent the degradation of the exposed surfaces of a low k carbon doped silicon oxide dielectric material during removal of an etch mask after formation of vias or contact openings in the low k carbon doped silicon oxide dielectric material.

    摘要: An integrated circuit structure is provided with an inductor formed therein which comprises a metal coil on an insulated surface over a semiconductor substrate, and a high magnetic susceptibility cobalt/nickel metal core located adjacent said metal coil, but spaced therefrom by one or more insulation layers. In one embodiment, the high magnetic susceptibility cobalt/nickel metal core is placed between lower and upper portions of the metal coil which are interconnected together by filled vias. In another embodiment, the metal coil is formed in a serpentine shape in one plane on an insulated surface over the semiconductor substrate, and the high magnetic susceptibility cobalt/nickel metal core is formed over the serpentine coil, but spaced from the serpentine coil by another insulation layer.
