摘要:
A magnetic film forming apparatus can form a magnetic film, especially a magnetic alloy film, selectively on a metal surface exposed on a surface of a substrate, such as a semiconductor wafer. The magnetic film forming apparatus comprises an electroless plating apparatus having a magnetic field generation apparatus for generating a magnetic field around and parallel to a substrate disposed such that the surface of the substrate is in contact with a plating solution in a plating tank.

A metal film-forming method of the present invention can form a metal film having different film qualities in the thickness direction, in a continuous manner using a single processing solution. The metal film-forming method including: providing a substrate having embedded interconnects formed in interconnect recesses provided in a surface of the substrate; and forming a metal film, having different film qualities in the thickness direction, on surfaces of the interconnects in a continuous manner by changing the flow state of a processing solution relative to the surface of the substrate while keeping the surface of the substrate in contact with the processing solution.
摘要:
A substrate processing method can securely form a metal film by electroless plating on an exposed surface of a base metal, such as interconnects, with increased throughput and without the formation of voids in the base metal. The substrate processing method includes: cleaning a surface of a substrate having a base metal formed in the surface with a cleaning solution comprising an aqueous solution of a carboxyl group-containing organic acid or its salt and a surfactant as an additive; bringing the surface of the substrate after the cleaning into contact with a processing solution comprising a mixture of the cleaning solution and a solution containing a catalyst metal ion, thereby applying the catalyst to the surface of the substrate; and forming a metal film by electroless plating on the catalyst-applied surface of the substrate.
摘要:
A substrate wet-processing method can carry out uniform chemical processing of the surface of a substrate while easily preventing a gas from remaining on the surface of the substrate and preventing difference in the concentration and the temperature of a chemical solution between the end portion and the central portion of the substrate. The substrate wet-processing method includes: providing an acidic solution whose concentration is previously adjusted within a predetermined concentration range; continuously spraying the acidic solution having the adjusted concentration toward a substrate at a predetermined pressure to bring it into contact with a surface of the substrate; and then forming a film of an insulating material, a metal or an alloy on the exposed surface of a metal formed in the surface of the substrate.

A semiconductor device has interconnects protected with an alloy film having a minimum thickness necessary for producing the effect of preventing diffusion of oxygen, copper, etc., formed more uniformly over an entire surface of a substrate with less dependency to the interconnect pattern of the substrate. The semiconductor device includes, embedded interconnects, formed by filling an interconnect material into interconnect recesses formed in an electric insulator on a substrate, and an alloy film, containing 1 to 9 atomic % of tungsten or molybdenum and 3 to 12 atomic % of phosphorus or boron, formed by electroless plating on at least part of the embedded interconnects.

摘要:
A substrate processing method is useful for forming, by electroless plating, a protective film, such as a magnetic film, which covers exposed surfaces of embedded interconnects composed of an interconnect material, such as copper or silver, embedded in fine interconnect recesses provided in a surface of a substrate. The substrate processing method includes bringing a surface of a substrate into contact with a processing solution whose temperature is adjusted to not more than 15° C., thereby activating the surface, and bringing the activated surface of the substrate into contact with a plating solution, thereby forming a metal film on the surface.
