摘要:
Measurement of temperature - internal stress characteristics of an Al thin film formed on an Si substrate is performed. The amount of an impurity or impurities mixed in the thin f ilm can be obtained in accordance with the measured characteristics. A migration start temperature of Al atoms in the thin film in the characteristics obtained when the temperature is increased is fed back as information to the thin film formation step, thereby controlling an impurity amount in an atmosphere for forming the thin film.
摘要:
A method for planarizing the surface of an insulation layer deposited on a first interconnection layer to allow a second interconnection layer deposited thereon without causing a breakage of the second interconnection layer. This method is characterized in that at least two insulation films, different in etching characteristics each other, are first formed on the first interconnection layer, and then a resist layer is deposited on the second insulating film. Subsequently, a portion of the resist layer is etched to expose the top surface of the second insulating film, and the second insulating film is selectively and anisotropically etched using the remaining resist layer as a mask. After removing the first insulating film and the remaining resist mark, a third insulating film is deposited to a thickness sufficient to make flat the surface thereof.

A semiconductor device is disclosed which includes a multilayer formed of a hard inorganic main insulation film and a soft subinsulation film as insulation interlayers, and a hard inorganic insulation film as a final passivation film. The final passivation film is directly deposited on the hard inorganic main insulation film of the multilayer.

A semiconductor device has a first interconnection pattern formed on a semiconductor substrate, and a second interconnection pattern located in and over a through hole formed at a composite insulating layer structure. The composite insulating layer structure is constituted by a first inorganic insulating film and an organic insulating film. At a peripheral region of the second interconnection pattern, the organic insulating film is partially eliminated to form an eliminated portion. The semiconductor device also has a second inorganic insulating film which is formed over the organic insulating film and is directly formed on the first inorganic insulating film, via the eliminated portion.

A plasma chemical vapor deposition apparatus comprises a reaction chamber, electrodes provided in the reaction chamber and a side wall constituting part of the reaction chamber and having a wafer access opening, at least the side wall having its surface portion covered with an insulating member. The insulating member prevents abnormal discharge between the electrodes and side wall.

As shown in FIG. 4, a wiring pattern of a semiconductor integrated circuit device of the present invention comprises a wiring portion extending from a connection hole and a connection portion located on the connection hole and having a matching allowance with respect to said connection hole on said wiring portion side being formed wider than a predetermined matching allowance by a predetermined width with which a required yield of successful matching can be assured.
摘要:
An insulation film is formed on a semiconductor substrate in which semiconductor elements are formed. A plurality of wiring layers and interlaid insulation films are alternately laminated on the insulation film. The design margins of the laminated wiring layers and via holes formed in the interlaid insulation films are set to be larger as they are set at a higher level. The design margin is determined by using the focus margin, mask misalignment due to the mask alignment accuracy, pattern size conversion error, warp of the semiconductor substrate and irregularity of the surface of the semiconductor substrate as parameters.

An apparatus for cleaning semiconductor devices has a mixing section for mixing a chemical solution with pure water. A semiconductor substrate to be cleaned is placed on a support. An ultrasonic generator applies ultrasonic vibrations to the supplied pure water. The mixing section mixes a predetermined chemical solution with the pure water applied with the ultrasonic vibrations and supplies a desired pure water solution onto the semiconductor substrate.
