摘要:
A fabrication method of a semiconductor device is provided, which makes it possible to form a thin and elongated refractory-metal silicide layer while preventing the overgrowth phenomenon. This method is comprised of the steps (a) to (c). In the step (a), a first refractory metal film is formed on a silicon region. In the step (b), a second refractory metal film is formed on the first refractory metal film. The second refractory metal film contains a same refractory metal as the first refractory metal film and nitrogen. A stress of the second refractory metal film is controlled to be a specific value or lower. In the step (c), the first refractory metal film and the second refractory metal film are heat-treated in an atmosphere excluding nitrogen, thereby forming a refractory-metal silicide layer at an interface between the silicon region and the first refractory metal film due to silicidation reaction of the first refractory metal film with the silicon region. The value of the stress of the second refractory metal film is set so that the second refractory metal film applies substantially no effect to a plastic deformation of the refractory-metal silicide layer occurring during the silicidation reaction in the step (c).
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of forming a silicide layer on a silicon region. The method comprises the following steps. A first refractory metal layer is formed on the silicon region. The first refractory metal layer is made of a first refractory metal. A second refractory metal layer is formed on the first refractory metal layer. The second refractory metal layer is made of a second refractory metal and containing nitrogen. The second refractory metal layer has a film stress of not higher than 1×1010 dyne/cm2. A heat treatment is carried out in a first atmosphere substantially free of nitrogen so as to cause a silicidation of a lower region of the first refractory metal layer, whereby a C49-structured refractory metal silicide layer is formed on the silicon region.

A structure and manufacturing process of a low dielectric constant interlayer insulating film used between wiring layers and semiconductor devices using such film are disclosed. The insulating film which can withstand in an actual process comprises an amorphous carbon fluoride film. A diamond like carbon film and a silicon excess layer are disposed on both sides of the amorphous carbon fluoride film to be inserted between the wiring layers, whereby adhesion to wiring and another insulating film contacting it is significantly enhanced. In addition, a silicon based insulating film is disposed and flattened on a multilayer film containing an amorphous carbon fluoride film buried with a wiring layer, and is used as a hard mask for anisotropically etching the diamond like carbon film and the amorphous carbon fluoride film with oxygen plasma to form a via hole.

An MTJ element is formed in a wiring layer located in a lower tier and yet application of heat to the MTJ element is suppressed. A first insulating layer is formed over a substrate. Subsequently, the MTJ element is formed over the first insulating layer. After that a first wiring is formed over the MTJ element. Thereafter, a second insulating layer is formed over the first wiring. Then a second wiring is formed in the superficial layer of the second insulating layer. The second wiring is heat treated by photoirradiation. A shield conductor is formed at the step of forming the second wiring.

To prevent semiconductor chips from adhering to the trays during transport, a method is employed which transports semiconductor chips in the following state. When trays provided with a plurality of accommodating portions having a recessed cross section for accommodating semiconductor chips on a main surface thereof are stacked in a plurality of stages, the semiconductor chips are accommodated in spaces defined by the accommodating portions formed over the main surface of the lower-stage tray and corresponding accommodating portions formed over the back surface of the upper-stage tray. Here, on bottom surfaces of the accommodating portions formed over the back surface of the upper-stage tray, isolated projections having a height which prevents the projections from coming into contact with the semiconductor chips are arranged in a scattered manner. In this way, it is possible to prevent the semiconductor chips from adhering to the back surface of the upper-stage tray.
