摘要:
An Al layer (6) is first formed to cover an opening region (9) for interconnection in a semiconductor device. Then, an Al-Si-Ti layer (7) having a higher degree of hardness than that of the Al layer (6) is formed on the Al layer (6) and subsequently a mixture layer (8) of aluminum hydrate and aluminum oxide is formed on the surface of the Al-Si-Ti layer (7). Thus, a multilayered film of electrode and interconnection (11) is formed.

In a method of forming a metallic silicide film on a substrate, a metallic silicide film containing silicon at a concentration higher than stoichiometric, is deposited on a substrate. A film of aluminum or aluminum alloy is then deposited on the metallic silicide film. Subsequently, a heat treatment is conducted to cause precipitation of silicon from the metallic silicide film to the aluminum, thereby to lower the silicon concentration in the silicide film.

The rough ground rear surface 13b of a semiconductor wafer 11 is mirror-polished by localized irradiation with a focused laser beam 21. The wafer is moved relative to the beam, and the melt puddle formed by the beam thereafter recrystallizes at its trailing edge 24 to leave a mirror smooth rear surface 13c.
摘要:
An improved interconnection structure and method for forming the interconnection in a semiconductor device having multilayered interconnection structure in which a contact hole for electrically connecting a first layer interconnection to a predetermined region of a semiconductor substrate and a through hole for electrically connecting a second layer interconnection to the first layer interconnection are formed in the regions overlapping with each other in planer layout. In the interconnection structure of the present invention, hillocks effective to compensate for the contact hole step are formed in the first layer interconnection only in the region of the contact hole of the first layer interconnection. In the method for forming the interconnection according to the present invention, a first layer interconnection is formed and a chemical conversion process is selectively performed to form a film which is more rigid than the first layer interconnection film on a predetermined region of the first layer interconnection film, and then a heat process is performed to generate hillocks only at the region of the contact hole of the first layer interconnection film. The second layer interconnection film is formed thereafter.

In addition, a completed protective film is formed on the interconnection and the underlayer insulating film and an aperture in a bonding pad region is formed in a predetermined region of the completed protective film, so that the interconnection and the bonding pad are electrically connected to each other. The proportion of silicon and other materials in the alloy are controlled to simultaneously avoid alloy pit and silicon nodule defects both at the contact hole and throughout the alloy conductor.
