    摘要: By exposing a process control wafer having a porous low-k-dielectric layer thereon in an HF-based low-k dielectric etching solvent comprising a dilating additive and a passivating additive, the pores in the low-k dielectric layer are dilated some of which connect with one another to form one or more continuous channels extending through the thickness of the dielectric layer and allowing the HF-based solvent to reach down to the substrate. Then the passivating additive component of the HF-based etching solvent forms a passivation layer at the dielectric layer and the substrate interface that protects substrate from the HF-based etchant.

    摘要: A chemical processing bath and system used in semiconductor manufacturing utilizes a dynamic spiking model that essentially constantly monitors chemical concentration in the processing bath and adds fresh chemical on a regular basis to maintain chemical concentrations at desirable levels. Etch rates and etch selectivities are maintained at desirable levels and contamination from undesirable precipitation is avoided. The system and method automatically compare concentration levels to a plurality of control limits associated with various technologies and identify the technology or technologies that may undergo processing.

    摘要: A method of recycling a control wafer having a dielectric layer deposited thereon involves removing most of the dielectric layer by plasma etching leaving a residual film of the dielectric and then removing the residual dielectric film by a wet etching process. The combination of the dry and wet etching provides effective removal of the dielectric material without damaging the wafer substrate and any residual wet etching byproduct particulate remaining on the wafer substrate is then removed by APM cleaning and scrubbing.

    摘要: A semiconductor apparatus includes a first tank configured to accommodate a first fluid. A second tank is configured to receive overflow of the first fluid into an upper portion of the second tank and to accommodate a second fluid. A cycling system including a first conduit is configured between the first tank and the second tank. The first conduit has an end substantially below a surface of the second fluid. A fluid providing system including a second conduit is fluidly coupled to the second tank and configured to provide the second fluid into the second tank. The second conduit has an end substantially below the surface of the second fluid. An overflow system is coupled to the second tank and configured to remove an upper portion of the second fluid when the surface of the second fluid is substantially equal to or higher than a pre-determined level.
