摘要:
Warpage and breakage of integrated circuit substrates is reduced by compensating for the stress imposed on the substrate by thin films formed on a surface of the substrate. Particularly advantageous for substrates having a thickness substantially less than about 150 μm, a stress-tuning layer is formed on a surface of the substrate to substantially offset or balance stress in the substrate which would otherwise cause the substrate to bend. The substrate includes a plurality of bonding pads on a first surface for electrical connection to other component.

The reliability of wirings, each of which includes a main conductive film containing copper as a primary component, is improved. On an insulating film including the upper surface of a wiring serving as a lower layer wiring, an insulating film formed of a silicon carbonitride film having excellent barrier properties to copper is formed; on the insulating film, an insulating film formed of a silicon carbide film having excellent adhesiveness to a low dielectric constant material film is formed; on the insulating film, an insulating film formed of a low dielectric constant material as an interlayer insulating film is formed; and thereafter a wiring as an upper layer wiring is formed.

A method of forming a spacer is disclosed that involves forming a layer of spacer material above an etch stop layer, performing a first main etching process on the layer of spacer material to remove some of material, stopping the etching process prior to exposing the etch stop layer and performing a second over-etch process on the layer of spacer material, using the following parameters: an inert gas flow rate of about 50-200 sscm, a reactive gas flow rate of about 3-20 sscm, a passivating gas flow rate of about 3-20 sscm, a processing pressure about 5-15 mT, a power level of about 200-500 W for ion generation and a bias voltage of about 300-500 V. A device includes a gate structure positioned above a semiconducting substrate, a substantially triangular-shaped sidewall spacer positioned proximate the gate structure and an etch stop layer positioned between the spacer and the gate structure.

The present invention provides methods of protecting a surface of an aluminum nitride substrate. The substrate with the protected surface can be stored for a period of time and easily activated to be in a condition ready for thin film growth or other processing. In certain embodiments, the method of protecting the substrate surface comprises forming a passivating layer on at least a portion of the substrate surface by performing a wet etch, which can comprise the use of one or more organic compounds and one or more acids. The invention also provides aluminum nitride substrates having passivated surfaces.
