A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes the step of conducting a cleaning process for a wafer formed with copper wiring lines to remove contaminations produced on a back surface of the wafer. The cleaning process is conducted by injecting onto the back surface of the wafer an etchant for removing contaminations and simultaneously injecting onto a front surface of the wafer a reductant containing hydrogen.

A method is disclosed for the cleaning of a Si surface at low temperatures. Oxide on the Si surface is brought into contact with Ge, which then sublimates off the surface. The Ge contamination remaining after the oxide removal is cleared away by an exposure to an alkali halide. The disclosed cleaning method may by used in semiconductor circuit fabrication for preparing surfaces ahead of epitaxial growth.
摘要:
A method of high aspect ratio contact etching a substantially vertical contact hole in an oxide layer using a hard photoresist mask is described. The oxide layer is deposited on an underlying substrate. A plasma etching gas is formed from a carbon source gas. Dopants are mixed into the gas. The doped plasma etching gas etches a substantially vertical contact hole through the oxide layer by doping carbon chain polymers formed along the sidewalls of the contact holes during the etching process into a conductive state. The conductive state of the carbon chain polymers reduces the charge buildup along sidewalls to prevent twisting of the contact holes by bleeding off the charge and ensuring proper alignment with active area landing regions. The etching stops at the underlying substrate.

Some embodiments include methods of forming capacitors. Storage nodes are formed within a material. The storage nodes have sidewalls along the material. Some of the material is removed to expose portions of the sidewalls. The exposed portions of the sidewalls are coated with a substance that isn't wetted by water. Additional material is removed to expose uncoated regions of the sidewalls. The substance is removed, and then capacitor dielectric material is formed along the sidewalls of the storage nodes. Capacitor electrode material is then formed over the capacitor dielectric material. Some embodiments include methods of utilizing a silicon dioxide-containing masking structure in which the silicon dioxide of the masking structure is coated with a substance that isn't wetted by water.
摘要:
After a water film is formed on a wafer front surface in a chamber, the water film is supplied sequentially with an oxidizing component of an oxidation gas, an organic acid component of an organic acid mist, an HF component of an HF gas, the organic acid mist, and the oxidizing component of the oxidation gas. As a result, the HF component and the organic acid component provide cleaning effect on the wafer surface, and a concentration of the cleaning components in the water film within a wafer surface can be even.

摘要:
A process of cleaning a semiconductor manufacturing system, and a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device. The cleaning process includes, for example, positioning a ceramic cover on the electrostatic chuck in tight contact with the chuck, and feeding a fluoride-based cleaning gas into a chamber. After the cleaning process, a process of forming a semiconductor film (deposition process) is performed. It is possible to prevent fluorine degasification from a substrate-supporting electrode (electrostatic chuck) during the deposition process. A semiconductor film can be formed without causing a temperature drop near the substrate. This prevents irregular film thickness, defective etching, film flaking, etc.
摘要:
A dielectric insulating film including HfO or the like is formed by: cleaning a surface of a semiconductor substrate by exposing the substrate surface to a fluorine radical; performing hydrogen termination processing with a fluorine radical or a hydride (SiH4 or the like); sputtering Hf or the like; and then performing oxidation/nitridation. These steps are carried out without exposing the substrate to atmosphere, thereby making it possible to obtain a C-V curve with less hysteresis and realize a MOS-FET having favorable device characteristics.
