    摘要: A method of making an etched structure in the fabrication of a MEMS device involves depositing a bulk layer, typically of polysilicon, prone to surface roughness. At least one layer of photo-insensitive spin-on planarizing material, such as silicate-based spin-on glass, is formed on the bulk layer to reduce surface roughness. This is patterned with a photoresist layer. A deep etch is then performed through the photoresist layer into the bulk layer. This technique results in much more precise etch structures.

    摘要: A method for making an integrated photonic device involves depositing buffer, core and cladding layers on the front side of a wafer. A thick tensile stress layer is deposited on the back side of the wafer just prior to performing a high temperature thermal treatment above 600° C. on the cladding layer to prevent the cracking of the layers as a result of the thermal treatment.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for depositing an optical quality silica film on a wafer by PECVD. The flows rates for a raw material gas, an oxidation gas, a carrier gas, and a dopant gas are first set at predetermined levels. The total deposition pressure is set at a predetermined level. The deposited film is then subjected to a post deposition heat treatment at a temperature selected to optimize the mechanical properties without affecting the optical properties. Finally, the observed FTIR characteristics of the deposited film are monitored to produce a film having the desired optical and mechanical properties. This technique permits the production of high quality optical films with reduced stress.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device which includes an interface between a metal layer and a barrier layer of a nitride of a refractory metal, comprising the steps of depositing the barrier layer onto a wafer at high temperature; subjecting the barrier layer to a mixture of oxygen or an oxygen-containing gas and an inert gas in the presence of a plasma at low pressure and for a time sufficient to oxidize the surface of the barrier layer; removing the oxygen-containing gas; and depositing the metal layer onto the oxidized surface without subjecting said wafer to an air break. The method permits high throughput to be achieved at low cost.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor wafer, which includes performing a first metallization to deposit a first layer of interconnect material on a substrate, etching the interconnect material to form interconnect tracks, depositing a first low temperature dielectric layer over the interconnect tracks, planarizing the first low temperature dielectric layer with quasi-inorganic or inorganic spin-on glass by a non-etchback process, depositing a second low temperature dielectric layer over the spin-on glass, etching via holes through the dielectric and spin-on glass layers to reach the tracks of the first interconnect layer, performing an in-situ desorption of physically and chemically bonded water vapour in a dry environment at a temperature of at least 400.degree. C. and not more than 550.degree. C. for a time sufficient to obtain a negligible desorption rate, the temperature exceeding by at least 25.degree. C. the temperature to which the surface of the wafer will be exposed during a subsequent metallization step, and performing the subsequent metallization step to deposit a second interconnect layer extending through the via holes to the first interconnect tracks without re-exposure of the wafer to ambient conditions, and keeping this wafer under vacuum. This technique permits the reliable use of inorganic or quasi-inorganic spin-on glasses in non batch type sputtering equipment.
