摘要:
A method for forming a semiconductor device structure is provided. The method includes forming a first metal layer over a substrate, forming a dielectric layer over the first metal layer. The method includes forming a trench in the dielectric layer, and performing a surface treatment process on a sidewall surface of the trench to form a hydrophobic layer. The hydrophobic layer is formed on a sidewall surface of the dielectric layer. The method further includes depositing a metal material in the trench and over the hydrophobic layer to form a via structure.

The present disclosure relates to a wafer cleaning module for post CMP processes that reduces defects (e.g., watermarks, deposited particles) on a substrate, and an associated method. In some embodiments, the wafer cleaning module has a cleaning tank that may receive a semiconductor substrate within a cleaning medium. A pusher is may vertically move the semiconductor substrate from a starting position within the cleaning tank to an ending position. A position sensor may determine a position of the semiconductor substrate relative to a meniscus of the cleaning medium. Based upon the determined position, a control unit is may adjust a location of the starting position to a predetermined distance below the meniscus.

An IC device manufacturing process effectuates a planar recessing of material that initially varies in height across a substrate. The method includes forming a polymer coating, CMP to form a planar surface, then plasma etching to effectuate a planar recessing of the polymer coating. The material can be recessed together with the polymer coating, or subsequently with the recessed polymer coating providing a mask. Any of the material above a certain height is removed. Structures that are substantially below that certain height can be protected from contamination and left intact. The polymer can be a photoresist. The polymer can be provided with suitable adhesion and uniformity for the CMP process through a two-step baking process and by exhausting the baking chamber from below the substrate.

摘要:
Methods of manufacturing a chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) slurry and methods of performing CMP process on a substrate comprising metal features are described herein. The CMP slurry may be manufactured using a balanced concentration ratio of chelator additives to inhibitor additives, the ratio being determined based on an electro potential (Ev) value of a metal material of the substrate. The CMP process may be performed on the substrate based on the balanced concentration ratio of chelator additives to inhibitor additives of the CMP slurry.
