Embodiment Construction
[0044] The present invention relates to a semiconductor device processing method and device. More specifically, the present invention relates to removing or etching barrier layers, such as tantalum / tantalum nitride, suitable for low-k dielectric materials. This facilitates various applications of low-k materials in semiconductor devices.
[0045] Figure 1 to Figure 4 Shown is the combination of some new processes in semiconductor processing: copper removal by stress-free polishing, etchant to remove tantalum oxide formed on the surface of the barrier layer during copper polishing, and selective xenon difluoride gas The barrier layer tantalum / tantalum nitride is removed by etching. Among them, no matter the electrochemical copper throwing, the removal of tantalum oxide, or the etching barrier layer of xenon difluoride are all processes without mechanical force. This set of processes thus minimizes mechanical damage to the semiconductor structure, minimizes blanketing effect...
