Problems solved by technology

However, this method of limiting the interval time (Q time) between the aluminum alloy passivation layer forming step (step 6) and the polyimide protective layer forming step (step 7) is not particularly reliable, once the Q time is exceeded , lattice defects will be generated in the pad area
Moreover, lattice defects were found in the pad area even after the polyimide protective layer was formed
These defects can negatively affect the reliability of DRAM

Abstract

This invention discloses a method for removing lattice defect in the pad zone, after forming an Al alloy purification layer and before forming a polyimide protection layer on the pad, it is tested that if the lattice defect exists in the pad, if so, the organic solvent of EKC and ACT cleaning process is made to remove the lattice defect in the zone.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the method for removing the lattice defect in the bonding pad (PAD) region of semiconductor device, particularly relate to the method for cleaning and removing the lattice defect in the bonding pad (PAD) region of semiconductor device with organic solvent (EKC, ACT etc.) , especially a method for cleaning and removing lattice defects in a pad (PAD) region of a dynamic random access memory (hereinafter referred to as DRAM) with an organic solvent (EKC, ACT, etc.). Background technique [0002] Semiconductor devices include various types of active devices. For example, dynamic random access memory (DRAM) is a semiconductor device with a multi-layer structure. In order to connect components formed in various film layers together to form a complete DRAM, and the required electronic circuit modules are formed by connecting DRAM with other semiconductor devices or other electronic components. To complete these connections, ma...
