摘要
We investigated corrosion at AlSiCu/TiN interconnection tines in VLSI devices. This type of corrosion appeared during the deionized water rinse treatment after the dry etching and ashing treatment (with O2 + CF4 gas mixture). The corrosion shape was "pitlike". When added the vacuum heating treatment before the deionized water rinse, the corrosion number was decreased. However, the ashing treatment had a contrary effect for this type of corrosion suppression. We investigated this type of corrosion mechanism by ion-chromatography analysis. In this analysis, residual Cl concentration decreased when the ashing time was prolonged, but the corrosion number was increased significantly. We measured residual F concentration at the same time, and detected a high concentration of F- ions. We consider that these F- ions contribute to this type of corrosion.
