Abstract

See full text

Provided is a method for removing barrier layer for minimizing sidewall recess. The method comprises the following steps: introduce noble-gas-halogen compound gas and carrier gas into an etching chamber within which a thermal gas phase etching process is being performed for etching a barrier layer (206) on non-recessed areas of an interconnection structure (501); detect an end point of the thermal gas phase etching process (502), if the thermal gas phase etching process reaches the end point end point, then execute the next step; if the thermal gas phase etching process doesn't reach the end point, then return to the previous step; stop introducing the noble-gas-halogen compound gas and the carrier gas to the etching chamber (503).
