Abstract

See full text

An improved process is described for the post-etching treatment after subtractive etching of aluminum and aluminum-alloy layers in the fabrication of semiconductor integrated circuit devices. The improvement consists of in situ exposure immediately after subtractive etching of the metal pattern to a reactive plasma sustained in a mixture of oxygen and carbon tetrafluoride gases by continuous radiofrequency power input for a controlled period of time.
