    • A method for anti-corrosion etching of metal interconnections, comprised in part of an aluminum layer, is achieved. The metal lines form self-aligned contacts (SAC) in contact openings in a polysilicon/metal dielectric (PMD) layer to a patterned underlying polysilicon layer. The method involves performing an oxygen ashing step in the same etching chamber immediately after etching the aluminum lines in a halogen gas, such as BCl.sub.3 and Cl.sub.2. This method using oxygen ashing avoids the use of the more traditional passivation gases CHF.sub.3 and CF.sub.4 which can overetch the polysilicon exposed in the SAC process that would cause electrical opens. And further, it avoids the formation of a polymer residue which is difficult to remove. The oxygen treatment reduces the Cl.sub.2 on the sidewalls of the Al lines, and also removes portions of the photoresist mask material containing Cl.sub.2. It is also easier to remove the remaining photoresist in a solvent stripping process. SEM measurements of the etch bias of the photoresist critical dimension also indicate the formation of a redeposition on the Al sidewalls which further protects the Al from corrosion when the wafers are removed from the etch chamber and are exposed to moisture.
    • 实现了在铝层的一部分中包含金属互连的抗腐蚀蚀刻的方法。 金属线在多晶硅/金属电介质(PMD)层的接触开口中形成自对准接触(SAC)到图案化的下层多晶硅层。 该方法包括在蚀刻卤素气体如BCl 3和Cl 2中的铝线之后立即在相同的蚀刻室中进行氧化灰化步骤。 这种使用氧灰的方法避免使用更传统的钝化气体CHF3和CF4,其可以过蚀刻在SAC工艺中暴露的将导致电气打开的多晶硅。 此外,它避免了难以除去的聚合物残余物的形成。 氧处理减少了Al线的侧壁上的Cl2,并且还去除了含有Cl 2的光致抗蚀剂掩模材料的部分。 在溶剂汽提过程中也更容易除去剩余的光致抗蚀剂。 光致抗蚀剂临界尺寸的蚀刻偏差的SEM测量也表明在Al侧壁上形成再沉积,当晶片从蚀刻室中移除并暴露于湿气时,Al侧壁进一步保护Al免受腐蚀。
