  • Patent number: 6686619
    Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit device and a manufacturing method therefor provide advantages that undulations are prevented from being produced in polycrystal silicon plugs in bit line contact holes and that the undesired phenomenon of transversally etching silicide film at contacts of the bit lines and the polycrystal silicon plugs is avoided. The bit lines formed when forming a first wiring layer are made of a laminate film having a titanium film, a titanium nitride film and a tungsten film, and a titanium silicide film containing nitrogen or oxygen is formed in contact areas of the bit lines and plugs. A titanium silicide film containing nitrogen or oxygen is also formed in contact areas of the first wiring layer and semiconductor substrate. The titanium silicide film may be replaced by silicide film containing nitrogen or oxygen, cobalt silicide film containing nitrogen or oxygen or cobalt silicide film.

  • Patent number: 6329681
    Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit device and a method of manufacturing such a device provides the advantages that undulations are prevented from being produced in the polycrystal silicon plugs in the bit line contact holes and that the undesired phenomenon of transversally etching the silicide film at the contacts of the bit lines and the polycrystal silicon plugs is avoided. The bit lines BL formed at the time of forming a first wiring layer 18 is made of a laminate film having a titanium film 18a, a titanium nitride film 18b and a tungsten film 18c and a titanium silicide film 20 containing nitrogen or oxygen is formed in the contact areas of the bit lines BL and the plugs 19. A titanium silicide film 20 containing nitrogen or oxygen is also formed in the contact areas of the first wiring layer 18 and the semiconductor substrate 1.

  • Patent number: 5972862
    Abstract: There is disclosed a cleaning liquid for producing a semiconductor device which comprises (A) fluorine-containing compound; (B) water-soluble or water-miscible organic solvent; and (C) inorganic acid and/or organic acid, optionally, further comprises (D) quaternary ammonium salt or (D') a specific organic carboxylic acid ammonium salt and/or an organic carboxylic acid amine salt; as well as a process for producing a semiconductor device by forming a resist pattern on a substrate equipped on the surface with an insulating film layer or a metallic electroconductive layer, forming a via hole or electric wiring by dry etching, removing the resist pattern by ashing treatment with oxygen plasma; and effecting an cleaning treatment with the above cleaning liquid. The above cleaning liquid and production process can readily remove the deposit polymer formed in the case of dry etching without impairing metallic film and insulating film.
