Abstract: The present invention makes it possible to increase the reliability of a semiconductor device. A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device according to the present invention includes a step of removing a patterned resist film and the step of removing a patterned resist film includes the steps of: (A) introducing at least a gas containing oxygen into a processing room; (B) starting electric discharge for transforming the gas containing oxygen into plasma; and (C) introducing a water vapor or an alcohol vapor into the processing room. On this occasion, the step (C) is applied either simultaneously with or after the step (B).

Abstract: Characteristics of a semiconductor device are improved. An opening that exposes a pad region of a top-layer wiring containing aluminum is formed in a protection film over the wiring, and aluminum nitride is formed on a surface of the exposed wiring. Additionally, a silicon nitride film is formed on a back surface of a semiconductor substrate having the wiring. As described above, foreign substances generated over the pad region due to the silicon nitride film on the back surface of the semiconductor substrate can be prevented by providing an aluminum nitride film over the pad region. Particularly, even in a case of requiring time before an inspection step and a bonding step, after a formation step of the pad region, formation reaction of the foreign substances can be prevented in the pad region, and the characteristics of the semiconductor device can be improved.

Abstract: For constituting a pre-metal interlayer insulating film, such a method is considered as forming a CVD silicon oxide-based insulating film having good filling properties by ozone TEOS, reflowing the film to planarize it, stacking a silicon oxide film having good CMP scratch resistance by plasma TEOS, and further planarizing by CMP. However, in forming a contact hole, crack in the pre-metal interlayer insulating film is exposed in the contact hole, into which barrier metal intrudes to cause short-circuit defects. In the present invention, in the pre-metal process, after forming the ozone TEOS film over an etch stop film, the ozone TEOS film is once etched back so as to expose the etch stop film over a gate structure, a plasma TEOS film is formed over the remaining ozone TEOS film, and the plasma TEOS film is planarized by CMP.
