  • Patent number: 8288295
    Abstract: A semiconductor device having a wiring structure that is enhanced in adhesion between a dielectric thin film and a conductive layer and has high reliability is provided. A method of the invention includes: a step of supplying reactive plasma on a surface of a dielectric thin film in which a plurality of pores are arranged around a skeleton mainly made of a Si—O bond, to perform a pretreatment; a step of forming a conductive film on the surface of the pretreated dielectric thin film by a sputtering method; and before the pretreatment step, bringing a gas containing at least one kind of tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane (TMCTS), hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) and trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS) molecules into contact with the surface of the dielectric thin film.

  • Patent number: 8212338
    Abstract: A semiconductor device (having an interlayer insulating film) which is sufficiently low in the dielectric constant and high in the mechanical strength is provided. A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device includes: a step of forming a dielectric thin film in which a plurality of pores are arranged around a skeleton mainly made of a Si—O bond, on a surface of a semiconductor substrate on which a desired element region is formed; a step of applying patterning on a surface of the dielectric thin film through a mask; and a step of bringing a gas containing at least one kind of tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane (TMCTS), hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) and trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS) molecules into contact with the patterned surface of the dielectric thin film.
