  • Publication number: 20160237569
    Abstract: A semiconductor manufacturing apparatus according to an embodiment includes a heater, a sidewall, and a moving mechanism. The heater is capable of heating a semiconductor substrate. The sidewall is located at an outer edge of the heater and protrudes upward from a mount face of the heater on which the semiconductor substrate is mounted. The moving mechanism relatively moves at least a part of the sidewall and the heater in a substantially perpendicular direction with respect to the mount face.

  • Publication number: 20020028580
    Abstract: There is disclosed a polishing technology without generation of corrosion on an Al-Cu film formed damascene wiring on a semiconductor substrate by the CMP technology. A chelating agent which forms a chelate compound together with Al and Cu, or a chemical substance which is absorbed onto Al and Cu is added into a slurry to polish, and then a thin film of the chelate compound or the chemical substance is formed on the Al-Cu film. This thin film can suppress movement of electrons (cell reaction) from Al to Cu caused in polishing and suppress elution of Al from the Al-Cu film.
