  • Patent number: 12211737
    Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a method that includes forming a dielectric layer over a conductive structure on a substrate. A removal process is performed to remove a portion of the dielectric layer to expose a portion of the conductive structure. The substrate is transported into a cleaning chamber having a wafer chuck below a bell jar structure. A cleaning process is performed to clean the exposed portion of the conductive structure by turning on a noble gas source to introduce a noble gas within the cleaning chamber, turning on an oxygen gas source to introduce oxygen within the cleaning chamber, applying a first bias to a plasma coil to form a plasma gas, and applying a second bias to the wafer chuck. The substrate is removed from the cleaning chamber. A conductive layer is formed over the dielectric layer and coupled to the conductive structure.
