  • Publication number: 20200312711
    Abstract: An opening is formed within a dielectric material overlying a semiconductor substrate. The opening may comprise a via portion and a trench portion. During the manufacturing process a treatment chemical is placed into contact with the exposed surfaces in order to release charges that have built up on the surfaces. By releasing the charges, a surface change potential difference is reduced, helping to prevent galvanic corrosion from occurring during further manufacturing.
