Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We have revealed for the first time that a TiOx/TiFx mixed layer formed by a via hole etching process causes high contact resistance in the case of a Ti/Al structure for the lst metal, and that this phenomenon is not observed for a TiN/Al structure. The Ti surface changes into a TiOx/TiFx/TiCx mixed layer by C-F plasma exposure. Subsequently, the O_2 plasma in the resist removal process replaces C atoms with 0 or F atoms. Moreover, the TiOx/TiFx layer can be easily removed by conventional Ar sputter etching and, as a result, the via contact resistance is successfully reduced.
