Abstract:
The invention has for its object to provide a process of producing a conducting material suitable for being filled in TSVs for LSI chip 3D package, etc. A solution containing a monomer that provides a conducting polymer, anions, and metal ions such as Ag + or Cu 2+ is irradiated with ultraviolet radiation or light having the energy necessary for exciting electrons up to an energy level capable of reducing the metal ions to precipitate a conducting polymer/metal composite. This enables an electrical conductor of high electrical conductivity to be precipitated faster than could be achieved by conventional processes.
Abstract:
By using silicon oxynitride with an oxygen content of 4.2 to 37.5 at% as a material for a barrier layer, adhesiveness similar to that of silicon oxide and an Ag diffusion prevention property similar to that of silicon nitride can be realized. In particular, in a semiconductor device in which a plurality of silicon chips is vertically stacked by through-silicon vias, Ag is prevented from being diffused into Si and adhesiveness to Si becomes favorable when an Ag/polypyrrole complex is used as a conductive filling material used for the formation of a barrier layer provided on the inner surface of the via.
Abstract:
A resist film structure is provided, which allows a resist layer to have improved photosensitivity to EUV or electron beams without changing the photosensitivity of the resist material itself. A metal layer 1 with a thickness as small as a nanometer level is provided on a resist polymer layer 2 formed on a substrate 3. When the resist layer in this structure is exposed to light, the metal layer 1 produces a surface plasmon effect to enhance the irradiation to the resist film, so that the photosensitivity of the resist film is improved.
Abstract:
A conductive polymer-metal complex becomes to be adhered simply and strongly on the surface of a substrate such as PTFE. By subjecting a solution containing a monomer which provides a conductive polymer, an anion, and a metal ions such as Ag + , Cu 2+ , Cu + and the like to an irradiation with light having an energy required for exciting an electron to an energy level capable of reducing the metal ion, such as ultraviolet light, under an appropriated condition, thereby precipitating the conductive polymer-metal complex as being dispersed in the reaction liquid. By supplying this dispersion liquid onto various substrates, the complex microparticles in the dispersion liquid enter into and mate with the narrow holes on the surface of the substrate. As a result, the complex precipitate formed on the surface of the substrate and the substrate can be adhered strongly to each other.
