Abstract:
The present technology relates to techniques of preventing intrusion of moisture into a chip. Various illustrative embodiments include image sensors that include: a substrate; a plurality of layers stacked on the substrate; the plurality of layers including a photodiode layer having a plurality of photodiodes formed on a surface of the photodiode layer; the plurality of layers including at least one layer having a groove formed such that a portion of the at least one layer is excavated; and a transparent resin layer formed above the photodiode layer and formed in the groove. The present technology can be applied to, for example, an image sensor.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a manufacturing method of a semiconductor device for reforming the surface of the damage layer of an interlayer insulating film, which is formed by dry etching, especially removing moisture remaining in a low dielectric constant insulating film (Low-k film) being the interlayer insulating film and restoring damage by plasma. SOLUTION: The manufacturing method of the semiconductor device has a process for patterning the interlayer insulating film 4 formed in the semiconductor substrate 2 by dry etching, a process for cleaning the semiconductor substrate 2 having the interlayer insulating film 4, a process for drying the semiconductor substrate 2 having the interlayer insulating film 4 under reduced pressure, and a process for reforming the surface of the damage layer 10 in the interlayer insulating film 4 by dry etching. Drying under reduced pressure and surface reforming are continuously performed without exposing to atmosphere. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a substrate cleaning equipment which can clean whole surface of a substrate such as a wafer or the like in uniformity and efficiency, and a cleaning method of the substrate. SOLUTION: In the cleaning method of the substrate in which the substrate is cleaned in such a way that the substrate is rotated horizontally, and that cleaning liquid is jetted while a nozzle is transferred in a to-and-fro motion in a radial direction of the rotating substrate, the revolution speed of the substrate and/or the transfer speed of the nozzle are made variable. Further, after jetting the cleaning liquid while the above-mentioned nozzle is transferred, the method has a process of removing the cleaning liquid on the substrate by centrifugal force, and the revolution speed of the substrate is slowed down gradually when the above-mentioned nozzle is transferred toward the periphery edge of the substrate, when the nozzle is transferred toward a substrate center from the periphery edge of the substrate, and when the cleaning liquid is removed by the centrifugal force.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sheet type washing method and its washing apparatus which can reduce defects on a substrate by rapidly performing transition to rinsing treatment without being influenced by a chemical liquid component, and suppressing the residue of a polymer or a chemical liquid. SOLUTION: The sheet type washing method includes a step of washing a substrate 30 to be washed with the chemical liquid 8, a rinsing liquid 14 while rotating the substrate 30 to be washed. After a nozzle 10 for the chemical liquid is moved on the substrate 30 to be washed and treated with the chemical liquid, the rinsing liquid 14 is discharged from a rinsing nozzle 16 fixed and arranged at a position free from interferring with the movement of the nozzle 10 for the chemical liquid, and the substrate 30 to be washed is treated to be rinsed.
