Modulated metal removal using localized wet etching |
abstract |
An apparatus for wet etching metal from a semiconductor wafer comprises a wafer holder for rotating a wafer and a plurality of nozzles for applying separate flow patterns of etching liquid to the surface of the wafer. The flow patterns impact the wafer in distinct band-like impact zones. The flow pattern of etching liquid from at least one nozzle is modulated during a total etching time control the cumulative etching rate in one local etch region relative to the cumulative etching rate in one or more other local etch regions. Some embodiments include a lower etch chamber and an upper rinse chamber separated by a horizontal splash shield. Some embodiments include a retractable vertical splash shield used to prevent splashing of etching liquid onto the inside walls of a treatment container. An etch-liquid delivery system includes a plurality of nozzle flow paths having corresponding nozzle flow resistances, and a plurality of drain flow paths having corresponding drain flow resistances. Nozzle flow resistances and drain flow resistances are matched so that switching the flow from a nozzle to a corresponding drain flow path does not change the flow rate of etching liquid through other nozzles. A non-wafer-contacting measuring device measures a metal thickness on a rotating semiconductor wafer during metal wet etching by immersing a plurality of electrodes in etching liquid in close proximity to the wafer surface of the rotating wafer and determining electrical resistance between a plurality of electrodes. |
