Abstract

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, includes: forming a resin layer with a resin containing an aromatic compound on a surface, where an electrode is formed, of a semiconductor substrate, by avoiding at least part of the electrode; removing an oxide film from a surface of the electrode using Ar gas and carbonizing the surface of the resin layer to form a carbonized layer; forming wiring from the electrode to over the carbonized layer; and etching, after forming the wiring, the carbonized layer by O 2 plasma using the wiring as a mask so as to remove the carbonized layer partially.

Claims (19)

1. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising:

forming a resin layer including a resin containing an aromatic compound on a first surface, of a semiconductor substrate;

forming an opening in the resin layer such that the opening is formed on an electrode that is formed on the first surface of the semiconductor substrate;

making at least part of a surface of the resin layer uneven by O 2 plasma after forming the opening such that an oxide film is formed on at least a part of a surface of the electrode;

removing the oxide film from a surface of the electrode using Ar gas and carbonizing the surface of the resin layer to form a carbonized layer;

forming wiring from the electrode to over the carbonized layer; and

etching, after forming the wiring, the carbonized layer by O 2 plasma using the wiring as a mask so as to remove the carbonized layer partially.

2. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising:

forming a resin layer on a first surface of a semiconductor substrate

forming an opening in the resin layer such that the opening is formed on an electrode that is formed on the first surface of the semiconductor substrate;

making at least a part of a surface of the resin layer uneven by O 2 plasma after forming the opening such that an oxide film is formed on at least a part of a surface of the electrode;

removing at least a part of the oxide film, at least a part of the resin layer being converted into a carbonized layer during the removing the at least a part of the oxide film;

forming a plurality of wirings such that at least a part of plurality of the wirings is formed on the carbonized layer; and

removing at least a part of the carbonized layer by using the plurality of wirings as a mask, the removing the at least a part of the carbonized layer occurring after the formation of the wirings.

3. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to claim 2 , wherein the removing the at least a part of the oxide film is performed by using Ar gas.

4. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to claim 2 , wherein the removing the at least a part of the carbonized layer is performed by etching at least a part of the carbonized layer with O 2 plasma.

5. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to claim 2 , wherein the resin layer includes a resin containing an aromatic compound.

6. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to claim 2 , wherein the removing the at least a part of the carbonized layer occurring such that a portion of the carbonized layer disposed between two of the plurality of wirings is removed.

7. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to claim 6 , wherein removing the at least a part of the carbonized layer suppresses a leak between the two wirings.
