Method for reducing lateral extrusion formed in semiconductor structures and semiconductor structures formed thereof |
摘要 |
Aspects of the present invention relate to method for reducing lateral extrusion formed in semiconductor structures and semiconductor structures formed thereof. Various embodiments include a method for reducing lateral extrusion formed in semiconductor structures. The method can include removing a portion of a first lateral extrusion in an aluminum layer of the semiconductor structure, and determining a post-removal thickness of a dielectric layer positioned adjacent the aluminum layer. The post-removal thickness may be determined subsequent to the removing of the portion of the first lateral extrusion. The method can also include determining a difference between the post-removal thickness of the dielectric layer and a pre-removal thickness of the dielectric layer. |

1. A method comprising:
removing a portion of a first lateral extrusion in an aluminum layer of a semiconductor structure; determining a post-removal thickness of a dielectric layer positioned adjacent the aluminum layer subsequent to the removing of the portion of the first lateral extrusion; and determining a difference between the post-removal thickness of the dielectric layer and a pre-removal thickness of the dielectric layer. |
