Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a method of cleaning a wafer, and more particularly to a method of cleaning a wafer after etching. [Prior Art] A damascene process is a technique in which a metal interconnect is skillfully embedded in an insulating layer. The method is based on the pattern of the conductors in the dielectric layer on the substrate, as well as the connection of the dielectric layer and the opening of the contact window. Then, a metal layer is deposited on the substrate to fill the trench window π to simultaneously form metal wires and vias. Due to the dual metal service method, the method of forming a via window and then forming a metal wire can avoid the problem of overlay error and process deviation (Pr〇cess Deviati〇n) in the lithography. This increases the reliability of the component and increases the process capability. Therefore, after the component is highly integrated, dual damascene has gradually become a technology used in the semiconductor industry. However, in the process of engraving the dielectric layer to form the trench and the opening of the contact window, a metal material such as titanium nitride is often used as the engraving mask, and the gas is contained in the CxFy compound. Will form a long carbon chain polymer, and the long carbon chain polymer shirt or long carbon bond polymer and the metal ion, other reaction gas or photoresist material formed by the electric shock will form a crystal surface. In addition, after the end of the secret, the residual fluorine adheres to the surface of the wafer and reacts with the metal ions in the metal mask layer (4) into a metal fluoride such as titanium fluoride. This fare and gold fluoride 5 026465 UMCD-2005-0S28 18213twf.d〇c/n genus residue will cause poor electrical properties of the component. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the metal fluoride in the future. * After the advancing, these polymers and ... know-how technical towels have a kind of wet-dry-thirsty type to remove these polymers: the main, the Zhu system is in order to enter the system / month wash process The three-stage cleaning method. The first wet cleaning process is the separation of the younger brother-human face, and then the softening of the rod and the dry cleaning process with the wafer is the second step of the group of people I / μ I The second • bran, in the household... month laundry to remove the remaining polymer. In the wet cleaning process that is carried out, the main 咮β liquid is made alkaline, and the n-layer is used to cause damage. The metal in the base of the sigma of the stomach is different from the metal in the substrate. The removal force of the above polymer is not good. Therefore, the ============================================================ • The fine removal of p material is a complicated process for riding a three-stage cleaning system, which limits the production capacity. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a polymer which is formed on the surface of a wafer and which is effective in removing the wafer after the last name. A further object of the present invention is to provide a method for cleaning wafers after engraving, which can prevent the effects of residues of polymers and fluoride metals on the electrical properties of the components, thereby improving the performance of the components. 6 1326465 UMCD-2005-0528 18213twf.doc/n The present invention provides a method for cleaning a wafer after etching, which firstly provides an etch stop layer, a dielectric layer and a patterned metal hard mask layer.
