Methods of reducing corrosion of materials, methods of protecting aluminum within aluminum-comprising layers from electrochemical degradation during semiconductor processing methods of forming aluminum- comprising lines
In one aspect, the invention includes a semiconductor processing method of reducing corrosion of a material, comprising exposing the material to a liquid solution comprising at least about 5% (by atomic percent) of an oxygen-comprising oxidant to form an oxide layer over the material. In another aspect, the invention includes a semiconductor processing method of forming an aluminum-comprising line within a layer of material, comprising: a) forming a layer of material over a semiconductive substrate; b) forming trenches within the layer of material; c) forming an aluminum-comprising layer within the trenches and over the layer of material; d) planarizing the aluminum-comprising layer to form aluminum-comprising lines within the material, the planarizing comprising abrading a portion of the aluminum-comprising layer with a first fluid, the first fluid comprising a slurry; and e) displacing the slurry with a second fluid comprising at least about 5% (by atomic percent) of ozone.
