    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for the patterning of a stack comprising elements that do not form volatile compounds during conventional reactive ion etching. More specifically said element(s) are Lanthanide elements such as Ytterbium (Yb) and the patterning preferably relates to the dry etching of silicon and/or germanium comprising structures (e.g. gates) doped with a Lanthanide e.g. Ytterbium (Yb doped gates). In case said silicon and/or germanium comprising structure is a gate electrode the silicon and/or germanium is doped with a Lanthanide (e.g. Yb) for modeling the work function of a gate electrode.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a method for the selective removal of rare earth based high-k materials such as rare earth scandate high-k materials (e.g. DyScO 3 ) over silicon or silicon dioxide. As an example Dy and Sc comprising high-k materials are used as a high-k material in gate stacks of a semiconductor device. The selective removal and etch of this high-k material is very difficult since Dy and Sc (and their oxides) are difficult to etch. The etching could however be easily stopped on them. The Dy and Sc chlorides are not volatile, but they are water soluble. This behavior makes it possible that the surface layer of Dy and Sc comprising high-k materials gets chlorinated during exposure to the Cl-containing plasma and can be removed after etch by a water rinse.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for the selective removal of a high-k layer such as HfO 2 over silicon or silicon dioxide.
    More specifically a method for etching high-k selectively over silicon and silicon dioxide and a plasma composition for performing said selective etch process is disclosed.
    Using a BCl 3 plasma with well defined concentrations of nitrogen makes it possible to etch high-k with at a reasonable etch rate while silicon and silicon dioxide have an etch rate of almost zero.

    摘要: The present invention relates to plasma composition and its use in a method for the dry etching of a stack of at least one material chemically too reactive towards the use of a Cl-based plasma.
    Small amounts of nitrogen (5% up to 10%) can be added to a BCl 3 comprising plasma and used in an anisotropical dry etching method whereby a passivation film is deposited onto the vertical sidewalls of stack etched for protecting the vertical sidewalls from lateral attack such that straight profiles can be obtained.
