摘要:
Aufgrund mangelnder Anisotropie bei der Gasphasenätzung von Metallen, Metalloxiden und deren Gemische können häufig nur schräge Ätzprofile erreicht werden, die häufig dem Ätzprofil einer rein physikalischen Ätzung entsprechen. Grund dafür ist, daß zumeist nichtflüchtige Metallverbindungen durch die Gasphasenätzung entstehen. Durch die Beimischung von Komplexbildnern, wie Kohlenmonoxid oder Phosphin bzw. Phosphinderivate, werden anstatt der schwerflüchtigen Metallsalze leichtflüchtige Metallkomplexe erzeugt, so daß die Anisotropie der Ätzung stark erhöht werden kann.
摘要:
Pitting in active regions along the edges of a gate electrode when etching a composite comprising an anti-reflective coating on polysilicon is avoided by etching the anti-reflective coating with an etchant that forms a protective passivating coating on at least the sidewalls of the etched anti-reflective pattern and on the underlying polysilicon layer. Subsequently, anisotropic etching is conducted to remove the protective passivating coating from the surface of the polysilicon layer, leaving the etched anti-reflective pattern protected from the main polysilicon etch on at least its sidewalls by the passivating coating to prevent interaction. In another embodiment, the anti-reflective coating is etched without formation of a passivating coating, and the polysilicon layer subsequently etched with an etchant that forms a passivating coating.

摘要:
@ A plasma processor for dry etching in a fabricating process for an integrated circuit semiconductor device comprises a plasma generating region (12) formed in a part of a waveguide through which microwave power is transmitted. An etchant gas is introduced into the plasma generating region and a plasma is generated by the microwave power applied thereto. The plasma generating region and the reacting region (4) are kept at a specific gas pressure by means of an evacuating device (17). The radicals (active etching species) react with a wafer (1) placed on a base plate (15) in the reacting region. According to the invention wafer (1) is etched by the etchant gas while being plated said gas blown out from holes (13) arranged in the base plate (15). With such a floating wafer processing method a higher processing rate and an improved etching uniformity can be obtained.
摘要:
A method for patterning a layer having a high reflectance includes directly forming on a layer (13) having a high reflectance a light-absorbing film (21) having a ratio of transmitted light intensity to exposing incident light intensity of not more than 30% and forming a photosensitive material film (14) on the light-absorbing film (21). A selected region of the photosensitive material film (14) is irradiated with the exposing incident light, and the photosensitive material film (14) is developed to form a first pattern (14'). The light-absorbing film (21) is selectively etched using the first pattern (14') as a mask so as to form a second pattern (21'). Finally, the layer (13) having the high reflectance is selectively etched using the second pattern (21') as a mask.
