    摘要: A mineral material layer and a photoresist polymer material layer are successively formed on a polymer material (6) supported by a substrate (5). The photoresist polymer material layer is patterned by way of lithography, and the pattern thus defined is transferred to the mineral material layer in order to form a hard mask (7a). The polymer material (6) is then dry etched using a plasma generated from a gas mixture comprising sulphur dioxide (SO 2 ), oxygen (O 2 ) and argon (Ar). The use of sulphur dioxide enables to carry out anisotropic etching in the polymer material (6). Further a good etching selectivity can be achieved thanks to the hard mask (7a).

    摘要: It is an object of the present invention to provide a process for a fluorine containing carbon film (a CF film), which can put an interlayer insulator film of a fluorine containing carbon film into practice.
    A conductive film, e.g., a TiN film 41, is formed on a CF film 4. After a pattern of a resist film 42 is formed thereon, the TiN film 41 is etched with, e.g., BCl 3 gas. Thereafter, when the surface of the wafer is irradiated with O 2 plasma, the CF film is chemically etched, and the resist film 42 is also etched. However, since the TiN film 41 functions as a mask, a predetermined hole can be formed. Although an interconnection layer of aluminum or the like is formed on the surface of the CF film 4, the TiN film 41 functions as an adhesion layer for adhering the interconnection layer to the CF film 4 and serves as a part of the interconnection layer. As the mask, an insulator film of SiO 2 or the like may be substituted for the conductive film.

    摘要: A wafer (11) is conveyed in a vacuum from an Al etching chamber after the Al etching and is fed into an ashing chamber (15) without coming into contact with the atmosphere. After the wafer (11) was conveyed, CH 3 OH gas of 200 sccm is first introduced by a valve (30a) and a pressure is adjusted to 1.2 Torr. Subsequently, a microwave current of 450 mA is supplied, thereby forming a plasma. The wafer (11) is processed by a down-flow system of a CH 3 OH plasma. The supply of the CH 3 OH gas is stopped by closing the valve (30a). Next, oxygen gas of 400 sccm is introduced by opening a valve (30b). A microwave current of 450 mA is supplied at a pressure of 1.2 Torr, thereby forming a plasma. A resist on the wafer 11 is ashed and eliminated by a down-flow process of an oxygen plasma. By those processes, the corrosion prevention and the resist ashing can be perfectly executed.

    摘要: This invention encompasses using anisotropic plasma at a low temperature to strip resist from a semiconductor wafer. A semiconductor wafer 10 is placed in a reactor 26 which contains an oxygen plasma source 28 . The oxygen plasma source 28 emits oxygen plasma 32 which is drawn towards the biased wafer 10 , exposing the resist layer 22 of the wafer to anisotropic oxygen plasma. A sensor 30 detects when the ashing of the resist is complete, and then the plasma source is turned off.
    Advantages of the invention include the ability to remove resist from wafers without damaging polymeric dielectric layers, which are sensitive to the harsh effects of traditional resist removal methods. With the present invention, very little damage occurs to the material on the sidewalls of vias.

    摘要: An etch stop layer of chromium (24) is initially deposited on the circuit elements of the CMOS silicon substrate. Next, a conductive layer of tungsten (26) is non-selectively deposited on the chromium layer (24). A photoresist mask (28) is then lithographically patterned over the tungsten layer (26). The tungsten layer (26) is then etched down to, and stopping at, the chromium layer (24), after which the photoresist mask (28) is stripped. The stripping preferably uses a low temperature plasma etch in O₂ at a temperature of less than 100°C. Finally, a directional O₂ reactive ion etch is used to remove the chromium layer (24) selectively to the silicon substrate.
