A method for allowing the removal of a TEOS etch mask layer utilizing an anisotropic technique such as reactive ion etching. The use of the anisotropic technique results in substantially less undercutting of the pad oxide layer than wet chemical etching techniques. One embodiment of the invention involves forming a polysilicon etch stop layer under the pad TEOS layer.

摘要:
The present invention is an apparatus for distributing reactant gases across the substrate mounted in a reaction chamber. The apparatus is capable of being utilized in both vapor deposition and etching processes. The apparatus substantially compensates for the problem of non-uniformity of vapor deposition and etching at the edges of the wafers caused by gas depletion. A gas distribution plate having a plurality of apertures extending therethrough is attached to an interior surface of the reaction chamber. At least one vacuum sealed partition is disposed between a surface of the gas distribution plate and the interior surface of the chamber. The partition separates the space between the plate and reaction chamber into gas distribution zones. A gas inlet is connected to each gas distribution zone. Each gas inlet line has at least one mass flow controller which regulates the flow of gas to each gas distribution zone. The mass flow controllers are utilized to ensure a uniform rate of chemical vapor deposition or etching across the surface of the substrate.

摘要:
A method of forming a self-aligned contact hole, in particular a bitline contact, includes steps of first depositing a sacrificial polysilicon layer (4) on a spacer dielectric film (3), and thereafter patterning the polysilicon. The polysilicon layer is a sacrificial fill-in for a bitline contact stud. The method further includes depositing a middle-of-line (MOL) oxide (6) on the polysilicon layer (4), and planarizing the MOL oxide by chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP). Thereafter, the polysilicon layer (4) is etched away and the spacer dielectric film (3) is etched to form a self-aligned bitline contact.
