    摘要: A patterning method is provided. A patterned photoresist layer is formed on a bottom anti-reflective coating (BARC), having therein an opening exposing a portion of the BARC. The patterned photoresist layer is treated with a first plasma-generating gas including a fluorocarbon species to form a polymer layer on the surface of the PR layer and the sidewall of the opening. The patterned photoresist layer is used as a mask to etch the BARC with a second plasma-generating gas, which includes Ar and H2 but no fluorocarbon species or oxygen-containing species, to remove the exposed portion of the BARC.

    摘要: Disclosed is a semiconductor manufacturing process, in which a fluorine radical-containing plasma is used to etch a hard mask and a layer therebeneath; and a treatment is carried out using a gas reactive to fluorine radicals for reacting with residual fluorine radicals to form a fluorine-containing compound and remove it. Thus, precipitates formed by the reaction of fluorine radicals and titanium components existing in the hard mask to cause a process defect can be avoided.

The substrate includes a metal material layer, a dielectric layer covering the metal material layer and a hard mask layer covering the dielectric layer. The hard mask layer has at least one opening to expose the underlying dielectric layer.

    摘要: A method of removing post-etch residues is provided. First, a substrate is provided. An isolation layer covers the substrate and a conductive layer is embedded in the isolation layer. A dielectric layer and a hard mask cover the isolation layer. Then, an etching process is performed, and a patterned hard mask is formed by etching the hard mask by ions or atoms. After that, a charge-removing process is performed by using a conductive solution to cleaning the patterned hard mask and the dielectric layer so as to remove the charges accumulated on the patterned hard mask and the dielectric layer during the etch process. Finally, the post-etch residues on the patterned hard mask and the dielectric layer is removed.
