摘要:
Methods are described which comprise: providing a plasma etching apparatus having an etching chamber; disposing a substrate to be etched in the chamber; introducing N2 gas and one or more process gases into the chamber; and etching the substrate, wherein the introduction of the N2 gas is stopped prior to etching, and wherein etching comprises an initial plasma ignition wherein at least a portion of the N2 gas remains present in the chamber during initial plasma ignition. Additional methods are described which comprise: providing a plasma etching apparatus having an etching chamber; disposing a substrate to be etched in the chamber; introducing N2 gas and one or more process gases into the chamber; applying power to an electrode in the chamber such that an N2 memory species is formed; and etching the substrate, where the introduction of the N2 gas into the chamber can be stopped prior to etching. Other methods are also described which comprise: providing a plasma etching apparatus having an etching chamber; disposing a substrate to be etched in the chamber; introducing N2 gas into the chamber; applying power to an electrode in the chamber such that an N2 memory species is formed; removing the applied power from the electrode in the chamber; stopping the introduction of the N2 gas into the chamber and introducing one or more process gases into the chamber; and etching the substrate.

A method of forming a semiconductor structure is provided. First, a target layer and a mask layer are sequentially formed on a substrate. Thereafter, a first pattern transfer layer having a plurality of openings is formed on the mask layer. Afterwards, a second pattern transfer layer is formed in the openings of the first pattern transfer layer. The mask layer is then patterned, using the first pattern transfer layer and the second pattern transfer layer as a mask, so as to form a patterned mask layer. Further, the target layer is patterned using the patterned mask layer.

摘要:
A method for forming a dielectric is provided. The method includes providing a substrate having a silicon-containing semiconductor layer within a process chamber. The process chamber is capable of ionizing a process precursor to a plasma comprising an oxygen-containing element and a fluorocarbon-containing element. A surface portion of the silicon-containing material is oxidized by using the plasma to convert the surface portion into an oxidized dielectric material.

An integrated circuit described herein includes a substrate and a plurality of lines overlying the substrate. The lines define a plurality of first trenches and a plurality of second trenches. The plurality of first trenches extend into the substrate a distance different than that of the plurality of second trenches. Adjacent pairs of lines are separated by a first trench in the plurality of first trenches, and each pair of lines comprises a first line and a second line defining a corresponding second trench in the plurality of second trenches.
