    摘要: Silicon dioxide on a substrate is directionally etched using a hydrogen halide plasma which is created within an etch chamber. The method selectively etches silicon dioxide relative to polysilicon and silicon nitride. A substrate and the combination of NH.sub.3 and NF.sub.3 gases or the combination of CF.sub.4 and O.sub.2 gases mixed with H.sub.2 and N.sub.2 gases are located within an etch chamber. An electrical field is created within the etch chamber causing the gas mixture to form a plasma. The negative charge at the bottom of the chamber attracts the positively charged plasma, thereby etching the substrate in the downward direction. The result is an anisotropic product. The method is also shown to be effective in non-selectively etching thermal and deposited oxides, resulting in a similar etch rate for the different types of oxides.

    摘要: A process and apparatus for Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 CVD on silicon wafers using aluminum tri-isopropoxide in a high-volume production environment is presented. The conditions required to use ATI in a production environment and provide maximum utilization of ATI are first of all delivery of ATI via direct evaporation. The ATI source bottle is pumped out (bypassing substrates) until propene and isopropanol signals are reduced to 1% of process pressure before start of aluminum oxide deposition. Either IR spectroscopy or mass spectrometry can be used to provide a control signal to the microprocessor controller. Heating the supplied tetramer to 120.degree. C. for two hours assures complete conversion to trimer. The ATI is stored at 90.degree. C. to minimize decomposition during idle periods and allow recovery of trimer upon return to 120.degree. C. for two hours. During periods of demand, the ATI is held at 120.degree. C. to minimize decomposition.
