    摘要: An anti-reflective coating material layer is provided that has a relatively high etch rate such that it can be removed simultaneously with the cleaning of a defined opening in a relatively short period of time without affecting the critical dimensions of the opening. A method of forming such a layer includes providing a substrate assembly surface and using a gas mixture of at least a silicon containing precursor, a nitrogen containing precursor, and an oxygen containing precursor. The layer is formed at a temperature in the range of about 50° C. to about 600° C. Generally, the anti-reflective coating material layer deposited is SixOyNz:H, where x is in the range of about 0.39 to about 0.65, y is in the range of about 0.02 to about 0.56, z is in the range of about 0.05 to about 0.33, and where the atomic percentage of hydrogen in the inorganic anti-reflective coating material layer is in the range of about 10 atomic percent to about 40 atomic percent. The total SiH4 flow is generally in the range of about 80 sccm to about 400 sccm. The gas mixture may include SiH4 and N2O, where the ratio of SiH4:N2O is in the range of about 0.25 to 0.60. The inorganic anti-reflective coating material layer may be used for defining contact openings, openings for forming capacitor structures, or any other openings in oxide layers.

    摘要: A method for fabricating a substantially smooth-surfaced anti-reflective coating on a semiconductor device structure including generating a plasma from an inert gas in a process chamber in which the anti-reflective coating is to be deposited. The anti-reflective coating may include silicon, oxygen and nitrogen, and is preferably of the general formula SixOyNz, where x equals 0.40 to 0.65, y equals 0.02 to 0.56 and z equals 0.05 to 0.33. Preferably, x+y+z equals one. The method may also include fabricating a silicon nitride layer over the anti-reflective coating. A semiconductor device which includes a silicon nitride layer over the anti-reflective coating has a density of less than about 40,000 particles or surface roughness features in the silicon nitride of about 120-150 nanometers dimension per eight inch wafer. Accordingly, a mask that is subsequently formed over the silicon nitride layer has a substantially uniform thickness and is substantially distortion-free.

    摘要: A method of forming an oxidation diffusion barrier stack for use in fabrication of integrated circuits includes forming an inorganic antireflective material layer on a semiconductor substrate assembly with an oxidation diffusion barrier layer then formed on the inorganic antireflective material layer. Another method of forming such a stack includes forming a pad oxide layer on the semiconductor substrate assembly with an inorganic antireflective material layer then formed on the pad oxide layer and an oxidation diffusion barrier layer formed on the antireflective material layer. Another method of forming the stack includes forming a pad oxide layer on the semiconductor substrate assembly. A first oxidation diffusion barrier layer is then formed on the pad oxide layer, an inorganic antireflective material layer is formed on the first oxidation diffusion barrier layer, and a second oxidation diffusion barrier layer is formed on the inorganic antireflective material layer. The antireflective material layer may include a layer of material selected from the group of silicon nitride, silicon oxide, and silicon oxynitride and further may be a silicon-rich layer. The oxidation diffusion barrier stacks may be used for oxidation of field regions for isolation in an integration circuit. Further, the various oxidation diffusion barrier stacks are also described.

    摘要: An improved photolithography technique is provided whereby the beneficial effects of using an anti-reflective coating may be realized while maintaining critical dimensions in each subsequent step. This improvement is realized by the treatment of the anti-reflective coating with a gaseous plasma or a solution of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide. By treating the anti-reflective coating with gaseous plasma or solution of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide, no “footing” results and the critical dimensions as set by the photoresist mask are preserved to provide an accurately patterned mask for subsequent steps.
