A method of pre-treating a mask layer prior to etching an underlying thin film is described. A thin film, such as a dielectric film, is etched using plasma that is enhanced with a ballistic electron beam. In order to reduce the loss of pattern definition, such as line edge roughness effects, the mask layer is treated with an oxygen-containing plasma or halogen-containing plasma or a noble gas plasma or a combination of two or more thereof prior to proceeding with the etching process.

A method and system for introducing a process fluid through a chamber component in a processing system is described. The chamber component comprises a chamber element having a first surface on a supply side of the chamber element and a second surface on a process side of the chamber element, wherein the process side is opposite the supply side. Furthermore, the chamber component comprises a conduit extending through the chamber element from the supply side to the process side, wherein the conduit comprises an inlet configured to receive a process fluid and an outlet configured to distribute the process fluid.

A method and system for dynamically controlling a process chemistry above a substrate is described. The system for adjusting the process chemistry comprises a ring configured to surround a peripheral edge of a substrate in a vacuum processing system. The ring comprises one or more gas distribution passages formed within the ring and configured to supply an additive process gas through an upper surface of the ring to the peripheral region of the substrate, wherein the one or more gas distribution passages are configured to be coupled to one or more corresponding gas supply passages formed within the substrate holder upon which the ring rests.

A system and method for resolving an identity includes a security console, which displays security information regarding a secure network. The security information includes at least a first identity used to access the secure network. An operator selects the first identity, and the security console sends it to a resolver. The resolver connects with an identity server to find an access session record with an identity matching the first identity. A second identity is extracted from this record, and the resolver returns a result that includes the second identity. The security console displays the second identity; The first identity can be a user identity of a user, where the second identity is corresponding host identity, or vise versa. In this manner, an efficient interface to security information is provided to an operator, where the operator may resolve a user/host identity to a host/user identity interactively.

A method of pre-treating a mask layer prior to etching an underlying thin film is described. A thin film, such as a dielectric film, is etched using plasma that is enhanced with a ballistic electron beam. In order to reduce the loss of pattern definition, such as line edge roughness effects, the mask layer is treated with a hydrocarbon chemistry or hydrofluorocarbon chemistry or fluorocarbon chemistry or combination of two or more thereof prior to proceeding with the etching process.

A method and system for treating a substrate using a ballistic electron beam is described, whereby the radial uniformity of the electron beam flux is adjusted by modulating the source radio frequency (RF) power. For example, a plasma processing system is described having a first RF power coupled to a lower electrode, which may support the substrate, a second RF power coupled to an upper electrode that opposes the lower electrode, and a negative high voltage direct current (DC) power coupled to the upper electrode to form the ballistic electron beam. The amplitude of the second RF power is modulated to affect changes in the uniformity of the ballistic electron beam flux.

A method for plasma processing a high-k layer includes providing a substrate having a high-k layer formed thereon, on a substrate holder in a process chamber, and creating a plasma in the process chamber to thereby expose the high-k layer to the plasma. RF power is applied to the substrate holder, the RF power having a characteristic to reduce a rate of formation of an oxide interface layer located between the substrate and the high-k layer. A device includes a feature etched in a high-k layer. The etch profile of the device can include a reduced bird's beak, and a surface of the substrate in an etched region can be substantially coplanar with a substrate under a non-etched area.

An apparatus and method are described for etching Ni-containing films using gas phase plasma etching. Etching of Ti—Ni alloys is carried out by exposure to plasma comprising hydrogen halide (HX) and carbonyl etching gases. The Ti in the Ti—Ni alloy is etched via an ion-assisted reaction with HX and the Ni is etched by reacting with CO. The method is particularly well suited for anisotropic etching of Ti—Ni metal gates for CMOS applications. Etching of Ni—Fe layers is carried out by exposure to plasma comprising a carbonyl etching gas.
