摘要:
A method of removing metal-containing polymeric material and ion implanted or plasma damaged photoresist from a surface using a plasma jet system, by generating radicals having high energy and high density from atmospheric plasma by introducing a reactant gas to the plasma, and placing the surface at a distance from the plasma, whereby ionic reaction on the surface is minimized while the removing action of the radicals on the surface is maintained.
摘要:
A method for etching a dielectric layer is provided. The dielectric layer is disposed over a substrate and below a patterned mask having a line-space pattern. The method includes (a) providing an etchant gas comprising CF4, COS, and an oxygen containing gas, (b) forming a plasma from the etchant gas, and (c) etching the dielectric layer into the line-space pattern through the mask with the plasma from the etchant gas. The gas flow rate of CF4 may have a ratio greater than 50% of a total gas flow rate of all reactive gas components. The gas flow rate of COS may be between 1% and 50%. The method reduces bowing in etching of the dielectric layer by adding COS to the etchant gas.
摘要:
A method for selectively etching an ultra high aspect ratio feature dielectric layer through a carbon based mask in an etch chamber is provided. A flow of an etch gas is provided, comprising a fluorocarbon containing molecule and an oxygen containing molecule to the etch chamber. A pulsed bias RF signal is provided. An energizing RF signal is provided to transform the etch gas to a plasma.
摘要:
A nonvolatile memory device includes a semiconductor substrate, a device isolation film, a tunnel insulation film, a plurality of floating gates, an inter-gate dielectric film, and a control gate pattern. Trenches are formed in the substrate that define active regions therebetween. The device isolation film is in the trenches in the substrate. The tunnel insulation film is on the active regions of the substrate. The plurality of floating gates are each on the tunnel insulation film over the active regions of the substrate. The inter-gate dielectric film extends across the floating gates and the device isolation film. The control gate pattern is on the inter-gate dielectric film and extends across the floating gates. A central region of the device isolation film in the trenches has an upper major surface that is recessed below an upper major surface of a surrounding region of the device isolation film in the trenches. An edge of the recessed central region of the device isolation film is aligned with a sidewall of an adjacent one of the floating gates.
