摘要:
A method of cleaning a low-k material etched opening, comprising the following steps. A semiconductor structure having an exposed device therein is provided. An etch stop layer is formed over the semiconductor structure and the exposed device. A layer of low-k material is formed over the etch stop layer semiconductor structure and device. A patterned layer of photoresist is formed over the low-k material layer. The patterned photoresist layer is used as a mask to etch low-k material layer is etched to form an opening exposing at least a portion of the etch stop layer over the device. The patterned photoresist layer is removed by a low temperature ashing process at a temperature from about 23 to 27° C., and more preferably about 25° C. (room temperature). The exposed portion of the etch stop layer over the device is removed to expose the underlying device by a low pressure, low bias etching process at a pressure from about 8 to 12 milli-Torr and a bias power from about 25 to 35 W. The exposed underlying device and the opening are cleaned by removing any remaining low pressure, low bias etch polymer and etch residue by a fully dry-type cleaning process using an H2He gas.
摘要:
An improved etching procedure that uses three processing steps to vastly improve HAR opening profile and improved under-layer selectivity. A new three sequence etching process is provided during which a new three-gas plasma etch is to be used. This new etching sequence is preceded by a new main etch that uses three gasses and followed by a new over-etch procedure that uses the same three gasses and etching conditions as the new main etch.
