    摘要: An etching method for use in integrated circuit fabrication includes providing a metal nitride layer on a substrate assembly, providing regions of cobalt silicide on first portions of the metal nitride layer, and providing regions of cobalt on second portions of the metal nitride layer. The regions of cobalt and the second portions of the metal nitride layer are removed with at least one solution including a mineral acid and a peroxide. Further, the removal of the regions of cobalt and the second portions of the metal nitride layer may include a one-step process or a two-step process. In the one-step process, the regions of cobalt and the second portions of the metal nitride layer are removed with a single solution including the mineral acid and the peroxide. In the two-step process, the regions of cobalt are removed with a first solution containing a mineral acid and a peroxide and the second portions of the metal nitride layer are removed with a second solution containing a peroxide.

    摘要: A silicon etching method includes providing a substrate assembly including an exposed silicon region and an exposed oxide region. An etch composition including an ammonium fluoride component, an inorganic acid component, and an oxidizing agent is also provided. The etch composition has a pH in the range of about 7.0 to about 8.0. The substrate assembly is exposed to the etch composition. Exposing the substrate assembly to the etch composition may result in etching the exposed silicon region at an etching rate that is greater than about 3 times the etching rate of the exposed oxide region and/or etching the silicon region at an etch rate greater than about 9 Å/minute. The etching method may be used in forming isolation structures. Further, etch compositions for performing the desired etch are provided.

    摘要: Electroplating systems that include a plurality of electrodes, a power supply operably coupled to the plurality of electrodes, a platen for bearing a substrate on which metal features are to be formed, and an electrode support are disclosed. The electrode support may be configured for suspending the electrode assembly over an upper surface of the substrate disposed on the platen in spaced relation to and in alignment with the substrate or for supporting the electrode assembly in a stationary position over the substrate when the voltage is applied across the plurality of electrodes. The electrodes may be adjacent, mutually spaced and electrically isolated and connected in series so as to be oppositely polarized when the voltage is applied thereacross or may be connected so as to have alternating polarities when the voltage is applied thereacross.

    摘要: A single crystal silicon etching method includes providing a single crystal silicon substrate having at least one trench therein. The substrate is exposed to a buffered fluoride etch solution which undercuts the silicon to provide lateral shelves when patterned in the direction. The resulting structure includes an undercut feature when patterned in the direction.
