    摘要: A method for making dual pre-doped gate stacks used in semiconductor applications such as complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) devices and metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) is provided. The method involves providing at least one pre-doped conductive layer, such as poly silicon (poly-Si), on a gate stack and etching by exposing the conductive layer to an etching composition comprising at least one carbon containing gas. The carbon containing gas can be selected from gases having the general formula CxHy, such as, for example, CH4, C2H2, C2H4, and C2H6. The carbon containing gas can further be selected from gases having the general formula CxHyA, wherein a can represent one or more additional substituents selected from O, N, P, S, F, Cl, Br, and I. The processes can result in dual pre-doped gate stacks having essentially vertical sidewalls and further having a width of at least about 3 nm, such as from about 5 nm to about 150 nm.

    摘要: Method of operating an apparatus which allows etching different substrate etch areas of a substrate having different pattern densities at essentially the same etch rate. The apparatus includes (a) a chamber; (b) an anode and a cathode in the chamber; and (c) a bias power system coupled to the cathode, wherein the cathode includes multiple cathode segments. The operation method is as follows. A substrate to be etched is placed between the anode and cathode, wherein the substrate includes N substrate etch areas, and the N substrate etch areas are directly above the N cathode segments. N bias powers are determined which when being applied to the N cathode segments during an etching of the substrate, will result in essentially a same etch rate for the N substrate etch areas. Then, the bias power system is used to apply the N bias powers the N cathode segments.

    摘要: A capacitor structure uses an aperture located within a dielectric layer in turn located over a substrate. A pair of conductor interconnection layers embedded within the dielectric layer terminates at a pair of opposite sidewalls of the aperture. A pair of capacitor plates is located upon the pair of opposite sidewalls of the aperture and contacting the pair of conductor interconnection layers, but not filling the aperture. A capacitor dielectric layer is located interposed between the pair of capacitor plates and filling the aperture. The pair of capacitor plates may be formed using an anisotropic unmasked etch followed by a masked trim etch. Alternatively, the pair of capacitor plates may be formed using an unmasked anisotropic etch only, when the pair of opposite sidewalls of the aperture is vertical and separated by a second pair of opposite sidewalls that is outward sloped.

    摘要: Interconnect structures possessing an organosilicate glass interlayer dielectric material with minimal stoichiometeric modification and optionally an intact organic adhesion promoter for use in semiconductor devices are provided herein. The interconnect structure is capable of delivering improved device performance, functionality and reliability owing to the reduced effective dielectric constant of the stack compared with that of those conventionally employed because of the use of a sacrificial polymeric material deposited onto the dielectric and optional organic adhesion promoter during the barrier open step done prior to ashing the patterning material. This sacrificial film protects the dielectric and optional organic adhesion promoter from modification/consumption during the subsequent ashing step during which the polymeric film is removed.

    摘要: Structures for aligning wafers and methods for operating the same. The structure includes (a) a first semiconductor wafer including a first capacitive coupling structure, and (b) a second semiconductor wafer including a second capacitive coupling structure. The first and second semiconductor wafers are in direct physical contact with each other via a common surface. If the first and second semiconductor wafers are moved with respect to each other by a first displacement distance of 1 nm in a first direction while the first and second semiconductor wafers are in direct physical contact with each other via the common surface, then a change of at least 10−18 F in capacitance of a first capacitor comprising the first and second capacitive coupling structures results. The first direction is essentially parallel to the common surface.
