    摘要: A method for etching a thin film and fabricating a semiconductor device includes etching the thin film on a substrate, while monitoring the removal of an endpoint detection layer remotely located from the substrate, such that precise control of the thin film etching is provided by monitoring the removal of the endpoint detection layer. The endpoint detection layer is formed on a surface of an etching apparatus that is exposed to the same etching conditions as the thin film to be etched. The etching of the thin film is stopped when a predetermined amount of the endpoint detection layer has removed from the surface of the etching apparatus.

    摘要: A method (and semiconductor device) of forming a high shrinkage stressed silicon nitride layer for use as a contact etch stop layer (CESL) or capping layer in a stress management technique (SMT) provides increased tensile stress to a channel of an nFET device to enhance carrier mobility. A spin-on polysilazane-based dielectric material is applied to a semiconductor substrate and baked to form a film layer. The film layer is cured to remove hydrogen from the film which causes shrinkage in the film when it recrystallizes into silicon nitride. The resulting silicon nitride stressed layer introduces an increased level of tensile stress to the transistor channel region.

    摘要: A method of forming amorphous silicon spacers followed by the forming of metal nitride over the spacers in a copper damascene structure—single, dual, or multi-structure—is disclosed in order to prevent the formation of fluorides in copper. In a first embodiment, the interconnection between the copper damascene and an underlying copper metal layer is made by forming an opening from the dual damascene structure to the underlying copper layer after the formation of the metal nitride layer over the amorphous silicon spacers formed on the inside walls of the dual damascene structure. In the second embodiment, the interconnection between the dual damascene structure and the underlying copper line is made from the dual damascene structure by etching into the underlying copper layer after the forming of the amorphous silicon spacers and before the forming of the metal nitride layer. In the third embodiment, the ternary metal silicon nitride spacer is formed by etching after having first formed the amorphous silicon layer and the nitride layer, in that order, and then etching the passivation/barrier layer at the bottom of the damascene structure into the underlying copper layer. In all three embodiments, metal nitride reacts with amorphous silicon to form a ternary metal silicon nitride having an excellent property of adhering to copper while at the same time for forming an excellent barrier to diffusion of copper.

A carbon-doped silicon nitride passivation or etch stop layer having a low dielectric constraint is formed by reacting a substituted ammonia precursor and a substituted organosilane in a plasma-enhanced chemical deposition chamber. Alternatively, a silicon-carbide passivation or etch stop layer having a low dielectric constant is formed by reacting a substituted organosilane in a plasma-enhanced chemical deposition chamber. Also, an integrated process of forming passivation, dielectric, and etch stop layers for use in the dual damascene process is described.
