    摘要: A method for patterning an aluminum-containing layer. A tungsten-containing layer is provided over an aluminum-containing layer. The tungsten-containing layer is patterned to form an opening therein, so that the opening exposes an underlying portion of the aluminum-containing layer. The patterned tungsten-containing layer is exposed to an etch having a substantially higher etch rate of the aluminum-containing layer than of the tungsten-containing layer to remove the exposed portion of the aluminum-containing layer.

    摘要: A method for reducing polymer deposition on vertical surfaces of metal lines etched from a metallization layer disposed above a substrate. The method includes forming a hard mask layer above the metallization layer and providing a photoresist mask above the hard mask layer. The method further includes employing the photoresist mask to form a hard mask from the hard mask layer. The hard mask has patterns therein configured to form the metal lines in a subsequent plasma-enhanced metallization etch. There is also included removing the photoresist mask. Additionally, there is included performing the plasma-enhanced metallization etch employing the hard mask and an etchant source gas that includes Cl2 and at least one passivation-forming chemical, wherein the plasma-enhanced metallization etch is performed without employing photoresist to reduce the polymer deposition during the plasma-enhanced metallization etch.
