    摘要: Front end of line (FEOL) plasma mediated ashing processes for removing organic material from a substrate generally includes exposing the substrate to the plasma to selectively remove photoresist, implanted photoresist, polymers and/or residues from the substrate, wherein the plasma contains a ratio of active nitrogen and active oxygen that is larger than a ratio of active nitrogen and active oxygen obtainable from plasmas of gas mixtures comprising oxygen gas and nitrogen gas. The plasma exhibits high throughput while minimizing and/or preventing substrate oxidation and dopant bleaching. Plasma apparatuses are also described.

    摘要: Low dielectric constant film materials with improved elastic modulus. The method of making such film materials involves providing a porous methyl silsesquioxane based dielectric film material produced from a resin molecule containing at least 2 Si—CH3 groups and plasma curing the porous film material to convert the film into porous silica. Plasma curing of the porous film material yields a film with improved modulus and outgassing properties. The improvement in elastic modulus is typically greater than or about 100%, and more typically greater than or about 200%. The plasma cured porous film material can optionally be annealed. The annealing of the plasma cured film may reduce the dielectric constant of the film while maintaining an improved elastic modulus as compared to the plasma cured porous film material. The annealed, plasma cured film has a dielectric constant between about 1.1 and about 2.4 and an improved elastic modulus.

    摘要: A plasma ashing process for removing photoresist, polymers and/or residues from a substrate comprises placing the substrate including the photoresist, polymers, and/or residues into a reaction chamber; generating a plasma from a gas mixture comprising oxygen gas (O2) and/or an oxygen containing gas; suppressing and/or reducing fast diffusing species in the plasma; and exposing the substrate to the plasma to selectively remove the photoresist, polymers, and/or residues from the substrate, wherein the plasma is substantially free from fast diffusing species.

    摘要: Low dielectric constant porous materials with improved elastic modulus and material hardness. The process of making such porous materials involves providing a porous dielectric material and plasma curing the porous dielectric material with a fluorine-free plasma gas to produce a fluorine-free plasma cured porous dielectric material. Fluorine-free plasma curing of the porous dielectric material yields a material with improved modulus and material hardness, and with comparable dielectric constant. The improvement in elastic modulus is typically greater than or about 50%, and more typically greater than or about 100%. The improvement in material hardness is typically greater than or about 50%.
