    摘要: A surface wave coupled plasma etching apparatus according to the present invention can produce a plasma within a confined area above an etching object by a microwave confinement plate, so as to prevent an upper portion of the apparatus from being sputtered by the plasma. The microwave confinement plate is interposed between a pair of glass plates, so that the microwave confinement plate is not exposed to and sputtered by the plasma during an etching process. The lower glass plate which protects the microwave confinement plate from the plasma is formed so as not to change a temperature of itself rapidly when the etching stops, and thereby an undesirable polymer adhesion to the lower glass plate is avoided.

    摘要: A method for optimizing a seasoning recipe for a dry etch process. The method includes setting a critical value of reproducibility, a main etch recipe, and a preliminary seasoning recipe. A test wafer is then etched using the preliminary seasoning recipe in a dry etch chamber. Next, a main etch process is performed with respect to at least 10 run wafers in the dry etch chamber using the main etch recipe and an end-point detection time for each wafer is determined. An initial dispersion and a standard deviation are then determined using the determined end-point detection times. The critical value of reproducibility is then compared to the initial dispersion. If the initial dispersion is equal to or less than the critical value of reproducibility, the preliminary seasoning recipe is used as the seasoning recipe, otherwise the preliminary seasoning recipe is modified and the process is repeated until an optimal seasoning recipe is determined.

    摘要: There are provided a method of forming a fine pattern of a semiconductor device using a silicon germanium sacrificial layer, and a method of forming a self-aligned contact using the same. The method of forming a self-aligned contact of a semiconductor device includes forming a conductive line structure having a conductive material layer, a hard mask layer, and a sidewall spacer on a substrate, and forming a silicon germanium (Si1-xGex) sacrificial layer, which has a height equal to or higher than a height of at least the conductive line structure, on an entire surface of the substrate. Then, a photoresist pattern for defining a contact hole is formed on the sacrificial layer, and the sacrificial layer is dry-etched, thereby forming a contact hole for exposing the substrate. A plurality of contacts for filling the contact hole are formed using polysilicon, and the remained sacrificial layer is wet-etched. Then, the region where the sacrificial layer is removed is filled with silicon oxide, thereby forming a first interlayer insulating layer.

    摘要: A method of etching a material film formed on a semiconductor wafer loaded onto a reaction chamber of a surface wave coupled plasma etching apparatus having an insulation plate which is capable of generating surface waves by microwaves, and a glass plate placed below the insulation plate, for transmitting the produced surface waves. In the method, the glass plate is rapidly pre-heated by generating an argon (Ar) or xenon (Xe) surface wave coupled plasma which has a high ion density and a large mass, and the material layer is then etched. Therefore, the preheating time of the glass plate can be sharply reduced to less than five minutes. Also, because the etching gas is not used for the heating of the glass, damage to the glass plate can be reduced and generation of polymer on the glass plate is suppressed with an improved etching efficiency, so that failure in etching can also be avoided.
