    摘要: A radio frequency (RF) glow discharge plasma etch electrode design is disclosed which is capable of creating high power density plasma with uniform etch rates, while providing access for automatic loading semiconductor wafers from outside of the plasma region. The electrode assembly comprises of an electrode to which RF energy is applied surrounded by an insulator, which in turn surrounded a grounded surface all of which have cylindrical symmetry. When placed a small distance from a flat, grounded substrate, the electrode assembly creates a volume which can effectively combine a high power density plasma, while maintaining a sufficient channel for pumping a gas flow and for observing the plasma optically. The same channel is widened for automatic transport of semiconductor wafers from outside of the plasma reactor chamber. Such confined high power density plasma are important for high rate, uniform, anisotropic etching, especially for silicon dioxide.

    摘要: A fluorine based metal etch chemistry, wherein an admixture of etch products (or species which are closely related to etch products) is added during the post etch stage, i.e. during the stage when the pattern has partially cleared by overetch is not yet completed, to maintain the balance of chemistries which provides selectivity and anisotropy. In a tungsten etch, WF.sub.6 is usefully added during the post etch period to provide this loading.

    摘要: A process module which is compatible with a system using vacuum wafer transport in which wafers are generally transported and processed in a face down position under vacuum, and which also includes an additional wafer movement, wherein, after a wafer has been emplaced face down, in a position where it can be clamped against the susceptor, the susceptor is rotated from its approximately horizontal position up to a more nearly vertical position. In the more nearly vertical position, the wafer can be processed by a top process module, which may be, e.g., a sputter system, an implanter, or an inspection module. Another process module is included in the bottom part of the chamber, so that the wafer can be processed by the lower process module while in its substantially horizontal position and processed by the upper process module when it is in its more nearly vertical position. This is especially advantageous when the lower process module is a plasma cleanup module and the top module is a deposition module.
