    摘要: The present invention is directed to a silicon carbide anti-reflective coating (ARC) and a silicon oxycarbide ARC. Another embodiment is directed to a silicon oxycarbide ARC that is treated with oxygen plasma. The invention includes method embodiments for forming silicon carbide layers and silicon oxycarbide layers as ARC's on a semiconductor substrate surface. Particularly, the methods include introducing methyl silane materials into a process chamber where they are ignited as plasma and deposited onto the substrate surface as silicon carbide. Another method includes introducing methyl silane precursor materials with an inert carrier gas into the process chamber with oxygen. These materials are ignited into a plasma, and silicon oxycarbide material is deposited onto the substrate. By regulating the oxygen flow rate, the optical properties of the silicon oxycarbide layer can be adjusted. In another embodiment, the silicon oxycarbide layer can be treated with oxygen plasma.

    摘要: A method of forming via structures between a first electrically conductive layer and a second electrically conductive layer. The first electrically conductive layer is formed, and a dielectric layer is formed over the first electrically conductive layer. A first photoresist layer is formed over the dielectric layer, and patterned with a first via hole pattern. The first via hole pattern includes via holes that are all disposed within a first distance one from another, called dense via holes, and excludes via holes that are disposed at greater than the first distance one from another, called isolated via holes. The dense via holes are etched into the dielectric layer at first etch conditions until the dense via holes are properly formed, and the first photoresist layer is removed. A second photoresist layer is formed over the dielectric layer, and is patterned with a second via hole pattern. The second via hole pattern excludes dense via holes and includes isolated via holes. The isolated via holes are etched into the dielectric layer at second etch conditions until the isolated via holes are properly formed, and the second photoresist layer is removed. Electrically conductive vias are formed within both the dense via holes and the isolated via holes, and the second electrically conductive layer is formed over the dielectric layer. Electrical continuity exists between the first electrically conductive layer and the second electrically conductive layer through the electrically conductive vias.

    摘要: A method of making a semiconductor device includes providing a first element formed of a first substantially electrically conductive material and having an upper surface. A second element adjacent to the first element is provided. The second element is formed of a first substantially non-electrically conductive material. An upper surface of the second element slopes downwardly toward the upper surface of the first element. A first layer of a second substantially non-electrically conductive material is disposed over the upper surface of the first element and the upper surface of the second element. The first layer has a thickness in the vertical direction that is greater in an area over the downward slope of the second element than in an area over the first element. An etching process is performed such that the layer is perforated above the upper surface of the first element and imperforated in the vertically thicker area above the downwardly sloping upper surface of the second element.

    摘要: The subject matter described herein involves an improved etch process for use in fabricating integrated circuits on semiconductor wafers. The selectivity of the etch process for silicon carbide versus silicon oxide, organo silica-glass or other low dielectric constant type material is enhanced by adding hydrogen (H2) or ammonia (NH3) or other hydrogen-containing gas to the etch chemistry.
