    摘要: An embodiment of the instant invention is a method of fabricating an electronic device formed on a semiconductor wafer, the method comprising the steps of: forming a layer of a first material (layer 622 of FIG. 6a) over the substrate; forming a photoresist layer (layer 626 of FIG. 6b) over the layer of the first material; patterning the layer of the first material; removing the photoresist layer after patterning the layer of the first material; and subjecting the semiconductor wafer to a plasma which incorporates a gas which includes hydrogen or deuterium so as to remove residue from the first material. Preferably, the step of removing the photoresist layer is performed by subjecting the semiconductor wafer to the plasma which incorporates a gas which substantially includes hydrogen or deuterium. The gas which includes hydrogen or deuterium is, preferably, comprised of a gas selected from the group consisting of: NH3, N2H2, H2S, CH4, and deuterated forms of these gases, and may, additionally, include a forming gas. The forming gas is, preferably, comprised of a gas consisting of: argon, nitrogen, and any other inert gas.

    摘要: A process is disclosed through which vias (50) can be formed by the reaction of an etchant species (52) with a mercury cadmium telluride (HgCdTe) or zinc sulfide (ZnS) layer (42). The activating gases (20) are preferably a hydrogen gas or a methane gas which is excited in a diode plasma reactor (100) which has an RF power source (13) applied to one of two parallel electrodes. The etching occurs in selected areas in a photoresist pattern (44) residing over the ZnS or HgCdTe layer (42). Wet etching the layer (42) with a wet etchant (54) following the dry etching, improves the via (50) by making the walls (48) smoother, and allowing for expansion of the vias (50) to a dimension necessary for proper operation of a HgCdTe-based infrared detector.
