    摘要: A method and apparatus for plasma etching a workpiece, such as a semiconductor wafer, including a thin film stack having a top film disposed over a bottom film with an intervening middle film there between. Etch selectivity between the top and bottom films may be as low as between 1:1 and 2:1 and a first carbon-lean gas chemistry is used to etch through the top film, a second carbon-lean gas chemistry is used to etch through the middle film, and the bottom film is etched through by alternating between depositing a polymer passivation on the top film using a carbon-rich gas chemistry and an etching of the bottom film with a third carbon-lean gas chemistry, which may be the same as the first carbon-lean gas chemistry.

    摘要: Methods for fabricating one or more shallow trench isolation (STI) structures are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for fabricating one or more shallow trench isolation (STI) structures may include providing a substrate having a patterned mask layer disposed thereon to define one or more STI structures. The substrate may be etched using a plasma formed from a process gas mixture to form one or more STI structures on the substrate, wherein the process gas mixture comprises a fluorine-containing gas and either a fluorocarbon-containing gas or a hydrofluorocarbon-containing gas.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for reducing, or eliminating, the notching observed in the creation of SOI structures on a substrate when plasma etching through an alternating deposition/etch process by modulating the RF bias that is applied to the cathode. Modulation of the bias voltage to the cathode is accomplished either discretely, between at least two frequencies, or continuously during the alternating deposition/etch process.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method for improving the critical dimension performance during a plasma etching process of a photolithographic substrate having a thin film. A passivation film is deposited onto the photolithographic substrate using a first set of process conditions. The deposited film is etched from the photolithographic substrate using a second set of process conditions. An exposed surface of the photolithographic substrate is etched using a third set of process conditions. During the plasma processing of the photolithographic substrate, the critical dimension performance of the photolithographic substrate is monitored to insure that the target uniformity and feature widths are obtained by adjusting the deposition and etch plasma processing of the photolithographic substrate.
