摘要:
A method for etching a high aspect ratio feature through a mask into a layer to be etched over a substrate is provided. The substrate is placed in a process chamber, which is able to provide RF power at a first frequency, a second frequency different than the first frequency, and a third frequency different than the first and second frequency. An etchant gas is provided to the process chamber. A first etch step is provided, where the first frequency, the second frequency, and the third frequency are at power settings for the first etch step. A second etch step is provided, where the first frequency, the second frequency, and the third frequency are at a different power setting.
摘要:
An apparatus is provided for semiconductor wafer plasma processing. The apparatus includes a chamber having a lower electrode and an upper electrode disposed therein. The lower electrode is defined to transmit a radiofrequency current through the chamber to generate a plasma within the chamber. The lower electrode is also defined to support a semiconductor wafer in exposure to the plasma. The upper electrode is disposed above and in a spaced apart relationship with the lower electrode. The upper electrode is defined by a doped semiconductor material. A doping concentration within the upper electrode varies radially from a center to a periphery of the upper electrode. The electric potential of the upper electrode influences an electric potential of the plasma within the chamber.

摘要:
An apparatus is provided for semiconductor wafer plasma processing. The apparatus includes a chamber having a lower electrode and an upper electrode disposed therein. The lower electrode is defined to transmit a radiofrequency current through the chamber to generate a plasma within the chamber. The upper electrode is disposed above the lower electrode and is electrically isolated from the chamber. A voltage source is connected to the upper electrode. The voltage source is defined to control an electric potential of the upper electrode relative to the chamber. The electric potential of the upper electrode as controlled by the voltage source is capable of influencing an electric potential of the plasma to be generated between the lower and upper electrodes.

A chamber includes a lower electrode and an upper electrode. The lower electrode is defined to transmit a radiofrequency current through the chamber and to support a semiconductor wafer in exposure to a plasma within the chamber. The upper electrode is disposed above and in a spaced apart relationship with the lower electrode. The upper electrode is electrically isolated from the chamber and is defined by a central section and one or more annular sections disposed concentrically outside the central section. Adjacent sections of the upper electrode are electrically separated from each other by a dielectric material. Multiple voltage sources are respectively connected to the upper electrode sections. Each voltage source is defined to control an electric potential of the upper electrode section to which it is connected, relative to the chamber. The electric potential of each upper electrode section influences an electric potential of the plasma within the chamber.
