    摘要: A method and apparatus for forming an amorphous carbon layer on a substrate is provided. A first portion of the amorphous carbon layer having a high stress level is formed from a hydrocarbon precursor having high dilution ratio, with optional amine precursor included to add stress-elevating nitrogen. A second portion of the amorphous carbon layer having a low stress level is formed on the first portion by reducing the dilution ratio of the hydrocarbon precursor and lowering or eliminating the amine gas. Pressure, temperature, and RF power input may be adjusted instead of, or in addition to, precursor flow rates, and different precursors may be used for different stress levels.

    摘要: The present invention comprises a method of reducing photoresist mask collapse when the photoresist mask is dried after immersion development. As feature sizes continue to shrink, the capillary force of water used to rinse a photoresist mask approaches the point of being greater than adhesion force of the photoresist to the ARC. When the capillary force exceeds the adhesion force, the features of the mask may collapse because the water pulls adjacent features together as the water dries. By depositing a hermetic oxide layer over the ARC before depositing the photoresist, the adhesion force may exceed the capillary force and the features of the photoresist mask may not collapse.

    摘要: Embodiments described herein relate to materials and processes for patterning and etching features in a semiconductor substrate. In one embodiment, a method of forming a composite amorphous carbon layer is provided. The method comprises positioning a substrate in a process chamber, introducing a hydrocarbon source gas into the process chamber, introducing a diluent source gas into the process chamber, introducing a plasma-initiating gas into the process chamber, generating a plasma in the process chamber, forming an amorphous carbon initiation layer on the substrate, wherein the hydrocarbon source gas has a volumetric flow rate to diluent source gas flow rate ratio of 1:12 or less, and forming a bulk amorphous carbon layer on the amorphous carbon initiation layer, wherein a hydrocarbon source gas used to form the bulk amorphous carbon layer has a volumetric flow rate to a diluent source gas flow rate of 1:6 or greater.
