    摘要: A method for removing organic material from an opening in a low k dielectric layer and above a metal layer on a substrate is disclosed. An ozone water solution comprised of one or more additives such as hydroxylamine or an ammonium salt is applied as a spray or by immersion. A chelating agent may be added to protect the metal layer from oxidation. A diketone may be added to the ozone water solution or applied in a gas or liquid phase in a subsequent step to remove any metal oxide that forms during the ozone treatment. A supercritical fluid mixture that includes CO2 and ozone can be used to remove organic residues that are not easily stripped by one of the aforementioned liquid solutions. The removal method prevents changes in the dielectric constant and refractive index of the low k dielectric layer and cleanly removes residues which improve device performance.

    摘要: A process for trimming a photoresist layer during the fabrication of a gate electrode in a MOSFET is described. A bilayer stack with a top photoresist layer on a thicker organic underlayer is patternwise exposed with 193 nm or 157 nm radiation to form a feature having a width w1 in the top layer. A pattern transfer through the underlayer is performed with an anisotropic etch based on H2/N2 and SO2 chemistry. The feature formed in the bilayer stack is trimmed by 10 nm or more to a width w2 by a HBr/O2/Cl2 plasma etch. The pattern transfer through an underlying gate layer is performed with a third etch based on HBr/O2/Cl2 chemistry. The underlayer is stripped by an O2 ashing with no damage to the gate electrode. Excellent profile control of the gate electrode is achieved and a larger (w1−w2) is possible than in prior art methods.

    摘要: A method for monitoring plasma parameters during a plasma process such as a plasma etching process, comparing the measured plasma parameters to predetermined parameter specifications, and either terminating the plasma process or modifying the plasma process in progress to re-establish the plasma parameters within the parameter specifications. The plasma parameters may be measured by the self-excited electron resonance spectroscopy (SEEKS) technique or by microwave interferometry.

    摘要: A method and system for determining the dielectric constant of a low-k dielectric film on a production substrate include measuring the electronic component of the dielectric constant using an ellipsometer, measuring the ionic component of the dielectric constant using an IR spectrometer, measuring the overall dielectric constant using a microwave spectrometer and deriving the dipolar component of the dielectric constant. The measurements and determination are non-contact and may be carried out on a production device that is further processed following the measurements.
