    摘要: We have reduced the critical dimension bias for reticle fabrication. Pattern transfer to the radiation-blocking layer of the reticle substrate essentially depends upon use of a hard mask to which the pattern is transferred from a photoresist. The photoresist pull back which occurs during pattern transfer to the hard mask is minimalized. In addition, a hard mask material having anti-reflective properties which are matched to the reflective characteristics of the radiation-blocking layer enables a reduction in critical dimension size and an improvement in the pattern feature integrity in the hard mask itself. An anti-reflective hard mask layer left on the radiation-blocking layer provides functionality when the reticle is used in a semiconductor device manufacturing process.

    摘要: A method is described for decreasing the critical dimensions of integrated circuit features in which a first masking layer (101) is deposited, patterned and opened in the manner of typical feature etching, and a second masking layer (201) is deposited thereon prior to etching the underlying insulator. The second masking layer is advantageously coated in a substantially conformal manner. Opening the second masking layer while leaving material of the second layer on the sidewalls of the first masking layer as spacers leads to reduction of the feature critical dimension in the underlying insulator. Ashable masking materials, including amorphous carbon and organic materials are removable without CMP, thereby reducing costs. Favorable results are also obtained utilizing more than one masking layer (101, 301) underlying the topmost masking layer (302) from which the spacers are formed. Embodiments are also described in which slope etching replaces the addition of a separate spacer layer. Substructures formed in the fabrication process are also described. Spacers are also shown to be favorably employed in making feature-in-feature structures.

    摘要: A plasma enhanced physical vapor deposition process deposits an amorphous carbon layer on an ion-implanted wafer for use in dynamic surface annealing of the wafer with an intense line beam of a laser wavelength. The deposition process is carried out at a wafer temperature below the dopant clustering threshold temperature, and includes introducing the wafer into a chamber having a carbon-containing target overlying the wafer, and furnishing a carrier gas into the chamber. The process further includes generating a wafer bias voltage and applying target source power to the carbon-containing target sufficient to produce ion bombardment of the carbon-containing target. The wafer bias voltage is set to a level at which the amorphous carbon layer that is deposited has a desired extinction coefficient at the laser wavelength.

    摘要: A method is provided for processing a substrate surface by delivering a first gas mixture comprising a first organosilicon compound, a first oxidizing gas, and one or more hydrocarbon compounds into a chamber at deposition conditions sufficient to deposit a first low dielectric constant film on the substrate surface. A second gas mixture having a second organosilicon compound and a second oxidizing gas is delivered into the chamber at deposition conditions sufficient to deposit a second low dielectric constant film on the first low dielectric constant film. The flow rate of the second oxidizing gas into the chamber is increased, and the flow rate of the second organosilicon compound into the chamber is decreased to deposit an oxide rich cap on the second low dielectric constant film.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention pertain to methods of forming patterned features on a substrate having a reduced pitch in two dimensions as compared to what is possible using standard photolithography processing techniques using a single high-resolution photomask. A spacer layer is formed over a two-dimensional square grid of cores with a thickness chosen to leave a dimple at the center of four cores on the corners of a square. The spacer layer is etched back to reveal the substrate at the centers of the square. Removing the core material results in double the pattern density of the lithographically defined grid of cores. The regions of exposed substrate may be filled again with core material and the process repeated to quadruple the pattern density.
