    摘要: Etching a layer over a substrate is provided. The substrate is placed in a plasma processing chamber. A first gas is provided to an inner zone within the plasma processing chamber. A second gas is provided to the outer zone within the plasma processing chamber, where the outer zone surrounds the inner zone and the first gas is different than the second gas. Plasmas are simultaneously generated from the first gas and second gas. The layer is etched, where the layer is etched by the plasmas from the first gas and second gas.

    摘要: A method of etching a substrate in a plasma processing system is disclosed. The substrate has a semi-conductor layer, a first barrier layer disposed above the semi-conductor layer, a low-k layer disposed above the first barrier layer, a third hard mask layer disposed above the low-k layer; a second hard mask layer disposed above the third hard mask layer, and a first hard mask layer disposed above the second hard mask layer. The method includes alternatively etching the substrate with a first etchant and a second etchant, wherein the first etchant has a low selectivity to a first hard mask material of the first hard mask layer, a third hard mask material of the a third hard mask layer, and a first barrier layer material of the first barrier layer, but a high selectivity to a second hard mask material of the second hard mask layer; and wherein the second etchant has a high selectivity to the first hard mask material of the first hard mask layer, the third hard mask material of the third hard mask layer, and the first barrier layer material of the first barrier layer, and the first etchant has a low selectivity to the second hard mask material of the second hard mask layer.

    摘要: A method for forming features in dielectric layers and opening barrier layers for a plurality of wafers and cleaning an etch chamber after processing and removing each wafer of the plurality of wafers is provided. A wafer of the plurality of wafers is placed into the etch chamber wherein the wafer has a barrier layer over the wafer and a dielectric layer over the barrier layer. The dielectric layer is etched. The barrier layer is opened. The wafer is removed from the etch chamber. A waferless automatic cleaning of the etch chamber without the wafer is provided. The waferless automatic cleaning comprises providing a waferless automatic cleaning gas comprising oxygen and nitrogen to the etch chamber and forming a waferless automatic cleaning plasma from the waferless automatic cleaning gas to clean the etch chamber.
