摘要:
A layer-by-layer etching apparatus and an etching method using a neutral beam which enables to control etching depth to an atomic level by controlling the etching of each atom of a material layer to be etched under precise control of the supply of an etching gas and irradiation of the neutral beam and enables to minimize etching damage. In the layer-by-layer etching method, a substrate to be etched, on which a layer to be etched is exposed, is loaded on a stage in a reaction chamber. An etching gas is supplied into the reaction chamber to adsorb the etching gas on the surface of an exposed portion of the layer to be etched. Excessive etching gas remaining after being adsorbed is removed. A neutral beam is irradiated on the layer to be etched on which the etching gas is adsorbed. Etch by-products generated by the irradiation of the neutral beam is removed.

摘要:
A damage-free apparatus for etching the large area by using a neutral beam which can perform an etching process without causing electrical and physical damages by the use of the neutral beam is provided. The damage-free etching apparatus includes: an ion source for extracting and accelerating an ion beam having a predetermined polarity; a grid positioned at the rear of the ion source and having a plurality of grid holes through which the ion beam passes; a reflector closely attached to the grid and having a plurality of reflector holes corresponding to the grid holes in the grid, the reflector for reflecting the ion beam passed through the grid holes in the reflector holes and neutralizing the ion beam into a neutral beam; and a stage for placing a substrate to be etched in a path of the neutral beam.
摘要:
A semiconductor device is manufactured by a method including processes of trimming and molding resist patterns. A resist layer formed on a substrate is exposed and developed to form the resist patterns. The resist patterns are trimmed using a first gas plasma to change the profiles of the resist patterns. Widths of the trimmed resist patterns are increased using a second gas plasma to form processed resist patterns.

Methods of manufacturing non-volatile memory devices that can reduce or prevent loss of charges stored in a charge storage layer and/or that can improve charge storage capacity by neutral beam irradiation of an insulating layer are disclosed. The methods include forming a tunneling insulating layer on a substrate, forming a charge storage layer on the tunneling insulating layer, forming a blocking insulating layer on the charge storage layer, irradiating the blocking insulating layer and/or the tunneling insulating layer with a neutral beam, and forming a gate conductive layer on the blocking insulating layer.
