    Abstract: The disclosed technology generally relates to semiconductor fabrication, and more particularly to plasma etching of dielectric materials having pores. In one aspect, a method for etching a porous material in an environment includes contacting the porous material with an organic gas at a pressure and a temperature. The organic gas is such that at the pressure and the temperature, the organic gas remains in a gas state when outside of the porous material, while the organic gas condenses into an organic liquid upon contacting the porous material. Upon contacting the porous material, the organic gas thereby fills the pores of the porous material with the organic liquid. Subsequent to contacting the porous material, the method additionally includes plasma etch-treating of the porous material having filled pores, thereby evaporating a fraction of the organic liquid filling the pores of the porous material.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is related to a method for treating a photoresist structure on a substrate, the method comprising producing one or more resist structures on a substrate, introducing the substrate in a plasma reactor, and subjecting the substrate to a plasma treatment at a temperature lower than zero degrees Celsius, such as between zero and −110° C. The plasma treatment may be a H2 plasma treatment performed in an inductively coupled plasma reactor. The treatment time may be at least 30s.

    Abstract: A method is provided for in-situ monitoring of etch uniformity during plasma etching, on the basis of the detection of interferometry patterns. The method is applicable to a reactor wherein a plasma is created in the area between the surface to be etched and a counter-surface arranged essentially parallel to the surface to be etched. The occurrence of interference patterns is detected at a location that is placed laterally with respect to the area between the surface to be etched and the counter-surface. The presence of an interference pattern at a particular wavelength is observed through the detection of oscillations of the light intensity measured by an optical detector, preferably by the standard Optical Emission Spectrometry tool of the reactor. When these oscillations are no longer detectable, non-uniformity exceeds a pre-defined limit. The counter surface is arranged such that the oscillations are detected.

    Abstract: In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to a method. The method includes providing a substrate having a patterned layer thereon, the patterned layer including an opening that exposes the substrate. The method also includes selectively infiltrating the patterned layer with a metal or ceramic material, thereby reducing a dimension of the opening. The opening exposes the substrate after the dimension of the opening is reduced.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device manufacturing method of forming a trench and a via in a porous low dielectric constant film formed on a substrate as an interlayer insulating film, includes: embedding a polymer having a urea bond in pores of the porous low dielectric constant film by supplying a raw material for polymerization to the porous low dielectric constant film; forming the via by etching the porous low dielectric constant film; subsequently, embedding a protective filling material made of an organic substance in the via; subsequently, forming the trench by etching the porous low dielectric constant film; subsequently, removing the protective filling material; and after the forming a trench, removing the polymer from the pores of the porous low dielectric constant film by heating the substrate to depolymerize the polymer, wherein the embedding a polymer having a urea bond in pores is performed before the forming a trench.
