    摘要: Chemical modification of non-volatile magnetic random access memory (MRAM) magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) for film stack etching is described. In an example, a method of etching a MTJ film stack includes modifying one or more layers of the MTJ film stack with a phosphorous trifluoride (PF3) source to provide modified regions of the MTJ film stack. The modified regions of the MTJ film stack are removed by a plasma etch process.

    摘要: Methods of removing photoresists from low-k dielectric films are described. For example, a method includes forming and patterning a photoresist layer above a low-k dielectric layer, the low-k dielectric layer disposed above a substrate. Trenches are formed in the exposed portions of the low-k dielectric layer. A plurality of process cycles is performed to remove the photoresist layer. Each process cycle includes forming a silicon source layer on surfaces of the trenches of the low-k dielectric layer, and exposing the photoresist layer to an oxygen source to form an Si—O-containing layer on the surfaces of the trenches of the low-k dielectric layer and to remove at least a portion of the photoresist layer.

    摘要: Methods of multiple patterning of low-k dielectric films are described. For example, a method includes forming and patterning a first mask layer above a low-k dielectric layer, the low-k dielectric layer disposed above a substrate. A second mask layer is formed and patterned above the first mask layer. A pattern of the second mask layer is transferred at least partially into the low-k dielectric layer by modifying first exposed portions of the low-k dielectric layer with a first plasma process and removing the modified portions of the low-k dielectric layer. Subsequently, a pattern of the first mask layer is transferred at least partially into the low-k dielectric layer by modifying second exposed portions of the low-k dielectric layer with a second plasma process and removing the modified portions of the low-k dielectric layer.

    摘要: A method of depositing a silicon and nitrogen containing film on a substrate. The method includes introducing silicon-containing precursor to a deposition chamber that contains the substrate, wherein the silicon-containing precursor comprises at least two silicon atoms. The method further includes generating at least one radical nitrogen precursor with a remote plasma system located outside the deposition chamber. Moreover, the method includes introducing the radical nitrogen precursor to the deposition chamber, wherein the radical nitrogen and silicon-containing precursors react and deposit the silicon and nitrogen containing film on the substrate. Furthermore, the method includes annealing the silicon and nitrogen containing film in a steam environment to form a silicon oxide film, wherein the steam environment includes water and acidic vapor.
