摘要:
An etching process including plasma pretreatment for generating a polymer layer formed of carbon on a photoresist pattern. The photoresist pattern is treated with plasma that does not contain fluorine radicals and that provides carbon radicals. An etching process is performed on an etching target layer by using the photoresist pattern as an etch mask.

There are provided a method of forming a fine pattern of a semiconductor device using a silicon germanium sacrificial layer, and a method of forming a self-aligned contact using the same. The method of forming a self-aligned contact of a semiconductor device includes forming a conductive line structure having a conductive material layer, a hard mask layer, and a sidewall spacer on a substrate, and forming a silicon germanium (Si1-xGex) sacrificial layer, which has a height equal to or higher than a height of at least the conductive line structure, on an entire surface of the substrate. Then, a photoresist pattern for defining a contact hole is formed on the sacrificial layer, and the sacrificial layer is dry-etched, thereby forming a contact hole for exposing the substrate. A plurality of contacts for filling the contact hole are formed using polysilicon, and the remained sacrificial layer is wet-etched. Then, the region where the sacrificial layer is removed is filled with silicon oxide, thereby forming a first interlayer insulating layer.

Provided are a semiconductor device having a self-aligned contact plug and a method of fabricating the semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes conductive patterns, a first interlayer insulating layer, a first spacer, a second interlayer insulating layer, and a contact plug. In each conductive pattern, a conductive layer and a capping layer are sequentially deposited on an insulating layer over a semiconductor substrate. The first interlayer insulating layer fills spaces between the conductive patterns and has a height such that when the first interlayer insulating layer is placed on the insulating layer, the first interlayer insulating layer is lower than a top surface of the capping layer but higher than a top surface of the conductive layer. The first spacer surrounds the outer surface of the capping layer on the first interlayer insulating layer. The second interlayer insulating layer covers the first interlayer insulating layer, the capping layer, and the first spacer and has a planarized top surface. The contact plug passes through the second interlayer insulating layer, the first interlayer insulating layer, and the insulating layer between the conductive patterns, is electrically connected to the semiconductor substrate, has an outerwall surrounded by a second spacer, and is self-aligned with the capping layer.

摘要:
Disclosed herein is a method for etching a face of an object and more particularly a method for etching a rear face of a silicon substrate. The object having a silicon face is positioned so as to be spaced apart from a plasma-generating member by a predetermined interval distance. The plasma-generating member generates arc plasmas to form a plasma region. A reaction gas is allowed to pass through the plasma region to generate radicals having high energies and high densities. The radicals react with the object to etch the face of the object. The face of the object can be rapidly and uniformly etched.
