    摘要: A multilayer antireflective hard mask structure is disclosed. The structure comprises: (a) a CVD organic layer, wherein the CVD organic layer comprises carbon and hydrogen; and (b) a dielectric layer over the CVD organic layer. The dielectric layer is preferably a silicon oxynitride layer, while the CVD organic layer preferably comprises 70-80% carbon, 10-20% hydrogen and 5-15% nitrogen. Also disclosed are methods of forming and trimming such a multilayer antireflective hard mask structure. Further disclosed are methods of etching a substrate structure using a mask structure that contains a CVD organic layer and optionally has a dielectric layer over the CVD organic layer.

    摘要: A method is described for decreasing the critical dimensions of integrated circuit features in which a first masking layer (101) is deposited, patterned and opened in the manner of typical feature etching, and a second masking layer (201) is deposited thereon prior to etching the underlying insulator. The second masking layer is advantageously coated in a substantially conformal manner. Opening the second masking layer while leaving material of the second layer on the sidewalls of the first masking layer as spacers leads to reduction of the feature critical dimension in the underlying insulator. Ashable masking materials, including amorphous carbon and organic materials are removable without CMP, thereby reducing costs. Favorable results are also obtained utilizing more than one masking layer (101, 301) underlying the topmost masking layer (302) from which the spacers are formed. Embodiments are also described in which slope etching replaces the addition of a separate spacer layer. Substructures formed in the fabrication process are also described. Spacers are also shown to be favorably employed in making feature-in-feature structures.
