A vacuum chamber contains a first electrode for supporting a wafer, and a second electrode opposing the first electrode. A supply system and an exhaustion system are connected to the vacuum chamber. The system supplies a reactive gas into the chamber, and the system exhaust the used gas from the chamber. A radio-frequency power supply is connected to the first electrode, for supplying power between the electrodes to generate an electric field E. An annular magnet assembly is provided around the chamber, for generating a magnetic field B which has a central plane intersecting with the electric field E. The magnet assembly has a plurality of magnet elements which have different magnetization axes in the central plane of the magnetic field. Electrons drift due to a force resulting from an outer product (E.times.B) of the electric field E and the magnetic field B. The central plane of the magnetic field B is shifted upwards from the target surface of the wafer, such that the magnetic force lines of the magnetic field intersect with the target surface of the substrate.

A magnetron discharge is generated by a high-frequency electric field and a magnetic field perpendicular to the electric field to generate a plasma of an etching gas, and an object to be processed having a silicon-containing layer represented by a polysilicon layer is exposed in the plasma to etch the silicon-containing layer. In this case, the etching gas mainly contains an HBr gas, a gas mixture of HBr and Cl.sub.2 gases, a gas mixture of HBr and HCl gases, or a gas obtained by adding an oxygen-containing gas such as an O.sub.2 gas to each of these gases.

A magnetron plasma etching apparatus comprises a suscepter serving as an electrode on which a silicon wafer is mounted. A carbon ring having an outer diameter larger than the diameter of the wafer and an electrical resistance lower than that of the wafer, is arranged around the suscepter. The carbon ring is electrically connected to the suscepter. The carbon ring improves uniformity of etching of the wafer.

According to this invention, a surface-treating apparatus capable of etching an object to be treated with high accuracy, suppressing discharging of a harmful gas deposited on the etched object in the air, and preventing the surface of the object from deposition/ attachment of reaction products and droplets is disclosed. The surface-treating apparatus includes a first process chamber for etching a loaded object to be treated by an activated etching gas, an exhausting member for setting the first process chamber at a low pressure, a cooling means for cooling the object loaded in the first process chamber, a second process chamber in which the object etched by the first process chamber is loaded, an exhausting member for setting the second process chamber at a low pressure, and an heating member for annealing the object loaded in the second process chamber.
摘要:
A dual damascene trench etching process includes a two-step BARC etching process, a first BARC etch step using a fluorocarbon-based plasma, and a second BARC etch step using an O2/N2-based plasma. The first BARC etch step removes a first portion of the BARC covering a dielectric stack using a fluorocarbon-based plasma. The second BARC etch step removes a second portion of the BARC covering the dielectric stack using a O2/N2 based plasma. The dual damascene trench etching process may further include a BARC etch back process to remove a further portion of the BARC not covering the dielectric stack. The dual damascene trench etching process further includes a low-k dielectric etching process that etches trenches in a low-k dielectric layer in the dielectric stack and that avoids the use of argon in order to prevent facet formation.

An oxide etching recipe including a heavy hydrogen-free fluorocarbon having F/C ratios less than 2, preferably C4F6, an oxygen-containing gas such as O2 or CO, a lighter fluorocarbon or hydrofluorocarbon, and a noble diluent gas such as Ar or Xe. The amounts of the first three gases are chosen such that the ratio (F—H)/(C—O) is at least 1.5 and no more than 2. Alternatively, the gas mixture may include the heavy fluorocarbon, carbon tetrafluoride, and the diluent with the ratio of the first two chosen such the ratio F/C is between 1.5 and 2.
摘要:
A method of etching silicon oxide with high selectivity to a photoresist mask and to a silicon-containing substrate comprising exposing the silicon oxide to a plasma of a precursor etch gas of a fluorocarbon and an organic silane containing at least one organic group. When at least about 10% by weight of the silane is present in the etch gas, the selectivity between the silicon oxide and the photoresist mask layer, and between the silicon oxide and the silicon-containing substrate, increases markedly. High aspect ratio, submicron size openings can be etched.
