摘要: Methods for making thin-films on semiconductor substrates, which may be patterned using EUV, include: mixing a vapor stream of an organometallic precursor with a vapor stream of a counter-reactant so as to form a polymerized organometallic material; and depositing the organometallic polymer-like material onto the surface of the semiconductor substrate. The mixing and depositing operations may be performed by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), atomic layer deposition (ALD), and ALD with a CVD component, such as a discontinuous, ALD-like process in which metal precursors and counter-reactants are separated in either time or space.

摘要: The present disclosure relates to a film formed with a metal precursor and an organic precursor, as well as methods for forming and employing such films. The film can be employed as a photopatternable film or a radiation-sensitive film. In particular embodiments, the film includes alternating layers of metal-containing layers and organic layers. In other embodiments, the film includes a matrix of deposited metal and organic constituents.

摘要: Various embodiments herein relate to methods, apparatus, and systems for baking metal-containing on a semiconductor substrate in the presence of a reactive gas species. For example, the method may include receiving the substrate in a process chamber, the substrate having a photoresist layer thereon, where the photoresist layer includes a metal-containing photoresist material; flowing a reactive gas species from a gas source, through a gas delivery line, into the process chamber, and exposing the substrate to the reactive gas species in the process chamber; and baking the photoresist layer while the substrate is exposed to the reactive gas species.

摘要: Systems and techniques for dry deposition of extreme ultra-violet-sensitive (EUV-sensitive) photoresist layers are discussed. In some such systems, a processing chamber may be provided that features a multi-plenum showerhead that is configured to receive a vaporized organometallic precursor in one plenum and a vaporized counter-reactant thereof in another plenum. The two vaporized reactants may be delivered to a reaction space within the processing chamber and over a wafer support that supports the substrate.

摘要: The present disclosure relates to post-application treatment of a radiation-sensitive film to provide a hardened resist film. In some instances, such films can be used to form a pattern by a positive tone wet development process.

摘要: Disclosed herein are methods and apparatuses for exposing an organic metal-oxide film to a blanket UV treatment prior to a lithographic patterning operation. A blanket UV treatment may be used to shift a solubility curve of the film, such that a lower EUV dose may be used to pattern the film. Additionally, a blanket UV treatment may be used after development to further cure the film.

摘要: A metal-containing photoresist film may be deposited on a semiconductor substrate using a dry deposition technique. Unintended metal-containing photoresist material may form on internal surfaces of a process chamber during deposition, bevel and backside cleaning, baking, development, or etch operations. An in situ dry chamber clean may be performed to remove the unintended metal-containing photoresist material by exposure to an etch gas. The dry chamber clean may be performed at elevated temperatures without striking a plasma. In some embodiments, the dry chamber clean may include pumping/purging and conditioning operations.

摘要: Various embodiments herein relate to techniques for depositing photoresist material on a substrate. For example, the tin techniques may involve providing the substrate in a reaction chamber; providing a first and second reactant to the reaction chamber, where the first reactant is an organo-metallic precursor having a formula of M1aR1bL1c, where: M1 is a metal having a high patterning radiation-absorption cross-section, R1 is an organic group that survives the reaction between the first reactant and the second reactant and is cleavable from M1 under exposure to patterning radiation, L1 is a ligand, ion, or other moiety that reacts with the second reactant, a≥1, b≥1, and c≥1, and where at least one of the following conditions is satisfied: the photoresist material comprises two or more high-patterning radiation absorbing elements, and/or the photoresist material comprises a composition gradient along a thickness of the photoresist material.

摘要: Methods of fabricating magnetic devices are described herein. Methods involve exposing a magnetic film, such as a CoFeB film, to a reducing agent before, during, or after depositing a metal oxide film using atomic layer deposition or chemical vapor deposition. Some methods include exposing the magnetic film in cycles involving exposure to a reducing agent, exposure to a magnesium-containing precursor, and exposure to an oxidant. Methods are suitable for depositing a magnesium oxide layer on a CoFeB layer to form part of a magnetic tunnel junction.
