    摘要: A method of plasma immersion ion implantation of a workpiece having a photoresist mask on its top surface prevents photoresist failure from carbonization of the photoresist. The method includes performing successive ion implantation sub-steps, each of the ion implantation sub-steps having a time duration over which only a fractional top portion of the photoresist layer is damaged by ion implantation. After each one of the successive ion implantation sub-steps, the fractional top portion of the photoresist is removed while leaving the remaining portion of the photoresist layer in place by performing an ashing sub-step. The number of the successive ion implantation sub-steps is sufficient to reach a predetermined ion implantation dose in the workpiece.

    摘要: Methods for quantitatively measuring the performance of a plasma immersion process are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method of quantitatively measuring the performance of a plasma immersion process, using a first substrate comprising an oxide layer deposited atop a silicon layer, may include subjecting the first substrate to a plasma immersion process in a first plasma immersion chamber to form a doped oxide layer atop the first substrate; and determining a thickness of the doped oxide layer by shining a beam of light upon a reflective surface of the doped oxide layer; detecting reflected beams of light off of the reflective surface of the doped oxide layer; and analyzing the reflected beams of light to determine the thickness of the doped oxide layer on the first substrate.
