    摘要: An etching method capable of obtaining a fine fabricated shape, particularly, a vertical fabricated shape with less bowing upon fabrication of insulation films in the production of semiconductors, the method comprising controlling the incident amount of O, F or N radicals, gas flow rate or consumption amount of O, F and N on the inner wall surface with etching time to suppress excessive O, F and N which become excessive in the initial stage of etching, the method also including control for the flow rate or the consumption amount based on the result of measurement for plasmas during etching so as to obtain a stable etching shape. Since bowing can be reduced upon fabrication of insulation film hole and insulation film while maintaining the etching rate and the selectivity, finer semiconductor device can be produced easily.

    摘要: A method of dry cleaning surfaces of a semiconductor wafer includes the steps of placing a processed wafer in a vacuum environment and positioning a pad near each of a front surface and a back surface of the wafer. Cleaning gas is injected into a small clearance formed between each pad and the front and rear surfaces to generate a high-speed gas flow along the surface of the wafer. Particles left at the surfaces of the processed wafer are physically cleaned and removed with the high-speed gas flow. In order to assist this physical cleaning action, it is also possible to apply either a chemical cleaning method or an electrical cleaning method under application of plasma.

    摘要: A dry etching apparatus and method which can uniformly and stably generate a high-density plasma over a wide range, and can cope with increase of wafer diameter and making the pattern finer in etch processing of the fine pattern of a semiconductor device. The apparatus and method enables a magnitude of a magnetic field to be cyclically modulated when a substrate to be treated is etch processed. The cyclical modulation may be effected by cyclically modulating a coil current flowing to a solenoid coil.

    摘要: The present invention is provided to prevent yield reduction of semiconductor device in dry cleaning of semiconductor device manufacturing process. The electric action and chemical action due to plasma of a first gas generated by means of a plasma generating means and the physical action due to viscous friction force of high speed gas flow generated by means of a planar pad that is brought close to the main surface of a wafer are applied together for cleaning the main surface of the wafer. After cleaning, the wafer is exposed to plasma of a second gas in the same vacuum chamber and then transferred to the atmosphere.

    摘要: A condition without using Ar as plasma gas is applied to processing of an organic anti-reflection-coating, which suppresses a spatter effect and decreases the cleavage of C—H and OC—O bonds in a resist. As a result, roughness of the resist after processing the anti-reflection-coating can be suppressed, and pitting and striations after processing a next film to be processed, that is an insulating film, can be prevented. For a rare gas to be used at the time of processing the insulating film, any one of Xe, Kr, a mixed gas of Ar and Xe, and a mixed gas of Ar and Kr is applied in place of Ar, giving rise to reduction in pitting and striations after etching. In addition, a dry etching method with less critical-dimension shift and excellence in both apparatus cost and throughput can be provided by performing resist modification and etching by turns.
