    摘要: Methods of etching substrates employing a trim process for critical dimension control for integrated circuits are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method of etching includes providing a first hard mask layer over a target layer; providing a second hard mask layer over the first hard mask layer; providing a photoresist layer over the second hard mask layer; forming a pattern in the photoresist layer; transferring the pattern into the second hard mask layer; and trimming the second hard mask layer with the photoresist layer on top of the second hard mask layer. The top surface of the second hard mask layer is protected by the photoresist and the substrate is protected by the overlying first hard mask layer during the trim etch, which can therefore be aggressive.

    摘要: The invention includes methods of etching substrates, methods of forming features on substrates, and methods of depositing a layer comprising silicon, carbon and fluorine onto a semiconductor substrate. In one implementation, a method of etching includes forming a masking feature projecting from a substrate. The feature has a top, opposing sidewalls, and a base. A layer comprising SixCyFz is deposited over the feature, where “x” is from 0 to 0.2, “y” is from 0.3 to 0.9, and “z” is from 0.1 to 0.6. The SixCyFz—comprising layer and upper portions of the feature opposing sidewalls are etched effective to laterally recess such upper portions proximate the feature top relative to lower portions of the feature opposing sidewalls proximate the feature base. After such etching of the SixCyFz—comprising layer and such etching of upper portions of the feature sidewalls, the substrate is etched using the masking feature as a mask.

    摘要: A method for forming a template useful for nanoimprint lithography comprises forming at least one pillar which provides a topographic feature extending from a template base. At least one conformal pattern layer and one conformal spacing layer, and generally a plurality of alternating pattern layers and spacing layers, are formed over the template base and pillar. A planarized filler layer is formed over the pattern and spacing layers, then the filler, the spacing layer and the pattern layer are partially removed, for example using mechanical polishing, to expose the pillar. One or more etches are performed to remove at least a portion of the pillar, the filler, and the spacing layer to result in the pattern layer protruding from the spacing layer and providing the template pattern.
