    摘要: Embodiments of the invention generally relate to methods for fabricating devices on semiconductor substrates. More specifically, embodiments of the invention relate to methods of patterning magnetic materials. Certain embodiments described herein use a reducing chemistry containing a hydrogen gas or hydrogen containing gas with an optional dilution gas at temperatures ranging from 20 to 300 degrees Celsius at a substrate bias less than 1,000 DC voltage to reduce the amount of sputtering and redeposition. Exemplary hydrogen containing gases which may be used with the embodiments described herein include NH3, H2, CH4, C2H4, SiH4, and H2S. It has been found that patterning a magnetic tunnel junction with an oxidizer-free gas mixture comprising hydrogen maintains the integrity of the magnetic tunnel junction without producing harmful conductive residue.

    摘要: Methods for processing substrates in twin chamber processing systems having first and second process chambers and shared processing resources are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method may include flowing a process gas from a shared gas panel to a processing volume of the first process chamber and to a processing volume of the second process chamber; forming a first plasma in the first processing volume to process the first substrate and a second plasma to process the second substrate; monitoring the first processing volume and the second processing volume to determine if a process endpoint is reached in either volume; and either terminating the first and second plasma simultaneously when a first endpoint is reached; or terminating the first plasma when a first endpoint is reached in the first processing volume while continuing to provide the second plasma in the second processing volume until a second endpoint is reached.

    摘要: A method of making a semiconductor structure includes etching an anti-reflective coating layer at a pressure of 10 millitorr or less; etching a nitride layer with a first nitride etch plasma having a first F:C ratio; and etching the nitride layer with a second nitride etch plasma having a second F:C ratio. The first F:C ratio is greater than the second F:C ratio.
