Embodiments of the invention relate to a substrate etching system and process. In one embodiment, a method may include depositing material on the substrate during a deposition process, etching a first layer of the substrate during a first etch process, and etching a second layer of the substrate during a second etch process, wherein a first bias power is applied to the substrate during the first process, and wherein a second bias power is applied to the substrate during the second etch process. In another embodiment, a system may include a gas delivery system containing a first gas panel for supplying a first gas to a chamber, a second gas panel for supplying a second gas to the chamber, and a plurality of flow controllers for directing the gases to the chamber to facilitate rapid gas transitioning between the gases to and from the chamber and the panels.

Methods of filling deep trenches in substrates are described. A method includes providing a substrate with a deep trench formed therein. The method also includes forming a dielectric layer conformal with the substrate and the deep trench. The method also includes, with the entire portion of the dielectric layer conformal with the deep trench exposed, removing at least a portion, but not all, of the dielectric layer at the top of the deep trench with a relatively low bias plasma etch process.

Methods of forming deep trenches in substrates are described. A method includes providing a substrate with a patterned film disposed thereon, the patterned film including a trench having a first width and a pair of sidewalls, the trench exposing the top surface of the substrate. The method also includes forming a material layer over the patterned film and conformal with the trench. The method also includes etching the material layer to form sidewall spacers along the pair of sidewalls of the trench, the sidewall spacers reducing the first width of the trench to a second width. The method also includes etching the substrate to form a deep trench in the substrate, the deep trench undercutting at least a portion of the sidewall spacers.

摘要:
A method for operating a plasma reactor to etch high-aspect-ratio features on a workpiece in a vacuum chamber. The method comprises the performance of an etch process followed by a flash process. During the etch process, a first gas is supplied into the vacuum chamber, and a plasma of the first gas is maintained for a first period of time. The plasma of the first gas comprises etchant and passivant species. During the flash process, a second gas comprising a deposit removal gas is supplied into the vacuum chamber, and a plasma of the second gas is maintained for a second period of time. The DC voltage between the workpiece and the plasma of the second gas during the second period of time is significantly less than the DC voltage between the workpiece and the plasma of the first gas during the first period of time.
摘要:
A process for etching a pattern-masked conductor substrate anisotropically so as to obtain very high etch rates comprising adding a polymer-forming fluorocarbon gas and an etch gas at high flow rates to an etch chamber at etching pressures of 77 millitorr to 100 Torr using a high source power and bias power to the substrate support electrode to form a high density plasma. The gases can be added together, sequentially or alternately.
