摘要:
A method and structure for the fabrication of semiconductor devices having feature sizes in the range of 90 nm and smaller is provided. In one embodiment of the invention, a method is provided for processing a substrate including depositing an anti-reflective coating layer on a surface of the substrate, depositing an adhesion promotion layer on the anti-reflective coating layer, and depositing a resist material on the adhesion promotion layer. In another embodiment of the invention, a semiconductor substrate structure is provided including a dielectric substrate, an amorphous carbon layer deposited on the dielectric layer, an anti-reflective coating layer deposited on the amorphous carbon layer, an adhesion promotion layer deposited on the anti-reflective coating layer, and a resist material deposited on the adhesion promotion layer.

The present invention comprises a method of reducing photoresist mask collapse when the photoresist mask is dried after immersion development. As feature sizes continue to shrink, the capillary force of water used to rinse a photoresist mask approaches the point of being greater than adhesion force of the photoresist to the ARC. When the capillary force exceeds the adhesion force, the features of the mask may collapse because the water pulls adjacent features together as the water dries. By depositing a hermetic oxide layer over the ARC before depositing the photoresist, the adhesion force may exceed the capillary force and the features of the photoresist mask may not collapse.

Embodiments described herein relate to a substrate processing system that integrates substrate edge processing capabilities. Illustrated examples of the processing system include, without limitations, a factory interface, a loadlock chamber, a transfer chamber, and one or more twin process chambers having two or more processing regions that are isolatable from each other and share a common gas supply and a common exhaust pump. The processing regions in each twin process chamber include separate gas distribution assemblies and RF power sources to provide plasma at selective regions on a substrate surface in each processing region. Each twin process chamber is thereby configured to allow multiple, isolated processes to be performed concurrently on at least two substrates in the processing regions.

An optical media such as an optical tape includes a substrate, a pre-format layer on one side of the substrate, and a back side coating. The back side coating is optically transparent and is electrically conductive. One of the substrate and the pre-format layer is between the back side coating and the other one of the substrate and the pre-format layer.

The present invention comprises an apparatus and method for etching at a substrate edge region. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises a chamber having a process volume, a substrate support arranged inside the process volume and having a substrate support surface, a plasma generator coupled to the chamber and configured to supply an etching agent in a plasma phase to a peripheral region of the substrate support surface, and a gas delivery assembly coupled to a gas source for generating a radial gas flow over the substrate support surface from an approximately central region of the substrate support surface toward the peripheral region of the substrate support surface.

A method for forming an optical tape for data storage from a substrate film includes a step of patterning a curable liquid composition onto a side of the substrate film. Characteristically, the curable liquid composition includes a free radical photoinitiator and a polymerizable component that includes at least one acrylate. The curable liquid composition is illuminated with actinic radiation to form a patterned imprint layer disposed over the substrate film. A multilayer data recording assembly is placed over the imprint layer. An optical tape made by the method is also provided.
