摘要： The present invention provides methods of processing a substrate with minimal scalloping. By processing substrates with minimal scalloping, feature tolerance and quality may be improved. An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for etching a feature in a layer through an etching mask by alternating steps of polymer deposition and substrate etching in any order. In order to achieve the benefits described herein, process gas pressures between process steps may be substantially equivalent. In some embodiments a continuous plasma stream may be maintained throughout substrate processing. In still other embodiments, process gases may be controlled by a single mass flow control valve so that process gases may be switched to within less than 250 milliseconds.

摘要： A method of plasma etching of silicon that utilizes the plasma to provide laterally defined recess structures through a mask. The method is based on the variation of the plasma parameters to provide a well-controlled anisotropic etch, while achieving a very high etch rate, and a high selectivity with respect to a mask. A mixed gas is introduced into the vacuum chamber after the chamber is evacuated, and plasma is generated within the chamber. The substrate's surface is exposed to the plasma. Power sources are used for formation of the plasma discharge. An integrated control system is used to modulate the plasma discharge power and substrate polarization voltage levels.
