摘要:
The present invention provides a method for etching a substrate, a method for forming an integrated circuit, an integrated circuit formed using the method, and an integrated circuit. The method for etching a substrate includes, among other steps, providing a substrate 140 having an aluminum oxide etch stop layer 130 located thereunder, and then etching an opening 150, 155, in the substrate 140 using an etchant comprising carbon oxide, a fluorocarbon, an etch rate modulator, and an inert carrier gas, wherein a flow rate of the carbon oxide is greater than about 80 sccm and the etchant is selective to the aluminum oxide etch stop layer 130. The aluminum oxide etch stop layer may also be used in the back-end of advanced CMOS processes as a via etch stop layer.
摘要:
Gas switching is used during an etch process to modulate the characteristics of the etch. The etch process comprises a sequence of at least three steps, wherein the sequence is repeated at least once. For example, the first step may result in a high etch rate of oxide (108) while the second step is a polymer coating steps and the third step results in a low etch rate of oxide and high etch rate of another material (114) and/or sputtering.
摘要:
A ferroelectric memory capacitor is formed by forming a barrier layer, a first metal layer, a ferroelectric layer, a second metal layer, and a hard mask layer, on dielectric layer (70). Using the patterned hard mask layer (255), the layers are etched to form an etched barrier layer (205), and etched first metal layer (215), and etched ferroelectric layer (225), and etched second metal layers (235, 245). The etched layers form a ferroelectric memory capacitor (270) with sidewalls that form an angle with the plane of the upper surface of the dielectric layer (70) between 78° and 88°. The processes used to etch the layers are plasma processes performed at temperatures between 200° C. and 500° C.
