    摘要: A method of etching a hafnium containing layer includes disposing a substrate having the hafnium containing layer in a plasma processing system, wherein a mask layer defining a pattern therein overlies the hafnium containing layer. A process gas including a HBr gas is introduced to the plasma processing system, and a plasma is formed from the process gas in the plasma processing system. The hafnium containing layer is exposed to the plasma in order to treat the hafnium containing layer. The hafnium containing layer is then wet etched using a dilute HF wet etch process.

    摘要: A method of patterning a multi-layer mask is described. The method includes preparing a multi-layer mask on a substrate, wherein the multi-layer mask includes a lithographic layer and an intermediate mask layer underlying the lithographic layer, and wherein the intermediate mask layer comprises a carbon-containing compound. The method further includes: establishing an etch process recipe for transferring a pattern, that is formed in the lithographic layer and characterized by an initial pattern critical dimension (CD), to the intermediate mask layer; establishing at least one parametric relationship between an intermediate pattern CD to be formed in the intermediate mask layer and at least one process parameter, wherein the at least one parametric relationship provides process conditions capable of increasing and decreasing the initial pattern CD to the intermediate pattern CD; selecting a target process condition to achieve a target CD adjustment between the initial pattern CD and the intermediate pattern CD; and transferring the pattern from the lithographic layer to the intermediate mask layer using the target process condition.

    摘要: A method for selectively etching a substrate is described. The method includes disposing a substrate comprising a silicon nitride (SiNy) layer overlying silicon in a plasma etching system, and transferring a pattern to the silicon nitride layer using a plasma etch process, wherein the plasma etch process utilizes a process composition having as incipient ingredients a process gas containing C, H and F, and an additive gas including CO2. The method further includes: selecting an amount of the additive gas in the plasma etch process to achieve: (1) a silicon recess formed in the silicon having a depth less than 10 nanometers (nm), and (2) a sidewall profile in the pattern having an angular deviation from 90 degrees less than 2 degrees.
