    摘要: An improved method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming an insulating layer on a substrate, depositing a metal film layer on the insulating layer and depositing a photoresist layer on the metal film layer. The photoresist layer is formed with openings through which a predetermined surface of the metal film layer is exposed. The predetermined surface of the metal film layer is subjected to dry etching so that an underlying portion of the insulating layer is exposed. The remaining portion of the photoresist layer is then subjected to ashing by using an isopropyl alcohol-containing gas to expose the surface of said metal film layer.

    摘要: Proposed is a method for improving resist selectivity in dry etching of an aluminum-based material layer. A mixed gas containing a chlorine-based gas and hydrogen iodide (HI) is used as an etching gas. The chlorine-based gas furnishes Cl* as a main etchant for the Al-based material layer, while HI furnishes H*. For anisotropic etching of the Al-based material layer, decomposition products of a resist mask are used as a sidewall protection film. It has been known that deposition of the sidewall protection film is promoted when hydrogen atoms are contained in the sidewall protection film. HI is used in the present invention as a supply source for H* because the interatomic bond energy of its H--I bond is low as compared to that of H.sub.2, HCl or HBr so that HI is superior to the H* yielding efficiency under discharge dissociation conditions. In this manner, the bias power necessary for anisotropic etching may be reduced to inhibit sputtering out of the resist mask. Among practically useful etching gases are BCl.sub.3 /Cl.sub.2 /HI and Cl.sub.2 /HI.

    摘要: Disclosed is a dry etching method by which a polycide film consisting of a refractory metal silicide layer and a polysilicon layer are stacked one upon the other may be etched with high anisotropy, low pollution, high selectivity and high speed without using flon gases.According to the method of the present invention, an etching gas containing a fluorine base gas mixed at least with HBr is used for etching the polycide film for realizing anisotropic processing under sidewall protection by a reaction product of mainly the resist material and Br.Overetching for uniform processing in the wafer plane is performed with the use approximately solely of the fluorine base gas or HBr for realizing a high speed and improving substrate selectivity.The overetching step is preceded by oxygen plasma treatment for oxidizing the reaction product and intensifying side wall protective effects while improving anisotropy.Finally, the changes in the emission spectrum intensity during the etching are monitored for determining the end point of etching of the refractory metal silicide layer to enable more accurate setting of the etching conditions.

    摘要: A dry etching method for performing anisotropic etching of a layer of a silicon based material without using a chlorofluorocarbon gas, is proposed. Sulfur halides yielding free sulfur (S) into a plasma under conditions of dissociation by electrical discharge, such as S.sub.2 F.sub.2 or S.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, are used as main components of the etching gas. This S is used for sidewall protection and for improving selectivity during etching, and is removed by sublimation by heating the wafer after etching. Although etching may be achieved by S.sub.2 F.sub.2 alone, suitable measures may preferably be used to increase the S/X ratio of an etching reaction system, which is a ratio of the number of atoms of S to that of X or a halogen, because the layer of the silicon based material is highly susceptible to halogen radicals. Specifically, optimum results may be obtained by (a) adding H.sub.2, H.sub.2 S or SiH.sub.4 to the etching gas, (b) introducing hydrogen in advance into an area for etching by ion implantation, (c) using a silicon-containing resist mask, or (d) by coating the surface of a wafer cover with an amorphous silicon layer.

    摘要: A method of forming interconnectors involves the passivation (surface protective) of aluminum interconnector patterns and connection hole surfaces without objectionable particle level problems. Under electrical discharge disassociation conditions, sulphur (S) is liberated and permits the formation of an anti-corrosive polythiazyl in a plasma generated by using gaseous sulphur and nitrogen containing compounds. For example, in order to prevent the exposure of an aluminum interconnector material layer to atmospheric air after it has been resist masked and etched, plasma CVD is used with a gas containing a mixture of S.sub.2 F.sub.2 /H.sub.2 /N.sub.2, to form a protective film on the surfaces of the pattern. In this coated condition, after corrosion is prevented until such time as the next fabrication step which forms an interlayer insulation membrane is carried out. The protective film can be removed by heating the wafer to about 150.degree. C. at which time the protective film readily sublimes or decomposes. Other application come in that, after a natural oxide film is removed from a contact hole surface, until an upper interconnector is formed, the above mentioned protective film is temporarily formed over the exposed surfaces to prevent the reformation of the natural oxide film.

    摘要: A dry etching method whereby an SiO.sub.2 layer and an Si.sub.3 N.sub.4 layer may be etched with high selectivity for each other. As etching gas, such sulfur fluorides as S.sub.2 F.sub.2 are used which, when dissociated by electric discharges, will form SF.sub.x.sup.+ as a main etchant for the SiO.sub.2 layer or F* as a main etchant for the Si.sub.3 N.sub.4 layer and release sulfur in the plasma. When the SiO.sub.2 layer is etched on the Si.sub.3 N.sub.4 layer as an underlying layer via a resist mask, nitrogen atoms, removed from the underlying layer upon exposure thereof to the plasma, will combine with sulfur in the plasma to form on the exposed surface thereof such sulfur nitride compounds as polythiazyl (SN).sub.x, which will, in turn, serve to achieve high selectivity for the underlying layer. The SiO.sub.2 layer can also be etched via an Si.sub.3 N.sub.4 mask patterned into a predetermined shape, in which case sulfur nitride compounds formed on the Si.sub.3 N.sub.4 mask will serve to achieve high selectivity therefor.
