    摘要: A method of etching exposed silicon-and-nitrogen-containing material on patterned heterogeneous structures is described and includes a remote plasma etch formed from a fluorine-containing precursor and an oxygen-containing precursor. Plasma effluents from the remote plasma are flowed into a substrate processing region where the plasma effluents react with the exposed regions of silicon-and-nitrogen-containing material. The plasmas effluents react with the patterned heterogeneous structures to selectively remove silicon-and-nitrogen-containing material from the exposed silicon-and-nitrogen-containing material regions while very slowly removing other exposed materials. The silicon-and-nitrogen-containing material selectivity results partly from the presence of an ion suppression element positioned between the remote plasma and the substrate processing region. The ion suppression element reduces or substantially eliminates the number of ionically-charged species that reach the substrate. The methods may be used to selectively remove silicon-and-nitrogen-containing material at more than twenty times the rate of silicon oxide.

    摘要: A method of suppressing the etch rate for exposed silicon-and-nitrogen-containing material on patterned heterogeneous structures is described and includes a two stage remote plasma etch. The etch selectivity of silicon relative to silicon nitride and other silicon-and-nitrogen-containing material is increased using the method. The first stage of the remote plasma etch reacts plasma effluents with the patterned heterogeneous structures to form protective solid by-product on the silicon-and-nitrogen-containing material. The plasma effluents of the first stage are formed from a remote plasma of a combination of precursors, including nitrogen trifluoride and hydrogen (H2). The second stage of the remote plasma etch also reacts plasma effluents with the patterned heterogeneous structures to selectively remove material which lacks the protective solid by-product. The plasma effluents of the second stage are formed from a remote plasma of a fluorine-containing precursor.

    摘要: The selective growth of vertically aligned, highly dense carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays using a thermal catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) method via selection of the supporting layer where the thin catalyst layer is deposited on. A thin iron (Fe) catalyst deposited on a supporting layer of tantalum (Ta) yielded CCVD growth of the vertical dense CNT arrays. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy revealed a Vollmer-Weber mode of Fe island growth on Ta, with a small contact angle of the islands controlled by the relative surface energies of the supporting layer, the catalyst and their interface. The as-formed Fe island morphology promoted surface diffusion of carbon atoms seeding the growth of the CNTs from the catalyst surface.
