Abstract:
A multidimensional optical recording medium and recording and playback apparatus of the same are disclosed. The multidimensional optical recording medium includes a plurality of tracks having a tangential length, a radial width, and a track center. Each of the plurality of tracks is formed at a predetermined interval for writing data therein. At least one mark as encoded data is formed in at least one of the plurality of tracks. The data is encoded by modulating at least one of tangential position, tangential length, radial width, radial offset, or mark characteristic such as depth or reflectivity. The recording and playback apparatus include at least one light source (30) for radiating at least one light beam to the optical recording medium (36). The light beam is arranged such that the light beam spot is able to write and/or read marks anywhere within a track.
Abstract:
A system and method for removing post-etch polymer residue from a surface of a substrate includes identifying a dry flash chemistry for removing the post-etch polymer residue from the surface of the substrate. The dry flash chemistry is configured to selectively remove the post-etch polymer residue left behind by an etch operation in a region where a feature was formed through a low-k dielectric film layer. The identified dry flash chemistry is applied using a short flash process to remove at least a portion of the post-etch polymer residue while minimizing the damage to the dielectric film layer. A wet cleaning chemistry is then applied to the surface of the substrate. The application of the wet cleaning chemistry aids in substantially removing the remaining post-etch polymer residue left behind by the short flash process.
