    • A method of adjusting the cathode DC bias in a plasma chamber for fabricating semiconductor devices. A dielectric shield is positioned between the plasma and a selected portion of the electrically grounded components of the chamber, such as the electrically grounded chamber wall. The cathode DC bias is adjusted by controlling one or more of the following parameters: (1) the surface area of the chamber wall or other grounded components which is blocked by the dielectric shield; (2) the thickness of the dielectric; (3) the gap between the shield and the chamber wall; and (4) the dielectric constant of the dielectric material. In an apparatus aspect, the invention is a plasma chamber for fabricating semiconductor devices having an exhaust baffle with a number of sinuous passages. Each passage is sufficiently long and sinuous that no portion of the plasma within the chamber can extend beyond the outlet of the passage. By blocking the plasma from reaching the exhaust pump, the exhaust baffle reduces the deposition of unwanted particles on exhaust pump components. The exhaust baffle also reduces the cathode DC bias by reducing the effective surface area of the electrically grounded chamber wall which couples RF power to the plasma.
    • 一种调整用于制造半导体器件的等离子体室中的阴极直流偏压的方法。 电介质屏蔽件位于等离子体和室的电接地部件的选定部分之间,例如电接地室壁。 通过控制一个或多个以下参数来调节阴极直流偏压:(1)腔室壁的表面积或由介电屏蔽件阻挡的其它接地部件; (2)电介质的厚度; (3)屏蔽和室壁之间的间隙; 和(4)介电材料的介电常数。 在装置方面,本发明是用于制造半导体器件的等离子体室,其具有带有多个弯曲通道的排气挡板。 每个通道足够长和弯曲,使得室内的等离子体的任何部分不能延伸超过通道的出口。 通过阻止等离子体到达排气泵,排气挡板减少排气泵部件上不想要的颗粒的沉积。 排气挡板还通过减少将RF功率耦合到等离子体的电接地室壁的有效表面积来减小阴极DC偏压。

    • The present disclosure pertains to an integrated post-etch treatment method which is performed after a dielectric etch process. Using the method of the invention, byproducts formed on the sidewalls of contact vias during the dielectric etch process can be removed efficiently. The method of the invention also reduces or eliminates the problem of polymer accumulation on process chamber surfaces. An overlying photoresist layer and anti-reflection layer are removed during the performance of the post-etch treatment method. Typically, after the etch of a dielectric material to define pattern or interconnect filling spaces, a series of post-etch treatment steps is performed to remove residues remaining on the wafer after the dielectric etch process. According to the method of the present invention, a post-etch treatment method including one or more steps is performed after the dielectric etch process, preferably within the same processing chamber in which the dielectric etch process was performed. The post-etch treatment method comprises exposing a semiconductor structure to a plasma generated from a source gas comprising oxygen, a nitrogen-comprising gas, and a reactive gas comprising hydrogen, carbon, and fluorine. Two optional steps, a flushing step prior to the post-etch treatment and a cleaning step subsequent to the post-etch treatment, can be performed for the purpose of enhancing the fluorine and byproduct removal and post-etch chamber cleaning.
    • 本公开涉及在电介质蚀刻工艺之后执行的集成后蚀刻处理方法。 使用本发明的方法,可以有效地去除在电介质蚀刻工艺期间在接触通孔的侧壁上形成的副产物。 本发明的方法还减少或消除了聚合物在处理室表面上积聚的问题。 在蚀刻后处理方法的执行期间,去除覆盖的光致抗蚀剂层和抗反射层。 通常,在蚀刻电介质材料以限定图案或互连填充空间之后,执行一系列后蚀刻处理步骤以在电介质蚀刻工艺之后去除残留在晶片上的残留物。 根据本发明的方法,在电介质蚀刻工艺之后,优选在进行电介质蚀刻工艺的相同处理室内执行包括一个或多个步骤的后蚀刻处理方法。 蚀刻后处理方法包括将半导体结构暴露于由包含氧,含氮气体和包含氢,碳和氟的反应性气体的源气体产生的等离子体。 可以执行两个可选步骤,即在蚀刻后处理之前的冲洗步骤和在蚀刻后处理之后的清洁步骤,以便增强氟和副产物去除以及蚀刻后清洁。

    • A plasma etch process, particularly applicable to an self-aligned contact etch in a high-density plasma for selectively etching oxide over nitride, although selectivity to silicon is also achieved. In the process, a fluoropropane or a fluoropropylene is a principal etching gas in the presence of a substantial amount of an inactive gas such as argon. Good nitride selectivity has been achieved with hexafluoropropylene (C3F6), octafluoropropane (C3F8), heptafluoropropane (C3HF7), hexafluoropropane (C3H2F6). The process may use one or more of the these gases in proportions to optimize selectivity and a wide process window. Difluoromethane (CH2F2) or other fluorocarbons may be combined with the above gases, particularly with C3F6 for optimum selectivity over other materials without the occurrence of etch stop in narrow contact holes and with a wide process window.
    • 等离子体蚀刻工艺,特别适用于高密度等离子体中的自对准接触蚀刻,用于选择性地蚀刻氮化物上的氧化物,尽管也可以实现对硅的选择性。 在此过程中,氟丙烷或氟丙烯是在大量惰性气体如氩气存在下的主要蚀刻气体。 使用六氟丙烯(C 3 F 6),八氟丙烷(C 3 F 8),七氟丙烷(C 3 H F 7),六氟丙烷(C 3 H 2 F 6)已经实现了良好的氮化物选择性。 该方法可以使用一种或多种这些气体的比例来优化选择性和宽的工艺窗口。 二氟甲烷(CH 2 F 2)或其它碳氟化合物可以与上述气体,特别是与C3F6组合,以优于其他材料的选择性,而不会在狭窄的接触孔和宽的工艺窗口中发生蚀刻停止。
