    • A method or process for etching a trench in an IC structure is disclosed. The IC structure might be comprised of a plurality of different component materials arranged proximate to one another, all of which need to be etched down to a target level. A first etching chemistry is applied which preferentially etches a one type of component material. A second etching chemistry is applied which preferentially etches another type of component material. The method or process toggles back and forth between the etching chemistries until the target level is reached. The toggling techniques serves to maintain the profiles of the different component materials. One component material might also be embedded, as a collar or otherwise, around another component material. The toggling technique can serve to modulate the height, level, or shape of one material relative to another material. The toggling steps can be performed in situ or ex situ. The toggling technique can be used with different mask materials, including a photoresist or a hardmask over the IC structure.
    • 公开了一种蚀刻IC结构中的沟槽的方法或工艺。 IC结构可以由多个彼此接近布置的不同组件材料组成,所有这些材料都需要被蚀刻到目标水平。 施加第一蚀刻化学品,其优先蚀刻一种类型的组分材料。 施加第二蚀刻化学品,其优先蚀刻另一种类型的组分材料。 该方法或过程在蚀刻化学物质之间来回切换,直至达到目标水平。 切换技术用于维护不同组件材料的轮廓。 一种组件材料也可以嵌入另一种组件材料中作为颈圈或其他材料。 切换技术可用于调节一种材料相对于另一种材料的高度,高度或形状。 切换步骤可以原位或异地进行。 切换技术可以用于不同的掩模材料,包括IC结构上的光刻胶或硬掩模。

    • An apparatus and method for etching a feature in a wafer with improved depth control and reproducibility is described. The feature is etched at a first etching rate and then at a second etching rate, which is slower than the first etching rate. An optical end point device is used to determine the etching depth and etching is stopped so that the feature has the desired depth. Two different etching rates provides high throughput with good depth control and reproducibility. The apparatus includes an etching tool in which a chuck holds the wafer to be etched. An optical end point device is positioned to measure the feature etch depth. An electronic controller communicates with the optical end point device and the etching tool to control the tool to reduce the etch rate part way through etching the feature and to stop the etching tool, so that that the feature is etched to the desired depth.
    • 描述了用改进的深度控制和再现性来蚀刻晶片中的特征的设备和方法。 该特征以第一蚀刻速率蚀刻,然后以比第一蚀刻速率慢的第二蚀刻速率蚀刻。 使用光学终点设备来确定蚀刻深度并且停止蚀刻,使得该特征具有期望的深度。 两种不同的蚀刻速率提供了高通量和良好的深度控制和可重复性。 该设备包括蚀刻工具,在该蚀刻工具中,卡盘保持待蚀刻的晶片。 定位光学终点设备以测量特征蚀刻深度。 电子控制器与光学终点设备和蚀刻工具通信以控制工具通过蚀刻特征部分地减少蚀刻速率并且停止蚀刻工具,使得该特征被蚀刻到期望的深度。

    • A cluster tool assembly includes a vacuum transfer module, a process module having a first side connected to the vacuum transfer module. An isolation valve having a first side and a second side, the first side of the isolation valve coupled to a second side of the process module. A replacement station is coupled to the second side of the isolation valve. The replacement station includes an exchange handler and a part buffer. The part buffer includes a plurality of compartments to hold new or used consumable parts. The process module includes a lift mechanism to enable placement of a consumable part installed in the process module to a raised position. The raised position provides access to the exchange handler to enable removal of the consumable part from the process module and store in a compartment of the part buffer. The exchange handler of the replacement station is configured to provide a replacement for the consumable part from the part buffer back to the process module. The lift mechanism is configured to receive the consumable part provided for replacement by the exchange handler and lower the consumable part to an installed position. The replacement by the exchange handler and the process module is conducted while the process module and the replacement station are maintained in a vacuum state.
