    • A plasma etch process, particularly applicable to a self-aligned contact etch or other advanced structures requiring high-selectivity to nitride or other non-oxide materials and producing no etch stop. The process is preferably performed in a high-density plasma reactor for etching holes with either high or low aspect rations. In this process, hexafluoropropylene (C3F6) is the principal etching gas and another hydrofluorocarbon such as CH2F2 or C3H2F6 is added at least in part for its polymer-forming ability, which increases selectivity of etching oxide to nitride. The process gas also includes a substantial amount of an inactive gas such as argon. The process gas mixture can be balanced between the active etching gas and the polymer former in proportions to optimize 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,特别适用于需要对氮化物或其他非氧化物材料的高选择性并且不产生蚀刻停止的自对准接触蚀刻或其它高级结构。 该方法优选在高密度等离子体反应器中进行,用于蚀刻具有高或低纵横比的孔。 在该方法中,六氟丙烯(C 3 F 6)是主要的蚀刻气体,并且至少部分地由于其聚合物形成能力而添加另一种氢氟烃,例如CH 2 F 2或C 3 H 2 F 6,这增加了蚀刻氧化物对氮化物的选择性。 工艺气体还包括大量惰性气体如氩气。 工艺气体混合物可以在有效蚀刻气体和聚合物成型剂之间以比例平衡,以优于其它材料的选择性,而不会在狭窄的接触孔和宽的工艺窗口中发生蚀刻停止。

    • A plasma etch process, particularly applicable to a self-aligned contact etch or other advanced structures requiring high-selectivity to nitride or other non-oxide materials and no etch stop. The process is preferably performed in a high-density plasma reactor for etching holes with either high or low aspect rations. In this process, hexafluoropropane (C.sub.3 H.sub.2 F.sub.6) is the principal etching gas in the presence of a substantial amount of an inactive gas such as argon. The process can also be used with the closely related gases heptafluoropropane (C.sub.3 HF.sub.7) and pentafluoropropane (C.sub.3 H.sub.3 F.sub.5). The process may use one or more of the these gases in proportions to optimize selectivity over other materials without the occurrence of etch stop in narrow contact holes and with a wide process window. Difluoromethane (CH.sub.2 F.sub.2) or other fluorocarbons may be combined with the above gases for optimum selectivity for a design of a specific contact feature.

    • 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.

    • An integrated in situ oxide etch process particularly useful for a counterbore dual-damascene structure over copper having in one inter-layer dielectric level a lower nitride stop layer, a lower oxide dielectric, a lower nitride stop layer, an upper oxide dielectric layer, and an anti-reflective coating (ARC). The process is divided into a counterbore etch and a trench etch with photolithography for each, and each step is preferably performed in a high-density plasma reactor having an inductively coupled plasma source primarily generating the plasma and a capacitively coupled pedestal supporting the wafer and producing the bias power. The counterbore etch preferably includes at least four substeps of opening the ARC, etching through the upper oxide and nitride layers, selectively etching the lower oxide layer but stopping on the lower nitride layer, and a post-etch treatment for removing residue. The trench etch preferably includes the five substeps of opening the ARC, etching through the upper oxide layer but stopping on the upper nitride layers, a first post-etch treatment for removing residue, a nitride removal of the exposed portions of the upper and lower nitride layers, and a second post-etch treatment for remaining further residues. The oxide etches selective to nitride are accomplished using a fluorocarbon chemistry with high bias and a high temperature for a silicon-based scavenger for fluorine placed next to the plasma. The nitride etches and removal are accomplished by adding an oxygen-containing gas to a fluorocarbon. The final nitride removal is accomplished with very low bias power to increase selectivity to nitride and reduce sputtering of the underlying copper. The post-etch treatments are oxygen plasmas with zero bias power.

    • The invention is embodied in a method of processing a semiconductor workpiece in a plasma reactor chamber, including supplying a polymer and etchant precursor gas containing at least carbon and fluorine into the chamber at a first flow rate sufficient of itself to maintain a gas pressure in the chamber in a low pressure range below about 20 mT, supplying a relatively non-reactive gas into the chamber at second flow rate sufficient about one half or more of the total gas flow rate into the chamber, in combination with the first flow rate of the precursor gas, to maintain the gas pressure in the chamber in a high pressure range above 20 mT, and applying plasma source power into the chamber to form a high ion density plasma having an ion density in excess of 1010 ions per cubic centimeter. In one application of the invention, the workpiece includes an oxygen-containing overlayer to be etched by the process and a non-oxygen-containing underlayer to be protected from etching, the precursor gas dissociating in the plasma into fluorine-containing etchant species which etch the oxygen-containing layer and carbon-containing polymer species which accumulate on the non-oxygen-containing underlayer. Alternatively, the high pressure range may be defined as a pressure at which the skin depth of the inductive field exceeds {fraction (1/10)} of the gap between the inductive antenna and the workpiece.
