    • Methods for removing silicon nitride and elemental silicon during contact preclean process involve converting these materials to materials that are more readily etched by fluoride-based etching methods, and subsequently removing the converted materials by a fluoride-based etch. Specifically, silicon nitride and elemental silicon may be treated with an oxidizing agent, e.g., with an oxygen-containing gas in a plasma, or with O2 or O3 in the absence of plasma to produce a material that is more rich in Si—O bonds and is more easily etched with a fluoride-based etch. Alternatively, silicon nitride or elemental silicon may be doped with a number of doping elements, e.g., hydrogen, to form materials which are more easily etched by fluoride based etches. The methods are particularly useful for pre-cleaning contact vias residing in a layer of silicon oxide based material because they minimize the unwanted increase of critical dimension of contact vias.
    • 在接触预清洗过程中去除氮化硅和元素硅的方法包括将这些材料转化为通过基于氟化物的蚀刻方法更容易蚀刻的材料,并且随后通过基于氟化物的蚀刻除去转化的材料。 具体地说,氮化硅和元素硅可以用氧化剂处理,例如在等离子体中含有氧的气体,或者在没有等离子体的情况下用O 2或O 3处理,以产生更富含Si-O键的材料 并且更容易用基于氟化物的蚀刻蚀刻。 或者,氮化硅或元素硅可以掺杂多个掺杂元素,例如氢,以形成更容易被基于氟化物的蚀刻蚀刻的材料。 这些方法对于预清洁驻留在氧化硅基材料层中的接触通孔特别有用,因为它们使接触通孔的临界尺寸的不期望的增加最小化。
