摘要： Methods of forming a metal line and/or via critical dimension (CD) in a single or dual damascene process on a semiconductor substrate, and the resist scheme implemented, are disclosed. The method includes forming a multiple layer resist scheme including a first planarizing layer of a first type material over the substrate, a second dielectric layer of a second type material over the planarizing layer, and a third photoresist layer of a third type material over the dielectric layer. The types of material alternate between organic and inorganic material. The third layer is patterned for the metal line and/or via CD. Sequential etching to form the metal line and/or via critical dimension using a tailored etch recipe particular to each of the first photoresist layer, the second dielectric layer and the third planarizing layer as each layer is exposed is then used. Accurate CD formation and adequate resist budget are provided.

摘要： Novel interconnect structures possessing a dense OSG material for 90 nm and beyond BEOL technologies in which a low power density oxygen-based de-fluorination plasma process is utilized to increase NBLoK selectivity are presented. These BEOL interconnect structures are capable of delivering enhanced reliability and performance due to the reduced risk of Cu exposure and hence electromigration and stress migration related failures. The oxygen based de-fluorination process is such that the plasma conditions employed {low power density ( 100 mT); negligible ion current to wafer surface (applied source frequency only)} facilitate a physical expulsion of residual fluorine present on the chamber walls, wafer surface, and within the via structure; thus, minimizing the extent of NBLoK etching that can occur subsequent to removing polymeric byproducts of via etching.

摘要： Interconnect structures possessing an organosilicate glass based material for 90 nm and beyond BEOL technologies in which a multilayer hardmask using a line-first approach are described. The interconnect structure of the invention achieves respective improved device/interconnect performance and affords a substantial dual damascene process window owing to the non-exposure of the OSG material to resist removal plasmas and because of the alternating inorganic/organic multilayer hardmask stack. The latter feature implies that for every inorganic layer that is being etched during a specific etch step, the corresponding pattern transfer layer in the field is organic and vice-versa.

摘要： A method in effectuating the redirection of light which is propagated within a waveguide, and which eliminates the necessity for a bending of the waveguide, or the drawbacks encountered in directional changes in propagated light involving the need for sharp curves of essentially small-sized radii, which would resultingly lead to excessive losses in light. In this connection, the method relates to the fabricating and the provision of a wire-grid polarization beam splitter within an optical waveguide, which utilizes a diblock copolymer template to formulate the wire-grid.

摘要： A high ion energy and high pressure O2/CO-based plasma for ashing field photoresist material subsequent to via-level damascene processing. The optimized plasma ashing process is performed at greater than approximately 300 mT pressure and ion energy greater than approximately 500 W conditions with an oxygen partial pressure of greater than approximately 85%. The rapid ash rate of the high pressure/high ion energy process and minimal dissociation conditions (no “source” power is applied) allow minimal interaction between the interlevel dielectric and ash chemistry to achieve minimal overall sidewall modification of less than approximately 5 nm.
