    • RIE of metallization is achieved at low power and low pressure using Cl.sub.2 and HCl as reactant species by creating a transformer coupled plasma with power applied to electrodes positioned both above and below a substrate with metallization thereon to be etched. Three layer metallizations which include bulk aluminum or aluminum alloy sandwiched between barrier layers made from, for example, Ti/TiN, are etched in a three step process wherein relatively lower quantities of Cl.sub.2 are used in the plasma during etching of the barrier layers and relatively higher quantities of Cl.sub.2 are used during etching of the bulk aluminum or aluminum alloy layer. The ratio of etchants Cl.sub.2 and HCl and an inert gas, such as N.sub.2 are controlled in a manner such that a very thin side wall layer (10-100 .ANG.) of reaction byproducts created during RIE are deposited on the side walls of trenches formed in the metallization during etching. The side wall layer improves the isotropic nature of the etch such that submicron metallization lines with defect free side walls are formed. Hydrogen (H.sub.2) can be added to the plasma and will act to reduce corrosion.
    • 通过使用Cl2和HCl作为反应物种来实现金属化的RIE,通过产生变压器耦合的等离子体,其功率施加到位于要蚀刻的金属化的衬底上方和下方的电极上。 夹在由例如Ti / TiN制成的阻挡层之间的主体铝或铝合金的三层金属化被蚀刻在三步法中,其中在蚀刻阻挡层期间在等离子体中使用相对较少量的Cl 2,并且相对 在大量铝或铝合金层的蚀刻期间使用较高量的Cl 2。 蚀刻剂Cl2和HCl以及惰性气体(例如N 2)的比例被控制为使得在RIE期间产生的反应副产物的非常薄的侧壁层(10-100)沉积在形成的沟槽的侧壁上 蚀刻期间的金属化。 侧壁层改善了蚀刻的各向同性,从而形成具有无缺陷侧壁的亚微米金属化线。 可以将氢(H2)加入到等离子体中,并且起作用以减少腐蚀。

    • A method for forming integrated circuit conductors. The method includes the steps of placing in a reactive ion etching chamber a semiconductor body having disposed over a surface thereof: a metalization layer comprising an aluminum layer disposed between a pair of barrier metal layers; and, a photoresist layer disposed on a selected portion of a surface of an upper one of the pair of barrier layers. Radio frequency energy is inductively coupled into the chamber while silicon tetrachloride and chlorine are introduced into the chamber at rates selected to etch portions of the metalization layer exposed by the photoresist with aluminum having substantially vertical sidewalls. The silicon tetrachloride is introduced into the chamber at a rate in the range of 4 to 8 sccm. The rate of the chlorine is in the range of 50 sccm to 150 sccm. The chamber is at a pressure of about 12 milliTorr during the etching of the metalization layer. The chamber operates with an RF power of about 125 watts while the semiconductor is disposed on a platform in the chamber having an RF bias power level of about 250 watts during the etching.
    • 一种用于形成集成电路导体的方法。 该方法包括以下步骤:在反应离子蚀刻室中放置半导体本体,该半导体本体具有设置在其表面上的半导体本体;金属化层,包括设置在一对势垒金属层之间的铝层; 以及设置在所述一对势垒层中的上部的表面的选定部分上的光致抗蚀剂层。 射频能量感应耦合到腔室中,而四氯化硅和氯气以被选择用于蚀刻由具有基本垂直侧壁的铝的光致抗蚀剂暴露的金属化层的部分的速率引入室中。 四氯化硅以4至8sccm的范围内引入室中。 氯的速率在50sccm至150sccm的范围内。 在蚀刻金属化层期间,室的压力约为12毫乇。 该室以大约125瓦特的RF功率工作,同时在蚀刻期间半导体被布置在具有大约250瓦特的RF偏压功率水平的腔室中的平台上。
