High Temperature Silicon Surface Providing High Selectivity In An Oxide Etch Process

View page
US Patent:
6399514, Jun 4, 2002
Filed:
Aug 24, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/645924
Inventors:
Jeffrey Marks - San Jose CA
Jerry Yuen-Kui Wong - Fremont CA
David W. Groechel - Sunnyvale CA
Peter R. Keswick - Newark CA
Assignee:
Applied Materials, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H01L 21302
US Classification:
438729, 438711, 438714, 438719, 438723, 216 71, 216 79, 216 80
Abstract:
A plasma process for etching oxide and having a high selectivity to silicon including flowing into a plasma reaction chamber a fluorine-containing etching gas and maintaining a temperature of an exposed silicon surface within said chamber at a temperature of between 200Â C. and 300Â C. An example of the etching gas includes SiF and a fluorocarbon gas. The plasma may be generated by a capacitive discharge type plasma generator or by an electromagnetically coupled plasma generator, such as an inductively coupled plasma generator. The high selectivity exhibited by the etch process permits use of an electromagnetically coupled plasma generator, which in turn permits the etch process to be performed at low pressures of between 1 and 30 milliTorr, resulting the etching of vertical sidewalls in the oxide layer.

Plasma Reactor With Heated Source Of A Polymer-Hardening Precursor Material

US Patent:
6440866, Aug 27, 2002
Filed:
Jun 16, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/595750
Inventors:
Kenneth S. Collins - San Jose CA
Michael Rice - Pleasanton CA
David W. Groechel - Los Altos Hills CA
Gerald Zheyao Yin - Cupertino CA
Jon Mohn - Saratoga CA
Craig A. Roderick - San Jose CA
Douglas Buchberger - Tracy CA
Jeffrey Marks - San Jose CA
Peter Keswick - Fremont CA
Assignee:
Applied Materials, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H01L 2100
US Classification:
438714, 156345, 216 67, 216 68, 438715, 438723, 438738, 438743
Abstract:
A general method of the invention is to provide a polymer-hardening precursor piece (such as silicon, carbon, silicon carbide or silicon nitride, but preferably silicon) within the reactor chamber during an etch process with a fluoro-carbon or fluoro-hydrocarbon gas, and to heat the polymer-hardening precursor piece above the polymerization temperature sufficiently to achieve a desired increase in oxide-to-silicon etch selectivity. Generally, this polymer-hardening precursor or silicon piece may be an integral part of the reactor chamber walls and/or ceiling or a separate, expendable and quickly removable piece, and the heating/cooling apparatus may be of any suitable type including apparatus which conductively or remotely heats the silicon piece.

Method For Processing Substrates Using Gaseous Silicon Scavenger

US Patent:
6444137, Sep 3, 2002
Filed:
Jul 1, 1996
Appl. No.:
08/673972
Inventors:
Kenneth S. Collins - San Jose CA
Jerry Yuen-Kui Wong - Fremont CA
Jeffrey Marks - San Jose CA
Peter R. Keswick - Newark CA
David W. Groechel - Sunnyvale CA
Assignee:
Applied Materials, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
C23F 100
US Classification:
216 79, 216 67, 216 68
Abstract:
A plasma reactor chamber uses an antenna driven by RF energy (LF, MF, or VHF) which is inductively coupled inside the reactor dome. The antenna generates a high density, low energy plasma inside the chamber for etching oxygen-containing layers overlying non-oxygen-containing layers with high selectivity. Auxiliary RF bias energy applied to the wafer support cathode controls the cathode sheath voltage and controls the ion energy independent of density. Various magnetic and voltage processing enhancement techniques are disclosed, along with other etch processes, deposition processes and combined etch/deposition processes. The disclosed invention provides processing of sensitive devices without damage and without microloading, thus providing increased yields. Etching of an oxygen-containing layer overlying a non-oxygen-containing layer can be achieved with high selectivity.

Abstract:
The invention is embodied in an RF plasma reactor for processing a semiconductor workpiece, including wall structures for containing a plasma therein, a workpiece support, a coil antenna capable of receiving a source RF power signal and being juxtaposed near the chamber, the workpiece support including a bias electrode capable of receiving a bias RF power signal, and first and second magnet structures adjacent the wall structure and in spaced relationship, with one pole of the first magnet structure facing an opposite pole of the second magnet structure, the magnet structures providing a plasma-confining static magnetic field adjacent said wall structure. The invention is also embodied in an RF plasma reactor for processing a semiconductor workpiece, including one or more wall structures for containing a plasma therein, a workpiece support, the workpiece support comprising a lower electrode, an upper electrode facing the lower electrode and spaced across a plasma generation region of said chamber from said lower electrode, and first and second magnet structures adjacent the wall structure and in spaced relationship with one pole of the first magnet structure facing an opposite pole of the second magnet structure, the magnet structures providing a plasma-confining static magnetic field adjacent said wall structure.
