Abstract
【解決手段】プラズマ処理室に主エッチングガスが流入される。第1の圧力を提供しながら、主エッチングガスがプラズマにされる。20℃未満のウェハ温度が維持される。プラズマにより上記複数のシリコン系二重層のうちの複数の組を貫いてエッチングする間に、第1の圧力よりも低い第2の圧力まで圧力を降下させる。上記複数の二重層のうち第1の複数の組がエッチングされた後に、主エッチングガスの流入を停止させる。
【選択図】図1
Description
本発明の実施形態の一例では、ウェハ基板上でスタックを形成するシリコン系の複数の二重層の中に、高アスペクト比ビアをエッチングする。各々の二重層は、好ましくは20〜40nmの厚さを有している。複数の二重層の上にマスクが形成される(ステップ104)。図2Aは、ウェハ212上でメモリスタック208を構成する複数の二重層の上に形成されたマスク204の断面図である。本実施形態では、複数の二重層の各々の二重層は、ポリシリコンの層220の下の酸化ケイ素(SiO)の層216によって形成されている。本実施形態では、マスク204は、アモルファスカーボンである。エッチング停止層など1つまたは複数の層を、スタック208とウェハ212との間に配置してもよく、あるいは、ウェハ212をランディング層として用いてもよい。メモリスタック208とマスク204との間に1つまたは複数の層を配置することができる。
