b.(堆積時間3+活性化時間4)*Yサイクル、マスク上の堆積ビルドアップに、いくらかの差異が得られたら、後続の反復サイクルは、Co除去に、より重点をおくことができる。
a.ハードマスク上の堆積ビルドアップに、より重点をおくための、最初の数サイクルとして、(堆積+バイアス電圧1での活性化)*Xサイクル、これに続いて、
b.(堆積+バイアス電圧2での活性化)*Yサイクル、マスク上の堆積ビルドアップに、いくらかの差異が得られたら、後続の反復サイクルは、Co除去に、より重点をおくことができる。
いくつかの実施形態において、原子層エッチング(ALE)オペレーションおよび原子層堆積(ALD)オペレーションを含む反復的な堆積および活性化のプロセスに適し得る、誘導結合プラズマ(ICP)反応器について、以下で説明する。また、そのようなICP反応器は、「IMAGE REVERSAL WITH AHM GAP FILL FOR MULTIPLE PATTERNING(マルチプルパターニングのためのAHMギャップ充填における像反転)」と題する、2013年12月10日に出願された米国特許出願公開第2014/0170853号にも記載されており、この文献は、その全体があらゆる目的のために参照により本明細書に組み込まれる。本明細書ではICP反応器について記載しているものの、一部の実施形態では、容量結合プラズマ反応器を使用することもでき得ることは、理解されなければならない。
「実験1」
実験を実施して、基板の平滑度を評価した。接着層としての酸化物、窒化チタンと、さらに100nmのコバルトを含む、シリコン基板上のブランケット積層膜を、エッチング前に評価した。図6Aに示すような画像が取得されたが、これは、基板表面にわたって、さらには各種層の間の界面に、様々な塊および粒を示しており、高粗度を示唆している。図示のような測定値を採取したところ、それらは、110nm、113nm、112nm、111nmの厚さを示した。その後、開示の実施形態を用いて基板をエッチングした。予めリセス形成された(ウェットエッチングによってリセス形成された)コバルト層を含む基板であって、その上からハードマスクが堆積され、パターニングされたものを、BCl3および添加剤に暴露して、基板上にBClx層を堆積させた後に、その基板を活性化ガスに暴露するとともに、プラズマを点火した。BCl3および添加剤と、活性化ガスおよびプラズマと、これらの交互のパルスに、20サイクルにわたって基板を暴露した。そして、エッチングされた基板を、粗さについて評価した。結果として得られた基板から、図6Bに示すような画像が取得されて、その厚さが80.2nmと測定された。基板は、RMSが5nm未満の平滑な表面を示し、平滑度に少なくとも50%の改善を示している。
実験を実施して、開示の実施形態のエッチング速度を測定した。エッチング対象のブランケットコバルト層と、コバルト層の上から堆積されてパターニングされたハードマスクと、を有する基板を、BCl3および添加剤に暴露した。その後、基板を、活性化ガスおよびプラズマに暴露した。BCl3および添加剤と、活性化ガスおよびプラズマのサイクルに、20サイクルにわたって基板を暴露した。これらのサイクルによって、約1.4422nm/サイクルのエッチング速度で、コバルトを主に線状パターンでエッチングした。サイクル数に対するコバルト除去量について、データ点および線形モデルを図7に示している。
上記の実施形態は、明確な理解を目的として、ある程度詳細に記載しているが、添付の請求項の範囲内でいくらかの変更および変形を実施してもよいことは明らかであろう。なお、本発明の実施形態のプロセス、システム、および装置を実現する数多くの代替的形態があることに留意すべきである。よって、本発明の実施形態は例示とみなされるべきであって、限定するものではなく、また、実施形態は、本明細書で提示した詳細に限定されるものではない。
