Description
このセクションは、過酸化物(30重量%)、塩酸溶液(36重量%)、水酸化アンモニウム(29重量%)、および脱イオン水による様々な液体混合物を用いて、TiAlCのウェットエッチング化学を調査した一例について記載する。
本発明の最良の例について、図5~図7を参照して記載する。シリコンウェハ上における炭化チタンアルミニウム膜のドライプラズマエッチングプロセスの設計、ならびに金属窒化物(TiAlN、TiN、AlN)の上の金属炭化物(TiAlC、TiC、AlC)を選択する高い選択性の選択されたプラズマ化学の、一例についての記載が与えられる。ウェハは、高ラジカルプラズマ源(nAPP)を使用することによって、チャンバ内でラジカル発生とともに液体気相を導入されて処理される。水素含有および窒素含有ラジカルは、金属炭化物を改質して、ウェハの加熱によって脱離される金属窒素結合炭化水素の形成とともに、金属窒化物を形成することができる。ラジカル改質および有機金属揮発性物質の除去のサイクルは、金属窒化物に対して金属炭化物のみを選択的にエッチングすることができる。
第2の実施形態について、図8~図12を参照して記載する。Ar/液体気相プラズマを使用することによる、シリコンウェハ上の炭化チタンアルミニウム膜のドライプラズマエッチングの開発における一例についての記載が与えられる。この実施形態では、液体気相は、過酸化物溶液またはNH4OH/H2O2/H2Oの混合物から生成される。Arプラズマは、液体気相を解離して、FW-ICPシステムで反応種を発生させるのに使用される。圧力範囲は0.5kPa~70kPa、温度範囲は145℃~300℃である。より長い作業距離またはより低いVHF出力の場合、温度を145℃未満に下げてもよい。
第3の実施形態について、図13~図19を参照して記載する。上部Ar/液体気相プラズマをFW-ICP中で使用することによる、シリコンウェハ上の炭化チタンアルミニウム膜のドライプラズマエッチングの開発における一例についての記載が与えられる。液体気相源の選択によってラジカルの組成を変化させることができる。基本的に、水蒸気はOHラジカル源であり、アンモニア気相はNHラジカル源である。光放射スペクトルをモニタリングするため、組成を制御し、改質プロセスを最適化するために使用して、Ti-Al-C膜の任意の組成形態を整合させることができる。
一実施形態について図20~図22を参照して記載する。この実施形態は、NH4OHを含む混合物の気相のプラズマによって発生する反応種が使用され、金属窒化物膜上の金属炭化物膜が、300mmウェハ用のプラズマ処理装置内で選択的にエッチングされる、一例に対応する。
