Definitions
- the present application relates to the technical field of semiconductor chip production equipment, in particular to an excitation radio frequency system for a plasma etching machine.
- non-volatile materials such as Pt, Ru, Ir, NiFe, and Au are mainly dry-etched by inductively coupled plasma (ICP).
- ICP inductively coupled plasma
- Inductively coupled plasma is typically generated by coils positioned outside the plasma processing chamber adjacent to a dielectric window, and process gases within the chamber are ignited to form the plasma.
- voltages between different parts of the radio frequency coil are capacitively coupled into the plasma. While this coupling facilitates ignition and stabilization, the capacitively coupled portion can induce locally enhanced voltages throughout the plasma sheath. This can accelerate ions out of the plasma to locally affect the dielectric window, causing localized sputtering damage.
- metal gate materials such as Model, Ta, etc.
- high-k gate dielectric materials such as Al2O3
- HfO2 and ZrO2 The demand for dry etching of new non-volatile materials such as HfO2 and ZrO2 continues to increase, to solve the sidewall deposition and particle contamination of non-volatile materials during dry etching, and to improve the efficiency of the plasma processing chamber Cleaning process efficiency is essential.
