Description
本出願は、米国特許出願第15/820,110号、2017年11月21日出願、名称「ATOMIC LAYER DEPOSITION AND ETCH FOR REDUCING ROUGHNESS」に対する優先権の利益を主張するものであり、その全体が全ての目的で参照により本明細書に組み込まれる。
以下の説明では、多数の特定の詳細を示し、本実施形態に対する完全な理解を提供する。開示する実施形態は、これら特定の詳細の一部又は全てを伴わずに実行してよい。他の例では、周知の工程動作は、開示する実施形態を不必要に曖昧にしないように、詳細に説明していない。開示する実施形態は、特定の実施形態と共に説明するが、開示する実施形態を限定する意図ではないことは理解されよう。
フィーチャのサイズが縮小し、ピッチがより小さくなり、相補型金属酸化物半導体(CMOS)技術のスケールがより小さなノードになるにつれて、薄型共形堆積技法は、重要性を増し続けている。原子層堆積法(ALD)は、膜形成技法であり、ALDが単一薄型材料層を堆積するため、薄型共形膜の堆積にかなり適している。薄型共形膜の厚さは、膜形成化学反応自体の前に、基板表面上に吸着し得る1つ又は複数の前駆体反応物の量によって制限される(即ち、吸着制限層)。ALDによって形成される各層は、薄く、共形であり、得られる膜は、下にあるデバイス構造体及びフィーチャの形状に実質的に適合する。
パターニング方法は、所望のフィーチャを達成するため、多くの半導体製造工程で使用されている。フォトレジスト・パターニング等のマスクは、下にある層をパターニングし、1-Dフィーチャ(線、トレンチ等)及び2-Dフィーチャ(例えば、穴、正方形等)を含む所望のフィーチャを形成するように働く。しかし、マスクの縁部は、通常、まっすぐではなく、直線性からの偏差につながる。直線性からの偏差は、パターン・フィーチャ内に非直線性の生成をもたらし、デバイスの性能に悪影響を与えることがある。そのような偏差は、ライン・ワイズ・ラフネス(LWR)及び/又はライン・エッジ・ラフネス(LER)として特徴付け得る。
本開示の実装形態は、原位置でのALD及びエッチングを使用して粗さを低減する方法に関する。いくつかの実装形態では、原位置でのALD動作及びエッチング動作は、LWR及び/又はLERが低減したフィーチャを形成するために、マスク上に共形層を堆積し、マスクの下にある層をエッチングすることによって実施してよい。いくつかの実装形態では、原位置でのALD動作及びエッチング動作は、側壁粗さが改善した高い縦横比のフィーチャを形成するために、1つ又は複数の構造体上に不活性化層を堆積し、1つ又は複数の構造体の下にある層をエッチングすることによって実施してよい。いくつかの実装形態では、ALDステップ及びエッチング・ステップのサイクルは、図1で説明したプラズマ処理装置内で実施される。エッチングと同じプラズマ処理装置内で実施されるALDのサイクルは、共形の堆積をもたらし、半導体デバイスのフィーチャ内の粗さの低減に使用される。
上記の実施形態は、理解を明快にする目的である程度詳細に説明してきたが、特定の変更及び修正を添付の特許請求の範囲内で行ってよいことは明らかであろう。本実施形態の方法、システム及び装置を実施する多くの代替様式があることに留意されたい。したがって、本実施形態は、限定的ではなく、例示的とみなすべきであり、実施形態は、本明細書で示す詳細に限定すべきではない。本開示は、例えば以下の形態として実現できる。
