Problems solved by technology

[0010] However, light-absorbing organic polymers, regardless of their deposition method, have significant drawbacks
For example, although these organic polymers are very light absorbing, thin films of these materials are often mechanically, chemically, or thermally unstable, and they often do not fully adhere to the typical inorganic matrix in which they are formed. On, therefore, there is a technical need for antireflective polymer films applied by CVD which do not suffer from the aforementioned disadvantages

Embodiment 1

[0117] Example 1: BTBAS (aminosilane)

[0118] The PECVD process uses bis-tert-butylaminosilane (BTBAS) to deposit thin films on silicon wafers. The wafer was processed in a 200mm Applied Materials DxZ PECVD chamber with a 150°C susceptor temperature. The deposition conditions are listed in Table 1. Once established BTBAS (200mgm) and N 2 (750sccm) flow rate, the pressure is stabilized at 3.0 Torr. Then apply RF power (13.56MHz, 200W) for 120 seconds to deposit Si v O w N x C y H z membrane. After deposition, remove the silicon wafer from the PECVD chamber and clean the chamber with NF3 plasma. Use reflectometer to measure Si v O w N x C y H z The film thickness (190nm) and refractive index (1.53) of the film. The absorbance of the film is shown in the relationship between the extinction coefficient and the wavelength range 240-950nm by mapping figure 2 in.

Embodiment 2

[0121] Example 2: BTBAS-NH 3

[0122] The PECVD process uses bis-tert-butylaminosilane (BTBAS) and ammonia (NH 3 ) Will Si v O w N x C y H z The film is deposited on the silicon wafer. The wafer was processed in a 200mm Applied Materials DxZ PECVD chamber with a 150°C susceptor temperature. The deposition conditions are listed in Table 1. Once established BTBAS (200mgm), N 2 (200sccm) and NH 3 (500sccm) flow rate will stabilize the pressure at 2.5 Torr. Then apply RF power (13.56MHz, 400W) for 300 seconds to deposit Si v O w N x C y H z membrane. Remove the silicon wafer from the PECVD chamber after deposition and use NF 3 Plasma cleans the chamber. Use reflectometer to measure Si v O w N x C y H zThe film thickness (816nm) and refractive index (1.49) of the film. The absorbance of the film is shown in the relationship between the extinction coefficient and the wavelength range 240-950nm by mapping figure 2 in.

Embodiment 3

[0123] Example 3: DEMS and ATRP

[0124] Referring to Table 2, the organic-inorganic composite material was co-deposited on the silicon wafer by PECVD from α-terpinene (ATRP) and diethoxymethylsilane (DEMS). Refer to the second round A2, for example, the method conditions are 540 milligrams per minute (mgm) ATRP flow rate and 60 mgm DEMS flow rate. Use 200sccm of carrier gas CO 2 Escort chemicals into the deposition chamber. The other method conditions are as follows: the chamber pressure is 5 Torr, the wafer clamp temperature is 400°C, the spray head is 0.35 inches from the wafer, and the plasma power is 800 watts. Such as image 3 As shown in 3000cm -1 The nearby FT-IR absorption shows the significant hydrocarbon content of these films. Strong C=C absorption (~1600cm -1 ). Compared with commercial spinning anti-reflective coating materials, these materials provide such Figure 4 Extinction coefficient profile shown. After UV radiation, the measured refractive index and extinctio...

Abstract

A method of forming a feature in a substrate comprises steps of: forming a dielectric layer on a substrate; forming an antireflective coating over the dielectric layer; forming a photoresist pattern over the antireflective coating; etching the dielectric layer through the patterned photoresist; and removing the antireflective coating and the photoresist, wherein the antireflective coating is a film represented by the formula SivOwCxNuHyFz , wherein v+w+x+u+y+z = 100%, v is from 1 to 35 atomic%, w is from 1 to 65 atomic%, x is from 5 to 80 atomic%, u is from 0 to 50 atomic %, y is from 10 to 50 atomic% and z is from 0 to 15 atomic%, wherein the antireflective coating is formed by the chemical vapor deposition of a composition comprising (1) at least one precursor selected from an organosilane, an organosiloxane, and an aminosilane; and (2) a hydrocarbon, and wherein the hydrocarbon is substantially not removed from the antireflective coating.

Description

[0001] Refer to related application [0002] This application claims priority based on 35 U.S.C. §119(e) of the prior U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 60 / 979,585 filed on October 12, 2007, which is hereby incorporated by reference. Background of the invention [0003] The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method of forming an anti-reflective coating (ARC) on silicon, dielectric materials, and integrated circuit precursor structures formed therefrom. [0004] In order to meet the demand for faster performance, the benchmark size of integrated circuit device features has been continuously reduced. The manufacturing of devices with smaller feature sizes poses new challenges to many traditional methods used for semiconductor manufacturing. The increasing demand for high density and high performance associated with ultra-large-scale integrated semiconductor wiring requires responsive cha...
