对使用CF4/Ar 混合气体刻蚀Al1.3Sb3Te的特性进行了研究。实验控制的参数是：气体流入刻蚀腔的速率,CF4/Ar 比例,O2的加入量,腔内压强以及加在底电极上的入射射频功率。总的气体流量是50sccm ,研究刻蚀速率与CF4/Ar的比例,O2加入量,腔内压强和入射射频功率的关系。最后刻蚀参数被优化。 使用优化的刻蚀参数CF4的浓度4%,功率300W,压强800mTorr,刻蚀速率达到70.8nm/min,刻蚀表面平整     

InAs/GaSb二类超晶格红外探测材料的ICP刻蚀

分别采用 Cl2/Ar和SiCl4/Ar作为刻蚀气体对InAs/GaSb二类超晶格红外探测材料进行ICP（Inductively Couple Plasma）刻蚀。结果表明,两种刻蚀气体的刻蚀深度与刻蚀时间都呈线性关系;在2 mTorr气压下,RF功率为50 W,SiCl4流量为3 sccm,Ar为9 sccm时,刻蚀速率为100 nm/min,且与材料的掺杂浓度无关。实验还表明,SiCl4/Ar作为刻蚀气体时,Ar流量在很大范围内对刻蚀速率没用明显影响,但Ar的流量越大,刻蚀的均匀性越好;用Cl2/Ar作为刻蚀气体时,刻蚀速率也是100 nm/min,但Ar流量对刻蚀速率有影响:当Ar流量小于3 sccm时,刻蚀速率随Ar流量的减小而明显降低。

采用溶胶-凝胶法,在Pt/Ti/SiO2/p-Si衬底上制备BNT(Bi3.15Nd0.85 Ti3 O12)薄膜,再采用ICP刻蚀工艺,对BNT薄膜进行刻蚀.当Ar∶Cl2的比例约为1∶4时,BNT薄膜的刻蚀速率达到最大.经过ICP刻蚀后,BNT薄膜的铁电性能有所下降,薄膜边缘平直、清晰,薄膜所受的拉应力先增大,后随着加入Ar比例的增大而逐渐减小.     

IGZO-TFT钝化层三元复合结构过孔刻蚀

IGZO-TFT钝化层设计三元复合过孔结构,出现了20%过孔相关不良。本文以CF4/O2为反应气体,采用控制变量法,从功率、气体成分和比例、压力等方面对氧化物TFT钝化层的电感耦合等离子体刻蚀机理进行研究。当钝化层为SiO2或SiNx单组分时,氧气可以促进刻蚀反应;随着CF4/O2比例增加,刻蚀速率先增大后趋于稳定,并且当CF4/O2=15/8时,刻蚀速率和均一性达到最优;与源功率相比,提高偏压功率在提升刻蚀速率中起主导作用,同时均一性控制在15%以内;当压力在4Pa以内时,刻蚀速率随着压力的降低而增加。据此分析,对复合结构SiNx/SiO2、SiO2/SiNx、SiNx/SiO2/SiNx的刻蚀过程进行优化,得到了形貌规整、无残留物的过孔,过孔相关不良得到100%改善。

利用反应溅射的方法沉积Ta2O5高介电薄膜,研究了溅射过程中氧气与氩气的体积流量比Ψ(O2:Ar)对薄膜电学性能的影响。结果表明,制备的薄膜退火后为多晶态四方结构的β-Ta2O5。随着Ψ(O2:Ar)的增大,薄膜的沉积速率逐渐减小,积累电容逐渐增大,等效氧化层厚度逐渐减小,平带电容增大,氧化层中可动离子电荷密度逐渐减小。当Ψ(O2:Ar)=6:5时,所沉积Ta2O5薄膜的相对介电常数r最大,为38.32;当Ψ(O2:Ar)=2:5时,漏电流密度最小,仅为7.7×10–7A/cm2。

SF6/O2等离子体刻蚀a-C:F薄膜的研究

以SF6/O2为刻蚀气体,采用电子回旋共振等离子体反应离子刻蚀(ECR-RIE)方法进行了氟化非晶碳(a-C∶F)低介电常数薄膜的等离子体刻蚀技术研究,结果表明,a-C∶F薄膜的刻蚀速率取决于薄膜中C—CFx与CFx两类基团刻蚀过程,富C—CFx结构的a-C∶F薄膜刻蚀速率在O2含量约20%时达到最大,而富CFx结构的a-C∶F薄膜刻蚀速率随O2的增大而减小。AFM分析表明,SF6气体刻蚀a-C∶F薄膜可以有效消除薄膜表面的团聚结构。XPS能谱分析表明,SF6气体刻蚀a-C∶F薄膜样品化学组分未发生变化,而O2气体刻蚀后在样品表面形成富C的a-C∶F层。该研究结果为a-C∶F应用于超大规模集成电路层间介质工艺奠定了必要的实验基础。

Etching characteristics and plasma-induced damage of Ba0.65Sr0.35TiO3 thin films etched in CF4/Ar/O2 plasma

Sol-gel-derived Ba_0.65Sr_0.35TiO₃ (BST) thin films were etched in CF₄/Ar/O₂ plasma using magnetically enhanced reactive ion etching technology. The maximum etch rate of BST film is 8.47 nm/min when CF₄/Ar/O₂ gas mixing ratio is equal to 9/36/5. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis indicates the accumulation of fluorine-containing by-products on the etched surface due to their poor volatility, resulting in (Ba,Sr)-rich and (Ti,O)-deficient etched surface. Compared to the unetched counterparts, the etched Ba 3d_5/2, Ba 3d_3/2, Sr 3d_5/2, Sr 3d_3/2, Ti 2p_3/2, Ti 2p_1/2 and O 1s photoelectron peaks shift towards higher binding energy regions by amounts of 1.31, 1.30, 0.60, 0.79, 0.09, 0.46 and 0.50 eV, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis reveals that intensities of the etched BST (1 0 0), (1 1 0), (2 0 0) and (2 1 1) peaks are lowered and broadened. Raman spectra confirm that the Raman peaks of the etched film shift towards lower wave number regions with the values of 7, 6, 4 and 4 cm⁻¹, and the corresponding phonon lifetimes are longer than those of the unetched film because of the plasma-induced damage. When the etched films are postannealed at 650 °C for 20 min under an O₂ ambience, the chemical shifts of Ba 3d, Sr 3d, Ti 2p and O 1s peaks, the variations for atomic concentrations of Ba, Sr, Ti and O, and the Raman redshifts are reduced, while the corresponding XRD peak intensities increase. It is conceivable that the plasma-induced damage of the etched film could be partially recovered during the postannealing process.

钙钛矿结构的钛酸锶钡(BST)薄膜作为优良的介电、铁电材料在新一代的微机械系统(MEMS)、动态存储器(DRAM)及其他器件上的广泛应用,使得BST薄膜的刻蚀特性越来越重要。该文利用反应离子刻蚀装置,研究了溶胶-凝胶工艺制备的钛酸锶钡薄膜在CHF3/Ar等离子气体中的刻蚀情况。通过分析刻蚀速率及薄膜刻蚀前后表面形貌的变化,结果表明,刻蚀过程是离子轰击、离子辅助化学反应和化学反应刻蚀共同作用的结果。刻蚀速率为5.1 nm/min。Sr元素较难去除,成为阻碍刻蚀的重要因素。     

Microstructure and electrical characteristics of Ba0.65Sr0.35TiO3 thin films etched in CF4/Ar/O2 plasma

Radio frequency magnetron sputtered Ba_0.65Sr_0.35TiO₃ (BST) thin films were etched in CF₄/Ar/O₂ plasma by magnetically enhanced reactive ion etching technique. The etching characteristics of BST films were characterized in terms of microstructure and electrical properties. Atomic force microscopy and X-ray diffraction results indicate that the microstructure of the etched BST film is degraded because of the rugged surface and lowered intensities of BST (1 0 0), (1 1 0), (1 1 1) and (2 0 0) peaks compared to the unetched counterparts. Dielectric constant and dielectric dissipation of the unetched, etched and postannealed-after-etched BST film capacitors are 419, 346, 371, 0.018, 0.039 and 0.031 at 100 kHz, respectively. The corresponding dielectric tunability, figure of merit and remnant polarization are 19.57%, 11.56%, 17.25%, 10.87, 2.96, 5.56, 3.62 μC/cm², 2.32 and 2.81 μC/cm² at 25 V, respectively. The leakage current density of 1.75 × 10⁻⁴ A/cm² at 15 V for the etched BST capacitor is over two orders of magnitude higher than 1.28 × 10⁻⁶ A/cm² for the unetched capacitor, while leakage current density of the postannealed-after-etched capacitor decreases slightly. It means that the electrical properties of the etched BST film are deteriorated due to the CF₄/Ar/O₂ plasma-induced damage. Furthermore, the damage is alleviated, and the degraded microstructure and electrical properties are partially recovered after the etched BST film is postannealed at 923 K for 20 min under a flowing O₂ ambience.     

Etch damage evaluation on (Bi4−xLax)Ti3O12 thin films during the etch process using inductively coupled plasma sources

The etching mechanism of (Bi_4−xLa_x)Ti₃O₁₂ (BLT) thin films in Ar/Cl₂ inductively coupled plasma (ICP) and plasma-induced damages at the etched surfaces were investigated as a function of gas-mixing ratios. The maximum etch rate of BLT thin films was 50.8 nm/min of 80% Ar/20% Cl₂. From various experimental data, amorphous phases on the etched surface existed on both chemically and physically etched films, but the amorphous phase was thicker after the 80% Ar/20% Cl₂ process. Moreover, crystalline “breaking” appeared during the etching in Cl₂-containing plasma. Also the remnant polarization and fatigue resistances decreased more for the 80% Ar/20% Cl₂ etch than for pure Ar plasma etch.     

Selective etching of (Ba,Sr)TiO3 thin films over silicon in an inductively coupled plasma

In this work, we investigated etching characteristics of BST thin films and higher selectivity of BST over Si using inductive coupled O₂/Cl₂/Ar plasma (ICP) system. The maximum etch rate of BST thin films and selectivity of BST over Si were 61.5 nm/min at a O₂ addition of 1 sccm, 9.52 at a O₂ addition of 4 sccm into the Cl₂(30%)/Ar(70%) plasma, respectively. Plasma diagnostics was performed by Langmuir probe (LP), optical emission spectroscopy (OES) and quadrupole mass spectrometry (QMS). These results confirm that the increased etch rates at O₂ addition of 1 sccm is the result of the enhanced chemical reaction between BST and Cl radicals and an ion bombardment effect.

薄GaAs层化学腐蚀及它的表面结构

用pH=7±O.05的H_2O_2-NH_4OH溶液,在5±1℃,对晶句是(100)的高阻或浓度为2×10~(13)cm~(-3)的n型GaAs衬底进行腐蚀试验.发现腐蚀速率不但与搅拌有关,且在最初半分钟左右或开始250～500(?)的GaAs腐蚀,其腐蚀速率比更长时问或更深腐蚀时要快得多.分析表明,NH_4OH向GaAs与溶体界面的扩散很可能是腐蚀过程的限制步骤.对腐蚀后的残余氧化层进行测试分析,认为化学腐蚀后在表面有一层极薄的氧化物层,接着是过渡层.用HCI或NH_4OH水溶液清洗则可去除氧化物层并缩小过渡层.

Reactive-ion etching of Ge2Sb2Te5 in CF4/Ar plasma for non-volatile phase-change memories

Etching of Ge₂Sb₂Te₅ (GST) is a critical step in the fabrication of chalcogenide random access memories. In this paper, the etch characteristics of GST films were studied with a CF₄/Ar gas mixture using a reactive-ion etching system. We observed a monotonic decrease in etch rate with decreasing CF₄ concentration indicating its importance in defining the material removal rate. Argon, on the other hand, plays an important role in defining the smoothness of the etched surface and sidewall edge acuity. We have studied the importance of gas mixture and RF power on the quality of the etched film. The smoothest surfaces and most vertical sidewalls were achieved using a CF₄/Ar gas mixture ratio of 10/40, a background pressure of 80 mTorr, and power of 200 W.
