Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated feature scale modeling of plasma processing of porous and solid SiO2. I. Fluorocarbon etching
Arvind Sankaran,Mark J. Kushner +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Monte Carlo Feature Profile Model was modified to address these two-phase systems and was validated by comparison to experiments by others for etching of porous silicon-dioxide (PS) and solid SiO2 (SS).
Journal ArticleDOI
Fluorocarbon plasma etching and profile evolution of porous low-dielectric-constant silica
Arvind Sankaran,Mark J. Kushner +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a feature profile model has been integrated with a plasma equipment model to address scaling issues during fluorocarbon plasma etching of porous silicon dioxide (PS) materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Etching of porous and solid SiO2 in Ar∕c-C4F8, O2∕c-C4F8 and Ar∕O2∕c-C4F8 plasmas
Arvind Sankaran,Mark J. Kushner +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a feature profile model capable of addressing two-phase porous materials has been proposed for blanket etching of solid and porous SiO2 in C-C4F8-based plasmas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Harmonic content of electron-impact source functions in inductively coupled plasmas using an “on-the-fly” Monte Carlo technique
Arvind Sankaran,Mark J. Kushner +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an on-the-fly Monte Carlo (OTF) technique is described to address these time-dependent plasma parameters, which directly computes moments of the EEDs during advancement of the trajectories of the pseudoparticles, thereby reducing computational complexities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated feature scale modeling of plasma processing of porous and solid SiO2. II. Residual fluorocarbon polymer stripping and barrier layer deposition
Arvind Sankaran,Mark J. Kushner +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a feature profile model for plasma stripping of fluorocarbon polymers using oxygen containing plasmas and deposition of metal barrier coatings into porous SiO2 trenches was developed, which was validated by comparison to experiments for blanket plasma etching of polytetrafluoroethylene using Ar-O2 chemistries.
