Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction effect of line edge roughness on time-dependent dielectric breakdown lifetime of Cu/low-k interconnects by using CF3I etching
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the etching of grooves in low-k in Cu technology and found that CF3I gas was found to reduce the line edge roughness better than conventional gases such as CF4 and CHF3.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low-damage low-k etching with an environmentally friendly CF3I plasma
Eiichi Soda,Seiichi Kondo,Shuichi Saito,Yoshinari Ichihashi,Aiko Sato,Hiroto Ohtake,Seiji Samukawa +6 more
TL;DR: The feasibility of etching Cu/low-k interconnects by using a low global warming potential CF3I plasma was studied in this article, where low-damage etching was done and porous SiOC (p-SiOC, k < 2.6) film with low roughness was produced.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Applicability of extreme ultraviolet lithography to fabrication of half pitch 35nm interconnects
Hajime Aoyama,Yuusuke Tanaka,Kazuo Tawarayama,Naofumi Nakamura,Eiichi Soda,Noriaki Oda,Yukiyasu Arisawa,Taiga Uno,Takashi Kamo,Kentaro Matsunaga,Daisuke Kawamura,Toshihiko Tanaka,Hiroyuki Tanaka,Shuichi Saito,Ichiro Mori +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the applicability of EUVL to the fabrication of back-end-of-line (BEOL) test chips with a feature size of hp 35672nm, which corresponds to the 19-nm logic node.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism of reducing line edge roughness in ArF photoresist by using CF3I plasma
TL;DR: In this article, the roughening mechanism of ArF photoresist during etching was investigated to find out why CF3I gas reduces the line edge roughness (LER) in the photoresists pattern better than CF4 gas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmentally harmonized CF3I plasma for low-damage and highly selective low-k etching
TL;DR: In this article, a low-damage, high-rate, and highly selective low-k etching can be simultaneously satisfied using a plasma with an environmentally harmonized gas chemistry (CF3I).
