Dry etching method

TLDR
In this article, the authors proposed a method to obtain a selection ratio nearly equal to the one in the case where a silicon oxide film is used as mask material, by previously adding organic material having unsaturated bonds to etching gas.
Abstract
PURPOSE:To obtain a selection ratio nearly equal to the one in the case where a silicon oxide film is used as mask material, by previously adding organic material having unsaturated bonds to etching gas. CONSTITUTION:When dry etching is performed, in order to form contact holes and the like with a reactive ion etching equipment, by using a silicon oxide film as a mask, MMA (methacrylate methyl) being organic material having unsaturated bonds is added to etching gas. The organic material produces a polymerized film preventing the etching of substrate silicon, on the substrate silicon. Hence the decrease of the selection ratio of the silicon oxide film to the substrate silicon is avoided, and further the hole diameter dependency of the selection ratio can be decreased.

Method of etching tungsten or tungsten nitride electrode gates in semiconductor structures

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for etching tungsten or tungststen nitride was proposed, which permits precise etch profile control while providing excellent selectivity, of at least 175:1, for example, in favor of etching a gate electrode rather than an adjacent oxide layer.

Manufacturing method of semiconductor device

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of improving a surface protecting film in adhesion to a BLM film when solder balls are rearranged in Q flip chip bonding method is solved, where a wafer is heated to remove moisture contained in a first polyimide film 4 before the BLM films 6a and 6b are formed through sputtering.
