Removal of SOC Hard Mask for Patterning of Work Function Metal by Thermally Activated Ozone Gas
Solid State Phenomena(2021)
摘要
Thermally activated ozone gas (TAO) was demonstrated as an alternative technology to conventional spin-on carbon (SOC) stripping. The SOC stripping rate with ozone gas was found to be a function of substrate temperature and actual ozone amount calculated from the ozone flow rate and concentration. Furthermore, work function metal (WFM) stripping rate showed a high selectivity to SOC films, and the amount of oxidation TiN, which is a WFM metal, was also equivalent to conventional technology of SOC stripping. This TAO gas process can be used in clean tools, making it a promising integrated solution for SOC stripping followed by post clean.
