Example: Patterning of SiO2 Si-substrate (a) Silicon base material (b) After oxidation and deposition of negative photoresist (c) Stepper exposure Photoresist SiO 2 UV-light Patterned optical mask Exposed resist SiO 2 Si-substrate SiO 2 2 (d) After development and etching of resist, chemical or plasma etch of SiO 2 (e) After etching (f) Final result after removal of resist Hardened resist Chemical or plasma etch Scaling is getting mask-based steps more and more challenging Done in parallel on the entire wafer
15
Recurring processing step (1) DIFFUSION and ION IMPLANTATION Doping recurs many times. Two approaches: DIFFUSION IMPLANTATION: wafers in quartz tube in a heated furnace (900-1100 °C); dopants in gas diffuse in the exposed surface vertically and horizontally. more dopants on the surface than deeper in the material ION IMPLANTATION (+ annealing): dopants introduced by directing a beam of purified ions over semiconductor surface. Ions accelerations deepness of penetration; Beam current and exposure time dosage. lattice damage. Repair by ANNEALING step (heating based) A wafer handling tray in ion implantation The magnets used to control the ion beam Diffusion furnace
16
Recurring processing step (2) DEPOSITION Repetitively, material is deposited over the wafer (buffering, insulating, etc.). Different techniques depending on materials Chemical vapor deposition (CVD): gas-phase reaction with energy supplied by heat (850°C). Ex. Si 3 N 4 Chemical deposition: Silane gas over heated wafer coated with SiO 2 = Polysilicon non-crystalline amorphous material Sputtering for Alluminium interconnect layers. Alluminium evaporated in vacuum, heated by electron- beam or ion-beam bombarding. … etc.
17
Recurring processing step (3) ETCHING To selectively form patterns (wires, contact holes) Wet etching – use of acid or basic solutions Dry or plasma etching – well defined directionality (sharp vertical contours) PLANARIZATION To ensure a flat surface a chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP) step is included before deposition of extra-metal layer on top of insulating SiO2
