ECE 695: Processing Plasma: Etching JK LEE (Spring, 2006)
IEDF Affects Contact Process Etch stop High polymerization with low energy ions Ion shading effect, large ion angular dist. Bowing – Ion specular reflection High polymerization and large Ion energy Ion shading effect, some ion angular dist. Straight profile Low pressure, collisionless sheath Optimum polymerization with medium ion energy Vertical mask profile, less ion specular reflection Low ion shading effect, small ion angular dist.
Profile Control – IEDF and Polymer 1D PIC code – 3 years in development with POSTECH/Lam Bulk plasma and polymerization assumption Can be linked to 2D/3D profile simulators 2D/3D Profile Simulators Ion flux and density from bulk simulator Can be used to predict contact profiles
