Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a fin structure is provided. A method according to an embodiment may include: forming a patterned pattern transfer layer on a substrate; forming a first spacer on sidewalls of the pattern transfer layer; forming a second spacer on sidewalls of the first spacer; selectively removing the pattern transfer layer and the first spacer; and patterning the substrate with the second spacer as a mask, so as to form an initial fin.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for manufacturing a fin structure. The method may include forming an initial fin on a substrate, forming a dielectric layer on the substrate to cover the initial fin, planarizing the dielectric layer by sputtering, and further etching the dielectric layer back to expose a portion of the initial fin, wherein the exposed portion serves as a fin.
Abstract:
A method of depositing a tungsten (W) layer is disclosed. In one aspect, the method includes depositing a SiH4 base W film on a surface of a substrate to preprocess the surface. The method includes depositing a B2H6 base W layer on the preprocessed surface. The SiH4 base W film may be several atom layers thick. The film and base W layer may be deposited in a single ALD process, include reactive gas soak, reactive gas introduction, and main deposition operations. Forming the film may include introducing SiH4 gas into a reactive cavity during the gas soak operation, and introducing SiH4 and WF6 gas into the cavity during the gas introduction operation. The SiH4 and WF6 gases may be alternately introduced, for a number of cycles depending on the thickness of the tungsten layer to be deposited.
