Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a plasma stripping method, having a high selective ratio and a high processing capacity and a dry ashing process. SOLUTION: This is a method of removing a photoresist 16 and/or residues after etching from an exposed low K dielectric layer 14 and makes a non-oxygen plasma, having electrically neutral particles and charged particles, by exposing a non-oxygen gas to an energy source. Thereafter, the charge particles are selectively removed from the plasma. The electrically neutral particles react with the photoresist 16 and/or the residues after etching to form a volatile gas to be removed from a wafer by a gas flow. The gas composition of the non-oxygen plasma comprises a gas containing hydrogen and a gas containing fluorine, wherein the gas containing fluorine is about 10% or less of the gas composition.

Abstract: Low dielectric constant materials with improved elastic modulus and material hardness. The process of making such materials involves providing a dielectric material and ultraviolet (UV) curing the material to produce a UV cured dielectric material. UV curing yields a material with improved modulus and material hardness. The improvement is each typically greater than or about 50 %. The UV cured dielectric material can optionally be post-UV treated. The post-UV treatment reduces the dielectric constant of the material while maintaining an improved elastic modulus and material hardness as compared to the LIV cured dielectric material. UV cured dielectrics can additionally exhibit a lower total thermal budget for curing than for furnace curing processes.

Abstract: Low dielectric constant films with improved elastic modulus. The method of making such coatings involves providing a porous network coating produced from a resin containing at least 2 Si-H groups. The coating can be thermally cured and has a dielectric constant in the range of from about 1.1 to about 3.5. Plasma treatment of the thermally cured coating will convert the coating into porous silica. Plasma treatment of the thermally cured porous network coating yields a coating with improved modulus, but with a higher dielectric constant. The coating is plasma treated for between about 15 and about 120 seconds at a temperature less than about 350 DEG C. Porous network coatings can also be plasma cured without prior thermal curing. The coating can be plasma cured at a temperature between about 200 DEG C and about 250 DEG C for less than about 5 minutes. The thermally cured plasma treated coating or plasma cured coating can optionally be annealed. Annealing by rapid thermal processing (RTP) of the thermally cured plasma treated or plasma cured coating reduces the dielectric constant of the coating while maintaining an improved elastic modulus. The annealing temperature is preferably less than about 475 DEG C, and the annealing time is preferably no more than about 180 seconds. The annealed, thermally cured plasma treated or plasma cured coating has a dielectric constant in the range of from about 1.1 to about 3.5 and an improved elastic modulus.

Abstract: A substantially oxygen-free and nitrogen-free plasma ashing process for removing photoresist in the presence of a low k material from a semiconductor substrate includes forming reactive species by exposing a plasma gas composition to an energy source to form plasma. The plasma gas composition is substantially free from oxygen-bearing and nitrogen-bearing gases. The plasma selectively removes the photoresist from the underlying substrate containing low k material by exposing the photoresist to substantially oxygen and nitrogen free reactive species. The process can be used with carbon containing low k dielectric materials.
