    Abstract: The present invention has an objective to provide a processing method and an ion beam processing apparatus capable of inhibiting deposition of redeposited films even for fine patterns. In an embodiment of the present invention, ion beam processing is performed such that an etching amount of an ion beam incident in extending directions of pattern trenches formed on a substrate is made larger than the etching amount of the ion beam incident in other directions. This processing enables fine patterns to be processed while inhibiting redeposited films from being deposited on the bottom portions of the trenches of the fine patterns.

    Abstract: A plasma processing tool is used to deposit material on a workpiece. For example, a method for conformal deposition of material is disclosed. In this embodiment, the plasma sheath shape is modified to allow material to impact the workpiece at a range of incident angles. By varying this range of incident angles over time, a variety of different features can be deposited onto. In another embodiment, a plasma processing tool is used to etch a workpiece. In this embodiment, the plasma sheath shape is altered to allow ions to impact the workpiece at a range of incident angles. By varying this range of incident angles over time, a variety of differently shaped features can be created.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for etching substrates such as silicon wafers are provided. In one specific approach, a surface of the substrate assembly is covered with a resist that is patterned to define features to be etched. In this approach, the surface is then exposed to a plasma in a plasma etcher so that surface areas not covered with the resist are etched, while the thickness of the resist increases or etches at a rate that is at least ten times slower than that of the exposed areas of the surface. This etching process can be followed with a conventional plasma etch. By combining the etching that increases the resist thickness with the conventional etching of resist in which the resist thins during etching, features having high-aspect-ratios can be etched.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for an improved plasma processing. A first power source alternates between high and low power cycles to produce and sustain a plasma, and a second power source alternates between high and low power cycles to accelerate ions toward the substrate being processed. Preferably, the power sources are synchronized such that the second power provides each high power cycle substantially during the time that the first power source provides each low power cycle. Commencement of each high power cycle provided by the second power source may be delayed for a period of time after each high power cycle provided by the first power source terminates. This approach allows electrons to cool off and accumulated charge on surface features of the substrate to dissipate before ions are accelerated toward the substrate for processing. The power sources may also be synchronized such that the both power sources are in a high power state during initial plasma power up to facilitate coupling power to the plasma and reduce problems associated with impedance mismatch between the plasma and the first power source.
