To achieve high speed and high performance, the feature size of future ULSI circuits must be continuing shrinking. RC delay becomes a major limitation for device performance. Various types of organic low-k polymers have been developed as promising candidates for next generation interconnection dielectrics. However, the electrical, chemical, mechanical, and thermal properties of these new materials are not fully satisfied, and the patterning of these materials was rarely discussed. In this study, we investigated the plasma treatment and dry etching characteristics of two organic low-k dielectrics, FLARE/sup TM/ 2.0 and fluorinated amorphous carbon (a-C:F).

Next generation lithography requires masks with new structures fabricated by silicon process. We have studied etching characteristics of Ta, which is a strong candidate for absorber or scatterer patterns in NGL masks. Many groups reported Ta etching with mixture gases, but we performed Ta etching with pure chlorine chemistry and obtained a clear 0.2 /spl mu/m line and space patterns through the step etching process.

Pb(Zr,Ti)O/sub 3/ (PZT) thin films have been actively investigated for use in nonvolatile memory devices, piezoelectric sensors, pyroelectric infrared detectors and surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices etc. To fabricate PZT thin film, sol-gel method has been commonly used because of its several advantages such as ease of composition control, high purity, and low processing temperature. In sol-gel processing, it was reported that the solvent of stock solution strongly effects the final properties of PZT thin film. However, a solvent for stock solution is limited from the consideration of reaction with precursor. 2-methoxyethanol has been generally used due to its high reactivity. However, to improve the density of film, solvent with light molecular weight is more desirable. Even though the solvents with light molecular weight has the advantage, those have been rarely used as solvent because it is difficult to control the reaction kinetic between the solvent and precursor alkoxide. Due to the limitations mentioned above, there were few reports about the sol-gel derived PZT thin films using light alcohol such as methanol and ethanol. Moreover, comparing the effects of various solvents to final PZT films has never been reported. Therefore, in this work the authors study the effects of the solvent on the properties of PZT films.

In this study, we have investigated the polarization dependence of photoinduced birefringence (PB), /spl Delta/n in As/sub 40/Ge/sub 10/Se/sub 15/S/sub 35/ chalcogenide thin film with a He-Ne Laser at 633 nm as a pumping beam and a semiconductor laser at 780 nm as a probing beam. Also, the PB transformation for polarization states-linear, circular, elliptical polarization-was investigated. The polarization state of circular, elliptical was produced using a /spl lambda//4 wave plate. The thickness of the film is about 0.9 /spl mu/m which was made close to the optimal thickness, 1 /spl mu/m, which is the penetration depth of the pumping light.

We chose chromium, Cr, and tantalum, Ta, metals as a new absorbing material for extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) reflection mask. These metals are frequently used in photomask or X-ray mask for lithography and their fabrication processes are well investigated. This paper shows the calculated transmittance of EUV light for various metals at the wavelength of 13.5 nm. Thee transmittance (or absorbing ability) of Cr and Ta metals for the EUV light is nearly equal to that of tungsten, W. We have fabricated the reflection masks with Cr or Ta metal absorbers deposited on top of Mo/Si multilayer reflectors.

Lithography improvements and device scaling have been the major driver behind the industry productivity as predicted by Moore's law over the past three decades. In fact for the past five years, in an effort to remain the productivity curve when other improvements (e.g., tool reliability, process yield) have reached their practical limits, the industry has accelerated the introduction of smaller feature sizes. Between 1994 and 1999 the technology roadmap for feature size introduction has been pulled in three years. The current timeline has features below 0.13um introduced in product by 2001. The ability to continue on this path will be dominated by two key factors at dimensions below 0.13 /spl mu/m. The first factor is the approaching limits to the scaling laws and performance benefits at the chip level. The second is cost. The author briefly reviews possible future developments in this field.
