摘要
We address some of the plasma issues encountered for ultimate silicon gate patterning that should be fixed in order to establish the long term viability of plasma processes in integrated circuits manufacturing. For sub-100-nm gate dimensions, one of the main issues is to precisely control the shape of the etched feature. This requires a detailed knowledge of the various physico-chemical mechanisms involved in plasma etching and deposition. (C) 2003 Published by Elsevier B.V.
