  1. ETCH PROFILES IN SOLID AND POROUS SiO2 • Porous SiO2 is being investigated for low-permittivity dielectrics for interconnect wiring. • In polymerizing environments with heavy sidewall passivation, etch profiles differ little between solid and porous silica. • The “open” sidewall pores quickly fill with polymer.  Position (m)  Position (m)  Porosity = 45 % Pore radius = 10 nm ANIMATION SLIDE  Solid University of Illinois Optical and Discharge Physics UTA_1102_36

  2. EFFECT OF PORE RADIUS ON CLEANING • Larger pores have poor view angles to ions and thicker polymer layers. • Lower rate of cleaning results. 4 nm 16 nm • Ar/O2=99/1, 40 sccm, 600 W, 4 mTorr University of Illinois Optical and Discharge Physics ANIMATION SLIDE GEM_0204_28

  3. CLEANING INTERCONNECTED PORES • Cleaning is inefficient with interconnected pores. • Higher interconnectivity leads to larger shadowing of ions. 100% 0% 60% • Interconnectivity • Ar/O2=99/1, 40 sccm, 600 W, 4 mTorr University of Illinois Optical and Discharge Physics ANIMATION SLIDE GEM_0204_29
