摘要

Once annealed, high-k metal oxides such as HfO_2 and Al_2O_3 can be extremely difficult to etch by wet chemical methods. Here we describe how ion bombardment at relatively low energy (a few hundred eV) can be used to make exposed regions of annealed HfO_2 films etchable in aqueous HF-based solutions. HfO_2 layers, 2-5 nm in thickness, were deposited by atomic layer chemical vapor deposition (ALCVD) on Si substrates, annealed at 700 ℃, and subjected to selected-area ion bombardment supplied by an oxygen plasma in a reactive ion etching tool. Etch times (as indicated by time to "dewet") were examined as a function of HfO_2 thickness, the power and time of oxygen plasma treatments, post-oxygen-plasma anneals, and wet etch chemistry. Strategies for etching thicker films and additional data provided by electrochemical open circuit potential (OCP) measurements will also be discussed.
