Method for sidewall spacer line doubling using atomic layer deposition of a titanium oxide

A method for sidewall spacer line doubling uses thermal atomic layer deposition (ALD) of a titanium oxide (TiOx) spacer layer. A hardmask layer is deposited on a suitable substrate. A mandrel layer of diamond-like carbon (DLC) is deposited on the hardmask layer and patterned into stripes with tops and sidewalls. A layer of TiOx is deposited, by thermal ALD without the assistance of plasma or ozone, on the tops and sidewalls of the mandrel stripes. Thermal ALD of the TiO2, without energy assistance by plasma or ozone, has been found to cause no damage to the DLC mandrel stripes. After removal of the TiOx from the tops of the mandrel stripes and removal of the mandrel stripes, stripes of TiO2 are left on the hardmask layer and may be used as an etch mask to transfer the pattern into the hardmask layer.

Selective titanium nitride removal

Methods are described herein for selectively etching titanium nitride relative to dielectric films, which may include, for example, alternative metals and metal oxides lacking in titanium and / or silicon-containing films (e.g. silicon oxide, silicon carbon nitride and low-K dielectric films). The methods include a remote plasma etch formed from a chlorine-containing precursor. Plasma effluents from the remote plasma are flowed into a substrate processing region where the plasma effluents react with the titanium nitride. The plasma effluents react with exposed surfaces and selectively remove titanium nitride while very slowly removing the other exposed materials. The substrate processing region may also contain a plasma to facilitate breaking through any titanium oxide layer present on the titanium nitride. The plasma in the substrate processing region may be gently biased relative to the substrate to enhance removal rate of the titanium oxide layer.

Structures, methods, and systems for ferroelectric memory transistors

Integrated memory circuits, key components in thousands of electronic and computer products, have recently been made using ferroelectric memory transistors, which offer faster write cycles and lower power requirements than over conventional floating-gate transistors. One problem that hinders the continued down-scaling of conventional ferroelectric memory transistors is the vulnerability of their gate insulations to failure at thinner dimensions. Accordingly, the inventors devised unique ferroelectric gate structures, one of which includes a high-integrity silicon-oxide insulative layer, a doped titanium-oxide layer, a weak-ferroelectric layer, and a control gate. The doped titanium-oxide layer replaces a metal layer in the conventional ferroelectric gate structure, and the weak-ferroelectric layer replaces a conventional ferroelectric layer. These replacements reduce the permittivity mismatch found in conventional gate structures, and thus reduce stress on gate insulation layers, thereby improving reliability of ferroelectric memory transistors, particularly those with thinner gate insulation.
