A lower plasma-exclusion-zone ring for a bevel etcher is provided that is configured to etch a bevel edge of a substrate. The lower plasma-exclusion-zone ring includes a ring-shaped body and a radially-outer stepped surface. The ring-shaped body of the lower plasma-exclusion-zone ring ...
another pattern is lithographically created for the vias, and holes are etched down to the polysilicon layer. The etch is controlled to remove only the silicon dioxide, so each hole stops when the polysilicon is reached.
An RLCG representation would be sufficient to characterize a power module based on Si devices. Looking into the future, Wide Band Gap (WBG) semiconductors such as silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) [11] are moving fast forward. These new technologies also have much higher ...
The entire wafer is then covered with an insulating layer of glass and silicon nitride to protect it from contamination during assembly. This protective coating is called the passivation layer. A final mask and passivation etch process follows, removing the passivation material from terminals, which ...
Then, the Si-substrate is dipped into etchant liquid and then is heated by a predetermined to be etched. In addition, the Si-substrate may be etched. Further, the etch stop layers are formed by patterning through a photolithography process after coating silicon nitride with a predetermined ...

The three approaches vary in complexity: 1.) Conventional organic anti-reflective coating (ARC) with a photoresist etch mask, 2.) Inorganic silicon oxynitride dielectric ARC (DARC) with a photoresist etch mask and 3.) A PVD tungsten cap layer used as a hardmask. The reliability performance ...
