Etching method letting the conductor outside

Methods of etching a dielectric layer and a cap layer over a conductor to expose the conductor are disclosed. In one embodiment, the methods include the use of a silicon dioxide (SiO2) etching chemistry including octafluorocyclobutane (C4F8) and a titanium nitride (TiN) etching chemistry including t...

Zusammenfassung:Methods of etching a dielectric layer and a cap layer over a conductor to expose the conductor are disclosed. In one embodiment, the methods include the use of a silicon dioxide (SiO2) etching chemistry including octafluorocyclobutane (C4F8) and a titanium nitride (TiN) etching chemistry including tetrafluoro methane (CF4). The methods prevent etch rate degradation and exhibit reduced electro-static discharge (ESD) defects.
