Method of topologically restricted plasma-enhanced cyclic deposition of silicon or metal nitride
Abstract:
In an embodiment, a method for transferring a pattern constituted by vertical spacers arranged on a template with intervals to the template, includes depositing by plasma-enhanced cyclic deposition a layer as a spacer umbrella layer substantially only on a top surface of each vertical spacer made of silicon or metal oxide, wherein substantially no layer is deposited on sidewalls of the vertical spacers and on an exposed surface of the template, followed by transferring the pattern constituted by the vertical spacers to the template by anisotropic etching using the vertical spacers with the spacer umbrella layers.
