Abstract :
The goal of this research is to improve bending issue and etch durability of amorphous carbon hard mask film (APF). The design of experiments (DoE) employed variable conditions of the spacing, RF power, precursors flow (C3H6 or C2H2) and temperature. High Young´s modulus and high sp3/sp2 bonding ratio can increase the etching resistance, and strengthen the high aspect ratio patterning structures.
