High-Temperature Stable Spin-On Carbon Materials For Advanced Pattern Transfer Applications

By Brewer Science - 16 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

In recent years a strong demand has arisen for spin-on carbon (SOC) materials compatible with high-temperature processes. This requirement is to enable usage of high-temperature SOC (HTSOC) materials in integration schemes utilizing chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and/or atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes. In addition to compatibility with the high-temperature deposition processes, planari... » read more

High-Temperature-Stable, Spin-On Carbon Materials For High-Aspect-Ratio Gap-Fill Applications

By Brewer Science - 16 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

Brewer Science, Inc. has developed a class of novel, high-temperature-stable spin-on carbon (SOC)-based materials with excellent processability. These SOCs are cured under mild conditions and have flow properties that enable the fill of high-aspect-ratio vias in a void-free manner. Moreover, this new class of SOCs has remarkable thermal stability and can survive temperatures of up to 550°C wit... » read more

Development Of Planarizing Spin-On Carbon Materials For High-Temperature Processes

By Brewer Science - 20 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

Multilayer lithography is used for advanced semiconductor processes to pattern complex structures. As more and more procedures incorporate a high-temperature process, such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD), the need for thermally stable materials increases. For certain applications, a spin-on carbon (SOC) layer under the CVD layer is required to survive through a high-temperature process. ... » read more

Advanced Materials For High-Temperature Process Integration

By James Lamb - 16 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 0

From the last several lithography nodes, in the 14 to 10nm range, to the latest nodes, in the 7 to 5nm range, the requirements for patterning and image transfer materials have increased dramatically. One of the key pinch points is the tradeoff between planarization and the high-temperature stability required from carbon films used in patterning and post-patterning process integration. Patter... » read more

Super Planarizing Material For Trench And Via Arrays

By Brewer Science - 21 May, 2020 - Comments: 0

As device design scales and becomes more complex, fine control of patterning and transfer steps is integral. Planarization of deep trenches and via arrays has always been a challenge. Aspect ratios continue to increase while critical dimensions shrink, and typical trench fill schemes are no longer able to meet the fill and planarization requirements. Traditional design of spin-on carbon (SOC) m... » read more
