    Abstract: By exposing a process control wafer having a porous low-k-dielectric layer thereon in an HF-based low-k dielectric etching solvent comprising a dilating additive and a passivating additive, the pores in the low-k dielectric layer are dilated some of which connect with one another to form one or more continuous channels extending through the thickness of the dielectric layer and allowing the HF-based solvent to reach down to the substrate. Then the passivating additive component of the HF-based etching solvent forms a passivation layer at the dielectric layer and the substrate interface that protects substrate from the HF-based etchant.

    Abstract: The fabrication an NMOS device featuring a shallow source/drain region, performed as part of an integrated process sequence employed to integrate the fabrication of other type devices with the fabrication of the NMOS device, has been developed. A critical feature of the integrated process sequence is the formation of the shallow source/drain region of the NMOS accomplished after formation of the other type devices, thus reducing the risk of exposure of the shallow source/drain region to possible damaging procedures used for the other type devices. In addition the process used to remove a photoresist shape, used to protect the completed other type devices from the shallow source/drain ion implantation procedure, has been modified again to reduce possible damage to the shallow source/drain region. The flow of CF4 in the plasma tool during the photoresist removing plasma ashing procedure, as well as the length of the post-plasma ashing wet clean procedure, have both been reduced resulting in reduced exposure of the shallow source/drain region to these procedures.
