Assignee:
LAM RESEARCH CORPORATION - Fremont CA
International Classification:
H01L 21/3065
US Classification:
438717, 438723, 257E21218
Abstract:
A method for etching a dielectric layer disposed below a patterned organic mask with features, with hardmasks at bottoms of some of the organic mask features is provided. An etch gas is provided. The etch gas is formed into a plasma. A bias RF with a frequency between 2 and 60 MHz is provided that provides pulsed bias with a pulse frequency between 10 Hz and 1 kHz wherein the pulsed bias selectively deposits on top of the organic mask with respect to the dielectric layer.

View page
US Patent:
20130048082, Feb 28, 2013
Filed:
Aug 22, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/215159
Inventors:
Mirzafer Abatchev - Fremont CA, US
Bradley Howard - Fremont CA, US
Armen Kirakosian - Fremont CA, US
International Classification:
F17D 3/00
US Classification:
137 1, 137551
Abstract:
A rapid alternating process system and method of operating a rapid alternating process system includes a rapid alternating process chamber, a plurality of process gas sources coupled to the rapid alternating process chamber, wherein each one of the plurality of process gas sources includes a corresponding process gas source flow controller, a bias signal source coupled to the rapid alternating process chamber, a process gas detector coupled to the rapid alternating process chamber, a rapid alternating process chamber controller coupled to the rapid alternating process chamber, the bias signal source, the process gas detector and the plurality of process gas sources, the rapid alternating process chamber controller including logic for initiating a first rapid alternating process phase including: logic for inputting a first process gas into a rapid alternating process chamber, logic for detecting the first process gas in the rapid alternating process chamber, and logic for applying a corresponding first phase bias signal to the rapid alternating process chamber after the first process gas is detected in the rapid alternating process chamber.

Near-Field Transducer (Nft) For A Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording (Hamr) Device

View page
US Patent:
20180122407, May 3, 2018
Filed:
Jan 2, 2018
Appl. No.:
15/859922
Inventors:
- Fremont CA, US
XIAOKAI ZHANG - DUBLIN CA, US
ARMEN KIRAKOSIAN - WALNUT CREEK CA, US
JINWEN WANG - PLEASANTON CA, US
TSUNG YUAN CHEN - SAN RAMON CA, US
YUFENG HU - FREMONT CA, US
International Classification:
G11B 5/127
G11B 5/31
G11B 5/00
Abstract:
A method and system provides a near-field transducer (NFT) for a heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) transducer. The method and system include forming the disk of the NFT and forming the pin of the NFT. The disk is formed from a first material. The pin is formed from a second material different from the first material. The pin contacts the disk. At least a portion of the pin is between the disk and an air-bearing surface (ABS) location.

US Patent:
20170031352, Feb 2, 2017
Filed:
Oct 14, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/294619
Inventors:
- Fremont CA, US
Bradley Howard - Fremont CA, US
Armen Kirakosian - Fremont CA, US
International Classification:
G05B 19/418
Abstract:
A method for controlling an etch operation which is a rapid alternating process having etch and passivation phases is described. The method includes (a) supplying source power to an inductive coil of a plasma chamber, (b) initiating supply of a first process gas that flows along a distance separating a mass flow controller and the chamber, (c) detecting an optical signal from plasma generated within the chamber, with the optical signal being analyzed to identify a predefined change in amplitude relative to time, (d) triggering activation of bias power upon identifying the predefined change, the bias power being held active for a predefined amplitude duration during which the etch phase is primarily active, (e) initiating supply of a second process gas during a period in which the passivation phase is primarily active and the bias power is inactive, and (f) repeating (b)-(e) for additional cycles while processing an etch operation.

Assignee:
Lam Research Corporation - Fremont CA
International Classification:
H01L 21/306
US Classification:
438689
Abstract:
A method for forming devices in an oxide layer over a substrate, wherein a metal containing layer forms at least either an etch stop layer below the oxide layer or a patterned mask above the oxide layer, wherein a patterned organic mask is above the oxide layer is provided. The substrate is placed in a plasma processing chamber. The oxide layer is etched through the patterned organic mask, wherein metal residue from the metal containing layer forms metal residue on sidewalls of the oxide layer. The patterned organic mask is stripped. The metal residue is cleaned by the steps comprising providing a cleaning gas comprising BCland forming a plasma from the cleaning gas. The substrate is removed from the plasma processing chamber.
