ABSTRACTA highly selective nitride etch was developed for gate stack spacer process in advanced memory programs. Based on methyl fluoride chemistry with better than 8:1 selectivity of nitride:oxide, this process exhibits minimal erosion to the underlying RTO thermal oxide for consistent diffusion ion-implant control. As the groundrule changed to 0.175um and below, a two-step etch scheme was employed to maintain the profile control in high-aspect-ratio structures. The stability and repeatability of the process is demonstrated in the SPC chart of the post etch FTA site measurement.
