20130252430 | METHOD FOR REDUCING DAMAGE TO LOW-K GATE SPACER DURING ETCHING - A method for performing a spacer etch process is described. The method includes providing a gate structure on a substrate having a low-k spacer material conformally applied over the gate structure, and performing a spacer etch process sequence to partially remove the spacer material from the gate structure and the substrate, while retaining a sidewall spacer positioned along a sidewall of the gate structure. The spacer etch process sequence may include depositing a spacer protection layer on an exposed surface of said spacer material, and performing one or more etching processes to selectively and anisotropically remove the spacer protection layer and the spacer material to leave behind the sidewall spacer on the sidewall of the gate structure, wherein, while being partly or fully consumed by the one or more etching processes, the spacer protection layer exhibits a reduced variation in composition and/or dielectric constant. | 09-26-2013 |
20140357084 | MITIGATION OF ASYMMETRICAL PROFILE IN SELF ALIGNED PATTERNING ETCH - A method which is particularly advantageous for improving a Self-Aligned Pattern (SAP) etching process. In such a process, facets formed on a spacer layer can cause undesirable lateral etching in an underlying layer beneath the spacer layer when the underlying layer is to be etched. This detracts from the desired vertical form of the etch. The etching of the underlying layer is performed in at least two steps, with a passivation layer or protective layer formed between the etch steps, so that sidewalls of the underlying layer that was partially etched during the initial etching are protected. After the protective layer is formed, the etching of the remaining portions of the underlying layer can resume. | 12-04-2014 |
20150249017 | SPACER MATERIAL MODIFICATION TO IMPROVE K-VALUE AND ETCH PROPERTIES - A method for performing a spacer etch process is described. The method includes conformally applying a spacer material over a gate structure on a substrate, and performing a spacer etch process sequence to partially remove the spacer material from a capping region of the gate structure and a substrate region on the substrate adjacent a base of the gate structure, while retaining a spacer sidewall positioned along a sidewall of the gate structure. The K-value of high-K spacer materials are reduced to an acceptable range with oxidation using an oxygen plasma treatment. The etch rate of low-K spacer materials are reduced to a target range using a nitrogen plasma treatment. Integration of the spacer etch processing is selected based on impact to the other structures in the substrate. | 09-03-2015 |

20130260561 | Aspect Ratio Dependent Deposition to Improve Gate Spacer Profile, Fin-Loss and Hardmask-Loss for FinFET Scheme - Techniques disclosed herein include systems and methods for an aspect ratio dependent deposition process that improves gate spacer profile, reduces fin loss, and also reduces hardmask loss in a FinFET or other transistor scheme. Techniques include depositing an aspect ratio dependent protective layer to help tune profile of a structure during fabrication. Plasma and process gas parameters are tuned such that more polymer can collect on surfaces of a structure that are visible to the plasma. For example, upper portions of structures can collect more polymer as compared to lower portions of structures. The variable thickness of the protection layer enables selective portions of spacer material to be removed while other portions are protected. | 10-03-2013 |

20090189365 | Motorized collapsible step - The present invention provides an improved collapsible step assembly for recreational vehicles. The movable step apparatus comprises a mounting frame, at least one step mounted to the frame through a linkage assembly, and a pivot rod with a longitudinal axis of rotation. In use, the pivot rod is rotatably mounted to the frame and rotates the linkage assembly and the at least one step between an extended position and a retracted position. Rotating the pivot rod in a first direction moves the step to the extended position, and rotating the pivot rod in the opposite direction moves the step to the retracted position. The linkage assembly includes a link which is movable in the direction of the link toward extension of the step to contact a stop of the frame that reacts against a gravitational load acting on the step. | 07-30-2009 |
