Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005024922A1] The present invention discloses a method for forming a silicon dioxide cap layer for a carbon hard mask layer for the patterning of polysilicon line features having critical dimensions of 50 nm and less. To this end, a low temperature plasma- enhanced CVD process is used, in which the deposition rate is maintained low to provide improved controllability of the layer thickness and, thus, of the optical characteristics of the silicon dioxide layer.
