  • Publication number: 20140213062
    Abstract: Multilayered stacks having layers of silicon interleaved with layers of a dielectric, such as silicon dioxide, are plasma etched with non-corrosive process gas chemistries. Etching plasmas of fluorine source gases, such as SF6 and/or NF3 typically only suitable for dielectric layers, are energized by pulsed RF to achieve high aspect ratio etching of silicon/silicon dioxide bi-layers stacks without the addition of corrosive gases, such as HBr or Cl2. In embodiments, a mask open etch and the multi-layered stack etch are performed in a same plasma processing chamber enabling a single chamber, single recipe solution for patterning such multi-layered stacks. In embodiments, 3D NAND memory cells are fabricated with memory plug and/or word line separation etches employing a fluorine-based, pulsed-RF plasma etch.

  • Patent number: 8771923
    Abstract: A radiation-sensitive composition includes a low-molecular-weight compound, a solvent and a radiation-sensitive acid-generator other than the low-molecular-weight compound. The low-molecular-weight compound has one or more acid-dissociable groups which decompose by an action of an acid to enhance solubility in an alkaline developing solution and one or more radiation-sensitive acid-generating groups which generate an acid upon application of an active ray or radiation per molecule. The low-molecular-weight compound has a polystyrene-reduced number-average molecular weight (Mn) measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) of 500 to 4,000. The low-molecular-weight compound is not obtained from chain growth polymerization of a monomer with an unsaturated bond. A content of the low-molecular-weight compound is 80 mass % or more of 100 mass % of a total solid component of the radiation-sensitive composition. The low-molecular-weight compound is a compound shown by a following formula (1).

    Abstract: An image display device includes a holder and an optical component. The holder has an optical path. The optical component is mounted to the holder such that the optical component is disposed in the optical path of the holder. The holder has a first portion with a first edge part and a second portion with a second edge part. The holder is integrally formed as a one-piece, unitary member. The first and second portions are axially and adjacently arranged relative to each other along an optical axis of the optical path of the holder. The first and second edge parts at least partially define a circumferential edge of an aperture that is arranged with respect to the optical component in the optical path of the holder.
