  • Publication number: 20170342558
    Abstract: A deposition method of a metallic carbon film as use as a hard mask during a semiconductor process is provided. In detail, in order to overcome an issue in terms of patterning due to low etch selectivity when a conventional amorphous carbon layer is used as a hard mask and an issue in that the hard mask is not easily removed after etching is performed, a metallic carbon film is formed via a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) method using a precursor containing metal and carbon to remarkably enhance etch selectivity, a grain size is reduced to amorphize the thin film so as to easily remove the hard mask after etching is performed, and relative contents of metal and carbon contained in the metallic carbon film are adjusted to remarkably lower overall internal stress of the metallic carbon film.
