Question
Answer
Describe the Oxidation process   Individual atoms from surrounding environment penetrate the surface of the substrate and a thin layer is formed  
🗑
What temperatures do oxidation processes operate at?   700 degrees  
🗑
Oxidation depends on which rates?   Chemical reaction at the interface, & diffusion of the oxidant through existing oxide layer  
🗑
Types of Chemical Vapour Deposition?   Low Pressure CVD (LPCVD), Plasma Enhanced (PECVD)  
🗑
Physical Deposition (Sputtering)   atoms ejected from a solid due to bombardment, high pressure  
🗑
Physical Deposition (Evaporation)   Metal source heated to melting, atoms transported with the vapor to the substrate, 1nm/min  
🗑
Chemical Deposition Process   Reactant comes to surface, adsorption at surface, reaction, desorption, transport of by product  
🗑
LPCVD Benefits   Control unwanted gas-phase reactions, improve film uniformity,minimise diffusion effects  
🗑
LPCVD Downsides   Can take 3hrs for 15nm, only 3 mins for deposition but the rest for controlling temperature and pressure  
🗑
PECVD Benefits   Faster than LPCVD,Lower temps are good for components with low melting temp.  
🗑
PECVD Downsides   Film quality is not as good  
🗑
Stress in deposited films is caused by   Lattice mismatch, differences in thermal expansion coefficients  
🗑
Photolithography - Preperation before coating   Clean wafer, apply primer, rotate, soft bake, exposure and post bake  
🗑
Photolithography - Exposure Methods   Contact, Proximity, Projection  
🗑
Types of Etching   Physical (plasma etching), Chemical (wet etching)  
🗑
Wet etchant to remove Si isotropically   KOH or TMAH (tetra methyl amonium hydroxide)  
🗑
Wet etchant to remove SiN (but not Si or SiO2)   H3PO4  
🗑
Isotropically etch SiO2?   HF  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
