Abstract
The sidewall current in SiO2 contact holes was measured by the method of on-wafer monitoring. Depending on the structure of the deposited fluorocarbon polymer, the sidewall current changed markedly. The fluorocarbon film deposited during the etching processes affected the charge accumulation in high-aspect-ratio contact holes. It was found that the highly cross-linked fluorocarbon film with many -C=C- bonds induces high sidewall current compared to the high-fluorine content polymer films.
