00:00:01 Harry also worked with Shockley right at the start, and he also got a phone call to bring him into the industry.
00:00:10 He says at that time he was actually, he realized he was actually a real chemist at the time, he was working in the oil industry in catalysis,
00:00:20 and actually knew a little bit about oxide semiconductors.
00:00:23 But he didn't really understand what was going on with these newfangled semiconductors.
00:00:28 But since then he's had a tremendous experience, he's got a connection right back to the start of the industry,
00:00:37 and he's going to talk to us here about both what he's seen in the past and the connection to chemistry going forward.
00:00:44 So in this case, the chemists can give a warm welcome to one of their own.
00:01:14 Wow. What do you do now?
00:01:25 In a good ballgame, it occurred to me that it's the function of the leadoff man to do only one thing.
00:01:38 And Pat did it eminently well, to get on base.
00:01:42 Would you say that Pat got on base?
00:01:46 In fact, he's advanced over to third, and if the pusher onward who comes up second is supposed to advance him,
00:02:02 what do you do when the leadoff man goes all the way around and scores?
00:02:06 There's nothing left for the second in line to do.
00:02:10 Not quite here.
00:02:13 My duty is a pleasurable one, a very pleasurable one.
00:02:18 And that is to introduce to you a little bit of some of the prehistoric events that occurred in my lifetime,
00:02:31 which if you realize, looking at Gordon's wonderful work, are advances in one person's lifetime, starting from essentially zero.
00:02:45 Are there very many things you can think of that have gone as far and as fast as they have in semiconductors in one person's lifetime?
00:02:55 Almost unbelievable.
00:02:57 Of course, you have to get a little older to make it a lifetime, so I sneak up on it over Pat by being a little older.
00:03:04 But I brought along one of the first pieces of work that I had to work on, and it's right here in my hand.
00:03:11 You may not recognize this.
00:03:14 This is a piece of silicon, single crystal, vintage about, I would say, 1960, maybe a little earlier.
00:03:26 It's all of three-quarters of an inch wide.
00:03:30 May I take this over and put it alongside of Pat Gelsink's wonderful wafer?
00:03:37 Look at it.
00:03:39 That's a single crystal.
00:03:41 This is a single crystal, 300 millimeters versus just a few.
00:03:48 We were very proud of this.
00:03:52 I know Gordon was when I first met him, and he showed me a few of these to work with.
00:03:58 My mission will be, that I've been assigned, is to take you back a little bit more prehistorically and try to at least show you examples of some of the things that happened by the guys that I would like to say today had to do the work.
00:04:21 Pat's work is brilliant, unbeatable.
00:04:25 They're the designers, and they lay out what has to be done to meet our goals.
00:04:34 But now, it's a very simple matter.
00:04:37 Gordon Moore would say, okay, you know where you have to go?
00:04:41 Go out and do it.
00:04:43 Just like that.
00:04:45 Or maybe Bob Noyce would have said that in the same way.
00:04:49 Clear shot.
00:04:50 Bob would do it.
00:04:51 Well, let's see what we had to do in the early days to begin with in order to get to where Pat has brought us in story today by Gordon's law.
00:05:06 Chemistry and Moore's law from Shockley Semiconductor to today.
00:05:13 Is this the one I just pushed?
00:05:15 I'll just turn it off, and I can sit down now.
00:05:23 Okay, right.
00:05:25 Gotcha.
00:05:26 See how prehistoric you can get.
00:05:32 My lifetime starts, in real work, starts with a search by a gentleman who made a call one afternoon and said,
00:05:40 would you like to consider some new work over that which you were doing?
00:05:46 What I was doing was process development at Emeryville, California at Shell Chemical.
00:05:52 I said, well, may I ask who is this, please?
00:05:58 He said, well, I'm William Shockley.
00:06:00 Do you know William Shockley?
00:06:02 I said, well, yes, I do, sir.
00:06:04 Yes, I do.
00:06:06 Took the pipe out of my mouth, probably, to say that.
00:06:08 Took the pipe out of my mouth, probably, to say that.
00:06:13 We discussed what he wanted to do, and it sounded something good to me.
00:06:19 I'd only heard about the fact that a semiconductor at that time, as I knew it, was a funny-looking little bright piece of catalyst called cuprous oxide, which is stuck in a tube.
00:06:31 When you ran propylene over it with oxygen, you got acrolein.
00:06:36 That little device did magnificent things, and when it died, it changed color.
00:06:42 When Shockley said, do you know what a semiconductor is?
00:06:45 I said, well, I think so.
00:06:47 He said, how do you know?
00:06:49 He always got to the bottom of the question.
00:06:51 I said, well, cuprous oxide is nothing like that.
00:06:54 Nothing like that.
00:06:56 Why don't you come and we'll talk this over?
00:06:58 Well, I did.
00:07:00 The results are almost obvious.
00:07:02 Here are my projects that I was assigned to when I first walked into the Shockley Laboratory.
00:07:09 I just made a quick list of them to see how would you feel as a chemist.
00:07:14 Would you recognize any of this?
00:07:17 Of course, I had a little help.
00:07:19 There was another chemist in the group, and that chemist, thank goodness, was Dr. Moore.
00:07:24 I quickly got introduced to him, and he told me a few of the problems that he was working on, none of which I understood.
00:07:31 He said, well, there's an apron.
00:07:36 I talked about this last night at the dinner.
00:07:38 There's an apron, there's a coat, there's a pair of gloves.
00:07:41 There's HF and nitric acid over in the corner.
00:07:44 Just learn how to use those, and as you go, we'll help you along.
00:07:48 The only trouble with that was, having a good chemist around, was that he and a group of others elected to disappear shortly after I met them.
00:07:57 They left the Shockley Laboratory.
00:07:58 I wondered, did I drive them away because of the nature of the chemistry that I was bringing in?
00:08:05 I don't think so.
00:08:07 There were many other reasons why this could happen.
00:08:10 Look at the projects.
00:08:12 I think you'd recognize some of them.
00:08:14 Wax evaporation.
00:08:16 Carnauba wax evaporation.
00:08:18 Why would you want to work on Carnauba wax evaporation?
00:08:21 First, to find a wax that would evaporate at a reasonable temperature under 200 degrees.
00:08:26 Carbon-carbon bonds don't like that.
00:08:31 The reason we wanted to use wax evaporation, just as an example, is because Dr. Shockley wanted it.
00:08:38 He wanted to take this little one-inch piece of silicon and rig it so that we could cut the wafers and then evaporate little dots of wax on them.
00:08:50 The little dots of wax would be the spots where you could etch the crystal into its individual little chips.
00:09:01 The conventional way of doing this was to take a piece of old dirty black wax produced from the bottom of some kettle that shelled chemical and melt it and put it on a wafer with a little point.
00:09:14 Those were the dots.
00:09:16 Shockley thought, this is archaic.
00:09:18 Why can't you evaporate wax?
00:09:20 You can evaporate aluminum and a lot of metals.
00:09:23 I worked on this project a very short time.
00:09:26 You can evaporate wax.
00:09:29 The handy-dandy way of doing it, the old way, was much faster, much cheaper, and much better because the wax would die.
00:09:38 Then you had to replace the crucible full of the crud that was in there before, which you couldn't get out of there anyway after heating it so long at 200 degrees centigrade.
00:09:47 We went on to other projects.
00:09:49 There were resist problems.
00:09:51 I was introduced to a new resist, a present resist called KPR, Kodak photoresist, magic, light sensitive.
00:10:02 You could make patterns with it.
00:10:04 The only thing you couldn't do very well with it is it wouldn't resist HF and nitric acid very long.
00:10:11 HF and nitric acid had a tendency to creep under the photoresist.
00:10:16 We learned a new problem in our science of this kind of chemistry called lifting.
00:10:23 That lifting problem, to answer the advanced question, exists to today.
00:10:29 We have lifting problems.
00:10:32 There's where the chemists come in to try to solve it.
00:10:35 You see, Pat did a beautiful job of describing this wonderful palette of advanced designs and chips and what we look forward to.
00:10:44 How are you going to get there if resist keeps lifting?
00:10:49 Today, the most common resist used in the semiconductor industry is a positive resist.
00:10:55 This is a negative one.
00:10:57 We won't go into those details.
00:10:59 We'll hear about that later.
00:11:01 It's very successful, but has the same problems.
00:11:03 There are still lifting problems.
00:11:05 Let's see.
00:11:07 What else can I say?
00:11:09 Furnace development.
00:11:10 I embarked on the design of a furnace for Dr. Shockley's request to use for the purposes of diffusion of elements into silicon.
00:11:22 I think when it ended up, it was about half the size of one of these tables that I show you here.
00:11:29 It was about three times or four times as large as it need be.
00:11:34 I never really finished the project, but furnace development was important.
00:11:38 We needed to have these high temperature, constant temperature zones.
00:11:42 Well, so forth.
00:11:44 Of course, the real chemistry came in when I had to talk to engineers about dumping trichloroethylene down a sink where you had just dumped a whole bunch of hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid together.
00:11:58 It's not a good thing to do.
00:12:01 If you're standing too close to it, you may not get away from it at all.
00:12:05 Safety procedures were consistent of rushing over to the shower or to the sink and washing your hands because they got exposed to HF or something like that.
00:12:17 We had to work on safety procedures, a very tough chemical problem.
00:12:21 You know what I mean by that.
00:12:23 It has to be done, and chemists do it.
00:12:25 Finally, reagent chemical procurement.
00:12:29 Let me tell you, I thought that the essence of chemistry was illustrated by the term CP, chemically pure.
00:12:38 If you got chemically pure chemicals in glass bottles, you had what you really needed, the essence, far from the truth.
00:12:47 That's where we in semiconductor had to start.
00:12:51 We couldn't use anything other than chemically pure because that's all that was available.
00:12:55 Now, how do you convince a large chemistry outfit like Monsanto at that time that you may get up to using one liter bottles per week of this very special doubly, triply purified CP chemical that we want?
00:13:15 They looked at us like we were crazy.
00:13:18 When you get to buying railroad car quantities, we'll sell you some.
00:13:22 It just didn't exist.
00:13:23 Chemists had a few problems to solve.
00:13:26 Finally, I worked on a problem that Dr. Shockley was very interested in.
00:13:36 That had to do with the processing of silicon four-layer diodes, a device which Dr. Shockley invented and thought that one day would replace every electronic relay in every telephone system of the world.
00:13:50 By having this one switching device which could do the job, just a two terminal device, very simple, made out of one of these little silicon dots.
00:14:00 The fact of the matter was it just couldn't be made because we couldn't meet the specifications consistently and constantly and reliably.
00:14:11 It was a wonderful idea, but it was a paper idea.
00:14:15 Dr. Shockley, I don't think, liked that idea very much.
00:14:20 But such is what it was.
00:14:24 Things went on.
00:14:29 Now, the story became interesting.
00:14:32 Shortly after this little batch of work, I left Shockley Laboratories because I was very nicely invited by some of my old friends, whose friendship I wanted to renew, namely Bob Noyce and Gordon Moore,
00:14:47 to come and work at Fairchild.
00:14:51 Let me tell you, as a chemist, that was a beautiful explosion of light and sound and new things.
00:15:01 This is the first planar transistor, which starts at the bottom of Gordon Moore's curve, probably right at the intersection of zero, zero.
00:15:11 If you haven't seen this or heard about it, here is the invention by Jean Herny, one of our colleagues, both at Shockley and at Fairchild later.
00:15:22 It's a small chip made of silicon, of the very same silicon I just showed you right here.
00:15:32 It's made such that its junctions, PN junctions, fall underneath the protective oxide layer of silicon dioxide on top of silicon.
00:15:44 Let me tell you, the success of the integrated circuit industry is due to that wonderful, wonderful material that grows naturally on silicon and its silicon dioxide.
00:15:58 That's the world that we've been talking about.
00:16:01 If we didn't have that and we had only, say, germanium, for example, we would not even be close to where we are today.
00:16:10 I worked on this for all of two years.
00:16:13 Just when it was getting to be fun, in his inimitable fashion, Bob Noyce came running into our home one afternoon and said,
00:16:23 Cello, enough of what you've been doing. We need you to go to Italy.
00:16:28 Are you willing to go? What do you say?
00:16:33 Of course, with all kinds of quaking knees, but to do what?
00:16:39 We've just formed an alliance with a company called Società Generale Semiconduttori, SGS.
00:16:46 We're a partner now with Olivetti and Telletra, an instrument company.
00:16:52 Fairchild is now a third member in that triumvirate.
00:16:57 We're going to introduce silicon transistors into Europe because they're not making them at SGS and they would like to.
00:17:06 They are now making germanium devices.
00:17:09 I had never even barely heard of germanium, let alone seen it.
00:17:13 When I got to SGS, I'll summarize in one sentence.
00:17:18 They had something like, at that time, a million dollars worth of inventory of point contact diodes and simple junction transistors made out of germanium.
00:17:30 They were all unreliable.
00:17:33 They did not stand up to the rigorous treatment of life testing in the user's hands because germanium has problems.
00:17:43 The surface is sensitive. There is no protective, wonderful oxalide like there is in silicon.
00:17:50 Germanium went the way of the buggy whip and all of the old obsolete things.
00:17:57 We replaced that at SGS.
00:18:00 I was the operations manager at that point, manufacturing, at that time, assembling these devices.
00:18:08 SGS became very successful at it.
00:18:12 It was a point of entry into the market for Europe for Fairchild, who was then a new company trying to really grow into its market.
00:18:19 You've seen this one very recently.
00:18:28 Pat has that same picture.
00:18:31 I'll just repeat the story.
00:18:35 This is the first planar silicon integrated circuit.
00:18:40 It's a flip-flop.
00:18:43 It's one which was invented, by the way, by Bob Noyce.
00:18:48 To illustrate Bob Noyce's personality, I once asked him,
00:18:52 Bob, why didn't we copyright the name planar?
00:18:58 Such a thing became stupendous in the industry.
00:19:01 Everybody wanted to use it.
00:19:03 Bob said, no need.
00:19:05 They're all going to get to use it anyway.
00:19:07 Why don't we just encourage everyone to think planar?
00:19:10 We don't have to copyright it.
00:19:12 We've got the patent on the project anyway, on the device itself.
00:19:17 The royalties that one gets for this.
00:19:20 The planar name is free to be used by anyone.
00:19:23 That was Bob Noyce.
00:19:25 Very easy.
00:19:27 No problem.
00:19:29 We do it that way.
00:19:31 You'll notice that this is a circular chip, not a rectangular chip.
00:19:34 Of course, if you listen to my little story about drops of wax, this is why it's round.
00:19:44 You put a wax chip on top of an integrated circuit that you've completed on a wafer.
00:19:49 Then, instead of doing the modern way, which is to scribe and break that chip into rectangles,
00:19:57 you simply just etch your way around it.
00:19:59 You may get a circular chip because that's the pattern of wax that lays on it.
00:20:05 Well, you can see that whoever did this one, it wasn't me.
00:20:09 I doubt if it was Gordon.
00:20:10 It might have been some engineer who knew the designs beautifully, but didn't understand the chemistry.
00:20:17 You'll notice that it's missing a couple of pads, these bright rectangular pads up in the upper corner.
00:20:26 The reason those pads are missing is because the wax lifted.
00:20:32 We can't tolerate that kind of stuff, but we did in this particular instance.
00:20:37 It was early on in our existence.
00:20:38 However, things got better.
00:20:41 I would like to direct your attention to not the tail of the beautifully expanding curve of billions of transistors per chip,
00:20:54 but direct it down to the other end, close to zero.
00:20:58 This is a family of integrated circuits.
00:21:01 You'll recognize that we made it fair child in the period of 59 to 67, as shown.
00:21:06 You'll notice our little friend up there in the upper left-hand corner is the planar transistor.
00:21:12 Then you have a string of other chips.
00:21:15 These chips—I tried this at home, and if I did it right, counting the elements—
00:21:21 these chips plot out very beautifully at the beginning of Moore's curve.
00:21:28 Pats started in 1970, so we didn't look into what happened before 1970, but thank you for leaving us the space.
00:21:37 These plot right in very nicely according to the number of components right on the curve.
00:21:44 By the way, for your information, that big monstrous chip in the lower right-hand corner
00:21:52 had a total of 128 transistors on one chip.
00:21:58 It wouldn't even be a piece of a decimal point on anything we talk about today, 128 chips.
00:22:06 Not only that, it was with two layers of interconnected metal,
00:22:11 two layers of aluminum on top of the silicon and one on top of the silicon oxide on top of that.
00:22:18 We have here the real initiation of Gordon's curve.
00:22:27 Later, of course, when the work was published,
00:22:32 these came out to illustrate the beginnings of Moore's law,
00:22:37 which Gordon so brilliantly defined back in that period.
00:22:42 Well, pushing along, how do you describe, other than my little anecdotes,
00:22:50 what a chemist will do in silicon manufacture, even up to today?
00:22:58 Well, I have to take a rather narrow-minded, selfish view of it.
00:23:03 I have to say, you guys, you design them, we'll make them.
00:23:08 Well, there's a lot betwixt cup and lip on that one.
00:23:13 The designs only result when the design rules are put into them properly,
00:23:20 and the design rules result from what chemists and the few brilliant physicists
00:23:27 who understand chemistry can work with this in order to design those devices.
00:23:34 I'll show you a couple of the limitations,
00:23:38 just by examples of what we succeeded to do at Fairchild.
00:23:44 I was very fortunate at the work in SGS in Italy because I loved it.
00:23:51 I like working with all these wonderful Italian engineers, but I missed home.
00:23:57 I really did.
00:23:58 I was tired of trying to explain to a group of engineers
00:24:02 just what the meaning of teamwork is,
00:24:06 because every time I talked about teamwork, I got the answer back,
00:24:10 well, if we solve the problem, who gets the credit?
00:24:12 I said, the team.
00:24:14 But we have six people on this team.
00:24:16 Who's going to get the credit?
00:24:18 I said, don't worry about it.
00:24:20 You'll get the credit.
00:24:22 All of you will get the credit.
00:24:24 Well, that didn't wash.
00:24:25 It made me react to Gordon's invitation once again very happily
00:24:31 when he said, look, we've just really reorganized
00:24:34 and really started up our R&D department at Fairchild.
00:24:39 I want you to come back and become the department head of materials and processes,
00:24:44 stuff that you really should know a little bit about already.
00:24:48 We'll work a department with senior chemists, senior scientists,
00:24:56 experienced ones, and we had about 20 in our group at that time,
00:25:00 plus a lot of assistance to them.
00:25:06 We all have two missions, as he explained.
00:25:10 I remember these vividly.
00:25:11 One mission is you're going to develop and improve our existing processes,
00:25:19 develop new ones, and improve our processes.
00:25:23 The second mission will be one that I didn't quite appreciate,
00:25:28 but Gordon saw so far ahead that it really was becoming true.
00:25:33 He said, the other part of your missions is that your senior scientists
00:25:38 are expected to go to work in the factory
00:25:41 and go to work in production.
00:25:43 Whenever there's a problem of something to do with making these devices
00:25:48 that the engineers, as sharp as they are in the factory, can't work with,
00:25:53 I want your guys to stop what they're doing,
00:25:56 and he made that very patently clear,
00:25:58 and get out there and go to work with them.
00:26:01 Process, handle wafers with them,
00:26:04 stick them into one end of the furnace and take them out of the other.
00:26:07 Work with the resist and all of that.
00:26:08 Now, I don't know if you have a full appreciation of the comment,
00:26:13 without running into the problem,
00:26:15 of telling a senior Ph.D. that he has to stop his research project
00:26:21 and go out and work in the factory on a plebeian problem,
00:26:24 that he comes back and says,
00:26:26 well, those guys, those production people don't know what they're doing.
00:26:30 They're mucking everything up, and it's a mess.
00:26:33 Get them out of there. Do something with it.
00:26:35 Well, that is not the proper attitude
00:26:38 for what we called at that time a type of sustaining engineering.
00:26:42 We expected our Ph.D.s to pick up wafers
00:26:47 and hand-carry them through the existing processes
00:26:51 to prove that everything can be done.
00:26:54 One of them uncovered a fresh new man.
00:27:00 I can't say he was an engineer or a chemist.
00:27:02 I mean, you don't know, so I don't want to accuse either one.
00:27:05 He was processing what looked like a bunch of brightly colored wafers.
00:27:11 I was called over by Bill Shepard, who was doing the job.
00:27:18 He said, guess what I found?
00:27:21 They're processing two colors of silicon.
00:27:24 I said, what do you mean two colors of silicon?
00:27:26 It's got oxide on it,
00:27:28 and oxide comes in various transparencies, et cetera, et cetera.
00:27:32 Well, this young chap, scientist, whatever you want to call him,
00:27:37 production man, had gone to Sears and gotten two cans of paint,
00:27:41 one red, one green.
00:27:43 He divided his batch of wafers,
00:27:46 which was about at that time something like 50 slices,
00:27:50 and he had painted one batch red and one batch green,
00:27:54 and when the paint sufficiently dried,
00:27:56 he washed it, and he put them through the furnace.
00:28:00 I said, why is he doing that?
00:28:02 I asked him, all three of us, why are you doing this?
00:28:06 Well, they asked us, they being the managers at the factory,
00:28:10 asked us to identify the wafers.
00:28:13 We want to know by code from which batch of wafers the highest yields came,
00:28:18 and we want to be able to have wafer history.
00:28:22 Well, this guy had a brilliant idea.
00:28:23 Of course, mark them.
00:28:25 So he painted them.
00:28:27 Well, of course, to some chemists in the crowd,
00:28:30 and even to some engineers,
00:28:32 even Pat Gelsinger would not have permitted that kind of thing,
00:28:36 or especially Pat wouldn't have committed that kind of thing.
00:28:39 Forgive me, Pat.
00:28:41 But there was no knowledge at the working level
00:28:47 of bachelor's level, master's level technicians
00:28:50 to exactly what was going on.
00:28:54 So it was a problem of the senior scientists
00:28:58 who came in there and just went through,
00:29:00 and they stopped all the furnaces,
00:29:02 and we spent days helping them clean up the affair.
00:29:05 This was a gross mistake, but there were many like that.
00:29:09 I want to jump ahead and show you three examples
00:29:13 of the types of projects that our senior scientists were working on
00:29:17 that were needed in the industry.
00:29:18 This is, as you see at the bottom here,
00:29:24 if I push the right one, shouldn't I get a pointer?
00:29:27 Well, at the very bottom, there it is.
00:29:29 I'm wiggling you too fast.
00:29:31 At the very bottom is a dual inline package.
00:29:35 It's a package which is composed of two level,
00:29:38 two pieces of ceramic like a sandwich.
00:29:40 Sandwich in between is a frame
00:29:42 which holds the integrated circuit at that period.
00:29:45 This one is a very small one.
00:29:46 It has 14 leads on it, seven on each side.
00:29:50 That package was invented at Fairchild,
00:29:54 and it was revolutionary at the time it was invented.
00:29:58 Memory products, microprocessors
00:30:00 were put into dual inline packages.
00:30:02 Others were invented.
00:30:04 At the top is little glock tops we used to call them,
00:30:10 little round beads of epoxy
00:30:12 which were put onto ceramic pieces,
00:30:14 and transistors were encapsulated
00:30:16 in them for only one reason.
00:30:18 That was to make something
00:30:20 that would cost under two cents a piece.
00:30:23 If we could do that,
00:30:25 we could sell it all the way
00:30:27 through the entertainment industry.
00:30:29 We asked Ralph Oldberg at that time,
00:30:31 bless his heart.
00:30:33 Also, he used to work at Shell Development.
00:30:35 Ralph came down, took a job,
00:30:37 and he took on the job of making
00:30:39 what we called the glock tops,
00:30:41 those little black beads up in the upper center of the lot.
00:30:45 The other products are also packages
00:30:47 worked on by the chemists
00:30:51 and the related ceramicists
00:30:54 or materials engineers
00:30:56 who are sort of half chemists in our group.
00:31:02 This was one of the most fascinating problems
00:31:06 found in our history.
00:31:09 It was called the electromigration of aluminum.
00:31:14 Aluminum is a wonderful metal,
00:31:17 and it revolutionized the industry
00:31:21 by allowing us to make complex integrated circuits
00:31:24 using aluminum as a conducting path.
00:31:27 When you look through an electron microscope
00:31:30 at 1500 magnification,
00:31:32 at a strip of aluminum conducting electricity on a chip,
00:31:35 you see this kind of strip.
00:31:38 It had a problem, however.
00:31:40 Under the influence of the flow of electrons
00:31:42 from left to right,
00:31:44 as they want to flow on a strip,
00:31:47 they caused, at high densities of current,
00:31:51 they caused voids at one end
00:31:53 and pills at the other end.
00:31:56 The aluminum was fluid.
00:31:58 It became crystalline.
00:32:00 The crystals moved.
00:32:02 That was a basic design characteristic
00:32:05 which we uncovered at Fairchild,
00:32:07 reported for the first time
00:32:09 as a reliability problem.
00:32:11 It was a basic nature of aluminum.
00:32:14 Today, there are still those same design rules
00:32:19 and those wonderfully complex structures
00:32:22 that Pat described.
00:32:24 Let me pick up the pace here a moment.
00:32:27 This was a tremendous, wonderful example
00:32:31 of the problem in the industry
00:32:33 worked on by Dr. Deal, Grove,
00:32:37 myself, Ed Snow, and others.
00:32:42 The problem, if I can get through this in time,
00:32:45 will illustrate itself.
00:32:47 At this time in industry,
00:32:49 we were making MOS transistors
00:32:51 and MOS integrated circuits.
00:32:53 They had a problem of instability.
00:32:56 You could apply a voltage to them
00:32:58 and where the voltage was supposed to stay,
00:33:00 it drifted.
00:33:02 Why did they drift?
00:33:03 They had here something like
00:33:06 seven or eight different explanations
00:33:09 of why of the same problem
00:33:11 which all others had seen in the industry.
00:33:14 They were walking around
00:33:16 like blind men exploring an elephant.
00:33:18 What are the reasons
00:33:20 why these MOS devices drifted
00:33:23 all the way from BTL at Baird
00:33:27 on the left-hand side
00:33:29 who said,
00:33:30 whatever that was, he didn't explain.
00:33:32 Up in the right-hand side,
00:33:36 we had Shockley and Hooper.
00:33:38 In the latter years of Shockley's work,
00:33:40 he said, well, they're due to surface ions.
00:33:42 Well, he was close.
00:33:44 We had several other theories,
00:33:46 oxygen vacancies,
00:33:48 Lindmeier at Sprague on the right-hand side,
00:33:50 there's a heterojunction being formed there
00:33:52 and this heterojunction is leaky
00:33:54 and therefore we have to clean that up.
00:33:56 The answer lay with those wonderful chemists
00:33:58 who worked with Snow, Grove and Diehl,
00:34:02 two of them chemists themselves,
00:34:05 and defined that we had a simple problem.
00:34:08 The devices were not clean enough.
00:34:10 They were susceptible to being contaminated
00:34:14 by odd garden variety sodium and potassium ions.
00:34:19 How to get that out of there?
00:34:21 Well, we worked out the process at Fairchild
00:34:23 and we made a unit
00:34:25 which we called planar two processing
00:34:29 sort of for an advertising gimmick
00:34:31 and we published the fact
00:34:34 that alkali-free processing in this ad
00:34:38 and of course the scientific establishment,
00:34:41 our own scientific establishment
00:34:43 said another one of these baloney types of ads
00:34:47 that semiconductor companies are putting out all the time
00:34:50 about what they can do,
00:34:52 but it was exactly the answer
00:34:53 that we gave to a conclave at Allentown to BTL
00:34:57 to explain to them
00:34:59 why we were making stable MOS devices
00:35:03 where others couldn't.
00:35:05 We just simply cleaned them up.
00:35:07 Planar two processing
00:35:10 and that was a move forward
00:35:12 that extended our capability
00:35:14 into the design area
00:35:17 and to this day
00:35:19 that factor has to be taken into consideration.
00:35:22 Well, that's the end of the story sort of.
00:35:26 That was the work of the chemists at Fairchild.
00:35:31 Unfortunately, some sad things happened.
00:35:34 Both Bob Noyce and Gordon Moore
00:35:36 for their own good reasons
00:35:38 left Fairchild to form Intel.
00:35:40 Thank goodness they succeeded.
00:35:43 There were a raft of companies.
00:35:45 I counted over 150
00:35:47 in the first two years after they left Fairchild
00:35:49 150 that were formed in the valley
00:35:52 where we live and work.
00:35:54 We lost men.
00:35:56 LEGO was going out of style
00:35:58 to those new companies, to new jobs.
00:36:01 It was an extremely fluid time.
00:36:03 I was assigned to a new job
00:36:06 called Director of International Technology
00:36:09 and my job was to take our technology wherever we could
00:36:13 and plant it in a foreign country by an alliance
00:36:17 by which we could
00:36:20 penetrate the marketplace.
00:36:23 We had a very successful result
00:36:26 in the country of Hungary
00:36:28 with the Tungzum Company
00:36:30 where we wrote a 10-year contract
00:36:32 which was very profitable to Fairchild
00:36:34 which I succeeded in negotiating.
00:36:37 I only say that because of all the pain
00:36:40 that occurred at the time.
00:36:42 It was a thought that said for the future
00:36:45 if we want to get into marketplaces
00:36:47 we should not sell our technology
00:36:49 we should sell it for market share.
00:36:52 That is the vital project
00:36:54 that we need to do even today.
00:36:56 One word about the future
00:36:59 if I may just leak over a little bit.
00:37:02 It's only just beginning for the chemists.
00:37:06 The sort of thing that Pat talked about
00:37:09 should be a challenge to chemists
00:37:12 that they never saw before.
00:37:14 This is where it will lie.
00:37:16 Carbon nanotubes have a tremendous application
00:37:20 to semiconductor work
00:37:22 but it's going to take some chemists
00:37:24 along with the design engineers
00:37:26 bless their hearts.
00:37:28 It will take some chemists to define
00:37:30 how the heck can we make carbon nanotubes
00:37:32 into the proper conducting paths
00:37:34 and even semiconducting paths
00:37:36 for use in devices.
00:37:38 Down to LED technology.
00:37:40 We said only a word about that.
00:37:43 Light emitting devices
00:37:48 are devices that we never really worked on
00:37:52 in our past in silicon work
00:37:54 because they just weren't applicable
00:37:56 to the applications that exist today.
00:37:59 Today we're talking about organic
00:38:01 light emitting devices.
00:38:03 OLEDs and LEDs.
00:38:05 It's going to take chemists
00:38:07 to try to figure out
00:38:09 how do you take an organic molecule
00:38:10 like a phenolic chain
00:38:12 and stick it between two gold electrodes
00:38:14 and have it do a semiconducting job
00:38:17 and emit light at the same time.
00:38:19 We have quite a future for chemists
00:38:21 in our industry
00:38:23 and we're looking forward to it.
00:38:25 Thank you.
00:38:26 Thank you.
00:38:38 We have a 20-minute break now.
00:38:41 Maybe it's a 15-minute break.
00:38:43 If there's one burning question,
00:38:46 I will take it.
00:38:48 Otherwise, I suggest that you catch Harry
00:38:50 during the break.
00:38:52 I'd like to thank him again.
00:38:54 It was great to see.
00:38:56 It's great to see how so few people
00:38:58 can change the world.
00:39:00 There's just a connection
00:39:02 between a few key people
00:39:04 that really did it.
00:39:06 Thanks.
00:39:08 Thank you.
00:39:10 Thanks, John.
00:39:12 I kind of ran over there.
00:39:14 I got a little hung up in Shockley.
00:39:16 Sorry about that.
00:39:18 He was a guy that could wind you up too.
00:39:20 Does that seem...
00:39:30 Well, this morning,
00:39:32 we heard two very nice presentations
00:39:34 talking about the history
00:39:36 of Moore's Law,
00:39:38 talking about the extrapolation
00:39:40 of Moore's Law,
00:39:42 and talking about some of the problems
00:39:44 involved in processing
00:39:46 of microelectronic devices.
00:39:47 We're going to shift gears
00:39:49 just a little bit now,
00:39:51 and the next two talks
00:39:53 will deal with materials
00:39:55 and chemicals involved
00:39:57 in these processes.
00:39:59 So I have the pleasant task
00:40:01 of introducing Dr. Elsa Reichmanis.
00:40:03 As Elsa completed her PhD,
00:40:05 she had to decide
00:40:07 whether she would embark
00:40:09 on an academic career
00:40:11 or an industrial career.
00:40:13 Unfortunately for academia,
00:40:15 she chose the industrial route
00:40:17 to Bell Laboratories.
00:40:19 Her decision
00:40:21 to go into industrial research
00:40:23 was really based on her interest
00:40:25 in performing some research
00:40:27 that really mattered
00:40:29 and would have some clear applications,
00:40:31 would make a difference
00:40:33 in the world that she lived in.
00:40:35 Her investigations
00:40:37 into photoresist materials,
00:40:39 electronic paper,
00:40:41 and organic materials
00:40:43 for telecommunications
00:40:45 has certainly indicated
00:40:47 that she would be a good fit
00:40:49 for the postdoctoral program.
00:40:51 She earned her Ph.D.
00:40:53 and Ph.D. degrees
00:40:55 in chemistry from Syracuse University,
00:40:57 remained there for a few years
00:40:59 as a postdoc,
00:41:01 and then joined Bell Laboratories
00:41:03 in 1978,
00:41:05 and she's currently
00:41:07 Director of the Materials
00:41:09 Research Laboratory there.
00:41:11 There have been a number
00:41:13 of awards and recognitions
00:41:15 that Elsa has received.
00:41:17 For example,
00:41:19 she was awarded the
00:41:21 Nobel Peace Prize
00:41:23 and the Nobel Peace Prize
00:41:25 and the Nobel Peace Medal.
00:41:27 She's a member of the
00:41:29 National Academy of Engineering.
00:41:31 She also served as president
00:41:33 of the American Chemical Society
00:41:35 in 2003.
00:41:37 So I'm very pleased
00:41:39 to present Elsa Reichmanis,
00:41:41 who will present her talk
00:41:43 Resists Yesterday, Today,
00:41:45 Tomorrow.
00:41:47 It does work.
00:41:49 Every once in a while
00:41:51 I get technology challenged
00:41:53 with the projectors,
00:41:55 so hopefully I won't
00:41:57 inadvertently shut this off.
00:41:59 It's an honor for me
00:42:01 to be here first,
00:42:03 and this morning's presentations
00:42:05 are truly a tough act to follow.
00:42:07 What I'd like to do
00:42:09 is present a little bit
00:42:11 of a perspective
00:42:13 of where chemistry plays a role,
00:42:15 and this will be getting
00:42:17 a little bit more
00:42:19 chemical-oriented,
00:42:21 and really talking fundamentally
00:42:23 about the technology
00:42:25 that's used to pattern
00:42:27 integrated circuits today.
00:42:29 So it's really
00:42:31 the resist part,
00:42:33 the goop that is laid down
00:42:35 on silicon wafers
00:42:37 that leads to patterns
00:42:39 that are increasingly smaller.
00:42:41 And I think it's largely
00:42:43 the materials,
00:42:45 the chemistry,
00:42:47 that have allowed
00:42:49 integrated circuits
00:42:51 to go from the initial
00:42:53 single crystal transistor
00:42:55 that was invented at Bell Labs
00:42:57 now over 50 years ago,
00:42:59 from something which is
00:43:01 really a few inches in size
00:43:03 to devices where transistors
00:43:05 on this eight-inch silicon wafer
00:43:07 are on the order
00:43:09 of hundreds of nanometers,
00:43:11 100 nanometers.
00:43:13 Putting that size scale
00:43:15 in perspective,
00:43:16 we're getting a photoresist
00:43:18 in comparison
00:43:20 to an E. coli bacterium cell,
00:43:22 which is about one micron
00:43:24 by five microns across.
00:43:26 And a human hair
00:43:28 is approximately
00:43:30 100 microns in diameter.
00:43:32 So we're getting
00:43:34 really, really small,
00:43:36 and the size of those features
00:43:38 is shrinking even more
00:43:40 where we're talking about
00:43:42 truly nanometer-scale
00:43:44 transistor devices.
00:43:46 We're getting millions of these
00:43:48 into a single IC chip.
00:43:51 And what I won't be talking about
00:43:53 are efforts also concurrent
00:43:56 that are sort of going
00:43:58 larger in size,
00:44:00 where these are now
00:44:02 all organic or plastic
00:44:04 electronic devices,
00:44:06 where we're now looking
00:44:08 at printing large features
00:44:10 on very flexible plastic
00:44:12 substrates to allow
00:44:14 high-throughput,
00:44:15 where large material
00:44:17 is going to replace
00:44:19 sort of traditional
00:44:21 silicon-based semiconductor technology.
00:44:23 What they might do
00:44:25 is enable new technologies
00:44:27 and something different,
00:44:29 something silicon can't do.
00:44:31 But let's focus on
00:44:33 the silicon side
00:44:35 resists and lithography.
00:44:37 Certainly the driver
00:44:39 for getting from this
00:44:41 multi-inch
00:44:43 single crystal
00:44:45 to nanometer-scale devices
00:44:47 has been cost.
00:44:49 I like this particular
00:44:51 insert that came from Siemens
00:44:53 that really puts the cost
00:44:55 of a megabit of information
00:44:57 in perspective,
00:44:59 where in 1973
00:45:01 the cost of that information
00:45:03 was about equivalent
00:45:05 to the cost of buying
00:45:07 a house in Germany
00:45:09 or 150,000 Deutschmarks.
00:45:11 By the mid-1990s,
00:45:13 the cost of that same
00:45:15 number of Deutschmarks
00:45:17 and we've continued
00:45:19 to decrease in cost.
00:45:21 This looks at it another way,
00:45:23 where again,
00:45:25 we've got Moore's Law
00:45:27 where we're seeing
00:45:29 a doubling of transistors
00:45:31 approximately every 18 months
00:45:33 to two years.
00:45:35 And that's been enabled
00:45:37 by a number of elements,
00:45:39 feature size,
00:45:41 increase in wafer size,
00:45:43 certainly yield improvements
00:45:45 over time.
00:45:47 Orthography is a process
00:45:49 where we take
00:45:51 this silicon wafer,
00:45:53 now 300 millimeters across,
00:45:55 12 inches,
00:45:57 the size of a small pizza,
00:45:59 coat it with a resist,
00:46:01 and it's typically
00:46:03 a photoactive polymer-based material,
00:46:05 expose that resist
00:46:07 with a pattern,
00:46:09 develop that material
00:46:11 in a suitable developer,
00:46:13 transfer the pattern
00:46:15 to a substrate,
00:46:17 and then continue
00:46:19 to coat layers of the device
00:46:21 onto that substrate.
00:46:23 How do we do that lithography?
00:46:25 Certainly traditionally
00:46:27 we've been using photolithography
00:46:29 where we've seen a reduction
00:46:31 in the wavelength of light
00:46:33 that's been used over the years.
00:46:35 What we're also seeing
00:46:37 is that if we look
00:46:39 at the theoretical resolution limit
00:46:41 based on enhancement technologies,
00:46:43 we're seeing a drastic difference
00:46:45 in the perspective
00:46:47 of what that theoretical resolution limit
00:46:49 is going to be,
00:46:51 where what we heard this morning
00:46:53 is that we're printing images
00:46:55 that are about a quarter
00:46:57 of the size of the wavelength of light
00:46:59 that we're actually using
00:47:01 to image the resist.
00:47:03 We're really seeing
00:47:05 a drastic reduction
00:47:07 in the exposure wavelength,
00:47:09 a drastic reduction
00:47:11 in the technology
00:47:13 that's used to fabricate
00:47:15 those images.
00:47:17 The wafer tool costs
00:47:19 are increasing
00:47:21 rather dramatically,
00:47:23 but what is also interesting
00:47:25 is that as we heard this morning
00:47:27 is even with this
00:47:29 increase in lithography cost,
00:47:31 the cost of the individual devices
00:47:33 is not going up astronomically.
00:47:35 It's going to be interesting
00:47:37 to see where the technology goes
00:47:39 and where ultimately
00:47:41 we're going to end up.
00:47:43 Advances in the technology
00:47:45 are being driven
00:47:47 by the Semiconductor Industry Association,
00:47:49 a group of companies
00:47:51 interested in the industry
00:47:53 get together
00:47:55 and think about options.
00:47:57 What are the problems
00:47:59 that need to be solved
00:48:01 near-term, long-term?
00:48:03 Where are innovations needed?
00:48:05 Where do we need true invention
00:48:07 where we need
00:48:09 a revolutionary change
00:48:11 in how we're doing things?
00:48:13 When we look at lithography
00:48:15 currently we're looking at
00:48:17 lithographic technologies,
00:48:19 we're looking at photoresist materials,
00:48:21 optical enhancement technologies.
00:48:24 How can we get this resolution limit
00:48:27 for optical lithography
00:48:29 still lower?
00:48:31 How do we integrate
00:48:33 the various enhancements
00:48:35 in order to more effectively
00:48:37 fabricate
00:48:39 the devices that we're interested in?
00:48:41 We're looking at new
00:48:43 future lithographic technologies
00:48:45 whether it's 157 nanometer imaging,
00:48:48 EUV, projection E-beam,
00:48:50 X-ray, maskless approaches,
00:48:52 and also other
00:48:54 quote-unquote novel ideas.
00:48:56 When we're developing
00:48:59 a resist technology
00:49:01 and a lithographic technology,
00:49:03 while chemistry plays
00:49:05 a very important role,
00:49:07 chemistry can't do it alone.
00:49:09 We really need to be very interactive
00:49:11 working with process engineers,
00:49:13 working with device designers,
00:49:15 working with tool designers
00:49:17 in order to be able to develop materials
00:49:19 that are really going to be effective
00:49:21 for device fabrication
00:49:23 within the current environment.
00:49:25 Some of the things we need to address
00:49:27 are the radiation response.
00:49:29 Is the material going to be sufficiently sensitive
00:49:32 to be able to have
00:49:34 a sufficient throughput through a tool?
00:49:36 Is it going to respond
00:49:38 to incident or radiation?
00:49:40 What's the contrast
00:49:42 of that material going to be?
00:49:43 Are we going to be able to get
00:49:45 a sufficiently high resolution image?
00:49:47 What is that resolution?
00:49:50 What sort of line width control do we need
00:49:52 when we're printing that image
00:49:54 and transferring it into the substrate?
00:49:56 In terms of defect densities,
00:49:58 what's tolerable?
00:50:00 Today, we basically don't want any defects
00:50:02 across this pizza pie wafer.
00:50:05 What's the etching resistance
00:50:07 of those materials?
00:50:09 Is the resist going to withstand
00:50:11 the pattern transfer processes
00:50:13 of transferring that resist image
00:50:16 into the device substrate?
00:50:18 Then there are other little things
00:50:20 that we need to worry about like adhesion.
00:50:22 The stuff has to stick
00:50:24 or we're not going to get any kind of a yield.
00:50:26 The resist itself
00:50:28 has to be the same.
00:50:30 We have to worry about the supply.
00:50:32 We have to worry about the quality assurance.
00:50:34 Every time we get a new batch of material,
00:50:37 it's got to behave exactly the same way
00:50:40 because without that,
00:50:41 we're not going to have a reliable process.
00:50:44 It's got to stay around
00:50:46 for some reasonable period of time
00:50:48 without changing to something else
00:50:50 so that we, again,
00:50:52 have a reasonable process.
00:50:54 It's got to be sufficiently low cost
00:50:56 to make it worthwhile.
00:51:02 Looking at the evolution
00:51:04 of resist materials,
00:51:06 I'm starting here in 1970
00:51:08 or in that time frame
00:51:09 which was the transition point
00:51:11 of going from the negative resists
00:51:13 that we heard about this morning
00:51:15 to positive tone resists.
00:51:17 The first positive tone resist
00:51:19 was a Novolac-based material.
00:51:21 These are basically
00:51:23 what form conventional photoresists.
00:51:26 It was introduced for proximity printing
00:51:28 of 10-micron design rule devices.
00:51:32 Within about a decade,
00:51:34 G-line lithography
00:51:36 using photoresist
00:51:37 and G-line lithography
00:51:39 using 436-nanometer light
00:51:42 began to dominate
00:51:44 and Novolac resists
00:51:46 were continuing to dominate
00:51:48 fabrication lines.
00:51:50 It was at about this time
00:51:52 that deep UV resist materials research
00:51:54 was initiated
00:51:56 where deep UV at the time
00:51:58 was using a mercury lamp
00:52:00 with wavelengths of anywhere
00:52:02 from about 220 out to 250 nanometers.
00:52:04 At this time,
00:52:05 it was thought that optical lithography
00:52:07 and this is about
00:52:09 when I joined Bell Labs
00:52:11 that optical lithography
00:52:13 was going to hit a roadblock
00:52:15 when we got to about
00:52:17 2-micron design rule devices
00:52:19 that we're never going to be able
00:52:21 to use conventional resists
00:52:23 and conventional lithographic processes
00:52:25 to get smaller than
00:52:27 somewhere between a micron
00:52:29 and 2-micron size devices.
00:52:31 At that time,
00:52:32 there was interest in
00:52:33 two different lithographic options
00:52:35 one of which was
00:52:37 reducing the wavelength of light
00:52:39 that you're using to the UV range.
00:52:41 All right, what are the chemistries?
00:52:43 This shows conventional photoresist chemistry
00:52:45 in Novolac resin
00:52:47 that's soluble in an aqueous-based developer.
00:52:49 You add to it
00:52:51 anethoquinone dizide
00:52:53 as a dissolution inhibitor.
00:52:55 This combined material
00:52:57 is insoluble in aqueous-based,
00:52:59 shine light on it
00:53:01 in a pattern-wise manner.
00:53:03 It's converted to an indene carboxylic acid,
00:53:05 base-soluble polymer,
00:53:07 base-soluble product.
00:53:09 You can develop an image.
00:53:11 So you coat the goop
00:53:13 to resist onto the silicon wafer,
00:53:15 expose it, and develop it.
00:53:17 You get a nice image.
00:53:19 All right, well,
00:53:21 you can't use this
00:53:23 if you're going down to UV wavelengths
00:53:25 because of the aromatic materials,
00:53:27 benzene rings, naphthalene, et cetera,
00:53:29 are too absorbent.
00:53:31 If you now try to use this material
00:53:33 at 220 to 250 nanometer exposure,
00:53:35 you're going to get
00:53:37 all the light absorbed
00:53:39 at this resist-air interface.
00:53:41 You're not going to get
00:53:43 the reaction chemistry occurring
00:53:45 through the thickness of the film,
00:53:47 so you're not going to get
00:53:49 this nice, clean profile.
00:53:51 All right, so we were looking
00:53:53 at some early approaches
00:53:55 to short-wavelength resists.
00:53:57 This is work from IBM and Grant Wilson
00:53:59 where he looked at naldrin's acid
00:54:01 as a dissolution inhibitor.
00:54:04 It was nice,
00:54:06 but not appropriate
00:54:08 for a manufacturing line
00:54:10 just that it was too slow.
00:54:12 It involved a single-photon process.
00:54:14 At the same time,
00:54:16 there was interest in EB materials,
00:54:18 and these are some quarter-micron images
00:54:20 that were developed
00:54:22 over a decade ago now
00:54:24 using Inovolac
00:54:26 with a methylpentene sulfone
00:54:28 dissolution inhibitor.
00:54:30 It's amazing that at the time,
00:54:31 getting quarter-micron line
00:54:33 and space images
00:54:35 was a real achievement.
00:54:37 We compare this to where today
00:54:39 we're getting 25 to 45 nanometer images
00:54:44 that actually look better than this.
00:54:47 So that's how far we've gone
00:54:49 from over a decade ago to now.
00:54:52 We've looked at negative E-beam resists
00:54:55 both for mask-making
00:54:57 and for imaging applications.
00:54:59 And we've looked at alternate processes
00:55:02 where we're trying to do dry-developed materials
00:55:05 where we're introducing
00:55:07 a silicon-containing material
00:55:09 that can be dry-developed
00:55:11 where you can use plasma etching
00:55:13 to transfer the pattern
00:55:15 through a thicker organic layer
00:55:17 in order to provide for planarization.
00:55:19 But ultimately,
00:55:21 none of these approaches
00:55:23 really have borne fruit.
00:55:25 So we continue to look at
00:55:26 DPV chemistry.
00:55:28 And what we really focused on then
00:55:31 was the first revolutionary change
00:55:34 in chemistry of resists,
00:55:37 which was the introduction
00:55:39 of the chemical amplification mechanism
00:55:41 by Ito, Wilson, and Frechet
00:55:43 working at IBM,
00:55:45 where what they did
00:55:47 was they took a hydrophobic matrix resin
00:55:49 that had a protective group here.
00:55:51 In the presence of a photogenerated acid,
00:55:53 you could cleave this group,
00:55:54 generating, you know,
00:55:56 isobutylene and carbon dioxide,
00:55:58 which would be evolved from the film,
00:56:00 and you generate a phenol,
00:56:02 aqueous-based insoluble,
00:56:04 aqueous-based soluble.
00:56:06 You have to add an extra process step
00:56:08 of doing a bake,
00:56:10 but a very clean,
00:56:12 effective way to develop images,
00:56:14 and one that was catalytic
00:56:16 because of this acid-generation process
00:56:18 so that you can get to
00:56:20 effectively effective quantum yields
00:56:22 that were greater than one.
00:56:24 So we had a way of now
00:56:26 having a very fast
00:56:28 deep UV resist material.
00:56:30 But there are a lot of problems
00:56:32 related to implementing
00:56:34 chemically amplified resists,
00:56:36 and certainly surface inhibition
00:56:38 and substrate contamination
00:56:40 were key factors,
00:56:42 where there is acid deactivation
00:56:44 at the polymer surface,
00:56:46 at the air interface,
00:56:48 or at the substrate interface
00:56:50 that interfered with
00:56:52 imaging.
00:56:54 And then processing in
00:56:56 base-free environments
00:56:58 or adding a weakly acidic overcoat
00:57:00 were ways to solve that problem.
00:57:02 The original materials
00:57:04 had poor etching resistance.
00:57:06 The protective group
00:57:08 would be removed during etch.
00:57:10 If you look at this material,
00:57:12 about 40% of the volume
00:57:14 of that material
00:57:16 belongs to these groups
00:57:18 that are volatile,
00:57:20 that emanate from the film.
00:57:22 They have poor etching resistance.
00:57:24 So we really had to look at
00:57:26 different chemistries
00:57:28 to solve that problem.
00:57:30 And then there was a large change
00:57:32 in the critical dimension
00:57:34 with post-exposure bake temperature.
00:57:36 Again, we needed to look at
00:57:38 the acid catalysis,
00:57:40 decreasing the catalytic chain
00:57:42 length of the reaction,
00:57:44 and lowering that activation energy.
00:57:46 And the bottom line is
00:57:48 from the original invention
00:57:50 until when we saw insertion
00:57:52 of these materials,
00:57:54 then came a drive
00:57:56 to go to even still
00:57:58 smaller features.
00:58:00 And what technology do we use?
00:58:02 Is it going to be optical?
00:58:04 Is it going to be x-ray?
00:58:06 Is it going to be e-beam?
00:58:08 Well, 193 nanometer
00:58:10 technology research
00:58:12 was initiated
00:58:14 about in the early 1990 timeframe.
00:58:16 Well, that resulted
00:58:18 in sort of a second paradigm
00:58:20 shift in resist materials
00:58:22 where we really wanted
00:58:24 to address the problem
00:58:26 of aromatic and olefinic moieties
00:58:28 that were really too absorptive
00:58:30 at 193 nanometers.
00:58:32 So what we needed to do
00:58:34 was design resist materials
00:58:36 that were structurally different
00:58:38 from the 248 nanometer resist,
00:58:40 structurally different
00:58:42 from NOVOLAC resist,
00:58:44 but functionally superior.
00:58:46 And the way we could do that
00:58:48 was through using
00:58:50 what's called
00:58:52 a high carbon content,
00:58:54 which is using a high cyclic carbon content
00:58:56 to get enhanced
00:58:58 plasma etching performance
00:59:00 coupled with the presence
00:59:02 of structural oxygen.
00:59:04 And from when we started research
00:59:06 to when we had the initial insertion,
00:59:08 we're talking about six years
00:59:10 or somewhat more than that.
00:59:12 But by doing that,
00:59:14 we're able to use
00:59:16 what's called a traditional
00:59:18 single-layer resist design.
00:59:20 And the advantage here
00:59:22 is that we have an existing
00:59:24 manufacturing process knowledge base.
00:59:26 And I think that's very key
00:59:28 to being able to implement
00:59:30 a new technology
00:59:32 because there is
00:59:34 a cost associated
00:59:36 with taking what you know
00:59:38 and starting
00:59:40 from a completely different point.
00:59:42 From the chemistry's perspective,
00:59:44 though,
00:59:45 it required a paradigm shift
00:59:47 in the materials chemistry
00:59:49 in order to effect
00:59:50 high resistance
00:59:52 and not losing anything
00:59:54 in lithographic performance.
00:59:56 And we'd come a long way
00:59:58 in what we needed to do
01:00:00 and what we understood
01:00:02 about the chemistry of the materials
01:00:04 and how we go about
01:00:06 designing materials
01:00:08 so that for each lithographic parameter
01:00:10 that we could identify,
01:00:12 we now knew enough
01:00:14 about the chemistry
01:00:16 and the fundamental
01:00:17 interaction of materials
01:00:18 and characteristics
01:00:20 associated with that
01:00:22 lithographic parameter.
01:00:24 And just to chew the couple,
01:00:26 you know, absorption,
01:00:28 clearly we didn't want
01:00:30 any olefinic or aromatic moieties.
01:00:32 If we're thinking about
01:00:34 low metal ion content,
01:00:36 we wanted to identify
01:00:38 synthesis and scale-up
01:00:40 methodology of the resists
01:00:42 that avoided the use of metals
01:00:44 so that we didn't want
01:00:46 any metals left
01:00:47 in the material.
01:00:49 So in terms of materials design,
01:00:51 one of the approaches
01:00:53 that we took at the labs
01:00:55 was to start with a matrix resin
01:00:57 that had L-cyclic moieties
01:00:59 for etching resistance.
01:01:01 This is sort of a
01:01:02 norbornian component.
01:01:04 We added maleic anhydrides
01:01:06 that allowed us to do
01:01:08 a metal ion pre-synthesis.
01:01:10 And then we added
01:01:12 acrylate functionalities
01:01:14 for differential solubility.
01:01:15 So this is a solubility
01:01:17 derivative that occupies
01:01:19 a very large molecular volume.
01:01:21 And if we convert this
01:01:23 colic acid from
01:01:25 aqueous base insoluble
01:01:27 to aqueous base soluble,
01:01:29 we'd have a very large
01:01:31 differential solubility.
01:01:33 It's miscible with polar
01:01:35 matrix resins.
01:01:37 It's transparent at 193
01:01:39 nanometers, and it's readily
01:01:41 available.
01:01:42 Colic acid is a bile acid.
01:01:43 And then we had the
01:01:44 photoacid generator,
01:01:45 where for the initial
01:01:47 formulations we used
01:01:48 a diphenyliodonium
01:01:49 nonaflate.
01:01:50 Certainly the fluorinated
01:01:52 materials are something
01:01:53 we want to get away from
01:01:54 now because of environmental
01:01:55 issues.
01:01:57 But it was miscible with
01:01:58 the resist components.
01:01:59 It afforded a strong acid,
01:02:01 and it generated
01:02:02 nonvolatile byproducts
01:02:04 upon exposure.
01:02:06 So that chemistry
01:02:08 allowed us to have
01:02:09 good transparency
01:02:10 at the exposing wavelength.
01:02:11 It was compatible
01:02:12 with the standard
01:02:14 developer used in a
01:02:15 process line, 0.262
01:02:17 normal tetramethyl
01:02:18 ammonium hydroxide.
01:02:20 Had a high Tg.
01:02:22 It was compatible with
01:02:23 using the solution
01:02:24 inhibitor approaches.
01:02:25 It had good adhesion
01:02:27 and good etching
01:02:28 performance.
01:02:29 This shows
01:02:30 the chemistry for the
01:02:32 chemists in the audience
01:02:33 where we've got the
01:02:34 matrix resin that has
01:02:36 a t-butyl ester
01:02:37 protective group.
01:02:38 Again, a similarly
01:02:39 protected t-butyl ester
01:02:41 collate derivative
01:02:43 and the photo acid
01:02:44 generator chemistry.
01:02:46 We go from a material
01:02:47 that's aqueous based
01:02:48 insoluble to one
01:02:50 that is aqueous based
01:02:51 soluble.
01:02:53 These were some early
01:02:54 images that we were able
01:02:55 to obtain on 193
01:02:57 exposure showing
01:02:58 100 nanometer
01:02:59 or tenth micron
01:03:00 line in space images.
01:03:03 We were also able to use
01:03:04 phase shift mass
01:03:05 techniques to generate
01:03:07 nanometer scale images
01:03:08 where these are
01:03:09 60 nanometer
01:03:10 images patterned
01:03:12 using an alternating
01:03:13 phase shift mass.
01:03:15 Down here is
01:03:17 the first flash memory
01:03:18 device, an 80 nanometer
01:03:19 device that was
01:03:21 prepared using
01:03:22 193 nanometer
01:03:24 lithography.
01:03:26 What I have in the
01:03:27 inset here is
01:03:29 a comparison of
01:03:30 what the very early
01:03:32 chemically amplified
01:03:33 resist images
01:03:34 looked like.
01:03:36 Because of the
01:03:37 acid that's
01:03:38 generated,
01:03:39 a means in
01:03:41 an exposure environment,
01:03:43 we got neutralization
01:03:44 of acid at this
01:03:45 resist air interface
01:03:47 and all we could get
01:03:48 were tunnels.
01:03:50 Unfortunately,
01:03:51 we could generate
01:03:52 really great tunnels
01:03:54 but nobody had
01:03:55 any use for them
01:03:56 at least
01:03:57 up until now.
01:04:00 A lot of effort went
01:04:01 into understanding
01:04:02 this process
01:04:03 and then really being
01:04:04 able to
01:04:05 evolve
01:04:06 and generate
01:04:07 nanometer scale
01:04:08 devices
01:04:10 where these were
01:04:11 80 nanometers
01:04:12 and smaller.
01:04:14 What about
01:04:15 the future?
01:04:17 We're using
01:04:18 193 nanometer
01:04:19 lithography today.
01:04:21 The options for the
01:04:22 perceivable future
01:04:23 that are being
01:04:24 discussed
01:04:25 are immersion
01:04:26 lithography,
01:04:27 UV,
01:04:28 157,
01:04:29 along with others.
01:04:31 What is going to be
01:04:32 key to making
01:04:33 those technologies
01:04:34 feasible
01:04:35 are
01:04:37 the materials
01:04:38 and the processes
01:04:39 that are associated
01:04:40 with
01:04:41 these technologies.
01:04:43 In terms of
01:04:44 invention to insertion,
01:04:45 when we're going
01:04:46 to see that happen
01:04:47 really is going to
01:04:48 depend on
01:04:49 the need
01:04:50 and how much
01:04:51 of a change
01:04:52 we're going to be
01:04:53 seeing
01:04:54 in the fundamental
01:04:55 technology that's
01:04:56 going to be used
01:04:57 to fabricate
01:04:58 silicon devices.
01:04:59 We really want to
01:05:00 build on
01:05:01 what we know.
01:05:03 That has led to
01:05:04 a lot of interest
01:05:05 in what is called
01:05:06 immersion lithography,
01:05:08 where we're now
01:05:09 using projection optics,
01:05:10 focusing that beam
01:05:12 through a liquid,
01:05:13 which is water,
01:05:15 developing resists
01:05:16 that now work
01:05:17 in this
01:05:18 water environment.
01:05:20 That provides for
01:05:22 an improvement
01:05:23 in the resolution
01:05:24 that we can get
01:05:25 at
01:05:26 the wafer plane.
01:05:29 Some examples of that,
01:05:30 these are 45
01:05:31 nanometer lines
01:05:33 that were imaged
01:05:34 with
01:05:35 193 nanometer
01:05:36 light
01:05:37 using immersion
01:05:38 lithography,
01:05:39 and this is
01:05:40 courtesy of
01:05:41 Nikon and Clarion.
01:05:43 This is demonstration
01:05:45 that by using
01:05:46 this technique,
01:05:47 we can
01:05:48 fundamentally stay
01:05:49 with the same
01:05:50 resist technology
01:05:52 and be able to get
01:05:53 images that are now
01:05:54 a quarter
01:05:55 of the wavelength
01:05:56 of light
01:05:57 that is being used
01:05:58 to expose
01:05:59 those materials.
01:06:01 If we look at
01:06:02 the wavelength,
01:06:03 whether it's
01:06:04 193 nanometer
01:06:06 or 157 nanometer
01:06:07 light
01:06:08 with fluorine
01:06:09 lasers,
01:06:10 by using
01:06:11 immersion lithography,
01:06:13 the effective
01:06:14 wavelength is down
01:06:15 to either 134
01:06:16 nanometers
01:06:17 or 115
01:06:18 nanometers.
01:06:20 By using
01:06:21 argon fluoride
01:06:22 immersion,
01:06:23 we're effectively
01:06:24 doing 134
01:06:25 nanometer
01:06:26 lithography.
01:06:28 What are some
01:06:29 future options?
01:06:30 What are we going
01:06:31 to do when
01:06:32 those images
01:06:33 get to be
01:06:34 one or two
01:06:35 or three or
01:06:36 four nanometers
01:06:37 across?
01:06:38 How are we going
01:06:39 to be able to
01:06:40 fabricate those
01:06:41 devices?
01:06:42 Well, there are a
01:06:43 number of options
01:06:44 that are being
01:06:45 talked about.
01:06:46 One of them is
01:06:47 nano imprint
01:06:48 lithography,
01:06:49 which largely
01:06:50 involves
01:06:51 hot embossing
01:06:52 or stamping
01:06:53 onto a substrate.
01:06:54 It can be done
01:06:55 die by die
01:06:56 or by full
01:06:57 wafer patterning,
01:06:58 but there are
01:06:59 some advantages
01:07:00 to that
01:07:01 process.
01:07:02 Certainly, it's a
01:07:03 high resolution
01:07:04 process,
01:07:05 but you've got
01:07:06 the disadvantages
01:07:07 effectively of
01:07:08 contact lithography,
01:07:09 namely,
01:07:10 defects
01:07:11 and distortions.
01:07:12 And at least
01:07:13 to date,
01:07:14 there's no clear
01:07:15 way to be able
01:07:16 to align
01:07:17 one layer
01:07:18 to the next.
01:07:19 This is just
01:07:20 an example
01:07:21 of what can
01:07:22 be done
01:07:23 with
01:07:24 step-and-flash
01:07:25 imprint
01:07:26 lithography,
01:07:27 where these
01:07:28 are 40
01:07:29 nanometers
01:07:30 across
01:07:31 and
01:07:32 contained
01:07:33 with this
01:07:34 kind of
01:07:35 process.
01:07:36 Similarly,
01:07:37 there have
01:07:38 been six
01:07:39 nanometer lines
01:07:40 here,
01:07:41 six nanometers
01:07:42 across
01:07:43 and five
01:07:44 nanometers
01:07:45 across,
01:07:46 done by
01:07:47 nano imprint
01:07:48 lithography,
01:07:49 again,
01:07:50 by pressing
01:07:51 a template
01:07:52 into a
01:07:53 thermoplastic
01:07:54 material.
01:07:55 But you're
01:07:56 going to have
01:07:57 problems
01:07:58 with
01:07:59 this
01:08:00 because
01:08:01 you're
01:08:02 not
01:08:03 going to
01:08:04 be able
01:08:05 to
01:08:06 do
01:08:07 the
01:08:08 same
01:08:09 thing
01:08:10 over and
01:08:11 over
01:08:12 again.
01:08:13 And so
01:08:14 we're
01:08:15 coming to
01:08:16 a lot of
01:08:17 discussion
01:08:18 about what
01:08:19 is going
01:08:20 to be
01:08:21 the next
01:08:22 lithographic
01:08:23 technology
01:08:24 and when
01:08:25 is it
01:08:26 going to
01:08:27 be
01:08:28 the next
01:08:29 lithographic
01:08:30 technology.
01:08:31 And
01:08:32 we're
01:08:33 going to
01:08:34 have
01:08:35 a lot
01:08:36 of

01:08:38 about
01:08:39 that.
01:08:40 And
01:08:41 we're
01:08:42 going to
01:08:43 have
01:08:44 a lot

01:09:26 And
