Abstract:
A method may include depositing a mask layer on a substrate using physical vapor deposition, wherein an absolute value of a stress in the mask layer has a first value; and directing a dose of ions into the mask layer, wherein the absolute value of the stress in the mask layer has a second value, less than the first value, after the directing the dose.

Claim (Index 17):
A method for fabricating a low stress layer, comprising:\n depositing a SiN layer on a substrate using physical vapor deposition, wherein an absolute value of a stress in the SiN layer has a first stress value, and wherein the SiN layer exhibits a first density; and directing a dose of ions into the SiN layer, wherein the absolute value of the stress in the mask layer has a second value, less than the first value, and wherein the SiN layer exhibits a second density, at least 90% of the first density, after the directing the dose, wherein the directing the dose of ions comprises: choosing an ion species and ion energy for the dose of ions, wherein the directing the dose of ions causes the ion species to be implanted to an implant range R P , wherein R P  is between 40% and 66% of the mask thickness; and causes the ion species to be implanted to an implant depth, the implant depth being given by R P +3(LS), where LS is longitudinal straggle, and wherein the value of the implant depth is greater than 50% of the mask thickness and less than 100% of the mask thickness.
