Abstract

An adhesion-enhancing technique for preparing the surface of a polycrystalline silicon body to receive organic photoresist. In an exemplary procedure, the polysilicon is placed in an oxygen plasma chamber operating under rf power of about 90 milliwatts per cubic centimeter of chamber volume and a pressure of approximately 1 torr for 10 minutes to form an adhesion-enhancing oxide monolayer on the polysilicon.
