Nitride films with improved etch selectivity for 3D NAND integration
摘要:
A method for depositing a nitride layer over an oxide layer to form an oxide-nitride stack is provided. The method includes supplying an inert gas to a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) reactor that supports a substrate having said oxide layer. Then, providing power to an electrode of the PECVD reactor, where the power is configured to strike a plasma. Then, flowing reactant gases into the PECVD reactor. The reactant gases include a first percentage by volume of ammonia (NH3), a second percentage by volume of nitrogen (N2), a third percentage by volume of silane (SiH4) and a fourth percentage by volume of an oxidizer. The fourth percentage by volume of said oxidizer is at least 0.5 percent by volume and less than about 8 percent by volume. Then, continuing to flow the reactant gases into the PECVD reactor until the nitride layer is determined to achieve a target thickness over the oxide layer.
