摘要:
A method is provided for forming a silicon nitride (SiNx) film. The method comprises: providing a Si substrate or Si film layer; optionally maintaining a substrate temperature of about 400 degrees C., or less; performing a high-density (HD) nitrogen plasma process where a top electrode is connected to an inductively coupled HD plasma source; and, forming a grown layer of SiNx overlying the substrate. More specifically, the HD nitrogen plasma process includes using an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) source to supply power to a top electrode, independent of the power and frequency of the power that is supplied to the bottom electrode, in an atmosphere with a nitrogen source gas. The SiNx layer can be grown at an initial growth rate of at least about 20 Å in about the first minute.
