摘要:
A method and apparatus for performing multiple deposition processes is provided. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a chamber body (102) and a gas distribution assembly (130) disposed on the chamber body. The method comprises positioning a substrate surface (110) to be processed within the chamber body, delivering two or more compounds into the chamber body utilizing the gas distribution assembly on the chamber body to deposit a film comprising a first material, and then delivering two or more compounds into the chamber body utilizing the gas distribution assembly disposed on the chamber body to deposit a film comprising a second material. The gas distribution assembly includes a gas conduit in fluid communication with the chamber body, two or more isolated gas inlets equipped with one or more high speed actuating valves (140A, 140B) in fluid communication with the gas conduit, and a mixing channel in fluid communication with the gas conduit. The valves are adapted to alternately pulse one or more compounds into the gas conduit, and the mixing channel is adapted to deliver a continuous flow of one or more compounds into the gas conduit.

摘要:
A method and system to form a refractory metal layer on a substrate features nucleating a substrate using sequential deposition techniques in which the substrate is serially exposed to first and second reactive gases followed by forming a layer, employing vapor deposition, to subject the nucleation layer to a bulk deposition of a compound contained in one of the first and second reactive gases. The process may be carried-out where all process steps occur in a common chamber or may occur in different chambers. For example, nucleation may be carried-out in a processing chamber that is different from the processing chamber in which the bulk deposition occurs. Also disclosed is a technique for controlling the presence of fluorine atoms in the resulting layer as a function of the carrier gas employed during nucleation.
