    摘要: A method for energy-assisted atomic layer deposition and removal of a dielectric film are provided. In one embodiment a substrate (14) is placed into a reaction chamber (10) and a gaseous precursor is introduced into the reaction chamber (10). Energy is provide by a pulse of electromagnetic radiation which forms radical species of the gaseous precursor. The radical species react with the surface of the substrate (14) to form a radical terminated surface on the substrate (14). The reaction chamber (10) is purged and a second gaseous precursor is introduced. A second electromagnetic radiation pulse is initiated and forms second radical species. The second radical species of the second gas react with the surface to form a film on the substrate (14). Alternately, the gaseous species can be chosen to produce radicals that result in the removal of material from the surface of the substrate (14).

    摘要: The present invention provides systems and methods for mixing precursors such that a mixture of precursors are present together in a chamber during a single pulse step in an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process to form a multi-component film. The precursors are comprised of at least one different chemical component, and such different components will form a mono-layer to produce a multi-component film. In a further aspect of the present invention, a dielectric film having a composition gradient is provided.

    摘要: A method of making high-k dielectrics is provided. The method comprises providing a substrate having a high-k dielectric layer deposited thereon in a process chamber and introducing a nitrogen containing gas into the process chamber to incorporate nitrogen into the high-k dielectric layer. In one embodiment, the nitrogen containing gas is a nitrogen plasma gas from a source disposed outside the process chamber. The nitrogen plasma gas is introduced into the process chamber at a flow rate from 0 to about 5000 sccm over a time period of about 20 to 1800 seconds. In another embodiment, the process chamber is maintained at a pressure of about 1 to 100 Torr, and at a wafer temperature in the range of about 200°C-700°C. The high-k dielectric film pre-deposited on the substrate can be formed by atomic layer deposition, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), jet vapor deposition (JVD), aerosol pyrolysis, and spin-coating.

    摘要: A cost-effective and environmentally benign cleaning method is provided which comprises introducing an etch gas into the chamber (14), performing a first cleaning process to remove the deposited materials at a high rate, and performing a second cleaning process to remove the deposited materials at a high etch selectivity with respect to the materials forming the chamber. The first cleaning process is performed at a first pressure is substantially lower than the first pressure to enhance the etching selectivity.

    摘要: A novel class of volatile liquid precursors based on amino substituted disilane compounds is used to form silicon nitride dielectric materials on the surface of substrates. This class of precursors overcomes the issues of high deposition temperatures and the formation of undesirable by-products that are inherent in the present art. In another aspect, methods of depositing silicon nitride films on substrates are provided.
