    Abstract: Apparatus and method for processing a substrate are provided. The apparatus for processing a substrate comprises: a chamber having a first electrode; a substrate support disposed in the chamber and providing a second electrode; a high frequency power source electrically connected to either the first or the second electrode; a low frequency power source electrically connected to either the first or the second electrode; and a variable impedance element connected to one or more of the electrodes. The variable impedance element may be tuned to control a self bias voltage division between the first electrode and the second electrode. Embodiments of the invention substantially reduce erosion of the electrodes, maintain process uniformity, improve precision of the etch process for forming high aspect ratio sub-quarter-micron interconnect features, and provide an increased etch rate which reduces time and costs of production of integrated circuits.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for depositing a low dielectric constant film by reaction of an organosilicon compound and an oxidizing gas at a constant RF power level from about 10 W to about 200 W or a pulsed RF power level from about 20 W to about 500 W. Dissociation of the oxidizing gas can be increased prior to mixing with the organosilicon compound, preferably within a separate microwave chamber, to assist in controlling the carbon content of the deposited film. The oxidized organosilane or organosiloxane film has good barrier properties for use as a liner or cap layer adjacent other dielectric layers. The oxidized organosilane or organosiloxane film may also be used as an etch stop and an intermetal dielectric layer for fabricating dual damascene structures. The oxidized organosilane or organosiloxane films also provide excellent adhesion between different dielectric layers. A preferred oxidized organosilane film is produced by reaction of methylsilane, CH3SiH3, dimethylsilane, (CH3)2SiH2, or 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-disiloxane, (CH3)2nullSiHnullOnullSiHnull(CH3)2, and nitrous oxide, N2O, at a constant RF power level from about 10 W to about 150 W, or a pulsed RF power level from about 20 W to about 250 W during 10% to 30% of the duty cycle.

    Abstract: A method of formation of a damascene FSG film with good adhesion to silicon nitride in an HDP-CVD system. Silane (SiH4), silicon tetrafluoride (SiF4), oxygen (O2) and argon (Ar) are used as the reactant gases. SiH4, SiF4, and O2 react to form the FSG. Ar is introduced to promote gas dissociation. All four gases are used for depositing most of the FSG film. SiH4 is not used during deposition of the interfacial part of the FSG film. The interfacial part of the FSG film refers either to the topmost portion, if silicon nitride is to be deposited on top of the FSG or the bottom portion if the FSG is to be deposited on top of silicon nitride. Using SiH4 with the SiF4 tends to mitigate the destructive effects of SiF4 throughout most of the deposition. By removing the SiH4 from the deposition of the interfacial part of the FSG film less hydrogen is incorporated into the film in the interfacial region and adhesion to overlying or underlying silicon nitride is improved.

    Abstract translation: 在HDP-CVD系统中形成对氮化硅具有良好粘附性的镶嵌FSG膜的方法。 使用硅烷(SiH 4),四氟化硅(SiF 4),氧(O 2)和氩(Ar)作为反应气体。 SiH4,SiF4和O2反应形成FSG。 引入Ar来促进气体分解。 所有四种气体都用于沉积大部分FSG膜。 在沉积FSG膜的界面部分期间不使用SiH4。 如果要将FSG沉积在氮化硅的顶部,则FSG膜的界面部分指的是最高部分,如果氮化硅沉积在FSG或底部的顶部。 SiF4与SiF4的共同作用倾向于减少SiF4在大部分沉积过程中的破坏作用。 通过从FSG膜的界面部分的沉积中除去SiH 4,在界面区域中较少的氢被引入到膜中,并且改善了覆盖或下面的氮化硅的粘合性。
