摘要:
Abstract of the Disclosure A gapfill process is provided using cycling of HDP-CVD deposition, etching, and deposition step. The fluent gas during the first deposition step includes an inert gas such as He, but includes H2 during the remainder deposition step. The higher average molecular weight of the fluent gas during the first deposition step provides some cusping over structures that define the gap to protect them during the etching step. The lower average molecular weight of the fluent gas during the remainder deposition step has reduced sputtering characteristics and is effective at filling the remainder of the gap.

Method for processing gallium arsenide (GaAs) wafers is provided. One embodiment of the invention provides a method for processing a substrate comprising disposing the substrate on a substrate support member in a high density plasma chemical vapor deposition chamber, depositing a film onto a surface of the substrate, and after deposition of the film, flowing a heat transfer gas in one or more channels on a substrate support surface of the substrate support member.
摘要:
A process for removing unwanted deposition build-up from one or more interior surfaces of a substrate processing chamber after depositing a layer of material over a substrate disposed in the chamber. In one embodiment the process comprises transferring the substrate out of the chamber; flowing a first gas into the substrate processing chamber and forming a plasma within the chamber from the first gas in order to heat the chamber; and thereafter, extinguishing the plasma, flowing an etchant gas into a remote plasma source, forming reactive species from the etchant gas and transporting the reactive species into the substrate processing chamber to etch the unwanted deposition build-up.
摘要:
A method of depositing a high density plasma silicon oxide layer having improved gapfill capabilities. In one embodiment the method includes flowing a process gas consisting of a silicon-containing source, an oxygen-containing source and helium into a substrate processing chamber and forming a plasma from the process gas. The ratio of the flow rate of the helium with respect to the combined flow rate of the silicon source and oxygen source is between 0.5:1 and 3.0:1 inclusive. In one particular embodiment, the process gas consists of monosilane (SiH4), molecular oxygen (O2) and helium.
摘要:
A method is provided for forming a fluorinated silicate glass layer with HDP-CVD having a lower dielectric constant without compromising the mechanical properties of hardness and compressive stress. A gaseous mixture comprising a silicon-containing gas, an oxygen-containing gas, and a fluorine-containing gas is provided to a process chamber. The ratio of the flow rate of the fluorine-containing gas to the flow rate of the silicon-containing gas is greater than 0.65. A high-density plasma is generated from the gaseous mixture by applying a source RF power having a power density less than 12 W/cm2. A bias is applied to a substrate in the process chamber at a bias power density greater than 0.8 W/cm2 and less than 2.4 W/cm2. The fluorinated silicate glass layer is deposited onto the substrate using the high-density plasma.
