摘要:
A method for depositing a low k dielectric film comprising silicon, carbon, and nitrogen is provided. The low k dielectric film is formed by a gas mixture comprising a silicon source, a carbon source, and NR1R2R3, wherein R1, R2, and R3 are selected from the group consisting of alkyl and phenyl groups. The low k dielectric film may be used as a barrier layer, an etch stop, an anti-reflective coating, or a hard mask.
摘要:
A method for providing a dielectric film having a low dielectric constant. The deposited film is particularly useful as an intermetal or premetal dielectric layer in an integrated circuit. The low dielectric constant film is a carbon-doped silicon oxide layer deposited from a thermal, as opposed to plasma, CVD process. The layer is deposited from a process gas of ozone and an organosilane precursor having at least one silicon-carbon (Si—C) bond. During the deposition process the wafer is heated to a temperature less than 250° C. and preferably to a temperature between 100-200° C. Enhancements to the process include adding Boron and/or Phosphorus dopants, two step deposition, and capping the post cured layer.
摘要:
A method for processing semiconductor substrates by reacting hydroxyl radicals with a precursor to cause the precursor to decompose and form a film which deposits on a substrate. Hydroxyl radicals, which are produced in a hydroxyl-ion producing apparatus outside of a chemical vapor deposition reactor, are mixed with a precursor to form a hydroxyl ions-precursor mixture. The hydroxyl ions-precursor mixture is introduced into the chemical vapor deposition reactor.

The present invention provides systems, methods and apparatus for high temperature (at least about 500-800.degree. C.) processing of semiconductor wafers. The systems, methods and apparatus of the present invention allow multiple process steps to be performed in situ in the same chamber to reduce total processing time and to ensure high quality processing for high aspect ratio devices. Performing multiple process steps in the same chamber also increases the control of the process parameters and reduces device damage. In particular, the present invention can provide high temperature deposition, heating and efficient cleaning for forming dielectric films having thickness uniformity, good gap fill capability, high density, low moisture, and other desired characteristics.
摘要:
Provided are methods for the deposition and doping of films comprising Si. Certain methods involve depositing a SiN, SiO, SiON, SiC or SiCN film and doping the Si-containing film with one or more of C, B, O, N and Ge by a plasma implantation process. Such doped Si-containing films may have improved properties such as reduced etch rate in acid-based clean solutions, reduced dielectric constant and/or improved dielectric strength.
摘要:
A processing chamber having a plurality of movable substrate carriers stacked therein for continuously processing a plurality of substrates is provided. The movable substrate carrier is capable of being transported from outside of the processing chamber, e.g., being transferred from a load luck chamber, into the processing chamber and out of the processing chamber, e.g., being transferred into another load luck chamber. Process gases delivered into the processing chamber are spatially separated into a plurality of processing slots, and/or temporally controlled. The processing chamber can be part of a multi-chamber substrate processing system.

The present disclosure provides a multilayered cap (i.e., migration barrier) that conforms to the substrate (i.e., interconnect structure) below. The multilayered cap, which can be located atop at least one interconnect level of an interconnect structure, includes, from bottom to top, a first layer comprising silicon nitride and a second layer comprising at least one of boron nitride and carbon boron nitride.
摘要:
Methods are provided for processing a substrate for depositing an adhesion layer having a low dielectric constant between two low k dielectric layers. In one aspect, the invention provides a method for processing a substrate including depositing a barrier layer on the substrate, wherein the barrier layer comprises silicon and carbon and has a dielectric constant less than 4, depositing a dielectric initiation layer adjacent the barrier layer, and depositing a first dielectric layer adjacent the dielectric initiation layer, wherein the dielectric layer comprises silicon, oxygen, and carbon and has a dielectric constant of about 3 or less.
摘要:
A method of forming a layer on a substrate in a chamber, wherein the substrate has at least one formed feature across its surface, is provided. The method includes exposing the substrate to a silicon-containing precursor in the presence of a plasma to deposit a layer, treating the deposited layer with a plasma, and repeating the exposing and treating until a desired thickness of the layer is obtained. The plasma may be generated from an oxygen-containing gas.
