    Abstract: A thin layer of silicon is deposited within a high aspect ratio feature to provide a template for selective deposition of oxide therein. In accordance with one embodiment, amorphous silicon is deposited within a shallow trench feature overlying an oxide liner grown therein. After exposure to sputtering to remove the amorphous silicon from outside of the trench, oxide is selectively deposited over the amorphous silicon to fill the trench from the bottom up without voids, thereby creating a shallow trench isolation (STI) structure. Deposition of the amorphous silicon or other silicon containing layers allows the selective oxide deposition step to be integrated with a thermally-grown oxide trench liner.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: A method for forming a silicon carbide layer for use in integrated circuit fabrication is disclosed. The silicon carbide layer is formed by reacting a gas mixture comprising a silicon source, a carbon source, and an inert gas in the presence of an electric field. The electric field is generated using mixed frequency radio frequency (RF) power. The silicon carbide layer is compatible with integrated circuit fabrication processes. In one integrated circuit fabrication process, the silicon carbide layer is used as a hardmask for fabricating integrated circuit structures such as, for example, a damascene structure. In another integrated circuit fabrication process, the silicon carbide layer is used as an anti-reflective coating (ARC) for DUV lithography.

    Abstract: Methods to reduce film cracking in a dielectric layer are described. The methods may include the steps of depositing a first dielectric film on a substrate and removing a top portion of the first dielectric film by performing an etch on the film. The methods may also include depositing a second dielectric film over the etched first film, and removing a top portion of the second dielectric film. In addition, the methods may include annealing the first and second dielectric films to form the dielectric layer, where the removal of the top portions from the first and the second dielectric films reduces a stress level in the dielectric layer.
