Abstract:
Methods of depositing a metal layer utilizing organometallic compounds. A substrate surface is exposed to a gaseous organometallic metal precursor and an organometallic metal reactant to form a metal layer (e.g., a copper layer) on the substrate.
Abstract:
Described are methods for controlling the doping of metal nitride films such as TaN, TiN and MnN. The temperature during deposition of the metal nitride film may be controlled to provide a film density that permits a desired amount of doping. Dopants may include Ru, Cu, Co, Mn, Mo, Al, Mg, Cr, Nb, Ta, Ti and V. The metal nitride film may optionally be exposed to plasma treatment after doping.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus to fill a feature with a seamless gapfill of copper are described. A copper gapfill seed layer is deposited on a substrate surface by atomic layer deposition followed by a copper deposition by physical vapor deposition to fill the gap with copper.
