A method and apparatus for atomic layer deposition (ALD) is described. The apparatus comprises a deposition chamber and a wafer support. The deposition chamber is divided into two or more deposition regions that are integrally connected one to another. The wafer support is movable between the two or more interconnected deposition regions within the deposition chamber.

In one embodiment, a method for forming a tungsten-containing material on a substrate is provided which includes positioning a substrate having an underlying tungsten layer within a process chamber and depositing a tungsten-containing barrier layer on the underlying tungsten layer during a cyclical layer deposition process. The tungsten-containing barrier layer contains a refractory metal nitride material. The method further provides depositing a seed layer on the tungsten-containing barrier layer during a vapor deposition process and depositing a bulk tungsten layer on the seed layer during a chemical vapor deposition process.

摘要:
A method and system to reduce the resistance of refractory metal layers by controlling the presence of fluorine contained therein. The present invention is based upon the discovery that when employing ALD techniques to form refractory metal layers on a substrate, the carrier gas employed impacts the presence of fluorine in the resulting layer. As a result, the method features chemisorbing, onto the substrate, alternating monolayers of a first compound and a second compound, with the second compound having fluorine atoms associated therewith, with each of the first and second compounds being introduced into the processing chamber along with a carrier gas to control a quantity of the fluorine atoms associated with the monolayer of the second compound.
