    摘要: The present invention provides an approach which provides an increase in the number of usable substrates with a film, such as titanium nitride, deposited thereon at a sufficient deposition rate and where the film meets uniformity and resistivity specifications as well as providing good step coverage. In accordance with an embodiment, the present invention provides a method of substrate processing. The method includes steps of circulating a heat exchange medium through a passage in a chamber body of a vacuum chamber, and heating a heater pedestal having a surface for supporting the substrate to a heater temperature. The heat exchange medium has a heat exchange temperature of about 60.degree. C. or less. The method also includes the step of flowing at a flow rate a gas into the chamber to deposit a film on a substrate, where the flow rate provides an effective temperature of the substrate lower than the heater temperature and where the film meets uniformity and resistance specifications after deposition onto a number of substrates. This number is less than twenty-five, in some embodiments, and less than ten in other embodiments. The use of the present invention thus avoids the discarding of the initial hundreds of processed substrates not meeting specifications that is typically experienced with the prior art processes.

    摘要: The invention relates to an apparatus and process for the vaporization of liquid precursors and deposition of a film on a suitable substrate. Particularly contemplated is an apparatus and process for the vaporization of a metal-oxide film, such as a barium, strontium, titanium oxide (BST) film, for deposition on a silicon wafer to make integrated circuit capacitors useful in high capacity dynamic memory modules. The vaporizer comprises thermally controlled components which are adapted for easy assembly and disassembly. A main vaporizing section provides a large heated surface for flash vaporization. A high conductance blocker is disposed at a lower end of the vaporizer to provide an extended vaporization surface. Optionally, a filter may be employed to capture unvaporized precursor droplets.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a method for forming a tungsten barrier material on a substrate is provided which includes depositing a tungsten layer on a substrate during a vapor deposition process and exposing the substrate sequentially to a tungsten precursor and a nitrogen precursor to form a tungsten nitride layer on the tungsten layer. Some examples provide that the tungsten layer may be deposited by sequentially exposing the substrate to the tungsten precursor and a reducing gas (e.g., diborane or silane) during an atomic layer deposition process. The tungsten layer may have a thickness of about 50 Å or less and tungsten nitride layer may have an electrical resistivity of about 380 μΩ-cm or less. Other examples provide that a tungsten bulk layer may be deposited on the tungsten nitride layer by a chemical vapor deposition process.

    摘要: A silicon nitride layer is formed over transistor gates while the processing temperature is relatively high, typically at least 500° C., and the pressure is relatively high, typically at least 50 Torr, to obtain a relatively high rate of formation of the silicon nitride layer. Processing conditions are controlled so as to more uniformly form the silicon nitride layer. Generally, the ratio of the NH3 gas to the silicon-containing gas by volume is selected sufficiently high so that, should the surface have a low region between transistor gates which is less than 0.15 microns wide and have a height-to-width ratio of at least 1.0, as well as an entirely flat area of at least 5 microns by 5 microns, the layer forms at a rate of not more than 25% faster on the flat area than on a base of the low region.
