摘要:
A multi-step method for depositing ruthenium thin films having high conductivity and superior adherence to the substrate is described. The method includes the deposition of a ruthenium nucleation layer followed by the deposition of a highly conductive ruthenium upper layer. Both layers are deposited using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) employing low deposition rates.

A ferroelectric capacitor device structure, including a ferroelectric stack capacitor comprising a ferroelectric material capacitor element on a substrate containing buried transistor circuitry beneath an insulator layer having a via therein containing a conductive plug to the transistor circuitry, wherein E-fields are structurally confined to the ferroelectric capacitor material element. Such E-fields confinement may be effected by fabrication of the device structure including: (a) patterning the stack capacitor, and depositing a non-ferroelectric, high &egr; material layer over and on the sides of the stack capacitor; (b) forming the stack capacitor without patterning the ferroelectric material and rendering a portion of the material non-ferroelectric in character; or (c) forming the ferroelectric stack capacitor with an aspect ratio, of effective lateral dimension d of the ferroelectric capacitor material element to thickness t of the ferroelectric capacitor material element, that is greater than 5, with d and t being measured in same dimensional units.

A liquid delivery system for delivery of an initially liquid reagent in vaporized form to a chemical vapor deposition reactor arranged in vapor-receiving relationship to the liquid delivery system. The liquid delivery system includes: (a) an elongate vaporization fluid flow passage defining a longitudinal axis and bounded by an enclosing wall to define a cross-section of the fluid flow passage transverse to the longitudinal axis; (b) a vaporization element contained within the fluid flow passage transverse to the longitudinal axis; a source reagent liquid feed passage having a terminus arranged to discharge liquid in a direction perpendicular to a facing surface of the vaporization element; (d) a heating means for heating the vaporization element to a temperature for vaporization of the liquid reagent; and (e) a manifold for flowing vapor formed by vaporization of the liquid reagent on the vaporization element from the fluid flow passage to the chemical vapor deposition reactor, in which the manifold including a diverting means to prevent non-volatile residue from flowing to the chemical vapor deposition reactor. A heater assembly may be employed for heating a component of the liquid delivery system, and the system may utilize a replaceable vaporizer cap removably engageable with the vaporization chamber.
摘要:
A chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method for forming a multi-component oxide layer. There is first provided a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactor chamber. There is then positioned within the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactor chamber a substrate. There is then formed over the substrate a multi-component oxide precursor layer. The multi-component oxide precursor layer is formed from at minimum a first precursor reactant source material and a second precursor reactant source material introduced simultaneously into the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactor chamber in absence of an oxidant reactant source material. There is then oxidized with the oxidant reactant source material within the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactor chamber the multi-component oxide precursor layer formed over the substrate to form a multi-component oxide layer formed over the substrate. The oxidant reactant source material is introduced into the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactor chamber in absence of the first precursor reactant source material and the second precursor reactant source material.

A full fill trench structure is described, including a microelectronic device substrate having a high aspect ratio trench therein and filled with silicon dioxide of a substantially void-free character and substantially uniform density throughout its bulk mass. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor product also is described, involving use of specific silicon precursor compositions for forming substantially void-free and substantially uniform density silicon dioxide material in the trench. The precursor fill composition may include silicon and germanium, to produce a microelectronic device structure including a GeO2/SiO2 trench fill material. A suppressor component may be employed in the precursor fill composition, to eliminate or minimize seam formation in the cured trench fill material.

Apparatus and method for determination of the endpoint of a cleaning process in which cleaning fluid is contacted with a structure to effect cleaning thereof. The cleaning process includes contacting a cleaning fluid with a structure to be cleaned and producing a cleaning effluent having a sensible heat thermal energy characteristic corresponding to extent of cleaning of the structure, disposing an object in the cleaning effluent that interacts with the cleaning effluent to produce a response indicative of the sensible heat thermal energy characteristic of the cleaning effluent, and monitoring such response to determine when the cleaning is completed. An endpointing algorithm and endpoint monitoring are also described, as well as endpoint monitor sensor elements that are useful to determine endpoint conditions in an efficient and reproduceable manner.
