    摘要: Catalyzed atomic layer deposition from a reduced number of precursors is described. A deposition precursor contains silicon, oxygen and a catalytic ligand. A hydroxyl-terminated substrate is exposed to the deposition precursor to form a silicon bridge bond between two surface-bound oxygens. The surface-bound oxygens were part of two surface-bound hydroxyl groups and the adsorption of the deposition precursor liberates the hydrogens. The silicon atom is also chemically-bound to one or two additional oxygen atoms which were already chemically-bound to the silicon within a same deposition precursor molecule. At least one of the additional oxygen atoms is further chemically-bound to the catalytic ligand either directly or by way of a hydrocarbon chain. Further exposure of the substrate to moisture (H2O) results in displacement of the additional oxygen which are replaced by hydroxyl groups from the moisture. The surface is again hydroxyl-terminated and the process may be repeated. The catalytic nature of the reaction enables the deposition to occur at low substrate temperatures. The chemically-embedded nature of the catalyst increases the deposition per cycle thereby reducing the number of precursor exposures to grow a film of the same thickness.

    摘要: Methods are described for forming and treating a flowable silicon-carbon-and-nitrogen-containing layer on a semiconductor substrate. The silicon and carbon constituents may come from a silicon-and-carbon-containing precursor while the nitrogen may come from a nitrogen-containing precursor that has been activated to speed the reaction of the nitrogen with the silicon-and-carbon-containing precursor at lower deposition temperatures. The initially-flowable silicon-carbon-and-nitrogen-containing layer is ion implanted to increase etch tolerance, prevent shrinkage, adjust film tension and/or adjust electrical characteristics. Ion implantation may also remove components which enabled the flowability, but are no longer needed after deposition. Some treatments using ion implantation have been found to decrease the evolution of properties of the film upon exposure to atmosphere.
