    摘要: One aspect of the invention is directed toward a method of forming a conductive layer on a microfeature workpiece. In one embodiment, the method comprises depositing an electrically conductive material onto a first microfeature workpiece in a vapor deposition process by flowing a gas into a plasma zone of a vapor deposition chamber and transmitting an energy into the plasma zone via a transmitting window. The energy transmitted through the window and into the plasma zone produces a plasma from the gas. The energy, for example, can be microwave radiation. The plasma produced from the gas forms a conductive layer on the workpiece in either a CVD or an ALD process. The process of forming the conductive layer on the workpiece concomitantly forms a secondary deposit of a residual film on the window. The residual film has a first transmissivity to the energy used to generate the plasma. This embodiment of the method further includes changing the residual film on the window to have a second transmissivity to the energy. The second transmissivity, for example, can be less than the first transmissivity such that changing the residual film to have the second transmissivity increases the amount of plasma energy that can propagate through the window and into the plasma zone.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an enhanced sequential atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique suitable for deposition of barrier layers, adhesion layers, seed layers, low dielectric constant (low-k) films, high dielectric constant (high-k) films, and other conductive, semi-conductive, and non-conductive films. This is accomplished by 1) providing a non-thermal or non-pyrolytic means of triggering the deposition reaction; 2) providing a means of depositing a purer film of higher density at lower temperatures; and, 3) providing a faster and more efficient means of modulating the deposition sequence and hence the overall process rate resulting in an improved deposition method.
