Methods and apparatus for filling gaps on partially manufactured semiconductor substrates with dielectric material are provided. In certain embodiments, the methods include introducing a first process gas into the processing chamber and accumulating a second process gas in an accumulator maintained at a pressure level substantially highest than that of the processing chamber pressure level. The second process gas is then rapidly introduced from the accumulator into the processing chamber. An excess amount of the second process gas may be provided in the processing chamber during the introduction of the second process gas. Flowable silicon-containing films forms on a surface of the substrate to at least partially fill the gaps.

The invention relates to a method for fabricating a composite structure comprising a layer to be separated by irradiation, the method comprising the formation of a stack containing: a support substrate formed from a material that is at least partially transparent at a determined wavelength; a layer to be separated; and a separation layer interposed between the support substrate and the layer to be separated, the separation layer being adapted to be separated by exfoliation under the action of radiation having a wavelength corresponding to the determined wavelength. Furthermore, the method comprises, during the step for forming the composite step, a treatment step modifying the optical properties in reflection at the interface between the support substrate and the separation layer or on the upper face of the support substrate.

A method for processing a dielectric film on a substrate comprises: depositing a porous dielectric film on a substrate; removing the porogen; stuffing the film with a protective polymeric material; performing at least one intermediate processing step on the stuffed dielectric film; placing the film in a microwave applicator cavity and heating to a first temperature to partially burn out the polymeric material; introducing a controlled amount of a polar solvent into the porosity created by the partial burn out; applying microwave energy to heat the film to a second selected temperature below the boiling point of the solvent to clean away remaining polymeric material; and applying microwave energy to heat the film to a third temperature above the boiling point of the solvent to completely burnout the residues of polymeric material. The interaction of the polar solvent with the microwaves enhances the efficiency of the cleaning process.

摘要:
System and methods for flash heating of materials deposited using atomic layer deposition techniques are disclosed. By flash heating the surface of the deposited material after each or every few deposition cycles, contaminants such as un-reacted precursors and byproducts can be released from the deposited material. A higher quality material is deposited by reducing the incorporation of impurities. A flash heating source is capable of quickly raising the temperature of the surface of a deposited material without substantially raising the temperature of the bulk of the substrate on which the material is being deposited. Because the temperature of the bulk of the substrate is not significantly raised, the bulk acts like a heat sink to aid in cooling the surface after flash heating. In this manner, processing times are not significantly increased in order to allow the surface temperature to reach a suitably low temperature for deposition.
