    摘要: The present invention relates generally to an improved process for providing uniform step coverage on a substrate and planarization of metal layers to form continuous, void-free contacts or vias in sub-half micron applications. In one aspect of the invention, a refractory layer is deposited onto a substrate having high aspect ratio contacts or vias formed thereon. A CVD metal layer is then deposited onto the refractory layer at low temperatures to provide a conformal wetting layer for a PVD metal. Next, a PVD metal is deposited onto the previously formed CVD metal layer at a temperature below that of the melting point temperature of the metal. The resulting CVD/PVD metal layer is substantially void-free. The metallization process is preferably carried out in an integrated processing system that includes both a PVD and CVD processing chamber so that once the substrate is introduced into a vacuum environment, the metallization of the vias and contacts occurs without the formation of an oxide layer over the CVD Al layer.

    摘要: A method and apparatus is provided for improving adherence of metal seed layers to barrier layers in electrochemical deposition techniques. The method includes depositing an adhesion layer continuously or semi-continuously without agglomeration onto a barrier layer prior to depositing a seed layer by controlling the substrate temperature, the chamber pressure, and/or the power delivered to a deposition chamber. Deposition of the adhesion layer prevents layer delamination which leads to agglomeration of the deposited layers and formation of voids in the high aspect ratio features.
