摘要： A method is provided for in-situ formation of a thin oxidized AlN film on a substrate. The method includes providing the substrate in a process chamber, depositing an AlN film on the substrate, and post-treating the AlN film with exposure to a nitrogen and oxygen-containing gas. The post-treating increases the dielectric constant of the AlN film with substantially no increase in the AlN film thickness. The method can also include pre-treating the substrate prior to AlN deposition, post-annealing the AlN film before or after the post-treatment, or both.

摘要： Thermal processing system and method for forming an oxide layer on substrates. The thermal processing system has a gas injector with first and second fluid lumens confining first and second process gases, such an molecular hydrogen and molecular oxygen, from each other and another fluid lumen that receives the process gases from the first and second fluid lumens. The first and second process gases combine and react in this fluid lumen to form a reaction product. The reaction product is injected from this fluid lumen into a process chamber of the thermal processing system, where substrates are exposed to the reaction product resulting in formation of an oxide layer.

摘要： A method for using a silicon germanium (SiGe) surface layer to integrate a high-k dielectric layer into a semiconductor device. The method forms a SiGe surface layer on a substrate and deposits a high-k dielectric layer on the SiGe surface layer. An oxide layer, located between the high-k dielectric layer and an unreacted portion of the SiGe surface layer, is formed during one or both of deposition of the high-k dielectric layer and an annealing process after deposition of the high-k dielectric layer. The method further includes forming an electrode layer on the high-k dielectric layer.
