Abstract: A chemical vapor deposition furnace for depositing silicon nitride films, is discloses. The furnace comprising a process chamber elongated in a substantially vertical direction and a wafer boat for supporting a plurality of wafers in the process chamber. A process gas injector is provided inside the process chamber extending in a substantially vertical direction over substantially a wafer boat height and comprising a feed end connected to a source of a silicon precursor and a source of a nitrogen precursor and a plurality of vertically spaced gas injection holes to provide gas from the feed end to the process chamber. The furnace may comprise a purge gas injection system to provide a purge gas into the process chamber near a lower end of the process chamber.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for depositing layers comprising vanadium, nitrogen, and element selected from the list consisting of molybdenum, tantalum, niobium, aluminum, and silicon. The layers are deposited onto a surface of a substrate. The deposition process may be a cyclical deposition process. Exemplary structures in which the layers may be incorporated include field effect transistors, VNAND cells, metal-insulator-metal (MIM) structures, and DRAM capacitors.

Abstract: Amorphous silicon-filled gaps may be formed having no or a low occurrence of voids in the amorphous silicon fill, while maintaining a smooth exposed silicon surface. A gap in a substrate may be filled with amorphous silicon by heating the substrate to a deposition temperature between 300 and 500° C. and providing a feed gas that comprises a first silicon reactant to deposit an amorphous silicon film into the gap with an hydrogen concentration between 0.1 and 10 at. %. The deposited silicon film may subsequently be annealed. After the anneal, any voids may be reduced in size and this reduction in size may occur to such an extent that the voids may be eliminated.

CPC classification number: H01L21/0337
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of forming a semiconductor device by patterning a substrate by providing an amorphous silicon layer on the substrate and forming a hard mask layer on the amorphous silicon layer. The amorphous silicon layer is provided with an anti-crystallization dopant to keep the layer amorphous at increased temperatures (relative to not providing the anti-crystallization dopant). The hard mask layer may comprise silicon and nitrogen.
