    摘要: A method and a processing tool are provided for forming a metal layer with improved morphology on a substrate. The method includes pre-treating the substrate by exposing the substrate to excited species in a plasma, exposing the pre-treated substrate to a process gas containing a metal-carbonyl precursor, and forming a metal layer on the pre-treated substrate surface by a chemical vapor deposition process. The metal-carbonyl precursor can contain W(CO)6, Ni(CO)4, Mo(CO)6, CO2(CO)8, Rh4(CO)12, Re2(CO)10, Cr(CO)6, or Ru3(CO)12 or any combination thereof, and the metal layer can contain W, Ni, Mo, Co, Rh, Re, Cr, or Ru, or any combination thereof, respectively.

    摘要: In embodiments of the current invention, methods of combinatorial processing and a test chip for use in these methods are described. These methods and test chips enable the efficient development of materials, processes, and process sequence integration schemes for semiconductor manufacturing processes. In general, the methods simplify the processing sequence of forming devices or partially formed devices on a test chip such that the devices can be tested immediately after formation. The immediate testing allows for the high throughput testing of varied materials, processes, or process sequences on the test chip. The test chip has multiple site isolated regions where each of the regions is varied from one another and the test chip is designed to enable high throughput testing of the different regions.

    摘要: A masking layer is formed on a dielectric region of an electronic device so that, during subsequent formation of a capping layer on electrically conductive regions of the electronic device that are separated by the dielectric region, the masking layer inhibits formation of capping layer material on or in the dielectric region. The capping layer can be formed selectively on the electrically conductive regions or non-selectively; in either case (particularly in the latter), capping layer material formed over the dielectric region can subsequently be removed, thus ensuring that capping layer material is formed only on the electrically conductive regions. Silane-based materials, such as silane-based SAMs, can be used to form the masking layer. The capping layer can be formed of an electrically conductive material (e.g., a cobalt alloy, a nickel alloy, tungsten, tantalum, tantalum nitride), a semiconductor material, or an electrically insulative material, and can be formed using any appropriate process, including conventional deposition processes such as electroless deposition, chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition or atomic layer deposition.

    摘要: A deposition member adapted for discharging a deposition material during a deposition process can acquire a coating during the deposition. Such an initial emissivity value is selected for the deposition member, before any of the coating became deposited, that the emissivity of the deposition member remains substantially unchanged during the deposition process. In a representative embodiment the deposition member is coated with an appropriate thin layer for achieving the selected emissivity value.

    摘要: A method for depositing metal layers on semiconductor substrates by a thermal chemical vapor deposition (TCVD) process includes introducing a process gas containing a metal carbonyl precursor in a process chamber and depositing a metal layer on a substrate. The TCVD process utilizes a short residence time for the gaseous species in the processing zone above the substrate to form a low-resistivity metal layer. In one embodiment of the invention, the metal carbonyl precursor can be selected from at least one of W(CO)6, Ni(CO)4, Mo(CO)6, Co2(CO)8, Rh4(CO)12, Re2(CO)10, Cr(CO)6, and Ru3(CO)12 precursors. In another embodiment of the invention, a method is provided for depositing low-resistivity W layers at substrate temperatures below about 500° C., by utilizing a residence time less than about 120 msec.
