    摘要: A technique for embedding metal in a microscopic recess provided in the surface of a process object, such as a semiconductor wafer, by plasma sputtering. A film forming step and a diffusion step are alternately performed a plurality of times. The film forming step deposits a small amount of metal film in the recess. The diffusion step moves the deposited metal film towards the bottom portion of the recess. In the film forming step, bias power to be applied to a stage for supporting the wafer is set to a value ensuring that, on the surface of the wafer, the rate of metal deposition due to the drawing-in of metal particles is substantially equal to the rate of the sputter etching by plasma. In the diffusion step, the wafer is maintained at a temperature which permits occurrence of surface diffusion of the metal film deposited in the recess.

    摘要: A method for forming a modified TaC or TaCN film that may be utilized as a barrier film for Cu metallization. The method includes disposing a substrate in a process chamber of a plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) system configured to perform a PEALD process, depositing a TaC or TaCN film on the substrate using the PEALD process, and modifying the deposited TaC or TaCN film by exposing the deposited TaC or TaCN film to plasma excited hydrogen or atomic hydrogen or a combination thereof in order to remove carbon from at least the plasma exposed portion of the deposited TaCN film. The method further includes forming a metal film on the modified TaCN film, where the modified TaCN film provides stronger adhesion to the metal film than the deposited TaCN film. According to one embodiment, a TaCN film is deposited from alternating exposures of TAIMATA and plasma excited hydrogen.
