    摘要: A method and apparatus for removing native oxides from a substrate surface is provided. In one aspect, the apparatus comprises a support assembly. In one embodiment, the support assembly includes a shaft coupled to a disk-shaped body. The disk-shaped body includes an upper surface, a lower surface and a cylindrical outer surface. A flange extends radially outward from the cylindrical outer surface. A fluid channel is formed in the disk-shaped body and is coupled to the heat transfer fluid conduit of the shaft. A plurality of grooves formed in the upper surface are coupled by a hole to the vacuum conduit of the shaft. A gas conduit formed through the disk-shaped body couples the gas conduit of the shaft to the cylindrical outer surface of the disk-shaped body.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention provide methods for depositing a material on a substrate within a processing chamber during a vapor deposition process, such as an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process. In one embodiment, a method is provided which includes sequentially exposing the substrate to a first precursor gas and at least a second precursor gas while depositing a material on the substrate during the ALD process, and continuously or periodically exposing the substrate to a treatment gas prior to and/or during the ALD process. The deposition rate of the material being deposited may be controlled by varying the amount of treatment gas exposed to the substrate. In one example, tantalum nitride is deposited on the substrate and the alkylamino metal precursor gas contains a tantalum precursor, such as pentakis(dimethylamino) tantalum (PDMAT), the second precursor gas contains a nitrogen precursor, such as ammonia, and the treatment gas contains dimethylamine (DMA).

    摘要: Embodiments provide methods for treating a metal silicide contact which includes positioning a substrate having an oxide layer disposed on a metal silicide contact surface within a processing chamber, cleaning the metal silicide contact surface to remove the oxide layer while forming a cleaned silicide contact surface during a cleaning process, and exposing the cleaned silicide contact surface to a silicon-containing compound to form a recovered silicide contact surface during a regeneration process. In some examples, the cleaning of the metal silicide contact surface includes cooling the substrate to an initial temperature of less than 65° C., forming reactive species from a gas mixture of ammonia and nitrogen trifluoride by igniting a plasma, exposing the oxide layer to the reactive species to form a thin film, and heating the substrate to about 100° C. or greater to remove the thin film from the substrate while forming the cleaned silicide contact surface.
