    Abstract: A method of etching silicon oxide from a trench is described which allows more homogeneous etch rates across a varying pattern on a patterned substrate. The method also provides a more rectilinear profile following the etch process. Methods include a sequential exposure of gapfill silicon oxide. The gapfill silicon oxide is exposed to a local plasma treatment prior to a remote-plasma dry etch which may produce salt by-product on the surface. The local plasma treatment has been found to condition the gapfill silicon oxide such that the etch process proceeds at a more even rate within each trench and across multiple trenches. The salt by-product may be removed by raising the temperature in a subsequent sublimation step.

    Abstract translation: 描述了从沟槽中蚀刻二氧化硅的方法,其允许跨越图案化衬底上的变化图案的更均匀的蚀刻速率。 该方法还提供了在蚀刻工艺之后的更直线的轮廓。 方法包括间隙填充氧化硅的顺序曝光。 在远程等离子体干蚀刻之前,将间隙填充氧化硅暴露于局部等离子体处理,其可以在表面上产生副产物盐。 已经发现局部等离子体处理可以调节填隙氧化硅的间隙,使得蚀刻过程在每个沟槽内并跨越多个沟槽以更均匀的速率进行。 可以通过在随后的升华步骤中升高温度来除去盐副产物。

    Abstract: Methods for depositing a metal containing material formed on a certain material of a substrate using an atomic layer deposition process for semiconductor applications are provided. In one example, a method of forming a metal containing material on a substrate comprises pulsing a first gas precursor comprising a metal containing precursor to a surface of a substrate, pulsing a second gas precursor comprising a carboxylic acid to the surface of the substrate, and forming a metal containing material selectively on a first material of the substrate. In another example, a method of forming a metal containing material on a substrate includes selectively forming a metal containing layer on a silicon material or a metal material on a substrate than on an insulating material on the substrate by an atomic layer deposition process by alternatively supplying a metal containing precursor and a water free precursor to the substrate.
