    摘要: The embodiments fill the needs of systems and processes that perform substrate surface treatment to provide homogenous, clean, and sometimes activated surface in order to provide good adhesion between layers to improve metal migration and void propagation. In an exemplary embodiment, a proximity head for treating a substrate surface is provided. The proximity head is configured to dispense a treatment gas to treat an active process region of a substrate surface under the proximity head. The proximity head covers the action process region of the substrate surface and the proximity head includes at least one vacuum channel to pull excess treatment gas from a reaction volume between the proximity head and the substrate. The proximity head has an excitation chamber to excite the treatment gas before the treatment gas being dispensed on the active process region portion of the substrate surface.

    摘要: A method and system for depositing films on a substrate for copper interconnect in an integrated system is provided. The method includes moving the substrate into a processing chamber having a plurality of proximity heads. Selected ones of the proximity heads is configured to perform at least one of surface treatments and atomic layer depositions (ALDs). The processing chamber is part of the integrated system. Within the processing chamber, barrier layer deposition is performed over a surface of the substrate using one of the plurality of proximity heads functioning to perform barrier layer ALD. In addition, the method includes moving the substrate from the processing chamber, through a transfer module of the integrated system and into a processing module for performing copper seed layer deposition. The processing module for performing copper seed layer deposition is part of the integrated system. Within the processing module for performing copper seed layer deposition, copper seed layer deposition is performed over the surface of the substrate. The integrated system enables controlled-ambient transitions within the integrated system to limit exposure of the substrate to uncontrolled ambient conditions outside of the integrated system.

    摘要: A proximity heads for dispensing reactants and purging gas to deposit a thin film by Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) includes a plurality of sides. Extending over a portion of the substrate region and being spaced apart from the portion of the substrate region when present, the proximity head is rotatable so as to place each side in a direction of the substrate region, and is disposed in a vacuum chamber coupled to a carrier gas source to sustain a pressure for the proximity head during operation. Each side of the proximity head includes a gas conduit through which the reactant gas and the purging gas are sequentially dispensed, and at least two separate vacuum conduits on each side of the gas conduit to pull excess reactant gas, purging gas, or deposition byproducts from a reaction volume between a surface of the proximity head facing the substrate and the substrate.

    摘要: An apparatus for cleaning a substrate includes an application unit having a top inlet conduit and a bottom plate section. The top inlet conduit has an opening for receiving a non-Newtonian fluid and the bottom plate section has an opening through which the non-Newtonian fluid can flow. The bottom plate section is perpendicular to the top inlet conduit, and a surface of the bottom plate section is disposed above and parallel to a surface of a substrate so as to define a gap between the surface of the bottom plate section and the surface of the substrate. The defined gap has a height configured to create a flow of the non-Newtonian fluid in which a portion of the flow exhibits plug flow, and the plug flow moves over the surface of the substrate to remove particles from the surface of the substrate.

    摘要: An apparatus and method are disclosed in which a semiconductor substrate having a surface containing contaminants is cleaned or otherwise subjected to chemical treatment using a foam. The semiconductor wafer is supported either on a stiff support (or a layer of foam) and foam is provided on the opposite surface of the semiconductor wafer while the semiconductor wafer is supported. The foam contacting the semiconductor wafer is pressurized using a form to produce a jammed foam. Relative movement between the form and the semiconductor wafer. such as oscillation parallel and/or perpendicular to the top surface of the semiconductor wafer. is then induced while the jammed foam is in contact with the semiconductor wafer to remove the undesired contaminants and/or otherwise chemically treat the surface of the semiconductor wafer using the foam.
