摘要: Certain embodiments pertain to local interconnects formed by subtractive patterning of blanket layer of tungsten or other conductive material. The grain sizes of tungsten or other deposited metal can be grown to relatively large dimensions, which results in increased electrical conductivity due to, e.g., reduced electron scattering at grain boundaries as electrons travel from one grain to the next during conduction.

摘要: Methods of filling high aspect ratio features provided on partially manufactured semiconductor substrates with tungsten-containing materials are provided. In certain embodiments, the methods include partial filling a high aspect ratio feature with a layer of tungsten-containing materials and selective removal of the partially filled materials from the feature cavity. Substrates processed using these methods have improved step coverage of the tungsten-containing materials filled into the high aspect ratio features and reduced seam sizes.

摘要: Methods and apparatuses for filling high aspect ratio features with tungsten-containing materials in a substantially void-free manner are provided. In certain embodiments, the method involves depositing an initial layer of a tungsten-containing material followed by selectively removing a portion of the initial layer to form a remaining layer, which is differentially passivated along the depth of the high-aspect ration feature. In certain embodiments, the remaining layer is more passivated near the feature opening than inside the feature. The method may proceed with depositing an additional layer of the same or other material over the remaining layer. The deposition rate during this later deposition operation is slower near the feature opening than inside the features due to the differential passivation of the remaining layer. This deposition variation, in turn, may aid in preventing premature closing of the feature and facilitate filling of the feature in a substantially void free manner.
摘要翻译: 提供了以基本上无空隙的方式用含钨材料填充高纵横比特征的方法和装置。 在某些实施方案中,该方法包括沉积含钨材料的初始层,然后选择性地去除初始层的一部分以形成沿着高纵横比特征的深度差异钝化的剩余层。 在某些实施例中,剩余层在特征开口附近比在特征内更加钝化。 该方法可以继续在剩余层上沉积相同或其它材料的附加层。 由于剩余层的差分钝化,在该后续沉积操作期间的沉积速率在特征开口附近比在特征内部的沉积速率更慢。 这种沉积变化又可以有助于防止特征的过早闭合并且有助于以基本无空隙的方式填充特征。

摘要: A tungsten nucleation film is formed on a surface of a semiconductor substrate by alternatively providing to that surface, reducing gases and tungsten-containing gases. Each cycle of the method provides for one or more monolayers of the tungsten film. The film is conformal and has improved step coverage, even for a high aspect ratio contact hole.

摘要: Methods and apparatuses for filling high aspect ratio features with tungsten-containing materials are provided. The method involves providing a partially fabricated semiconductor substrate and depositing a tungsten-containing layer on the substrate surface to partially fill one or more high aspect ratio features. The method continues with selective removal of a portion of the deposited layer such that more material is removed near the feature opening than inside the feature. In certain embodiments, removal may be performed at mass-transport limited conditions with less etchant available inside the feature than near its opening. Etchant species are activated before being introduced into the processing chamber and/or while inside the chamber. In specific embodiments, recombination of the activated species is substantially limited and/or controlled during removal, e.g., operation is performed at less than about 250° C. and/or less than about 5 Torr.
