    Abstract: New and improved microwave plasma assisted reactors, for example chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) reactors, are disclosed. The disclosed microwave plasma assisted reactors operate at pressures ranging from about 10 Torr to about 760 Torr. The disclosed microwave plasma assisted reactors include a movable lower sliding short and/or a reduced diameter conductive stage in a coaxial cavity of a plasma chamber. For a particular application, the lower sliding short position and/or the conductive stage diameter can be variably selected such that, relative to conventional reactors, the reactors can be tuned to operate over larger substrate areas, operate at higher pressures, and discharge absorbed power densities with increased diamond synthesis rates (carats per hour) and increased deposition uniformity.

    Abstract: A method for forming a patterned layer within a microelectronics fabrication. There is first provided a substrate. There is then formed over the substrate a blanket chlorine containing plasma etchable layer. There is then formed upon the blanket chlorine containing plasma etchable layer a blanket hard mask layer. There is then formed upon the blanket hard mask layer a patterned photoresist layer. There is then etched the blanket hard mask layer to form a patterned hard mask layer while employing a first plasma etch method in conjunction with the patterned photoresist layer as a first etch mask layer. There is then etched the blanket chlorine containing plasma etchable layer to form a patterned chlorine containing plasma etchable layer while employing a second plasma etch method in conjunction with at least the patterned hard mask layer as a second etch mask layer. The second plasma etch method employs a second etchant gas composition which upon plasma activation forms a chlorine containing etchant species and a sidewall passivation layer forming species. The patterned chlorine containing plasma etchable layer has incident to the second plasma etch method a sidewall passivation layer formed upon a sidewall of the patterned chlorine containing plasma etchable layer. Finally, there is then stripped from the sidewall of the patterned chlorine containing plasma etchable layer the sidewall passivation layer while sequentially oxidizing the sidewall of the patterned chlorine containing plasma etchable layer to form an oxidized chlorine containing plasma etchable material sidewall layer upon a partially oxidized patterned chlorine containing plasma etchable layer while employing a third plasma etch method. The third plasma etch method employs a third etchant gas composition which upon plasma activation forms an oxygen containing oxidizing species.

    Abstract: The invention is an improved process for forming isolations of uniform thickness in narrow and wide trenches. The process begins by forming a pad layer on a semiconductor substrate. A first barrier layer is formed on the pad layer. The first barrier layer and pad layer are patterned forming openings, thereby exposing the substrate surface. The substrate is then etched through the openings to form shallow trenches in the substrate. The trenches generally falling into two ranges of width: narrow trenches having widths in the range between 0.3 .mu.m and 1.0 .mu.m; and wide trenches having widths greater than 1.0 .mu.m. A thin oxide film is grown on the sidewalls and bottoms of the trenches. A gap-fill dielectric layer is formed on the thin oxide film. A polysilicon layer is grown on the gap-fill dielectric layer. The polysilicon layer acts as a stop during CMP, providing additional protection of the gap-fill dielectric layer in the wide trenches. A planarizing material layer is formed on the polysilicon layer. The planarizing material layer, polysilicon layer and gap-fill dielectric layer are planarized to the level of the first barrier layer using chemical mechanical polishing (CMP). The residual planarizing material is then stripped. The polysilicon layer is oxidized forming a novel second dielectric oxide layer in an oxidizing atmosphere. The dielectric layer is densified, preferably in the same oxidizing atmosphere, forming an isolation layer with uniform thickness in the narrow trenches and the wide trenches. The stress developed during conversion of the polysilicon layer to a novel second dielectric oxide layer compensates for the stress due to densification of the dielectric layer.

    Abstract: A coating based on diamond-like is formed from a plurality of films of diamond-like carbon formed alternatingly over one another and in this respect a film in which no portion or only a much lower portion of doped fluorine is contained. A film in which fluorine or at least fluorine with a higher portion than the film arranged thereunder or thereabove are formed alternatingly over one another. The coating could be manufactured by using a target of pure carbon. Films are deposited on a surface of a substrate by means of a PVD process, with the portion of fluorine contained in doped form. Films are formed alternately being varied by varying a supplied volume flow of a fluorine/carbon compound or sulfur/fluorine compound as a precursor.
