    摘要: In conjunction with sputtering a metal, especially copper, into high aspect-ratio holes in a wafer, an oblique ion milling method in which argon ions or other particles having energies in the range of 200 to 1500 eV are directed to the wafer at between 10 and 35null to the wafer surface to sputter etch material sputter deposited preferentially on the upper corners of the holes. The milling may be performed in the sputter deposition chamber either simultaneously with the deposition or after it or performed afterwards in a separate milling reactor. A plurality of ion sources arranged around the chamber improve angular uniformity or arranged axially improve radial uniformity or vary the angle of incidence. An annular ion source about the chamber axis allows a plasma current loop. Anode layer ion sources and sources composed of copper are advantageous.

    摘要: Provided herein is a method of depositing alpha-tantalum film on a semiconductor wafer by depositing a tantalum nitride film on a wafer; and then depositing a tantalum film over the tantalum nitride film using wafer bias. The tantalum film as deposited is in alpha phase. Also provided is a method of depositing Cu barrier and seed layer on a semiconductor wafer, comprising the steps of depositing a tantalum nitride layer on a wafer; depositing a tantalum layer over the tantalum nitride layer using wafer bias, wherein the resulting tantalum barrier layer is in alpha phase; and then depositing Cu seed layer over the alpha-tantalum barrier layer. Further provided is a method of depositing alpha-tantalum film/layer using two-chamber process, wherein the tantalum nitride and subsequently deposited tantalum films/layers can be deposited in two separate chambers, such as IMP or SIP chambers. Still further provided is a method of depositing alpha-tantalum film by depositing PVD tantalum film on CVD films.
