摘要: Methods for depositing a dielectric material using RF bias pulses along with remote plasma source deposition for manufacturing semiconductor devices, particularly for filling openings with high aspect ratios in semiconductor applications are provided. For example, a method of depositing a dielectric material includes providing a gas mixture into a processing chamber having a substrate disposed therein, forming a remote plasma in a remote plasma source and delivering the remote plasma to an interior processing region defined in the processing chamber, applying a RF bias power to the processing chamber in pulsed mode, and forming a dielectric material in an opening defined in a material layer disposed on the substrate in the presence of the gas mixture and the remote plasma.

摘要: Methods for forming fin structures with desired profile and dimensions for three dimensional (3D) stacking of fin field effect transistor (FinFET) for semiconductor chips are provided. The methods include a structure reshaping process to reshape a shaped structure, such as a diamond like structure formed on a fin structure. In one embodiment, a method for forming a structure on a substrate includes performing an epitaxial deposition process to form a shaped structure on a fin structure disposed on a substrate, performing a mask layer deposition process to form a mask layer having a first width on the shaped structure, and performing a mask trimming process to trim the mask layer from the first width from a second width.

摘要: Methods of forming dielectric layers using high-density plasma chemical vapor deposition are described. Dielectric layers are formed over metal films. The metal film is present on a substrate prior to entering the high-density plasma processing chamber. The metal film is processed to remove oxidation and optionally to improve adhesion of the dielectric layer on the metal film.

摘要: A deposited amorphous carbon film includes at least 95% carbon. A percentage of sp3 carbon-carbon bonds present in the amorphous carbon film exceeds 30%, and a hydrogen content of the amorphous carbon film is less than 5%. A process of depositing amorphous carbon on a workpiece includes positioning the workpiece within a process chamber and positioning a magnetron assembly adjacent to the process chamber. The magnetron assembly projects a magnetic field into the process chamber. The method further includes providing a carbon target such that the magnetic field extends through the carbon target toward the workpiece. The method further includes providing a source gas to the process chamber, and providing pulses of DC power to a plasma formed from the source gas within the process chamber. The pulses of DC power are supplied in pulses of 40 microseconds or less, that repeat at a frequency of at least 4 kHz.

摘要: A substrate carrier with contacts is described that is balanced for thermal stress. In one example workpiece carrier has a rigid substrate configured to support a workpiece to be carried for processing, a first dielectric layer over the substrate, an electrostatic conductive electrode over the first dielectric layer to electrostatically hold the workpiece to be carried, a second dielectric layer over the electrode to electrically isolate the workpiece from the electrode, and a third dielectric layer under the substrate to counter thermal stress applied to the substrate by the first and second dielectric layers.

摘要: Methods of conformally depositing silicon oxide layers on patterned substrates are described. The patterned substrates are plasma treated such that subsequently deposited silicon oxide layers may deposit uniformly on walls of deep closed trenches. The technique is particularly useful for through-substrate vias (TSVs) which require especially deep trenches. The trenches may be closed at the bottom and deep to enable through-substrate vias (TSVs) by later removing a portion of the backside substrate (near to the closed end of the trench). The conformal silicon oxide layer thickness on the sidewalls near the bottom of a trench is greater than or about 70% of the conformal silicon oxide layer thickness near the top of the trench in embodiments of the invention. The improved uniformity of the silicon oxide layer enables a subsequently deposited conducting plug to be thicker and offer less electrical resistance.
