Abstract:
A method for selectively depositing silicon nitride on a first material relative to a second material is disclosed. An exemplary method includes performing one or more deposition cycles and performing a treatments process.
Abstract:
A shower plate adapted to be installed in a plasma deposition apparatus including a gas inlet port, a shower head, a reaction chamber and an exhaust duct, the shower plate being adapted to be attached to the showerhead and having: a front surface adapted to face the gas inlet port; and a rear surface opposite to the front surface, wherein the shower plate has multiple apertures each extending from the front surface to the rear surface, and wherein the shower plate further has at least one aperture extending from the front surface side of the shower plate to the exhaust duct.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a SiN film on a substrate. Plasma treatment is applied to the SiN film using a He-containing gas.
Abstract:
In accordance with some embodiments herein, methods and apparatuses for deposition of thin films are provided. In some embodiments, a plurality of stations is provided, in which each station provides a different reactant or combination of reactants. The stations can be in gas isolation from each other, and the substrate can be contacted with different reactants at different temperatures so as to minimize or prevent undesired gas phase reactions, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and/or atomic layer deposition (ALD) reactions between the different reactants or combinations of reactants.
Abstract:
In accordance with some embodiments herein, methods and apparatuses for deposition of thin films are provided. In some embodiments, a deposition reactor is provided comprising: a first station configured to contain a substrate, the first station comprising a first heating element; a second station configured to contain the substrate, the second station comprising a second heating element, wherein the first station is configured to contact the substrate with a first reactant in the first station in substantial isolation from the second station such that a layer of the first reactant is deposited on the substrate, wherein the first heating element is configured to heat the first station to a first station temperature during contacting of the substrate with the first reactant, wherein the second station is configured to contact the substrate with a second reactant in the second station substantially in the absence of the first reactant, and wherein the second heating element is configured to heat the second station to a second station temperature during contacting of the substrate with the second reactant, a transfer system; and a controller set to control a cycle of: moving the substrate via the transfer system to the first station, directing the first station to contact the substrate with the first reactant at the first station temperature, moving the substrate to the second station via the transfer system, and directing the second station to contact the substrate with the second reactant at the second station temperature, and further set to repeat the cycle until a film of desired thickness is formed on a surface of the substrate.
