Abstract: Ampoules for a semiconductor manufacturing precursors and methods of use are described. The ampoules include a container with an inlet port and an outlet port. The inlet port has a showerhead that the end within the container. The showerhead has at least two angled nozzles to direct the flow of gas within the cavity so that the gas flow is not perpendicular to the surface of a liquid within the ampoule.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method of forming a cobalt layer on a substrate disposed in a process chamber, includes: (a) exposing the substrate to a first process gas comprising a cobalt precursor and a hydrogen containing gas to grow a smooth cobalt layer on a first surface of the substrate and on sidewalls and a bottom surface of a feature formed in the first surface of the substrate; (b) purging the first process gas from the process chamber; and (c) annealing the substrate in a hydrogen atmosphere to fill in voids within the cobalt layer to form a void-free cobalt layer. In some embodiments, plasma treating the substrate in gas under low pressure and/or thermally baking the substrate in gas in an atmosphere under a low pressure, may be performed prior to anneal.

Abstract: A cleaning method for a UV chamber involves providing a first cleaning gas, a second cleaning gas, and a purge gas to one or more openings in the chamber. The first cleaning gas may be an oxygen containing gas, such as ozone, to remove carbon residues. The second cleaning gas may be a remote plasma of NF3 and O2 to remove silicon residues. The UV chamber may have two UV transparent showerheads, which together with a UV window in the chamber lid, define a gas volume proximate the UV window and a distribution volume below the gas volume. A purge gas may be flowed through the gas volume while one or more of the cleaning gases is flowed into the distribution volume to prevent the cleaning gases from impinging on the UV transparent window.
Abstract translation: 用于UV室的清洁方法包括向腔室中的一个或多个开口提供第一清洁气体,第二清洁气体和净化气体。 第一清洁气体可以是含氧气体,例如臭氧,以除去碳残留物。 第二清洁气体可以是NF3和O2的远程等离子体以除去硅残余物。 UV室可以具有两个UV透明花洒,其与室盖中的UV窗口一起限定靠近UV窗口的气体体积和低于气体体积的分布体积。 吹扫气体可以流过气体体积,同时一个或多个清洁气体流入分配容积以防止清洁气体撞击到UV透明窗口上。
