    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: A valve for sealing a gas feedthrough is provided herein. In some embodiments, a valve for sealing off a gas feedthrough includes a valve body having an upper portion and a lower portion, wherein the upper portion includes a central opening, and wherein the lower portion includes an inner volume; a coupling member disposed within the inner volume and having a central conduit, wherein the inner volume is defined by an upper surface of the coupling member and an upper wall and sidewalls of the lower portion; a sealing member having a shaft extending through the central opening and a flange extending radially outward from the shaft, wherein the flange includes an upper surface which opposes the upper wall of the lower portion; and a biasing element disposed between the sealing member and coupling member to bias the sealing member against the upper wall.
