摘要:
Methods and apparatus of the present invention deposit fluorinated silicate glass (FSG) in such a manner that it strongly adheres to an overlying or underlying barrier layer or etch stop layer, and has a lower dielectric constant, among other benefits. In one embodiment, silicon tetrafluoride (SiF4), oxygen (O2), and argon (Ar) are used as the reactant gases, with the ratio of oxygen to silicon controlled to be at between about 2:1 to 6:1. Such O2 levels help reduce the amount of degradation of ceramic chamber components otherwise caused by the elimination of silane from the process recipe.

摘要:
A method of forming tungsten suicide (WSix) films is provided. The tungsten suicide (WSix) films are formed by reacting a tungsten source with a silicon source at a temperature greater than about 600null C. The as-deposited tungsten suicide (WSix) layer has a resistivity less than about 60 nullnull-cm.
