    摘要: Embodiments of the invention provide processes to selectively form a cobalt layer on a copper surface over exposed dielectric surfaces. In one embodiment, a method for capping a copper surface on a substrate is provided which includes positioning a substrate within a processing chamber, wherein the substrate contains a contaminated copper surface and a dielectric surface, exposing the contaminated copper surface to a reducing agent while forming a copper surface during a pre-treatment process, exposing the substrate to a cobalt precursor gas to selectively form a cobalt capping layer over the copper surface while leaving exposed the dielectric surface during a vapor deposition process, and depositing a dielectric barrier layer over the cobalt capping layer and the dielectric surface. In another embodiment, a deposition-treatment cycle includes performing the vapor deposition process and subsequently a post-treatment process, which deposition-treatment cycle may be repeated to form multiple cobalt capping layers.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention provide methods for forming materials on a substrate used for metal gate and other applications. In one embodiment, a method includes forming a cobalt stack over a barrier layer disposed on a substrate by depositing a cobalt layer during a deposition process, exposing the cobalt layer to a plasma to form a plasma-treated cobalt layer during a plasma process, and repeating the cobalt deposition process and the plasma process to form the cobalt stack containing a plurality of plasma-treated cobalt layers. The method further includes exposing the cobalt stack to an oxygen source gas to form a cobalt oxide layer from an upper portion of the cobalt stack during a surface oxidation process and heating the remaining portion of the cobalt stack to a temperature within a range from about 300° C. to about 500° C. to form a crystalline cobalt film during a thermal annealing crystallization process.

    摘要: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method of forming a dielectric film in trenches of a substrate. The utilization of the ALD process and introduction of an inhibitor material onto features defining the trenches and into the trenches provides for suppression of forming the dielectric film near the top surface of the features in the trenches. The dielectric film is formed via an ALD process. The ALD process includes sequentially exposing the substrate to an inhibitor material, a first precursor, a purge gas, an oxygen-containing precursor, and the purge gas during an ALD cycle, and repeating the ALD cycle to deposit the dielectric film.
