摘要： Chemical vapor deposition on a semiconductor wafer is obtained in a plasma reactor having a plurality of lamps for radiantly heating the wafer. Calibrated temperature sensing means remote from the wafer is used to control the heating of the wafer. Gases are supplied by way of a plurality of tubes extending radially inwardly from the sides of the chamber. A baffle is provided to form an antechamber which aids in the uniformity of the deposition. The plasma is ignited for less than the whole deposition cycle for deposition of tungsten disilicide.

摘要： Tungsten disilicide (WSi.sub.x) films are deposited onto doped or undoped polysilicon by reducing WF.sub.6 with a mixture of dichlorosilane (SiH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2) and disilane (Si.sub.2 H.sub.6). The addition of disilane provides a mechanism for increasing the resistivity (silicon to tungsten ratio) of the film without adversely affecting the uniformity or deposition rate of the film. A high silicon to tungsten ratio prevents degradation of the silicide film and the underlaying polysilicon film during subsequent growth of an oxide (SiO.sub.2) dielectric. The excess silicon in the film also provides desirable etching and annealing characteristics.

摘要： Apparatus for the nitridiation of a silicon-bearing substrate is disclosed. The apparatus includes a double walled reaction vessel having first and second concentric walls bounding a reaction volume. Temperature of the reaction volume is controlled by resistance heaters located outside the outermost of the two concentric tubes. Plasma electrodes are positioned about the reaction volume and between the two concentric tubes. The ambient between the two tubes is controlled to protect the electrodes from oxidation at the high temperatures to which they are exposed. An rf generator is coupled to the plasma electrodes and is controllable independently from the resistance heaters.
