摘要:
The present invention provides a method for improving a physical property of a substrate, a method for manufacturing an integrated circuit, and an integrated circuit manufactured using the aforementioned method. In one aspect of the invention, the method for improving a physical property of a substrate includes subjecting the substrate to effects of a plasma process 830, wherein the substrate has a physical property defect value associated therewith subsequent to the plasma process. The method further includes exposing the substrate to an ultraviolet (UV) energy source 840 to improve the physical property defect value.

摘要:
Maintaining a reactor chamber of a chemical vapor deposition system includes depositing layers on an inner surface of the reactor chamber, where the layers form an accumulation layer. When the accumulation layer reaches a specified thickness, a plasma clean cycle is performed by introducing cleaning gas into the reactor chamber. The volume of the cleaning gas used during one or more plasma clean cycles is calculated, where the volume indicates the volume of cleaning gas introduced into the reactor chamber. A notification is provided when the volume of the cleaning gas used during the plasma clean cycles has reached a predetermined volume.
