    摘要: Degradation of fluorine-doped silica glass low-k inter-layer dielectrics during fabrication is significantly reduced and resolution of submicron features is improved by the formation of dual nature capping/ARC layers on inter-layer dielectric films. The capping/ARC layer is formed in-situ on a fluorine-doped silica glass inter-layer dielectric. The in-situ formation of the capping/ARC layer provides a strongly adhered capping/ARC layer, formed with fewer processing steps than conventional capping and ARC layers.

    摘要: Gap filling between features which are closely spaced is significantly improved by initially depositing a thin conformal layer followed by depositing a layer of gap filling dielectric material. Embodiments include depositing a thin conformal layer of silicon nitride or silicon oxide, as by atomic layer deposition or pulsed layer deposition, into the gap between adjacent gate electrode structures such that it flows into undercut regions of dielectric spacers on side surfaces of the gate electrode structures, and then depositing a layer of BPSG or P-HDP oxide on the thin conformal layer into the gap. Embodiments further include depositing the layers at a temperature less than 430° C., as by depositing a P-HDP oxide after depositing the conformal liner when the gate electrode structures include a layer of nickel silicide.

    摘要: Improved dielectric layers are formed by surface treating the dielectric layer with a silane plasma prior to forming a subsequent layer thereon. Embodiments include forming a trench in a low k dielectric layer and modifying the side surfaces of the trench by subjecting the dielectric to a silane plasma produced in a PECVD chamber. A conductive feature is formed by depositing a conformal barrier layer on the low k dielectric including the treated side surfaces of the dielectric and depositing a conductive layer within the trench.

    摘要: The adhesion of a barrier or capping layer to a Cu or Cu alloy interconnect member is significantly enhanced by treating the exposed surface of the Cu or Cu alloy interconnect member, after CMP, in a reaction chamber with a plasma containing ammonia and nitrogen for a brief period of time to reduce the surface oxide and then introducing silane into the reaction chamber to deposit the barrier layer, e.g., silicon nitride, under high density plasma conditions in the presence of nitrogen. The presence of nitrogen during plasma oxide layer reduction and plasma barrier layer deposition significantly improves adhesion of the barrier layer to the Cu or Cu alloy surface.

    摘要: The present invention facilitates dual bit memory devices and operation of dual bit memory device by providing systems and methods that employ a relatively thin undoped TEOS liner during fabrication, instead of a relatively thick TEOS layer that is conventionally used. Employment of the relatively thin liner facilitates dual bit memory device operation by mitigating charge loss and contact resistance while providing protection against unwanted dopant diffusion. The present invention includes utilizing a relatively thin undoped TEOS liner that is formed on wordlines and portions of a charge trapping dielectric layer. The relatively thin undoped TEOS liner is formed with a thickness of less than about 400 Angstroms so that contact resistance and charge loss are improved and yet providing suitable protection for operation of the device. Additionally, the present invention includes foregoing with an undoped TEOS liner altogether.
