摘要:
A method for forming a tungsten layer on a substrate surface is provided. In one aspect, the method includes positioning the substrate surface in a processing chamber and exposing the substrate surface to a boride. A nucleation layer is then deposited on the substrate surface in the same processing chamber by alternately pulsing a tungsten-containing compound and a reducing gas selected from a group consisting of silane (SiH4), disilane (Si2H6), dichlorosilane (SiCl2H2), derivatives thereof, and combinations thereof. A tungsten bulk fill may then be deposited on the nucleation layer using cyclical deposition, chemical vapor deposition, or physical vapor deposition techniques.

In one embodiment of the invention, a method for forming a tungsten-containing layer on a substrate is provided which includes positioning a substrate containing a barrier layer disposed thereon in a process chamber, exposing the substrate to a first soak process for a first time period and depositing a nucleation layer on the barrier layer by flowing a tungsten-containing precursor and a reductant into the process chamber. The method further includes exposing the nucleation layer to a second soak process for a second time period and depositing a bulk layer on the nucleation layer. In one example, the barrier layer contains titanium nitride, the first and second soak processes independently comprise at least one reducing gas selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, silane, disilane, dichlorosilane, borane, diborane, derivatives thereof and combinations thereof and the nucleation layer may be deposited by an atomic layer deposition process or a pulsed chemical vapor deposition process while the bulk layer may be deposited by a chemical vapor deposition process or a physical vapor deposition process.

Embodiments of the invention provide methods for depositing tungsten materials. In one embodiment, a method for forming a composite tungsten film is provided which includes positioning a substrate within a process chamber, forming a tungsten nucleation layer on the substrate by subsequently exposing the substrate to a tungsten precursor and a reducing gas containing hydrogen during a cyclic deposition process, and forming a tungsten bulk layer during a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PE-CVD) process. The PE-CVD process includes exposing the substrate to a deposition gas containing the tungsten precursor while depositing the tungsten bulk layer over the tungsten nucleation layer. In some example, the tungsten nucleation layer has a thickness of less than about 100 Å, such as about 15 Å. In other examples, a carrier gas containing hydrogen is constantly flowed into the process chamber during the cyclic deposition process.

A lid for a semiconductor system, an exemplary embodiment of which includes a support having opposed first and second opposed surfaces. A valve is coupled to the first surface. A baffle plate is mounted to the second surface. The valve is coupled to the support to direct a flow of fluid along a path in original direction and at an injection velocity. The baffle plate is disposed in the path to disperse the flow of fluid in a plane extending transversely to the original direction. In one embodiment the valve is mounted to a W-seal that is in turn mounted to the first surface of the support.
摘要:
A method of forming a composite tungsten film on a substrate is described. The composite tungsten film comprises sequentially deposited tungsten nucleation layers and tungsten bulk layers. Each of the tungsten nucleation layers and the tungsten bulk layers have a thickness less than about 300 Å. The tungsten nucleation layers and the tungsten bulk layers are formed one over the other until a desired thickness for the composite tungsten film is achieved. The resulting composite tungsten film exhibits good film morphology. The tungsten nucleation layers may be formed using a cyclical deposition process by alternately adsorbing a tungsten-containing precursor and a reducing gas on the substrate. The tungsten bulk layers may be formed using a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process by thermally decomposing a tungsten-containing precursor.
