摘要:
A method and apparatus for depositing a tantalum nitride barrier layer is provided for use in an integrated processing tool. The tantalum nitride is deposited by atomic layer deposition. The tantalum nitride is removed from the bottom of features in dielectric layers to reveal the conductive material under the deposited tantalum nitride. Optionally, a tantalum layer may be deposited by physical vapor deposition after the tantalum nitride deposition. Optionally, the tantalum nitride deposition and the tantalum deposition may occur in the same processing chamber.

In one example of the invention, a method for depositing a tantalum-containing material on a substrate in a process chamber is provided which includes exposing the substrate to a tantalum precursor that contains TAIMATA and to at least one secondary precursor to deposit a tantalum-containing material during an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process. The ALD process is repeated until the tantalum-containing material is deposited having a predetermined thickness. Usually, the TAIMATA is preheated prior to pulsing the tantalum precursor into the process chamber. Subsequently, a metal layer, such as tungsten or copper, may be deposited on the tantalum-containing material. The tantalum-containing material may contain tantalum, tantalum nitride, tantalum silicon nitride, tantalum boron nitride, tantalum phosphorous nitride, or tantalum oxynitride. The tantalum-containing material may be deposited as a barrier or adhesion layer within a via or as a gate electrode material within a source/drain device.

A method of ruthenium layer formation for high aspect ratios, interconnect features is described. The ruthenium layer is formed using a cyclical deposition process. The cyclical deposition process comprises alternately adsorbing a ruthenium-containing precursor and a reducing gas on a substrate structure. The adsorbed ruthenium-containing precursor reacts with the adsorbed reducing gas to form the ruthenium layer on the substrate.

In one embodiment, a method for forming a material on a substrate is provided which includes positioning a substrate containing a dielectric material having vias formed therein within a process chamber, forming a barrier layer within the vias and on the dielectric material during a barrier deposition process, forming a ruthenium layer on the barrier layer during a ruthenium deposition process, and filling the vias with a copper material during a copper deposition process. The copper material may be formed by depositing a copper bulk layer over a copper seed layer. The method further provides that the ruthenium layer may be formed by an atomic layer deposition process (ALD) or a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process and the copper material may be formed by an electroless chemical plating process, an electroplating process, a chemical vapor deposition process, an ALD process and/or a PVD process.

In one embodiment, a method for forming a tantalum-containing material on a substrate is provided which includes heating a liquid tantalum precursor containing tertiaryamylimido-tris(dimethylamido) tantalum (TAIMATA) to a temperature of at least 30° C. to form a tantalum precursor gas and exposing the substrate to a continuous flow of a carrier gas during an atomic layer deposition process. The method further provides exposing the substrate to the tantalum precursor gas by pulsing the tantalum precursor gas into the carrier gas and adsorbing the tantalum precursor gas on the substrate to form a tantalum precursor layer thereon. Subsequently, the tantalum precursor layer is exposed to at least one secondary element-containing gas by pulsing the secondary element-containing gas into the carrier gas while forming a tantalum barrier layer on the substrate. The tantalum barrier layer may contain tantalum, tantalum nitride, tantalum silicon nitride, tantalum boron nitride, tantalum phosphorous nitride or tantalum oxynitride.
