摘要: Various reactors for growing thin films on a substrate by subjecting the substrate to alternately repeated surface reactions of vapor-phase reactants are disclosed. In one embodiment, the reactor comprises a reaction chamber. A showerhead plate divides the reaction chamber into upper and lower parts. A first precursor is directed towards the lower half of the reaction chamber and a second precursor is directed towards the upper half of the reaction chamber. The substrate is disposed within the lower half of the reaction chamber. The showerhead plate includes plurality passages such that the upper half is in communication with the lower half of the reaction chamber. In another arrangement, the upper half of the reaction chamber defines a plasma cavity in which in-situ radicals are formed. In yet another arrangement, the reaction chamber includes a shutter plate, which is configured to selectively open and close the passages in the showerhead plate. In other arrangements, the showerhead plate is arranged to modify the local flow patterns of the gases flowing through the reaction chamber.

摘要: Method and structures are provided for conformal lining of dual damascene structures in integrated circuits, and particularly of openings formed in porous materials. Trenches and contact vias are formed in insulating layers. The pores on the sidewalls of the trenches and vias are blocked, and then the structure is exposed to alternating chemistries to form monolayers of a desired lining material. In exemplary process flows chemical or physical vapor deposition (CVD or PVD) of a sealing layer blocks the pores due to imperfect conformality. An alternating process can also be arranged by selection of pulse separation and/or pulse duration to achieve reduced conformality relative to a self-saturating, self-limiting atomic layer deposition (ALD) process. In still another arrangement, layers with anisotropic pore structures can be sealed by selectively melting upper surfaces. Blocking is followed by a self-limiting, self-saturating atomic layer deposition (ALD) reactions without significantly filling the pores.

摘要: A method is proposed for improving the adhesion between a diffusion barrier film and a metal film. Both the diffusion barrier film and the metal film can be deposited in either sequence onto a semiconductor substrate. A substrate comprising a first film, which is one of a diffusion barrier film or a metal film, with the first film being exposed at least at part of the surface area of the substrate, is exposed to an oxygen-containing reactant to create a surface termination of about one monolayer of oxygen-containing groups or oxygen atoms on the exposed parts of the first film. Then the second film, which is the other one of a diffusion barrier film and a metal film, is deposited onto the substrate. Furthermore, an oxygen bridge structure is proposed, the structure comprising a diffusion barrier film and a metal film having an interface with the diffusion barrier film, wherein the interface comprises a monolayer of oxygen atoms.

摘要: A dielectric film is formed by atomic layer deposition to conformally fill a narrow, deep trench for device isolation. The method of the illustrated embodiments includes alternately pulsing vapor-phase reactants in a string of cycles, where each cycle deposits no more than about a monolayer of material, capable of completely filling high aspect ratio trenches. Additionally, the trench-fill material composition can be tailored by processes described herein, particularly to match the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) to that of the surrounding substrate within which the trench is formed. Mixed phases of mullite and silica have been found to meet the goals of device isolation and matched CTE. The described process includes mixing atomic layer deposition cycles of aluminum oxide and silicon oxide in ratios selected to achieve the desired composition of the isolation material, namely on the order of 30% alumina and 70% silicon oxide by weight.
