    摘要: The methods and apparatus disclosed herein concern a process that may be referred to as a “soft anneal.” A soft anneal provides various benefits. Fundamentally, it reduces the internal stress in one or more silicon layers of a work piece. Typically, though not necessarily, the internal stress is a compressive stress. A particularly beneficial application of a soft anneal is in reduction of internal stress in a stack containing two or more layers of silicon. Often, the internal stress of a layer or group of layers in a stack is manifest as wafer bow. The soft anneal process can be used to reduce compressive bow in stacks containing silicon. The soft anneal process may be performed without causing the silicon in the stack to become activated.

    摘要: Methods of preparing a carbon doped oxide (CDO) layer of low dielectric constant and low residual stress involving, for instance, providing a substrate to a deposition chamber and exposing it to an organosilicon precursor containing unsaturated C—C bonds or to multiple organic precursors including at least one organosilicon and at least one unsaturated C—C bond are provided. The methods may also involve igniting and maintaining a plasma in a deposition chamber using radio frequency power having high and low frequency components with a high percentage of the low frequency component, and depositing the carbon doped dielectric layer under conditions in which the resulting dielectric layer has a residual stress of not greater than, e.g., about 50 MPa, and a dielectric constant not greater than about 3.
