    摘要: Embodiments of the invention generally provide a composition of silicon compounds and methods for using the silicon compounds to deposit a silicon-containing film. The processes employ introducing the silicon compound to a substrate surface and depositing a portion of the silicon compound, the silicon motif, as the silicon-containing film. The ligands are another portion of the silicon compound and are liberated as an in-situ etchant. The in-situ etchants supports the growth of selective silicon epitaxy. Silicon compounds include SiRX6, Si2RX6, Si2RX8, wherein X is independently hydrogen or halogen and R is carbon, silicon or germanium. Silicon compound also include compounds comprising three silicon atoms, fourth atom of carbon, silicon or germanium and atoms of hydrogen or halogen with at least one halogen, as well as, comprising four silicon atoms, fifth atom of carbon, silicon or germanium and atoms of hydrogen or halogen with at least one halogen.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention relate to methods for depositing silicon-containing materials on a substrate. In one example, a method for selectively and epitaxially depositing a silicon-containing material is provided which includes positioning and heating a substrate containing a crystalline surface and a non-crystalline surface within a process chamber, exposing the substrate to a process gas containing neopentasilane, and depositing an epitaxial layer on the crystalline surface. In another example, a method for blanket depositing a silicon-containing material is provide which includes positioning and heating a substrate containing a crystalline surface and feature surfaces within a process chamber and exposing the substrate to a process gas containing neopentasilane and a carbon source to deposit a silicon carbide blanket layer across the crystalline surface and the feature surfaces. Generally, the silicon carbide blanket layer contains a silicon carbide epitaxial layer selectively deposited on the crystalline surface.

    摘要: A low pressure-high hydrogen flow rate process of cleaning a silicon wafer surface is described. The combination of process pressures below about 1 Torr with hydrogen flow rates up to about 3 SLM has been found to remove substantially all oxygen contamination from the silicon wafer surface at process temperatures less than about 800° C. without the use of a reactive gas. After processing at such process pressures and flow rates, even lower levels of oxygen contamination may be achieved by then increasing the process pressure, the hydrogen flow rate, and the process temperature, though the process temperature still remains less than 800° C. The combination of low pressure and high hydrogen flow rate can be achieved using a vacuum pumping speed of at least 30 cubic meters per hour. The present invention also describes an apparatus for cleaning a silicon wafer surface in which the processes of the present invention and other processes can be practiced.

    摘要: According to one aspect of the invention, a method of processing a wafer is provided. The wafer is located in a wafer processing chamber of a system for processing a wafer. A silicon layer is then formed on the wafer while the wafer is located in the wafer processing chamber. The wafer is then transferred from the wafer processing chamber to a loadlock chamber of the system. Communication between the processing chamber and the loadlock chamber is closed off. The wafer is then exposed to ozone gas while located in the loadlock chamber, whereafter the wafer is removed from the loadlock chamber out of the system.
