摘要: Silicon is selectively oxidized relative to a metal-containing material in a partially-fabricated integrated circuit. In some embodiments, the silicon and metal-containing materials are exposed portions of a partially-fabricated integrated circuit and may form part of, e.g., a transistor. The silicon and metal-containing material are oxidized in an atmosphere containing an oxidant and a reducing agent. In some embodiments, the reducing agent is present at a concentration of about 10 vol % or less.

摘要: Oxygen is selectively removed from metal-containing materials in a partially-fabricated integrated circuit. In some embodiments, the partially-fabricated integrated circuit has exposed silicon and metal-containing materials, e.g., as part of a transistor. The silicon and metal-containing material are oxidized. Oxygen is subsequently removed from the metal-containing material by an anneal in an atmosphere containing a reducing agent. Advantageously, the silicon oxide formed by the silicon oxidation is maintained while oxygen is removed from the metal-containing material, thereby leaving a high quality metal-containing material along with silicon oxide.

摘要: In some embodiments, after depositing conductive material on substrates in a deposition chamber, a reducing gas is introduced into as the chamber in preparation for unloading the substrates. The deposition chamber can be a batch CVD chamber and the deposited material can be a metal nitride, e.g., a transition metal nitride such as titanium metal nitride. As part of the preparation for unloading substrates from the chamber, the substrates may be cooled and the chamber is backfilled with a reducing gas to increase the chamber pressure. It has been found that oxidants can be introduced into the chamber during this time. The introduction of a reducing gas has been found to protect exposed metal-containing films from oxidation during the backfill and/or cooling process. The reducing gas is formed of a reducing agent and a carrier gas, with the reducing agent being a minority component of the reducing gas. By providing a reducing agent, the effects of oxidation on exposed metal-containing films is reduced, therefore enhancing the conductive properties of the metal films.
