    摘要: Semiconductor processing chamber showerheads with contoured faceplates, as well as techniques for producing such faceplates, are provided. Data describing deposition rate as a function of gap distance between a reference showerhead faceplate and a reference substrate may be obtained, as well as data describing deposition rate as a function of location on the substrate when the reference showerhead and the reference substrate are in a fixed arrangement with respect to each other. The two data sets may be used to determine offsets from a reference plane associated with the faceplate that determine a contour profile to be used with the faceplate.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an enhanced sequential atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique suitable for deposition of barrier layers, adhesion layers, seed layers, low dielectric constant (low-k) films, high dielectric constant (high-k) films, and other conductive, semi-conductive, and non-conductive films. This is accomplished by 1) providing a non-thermal or non-pyrolytic means of triggering the deposition reaction; 2) providing a means of depositing a purer film of higher density at lower temperatures; and, 3) providing a faster and more efficient means of modulating the deposition sequence and hence the overall process rate resulting in an improved deposition method. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

    摘要: Various implementations of hybrid ceramic faceplates for substrate processing showerheads are provided. The hybrid ceramic showerhead faceplates may include an electrode embedded within the ceramic material of the faceplate, as well as a pattern of through-holes. The electrode may be fully encapsulated within the ceramic material with respect to the through-holes. In some implementations, a heater element may also be embedded within the hybrid ceramic showerhead faceplate. A DC voltage source may be electrically connected with the hybrid ceramic showerhead faceplate during use. The hybrid ceramic faceplates may be easily removable from the substrate processing showerheads for easy cleaning and faceplate replacement.

    摘要: A system and sequential method for integrated, in-situ modification of a substrate and subsequent atomic layer deposition of a thin film onto the substrate in an evacuated chamber includes introducing at least one feed gas into the chamber; generating a plasma from the feed gas; exposing said substrate to ions and/or radicals formed by the plasma; modulating any ions; reacting the substrate with said modulated ions and/or radicals to remove any contaminants from the substrate and producing a modified substrate. These steps are followed, in-situ, by performing an atomic layer deposition of a thin film onto the modified substrate in the chamber including introducing a first reactant gas into said chamber; adsorbing at least one monolayer of the first reactant gas onto the modified substrate; evacuating any excess first reactant gas from the chamber; introducing at least one additional feed gas into the chamber, generating a second plasma from the additional feed gas; exposing the modified substrate to additional ions and/or radicals formed by the plasma; modulating any additional ions; and reacting the adsorbed monolayer of the first reactant gas with any modulated additional ions and/or radicals to deposit the thin film.

    摘要: A method for rapidly dechucking a wafer from a chuck by applying a voltage that between the wafer and the electrode that performs a hysteretic discharge cycle such that residual charge is removed. The voltage is a decaying oscillating waveform that provides a decaying electric field at the wafer to chuck surface interface. The form of this field at this interface is very important to achieving rapid dechucking of less than 200 mS.
