摘要:
A method for forming a tantalum-containing gate electrode structure by providing a substrate having a high-k dielectric layer thereon in a process chamber and forming a tantalum-containing layer on the high-k dielectric layer in a thermal chemical vapor deposition process by exposing the substrate to a process gas containing TAIMATA (Ta(N(CH3)2)3(NC(C2H5)(CH3)2)) precursor gas. In one embodiment of the invention, the tantalum-containing layer can include a TaSiN layer formed from a process gas containing TAIMATA precursor gas, a silicon containing gas, and optionally a nitrogen-containing gas. In another embodiment of the invention, a TaN layer is formed on the TaSiN layer. The TaN layer can be formed from a process gas containing TAIMATA precursor gas and optionally a nitrogen-containing gas. A computer readable medium executable by a processor to cause a processing system to perform the method and a processing system for forming a tantalum-containing gate electrode structure are also provided.
摘要:
A method is provided for forming a metal layer on a substrate using an intermittent precursor gas flow process. The method includes exposing the substrate to a reducing gas while exposing the substrate to pulses of a metal-carbonyl precursor gas. The process is carried out until a metal layer with desired thickness is formed on the substrate. The metal layer can be formed on a substrate, or alternately, the metal layer can be formed on a metal nucleation layer.

摘要:
A method for depositing metal layers on semiconductor substrates by a thermal chemical vapor deposition (TCVD) process includes introducing a process gas containing a metal carbonyl precursor in a process chamber and depositing a metal layer on a substrate. The TCVD process utilizes a short residence time for the gaseous species in the processing zone above the substrate to form a low-resistivity metal layer. In one embodiment of the invention, the metal carbonyl precursor can be selected from at least one of W(CO)6, Ni(CO)4, Mo(CO)6, Co2(CO)8, Rh4(CO)12, Re2(CO)10, Cr(CO)6, and Ru3(CO)12 precursors. In another embodiment of the invention, a method is provided for depositing low-resistivity W layers at substrate temperatures below about 500° C., by utilizing a residence time less than about 120 msec.

A method for processing a substrate on a ceramic substrate heater in a process chamber. The method includes forming a protective coating on the ceramic substrate heater in the process chamber and processing a substrate on the coated substrate heater. The processing can include providing a substrate to be processed on the coated ceramic substrate heater, performing a process on the substrate by exposing the substrate to a process gas, and removing the processed substrate from the process chamber.
摘要:
A method for depositing metal layers with good surface morphology using sequential flow deposition includes alternately exposing a substrate in a process chamber to a metal-carbonyl precursor gas and a reducing gas. During exposure with the metal-carbonyl precursor gas, a thin metal layer is deposited on the substrate, and subsequent exposure of the metal layer to the reducing gas aids in the removal of reaction by-products from the metal layer. The metal-carbonyl precursor gas and a reducing gas exposure steps can be repeated until a metal layer with a desired thickness is achieved. The metal-carbonyl precursor can, for example, be selected from W(CO)6, Ni(CO)4, Mo(CO)6, Co2(CO)8, Rh4(CO)12, Re2(CO)10, Cr(CO)6, and Ru3(CO)12.
摘要:
Compounds of Ta and N, potentially including further elements, and with a resistivity below about 20 mΩcm and with the elemental ratio of N to Ta greater than about 0.9 are disclosed for use as gate materials in field effect devices. A representative embodiment of such compounds, TaSiN, is stable at typical CMOS processing temperatures on SiO2 containing dielectric layers and high-k dielectric layers, with a workfunction close to that of n-type Si. Metallic Ta—N compounds are deposited by a chemical vapor deposition method using an alkylimidotris(dialkylamido)Ta species, such as tertiaryamylimidotris(dimethylamido)Ta (TAIMATA), as Ta precursor. The deposition is conformal allowing for flexible introduction of the Ta—N metallic compounds into a CMOS processing flow. Devices processed with TaN or TaSiN show near ideal characteristics.
