    摘要: A method and system for improved delivery of a solid precursor. A chemically inert coating is provided on system components in a precursor delivery line to reduce decomposition of a relatively unstable precursor vapor in the precursor delivery line, thereby allowing increased delivery of the precursor vapor to a processing zone for depositing a layer on a substrate. The solid precursor can, for example, be a ruthenium carbonyl or a rhenium carbonyl. The inert coating can, for example, be a CxFy-containing polymer, such as polytetrafluoroethylene or ethylene-chlorotrifluoroethylene. Other benefits of using an inert coating include easy periodic cleaning of deposits from the precursor delivery line.

    摘要: A method for depositing metal layers, such as Ruthenium, on semiconductor substrates by a thermal chemical vapor deposition (TCVD) process includes introducing a metal carbonyl precursor in a deposition system, and depositing a metal layer from the metal carbonyl 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 the deposition system, the metal carbonyl is evaporated in a solid precursor evaporation system, and the precursor vapor is transported to the process chamber via a vapor delivery system. Further, an in-situ cleaning system is coupled to the vapor delivery system in order to perform periodic cleaning of the deposition system. Periodic in-situ cleaning permits achieving a greater deposition rate by operating the deposition system at higher temperature where precursor vapor can decompose and potentially deposit on surfaces of the deposition system.

    摘要: A method and system for refurbishing a metal carbonyl precursor. The method includes providing a metal precursor vaporization system containing a metal carbonyl precursor containing un-reacted and partially reacted metal carbonyl precursor, flowing a CO-containing gas through the metal precursor vaporization system to a precursor collection system in fluid communication with the metal precursor vaporization system to transfer the un-reacted metal carbonyl precursor vapor to the precursor collection system, and collecting the transferred metal carbonyl precursor in the precursor collection system. A method is provided for monitoring at least one metal carbonyl precursor parameter to determine a status of the metal carbonyl precursor and the need for refurbishing the metal carbonyl precursor.

    摘要: A method for depositing a Ru metal layer on a patterned substrate from a film precursor vapor delivered from a multi-tray film precursor evaporation system. The method comprises providing a patterned substrate in a process chamber of a deposition system, and forming a process gas containing Ru3(CO)12 precursor vapor and a carrier gas comprising CO gas. The process gas is formed by: providing a solid Ru3(CO)12 precursor in a plurality of spaced trays within a precursor evaporation system, wherein each tray is configured to support the solid precursor and wherein the plurality of spaced trays collectively provide a plurality of surfaces of solid precursor; heating the solid precursor in the plurality of spaced trays in the precursor evaporation system to a temperature greater than about 60° C. and maintaining the solid precursor at the temperature to form the vapor; and flowing the carrier gas in contact with the plurality of surfaces of the solid precursor during the heating to capture Ru3(CO)12 precursor vapor in the carrier gas as the vapor is being formed at the plurality of surfaces. The method further includes transporting the process gas from the precursor evaporation system to the process chamber and exposing the patterned substrate to the process gas to deposit a Ru metal layer on the patterned substrate by a thermal CVD.

    摘要: A high conductance, multi-tray film precursor evaporation system coupled with a high conductance vapor delivery system is described for increasing the deposition rate by increasing exposed surface area of film precursor. The multi-tray film precursor evaporation system includes one or more trays. Each tray is configured to support and retain film precursor in, for example, solid powder form or solid tablet form. Additionally, each tray is configured to provide for a high conductance flow of carrier gas over the film precursor while the film precursor is heated. For example, the carrier gas flows inward over the film precursor, and vertically upward through a flow channel within the stackable trays and through an outlet in the solid precursor evaporation system.
