摘要： Disclosed is a method for forming metal oxide dielectric layers, more particularly HfO2 dielectric layers, using an atomic layer deposition (ALD) method in which a series of thin intermediate layers are formed and treated with one or more oxidizers and nitrogents before the next intermediate layer is formed on the substrate. The intermediate oxidation treatments reduce the number of organic contaminants incorporated into the metal oxide layer from the organometallic precursors to produce a dielectric layer having improved current leakage characteristics. The dielectric layers formed in this manner remain susceptible to crystallization if exposed to temperatures much above 550° C., so subsequent semiconductor manufacturing processes should be modified or eliminated to avoid such temperatures or limit the duration at such temperatures to maintain the performance of the dielectric materials.

摘要： In a method of forming a layer using an atomic layer deposition process, after a substrate is loaded into a chamber, a first reactant is provided onto the substrate. The first reactant is partially chemisorbed on the substrate. A second reactant is introduced into the chamber to form a preliminary layer on the substrate by chemically reacting the second reactant with the chemisorbed first reactant. Impurities in the preliminary layer and unreacted reactants are simultaneously removed using a plasma for removing impurities to thereby form the layer on the substrate. The impurities in the layer may be effectively removed so that the layer may have reduced leakage current.
