    摘要: A metal silicide layer is formed on silicon-containing features of a substrate in a chamber. A metal film is sputter deposited on the substrate and a portion of the sputter deposited metal film is silicided. In the process, sputtering gas is energized by applying an electrical bias potential across the metal sputtering target and the substrate support to sputter deposit metal from a target onto the substrate. At least a portion of the deposited sputtered metal is silicided by heating the substrate to a silicidation temperature exceeding about 200° C. to form a combined sputtered metal and metal silicide layer on the substrate. The remaining sputtered metal can be silicided by maintaining the substrate at the silicidation temperature to form the metal silicide layer.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for filling contacts, vias, trenches, and other patterns, in a substrate surface, particularly patterns having high aspect ratios. Generally, the present invention provides a method for removing oxygen from the surface of an oxidized metal layer prior to deposition of a subsequent metal. The oxidized metal is treated with a plasma consisting of nitrogen, hydrogen, or a mixture thereof. In one aspect of the invention, the metal layer is Ti, TiN, Ta, TaN, Ni, NiV, or V, and a subsequent wetting layer is deposited using either CVD techniques or electroplating, such as CVD aluminum (Al) or electroplating of copper (Cu). The metal layer can be exposed to oxygen or the atmosphere and then treated with a plasma of nitrogen and/or hydrogen in two or more cycles to remove or reduce oxidation of the surface of the metal layer and nucleate the growth of a subsequent metal layer thereon.
