    摘要: A thin silicon nitride layer is deposited at an ultra low deposition rate by PECVD by reducing the NH3 flow rate and/or reducing the SiH4 flow rate. Embodiments include depositing a thin layer of silicon nitride, e.g., 100 Å or less, on a thin silicon oxide liner over a gate electrode, at an NH3 flow rate of 100 to 800 sccm, a SiH4 flow rate of 50 to 100 sccm and a reduced pressure of 0.8 to 1.8 Torr. Embodiments of the present invention further include depositing the silicon nitride layer in multiple deposition stages, e.g., depositing the silicon nitride layer in five deposition stages of 20 Å each.

    摘要: Gap filling between features which are closely spaced is significantly improved by initially depositing a thin conformal layer followed by depositing a layer of gap filling dielectric material. Embodiments include depositing a thin conformal layer of silicon nitride or silicon oxide, as by atomic layer deposition or pulsed layer deposition, into the gap between adjacent gate electrode structures such that it flows into undercut regions of dielectric spacers on side surfaces of the gate electrode structures, and then depositing a layer of BPSG or P-HDP oxide on the thin conformal layer into the gap. Embodiments further include depositing the layers at a temperature less than 430° C., as by depositing a P-HDP oxide after depositing the conformal liner when the gate electrode structures include a layer of nickel silicide.

    摘要: During semiconductor fabrication homogeneous gap-filling is achieved by depositing a thin dielectric layer into the gap, post deposition curing, and then repeating deposition and post deposition curing until gap-filling is completed. Embodiments include depositing a layer of low deposition temperature gap-fill dielectric into a high aspect ratio opening, such as a shallow trench or a gap between closely spaced apart gate electrode structures, as at a thickness of about 10 Å to about 500 Å, curing after deposition, as by UV radiation or by heating at a temperature of about 400° C. to about 1000° C., depositing another layer of low deposition temperature gap-filled dielectric, and curing after deposition. Embodiments include separately depositing and separately curing multiple layers.
