摘要:
A deposition apparatus includes a chuck in a process chamber, the chuck having a top surface on which a substrate is loaded, a showerhead disposed over the chuck, and a fence extension disposed in the process chamber. Plasma is generated in a space between the showerhead and the loaded substrate during a deposition process. The fence extension at least partially confines the plasma in the space during the deposition process, thereby enabling improved thickness uniformity and reliability of a layer deposited on the loaded substrate during the deposition process.

A semiconductor manufacturing apparatus includes a lower electrode, an upper electrode, first and second high-frequency power sources, and a controller. The lower electrode is disposed in a process chamber, and the upper electrode is disposed over the lower electrode in the process chamber. The first high-frequency power source is connected to one of the lower electrode and the upper electrode, and the second high-frequency power source is connected to one of the lower electrode and the upper electrode. The controller is connected to the first and second high-frequency power sources. The first high-frequency power source generates a first high-frequency power used to perform a first capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) process. The second high-frequency power source generates a second high-frequency power used to perform a second CCP process. The controller controls the second high-frequency power source to interrupt the second high-frequency power during the first CCP process.

In an ohmic layer and methods of forming the ohmic layer, a gate structure including the ohmic layer and a metal wiring having the ohmic layer, the ohmic layer is formed using tungsten silicide that includes tungsten and silicon with an atomic ratio within a range of about 1:5 to about 1:15. The tungsten silicide may be obtained in a chamber using a reaction gas including a tungsten source gas and a silicon source gas by a partial pressure ratio within a range of about 1.0:25.0 to about 1.0:160.0. The reaction gas may have a partial pressure within a range of about 2.05 percent to about 30.0 percent of a total internal pressure of the chamber. When the ohmic layer is employed for a conductive structure, such as a gate structure or a metal wiring, the conductive structure may have a reduced resistance.
