In one embodiment, a method for forming a tungsten material on a substrate surface is provide which includes positioning a substrate within a deposition chamber, heating the substrate to a deposition temperature, and exposing the substrate sequentially to a first reducing gas and a tungsten precursor gas to form a tungsten nucleation layer on the substrate during an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process. The method may further provide exposing the substrate to a deposition gas comprising a second reducing gas and the tungsten precursor gas to form a tungsten bulk layer on the tungsten nucleation layer during a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. Examples include that the ALD and CVD processes are conducted in the same deposition chamber or in different deposition chambers.

摘要:
A method and system to reduce the resistance of refractory metal layers by controlling the presence of fluorine contained therein. The present invention is based upon the discovery that when employing ALD techniques to form refractory metal layers on a substrate, the carrier gas employed impacts the presence of fluorine in the resulting layer. As a result, the method features chemisorbing, onto the substrate, alternating monolayers of a first compound and a second compound, with the second compound having fluorine atoms associated therewith, with each of the first and second compounds being introduced into the processing chamber along with a carrier gas to control a quantity of the fluorine atoms associated with the monolayer of the second compound.

In one embodiment, a method for forming a tungsten-containing material on a substrate is provided which includes forming a tungsten nucleation layer by sequentially exposing a substrate to a boron-containing gas and a tungsten-containing gas within a processing chamber during an atomic layer deposition process, and forming a tungsten bulk layer on the tungsten nucleation layer by exposing the substrate to a processing gas that contains the tungsten-containing gas and a reactive precursor gas within another processing chamber during a chemical vapor deposition process. In one example, the tungsten nucleation layer is deposited on a dielectric material, such as silicon oxide. In another example, the tungsten nucleation layer is deposited on a barrier material, such as titanium or titanium nitride. Other examples provide that the tungsten nucleation layer and the tungsten bulk layer are deposited in the same processing chamber.
