A capacitor structure comprising a bottom electrode, an insulator and a top electrode, and method for manufacturing the same. The bottom and top electrodes preferably include a metal portion and a conducting oxygen-containing metal portion. In one embodiment, a layer of ruthenium is deposited to form a portion of the bottom electrode. Prior to deposition of the insulator, the ruthenium is annealed in an oxygen-containing environment. The insulator is then deposited on the oxygen-containing ruthenium layer. Formation of the top electrode includes depositing a first metal on the insulator, annealing the first metal and then depositing a second metal. The first and second metals may be ruthenium.

A method for measuring the concentration of the metal solution and reducing agent solution within the electroless plating solution is disclosed. Raman spectroscopy is used to measure the concentration of each solution within the electroless plating solution after they have been mixed together. By measuring the concentration of each solution prior to providing the solution to a plating cell, the concentration of the individual solutions can be adjusted so that the targeted concentration of each solution is achieved. Additionally, each solution can be individually analyzed using Raman spectroscopy prior to mixing with the other solutions. Based upon the Raman spectroscopy measurements of the individual solutions prior to mixing, the individual components that make up each solution can be adjusted prior to mixing so that the targeted component concentration can be achieved.

A composite insulating film including three layers is formed on a substrate having a gap. The first layer partially fills the gap and contains a dielectric material having a low dielectric constant, such as halogen-doped silicate glass. The second layer is formed over the first layer, and contains an undoped dielectric material such as silicon oxide, nitride, or oxynitride. The second layer is more stable and integrable, and less susceptible to moisture absorption and outgassing, than the first layer. The second layer is substantially smaller in thickness than the first layer, and at least substantially fills the gap. The third layer is formed over the second layer, and contains a dielectric material having a low dielectric constant, such as halogen-doped silicate glass. In a specific embodiment, the first layer is formed by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition in which reactive species are generated from a process gas mixture by plasma for sputtering the first layer.

An improved deposition chamber (2) includes a housing (4) defining a chamber (18) which houses a substrate support (14). A mixture of oxygen and SiF4 is delivered through a set of first nozzles (34) and silane is delivered through a set of second nozzles (34a) into the chamber around the periphery (40) of the substrate support. Silane (or a mixture of silane and SiF4) and oxygen are separately injected into the chamber generally centrally above the substrate from orifices (64, 76). The uniform dispersal of the gases coupled with the use of optimal flow rates for each gas results in uniformly low (under 3.4) dielectric constant across the film.
