    摘要: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device, where the method includes forming a transistor on a substrate, where the transistor includes a channel region configured to conduct charge between a source region and a drain region, forming a trench adjacent to the transistor, depositing a material on the substrate and within the trench, and annealing the material, where the material is tensile following the annealing and creates a tensile stress in the channel region. Also, a method of forming a trench isolation in a semiconductor device, where the method includes forming a trench in a substrate, forming a material within the trench at a lower deposition rate, forming the material on the substrate at a higher deposition rate after the depositing of the material within the trench, and annealing the material, where after the annealing the material in the trench is tensile.

    摘要: A method of filling a gap formed between adjacent raised surfaces on a substrate. In one embodiment the method comprises depositing a boron-doped silica glass (BSG) layer over the substrate to partially fill the gap using a thermal CVD process; exposing the BSG layer to a steam ambient at a temperature above the BSG layer's Eutectic temperature; removing an upper portion of the BSG layer by exposing the layer to a fluorine-containing etchant; and depositing an undoped silica glass (USG) layer over the BSG layer to fill the remainder of the gap.

    摘要: Method and systems for patterning a hardmask film using ultraviolet light is disclosed according to one embodiment of the invention. Embodiments of the present invention alleviate the processing problem of depositing and etching photoresist in order to produce a hardmask pattern. A hardmask layer, such as, silicon oxide, is first deposited on a substrate within a deposition chamber. In some cases, the hardmask layer is baked or annealed following deposition. After which, portions of the hardmask layer are exposed with ultraviolet light. The ultraviolet light produces a pattern of exposed and unexposed portions of hardmask material. Following the exposure, an etching process, such as a wet etch, may occur that removes the unexposed portions of the hardmask. Following the etch, the hardmask may be annealed, baked or subjected to a plasma treatment.

    摘要: A coil is provided for use in a semiconductor processing system to generate a plasma with a magnetic field in a chamber. The coil comprises a first coil segment, a second coil segment and an internal balance capacitor. The first coils segment has a first end and a second end. The first end of the coil segment is adapted to connect to a power source. The second coil segment has a first and second end. The second end of the first coil segment is adapted to connect to an external balance capacitor. The internal balance capacitor is connected in series between the second end of the first coil segment and the first end of the second coil segment. The internal balance capacitor and the coil segments are adapted to provide a voltage peak along the first coil segment substantially aligned with a virtual ground along the second coil segment.
