    摘要: A method and system for treating a dielectric film includes exposing at least one surface of the dielectric film to an alkyl silane, an alkoxysilane, an alkyl siloxane, an alkoxysiloxane, an aryl silane, an acyl silane, a cyclo siloxane, a polysilsesquioxane (PSS), an aryl siloxane, an acyl siloxane, or a halo siloxane, or any combination thereof. The dielectric film can include a low dielectric constant film with or without pores having an etch feature formed therein following dry etch processing. As a result of the etch processing or ashing, exposed surfaces in the feature formed in the dielectric film can become damaged, or activated, leading to retention of contaminants, absorption of moisture, increase in dielectric constant, etc. Damaged surfaces, such as these, are treated by performing at least one of healing these surfaces to, for example, restore the dielectric constant (i.e., decrease the dielectric constant) and cleaning these surfaces to remove contaminants, moisture, or residue. Moreover, preparation for barrier layer and metallization of features in the film may include treating by performing sealing of sidewall surfaces of the feature to close exposed pores and provide a surface for barrier film deposition.

    摘要: A method and system is described for treating a substrate with a high pressure fluid, such as carbon dioxide in a supercritical state. A process chemistry containing a process peroxide is introduced to the high pressure fluid for treating the substrate surface. The peroxide-based chemistry is used in conjunction with an initiator, wherein the initiator facilitates the formation of a radical of the process peroxide.

    摘要: During the processing of substrates, the substrate surface may be subjected to a cleaning process using supercritical CO2. Surface matter may remain, for example, because it is only minimally soluble in the supercritical CO2. For example, an oxidation cleaning process causes the substrate structure to cleave at several points leaving smaller fragments of oxidized residue behind. This residue has only minimal solubility in supercritical CO2 due to the polar constituents resulting from oxidation. The method thus further includes processing the substrate with supercritical CO2 and a functionalizing agent that can react with the smaller fragments and/or other less soluble components. These functionalized components are rendered more soluble in supercritical CO2 and are more easily removed than their predecessors.
