摘要:
The embodiments of the invention describe a process chamber, such as an ALD chamber, that has gas delivery conduits with gradually increasing diameters to reduce Joule-Thompson effect during gas delivery, a ring-shaped gas liner leveled with the substrate support to sustain gas temperature and to reduce gas flow to the substrate support backside, and a gas reservoir to allow controlled delivery of process gas. The gas conduits with gradually increasing diameters, the ring-shaped gas liner, and the gas reservoir help keep the gas temperature stable and reduce the creation of particles.

Methods for forming photoresists sensitive to radiation on a substrate are provided. Described are chemical vapor deposition methods of forming films (e.g., silicon-containing films) as photoresists using a plasma which may be exposed to radiation to form a pattern. The deposition methods utilize precursors with cross-linkable moieties that will cross-link upon exposure to radiation. Radiation may be carried out in the with or without the presence of oxygen. Exposed or unexposed areas may then be developed in an aqueous base developer.

A method and apparatus for providing a precursor to a process chamber is described. The apparatus comprises an ampoule capable of receiving either a liquid precursor source material or a solid precursor source material. The ampoule is capable of delivering either a liquid precursor material to a vaporizer coupled to the process chamber, or a vaporized or gaseous precursor material to the process chamber. The ampoule also includes a continuous level sensor to accurately monitor the level of precursor source material within the ampoule.
摘要:
An apparatus to isolate a rotating frame in a processing chamber, comprising: a support cylinder rotatably extending from the rotating frame; and a co-rotating edge ring extension extending from the support cylinder to at least one of substantially thermally, optically and mechanically isolate the region above the co-rotating edge ring extension from the region below the co-rotating edge ring extension.

Methods for forming photoresists sensitive to radiation on substrate are provided. Atomic layer deposition methods of forming films (e.g., silicon-containing films) photoresists are described. The process can be repeated multiple times to deposit a plurality of silicon photoresist layers. Process of depositing photoresist and forming patterns in photoresist are also disclosed which utilize carbon containing underlayers such as amorphous carbon layers.
摘要:
A substrate support, for example an edge ring, includes an upper ledge for supporting a first substrate, such as a semiconductor wafer, during a first process, and a lower ledge contiguous with the upper ledge for supporting a second substrate during a second process for cleaning the substrate support. A method of processing substrates supported by the edge ring in a thermal process chamber is also disclosed.

Provided are methods of depositing hafnium or zirconium containing metal alloy films. Certain methods comprise sequentially exposing a substrate surface to alternating flows of an organometallic precursor and a reductant comprising M(BH4)4 to produce a metal alloy film on the substrate surface, wherein M is selected from hafnium and zirconium, and the organometallic precursor contains a metal N. Gate stacks are described comprising a copper barrier layer comprising boron, a first metal M selected from Hf and Zr, and a second metal N selected from tantalum, tungsten, copper, ruthenium, rhodium, cobalt and nickel; and a copper layer overlying the copper barrier seed layer.
摘要:
Provided are low temperature methods of depositing hafnium or zirconium containing films using a Hf(BH4)4 precursor, or Zr(BH4)4 precursor, respectively, as well as a co-reactant. The co-reactant can be selected to obtain certain film compositions. Co-reactants comprising an oxidant can be used to deposit oxygen into the film. Accordingly, also provided are films comprising a metal, boron and oxygen, wherein the metal comprises hafnium where a Hf(BH4)4 precursor is used, or zirconium, where a Zr(BH4)4 precursor is used.
