    摘要: A silicon nitride layer is formed over transistor gates while the processing temperature is relatively high, typically at least 500° C., and the pressure is relatively high, typically at least 50 Torr, to obtain a relatively high rate of formation of the silicon nitride layer. Processing conditions are controlled so as to more uniformly form the silicon nitride layer. Generally, the ratio of the NH3 gas to the silicon-containing gas by volume is selected sufficiently high so that, should the surface have a low region between transistor gates which is less than 0.15 microns wide and have a height-to-width ratio of at least 1.0, as well as an entirely flat area of at least 5 microns by 5 microns, the layer forms at a rate of not more than 25% faster on the flat area than on a base of the low region.

    摘要: A method for depositing doped polycrystalline or amorphous silicon film. The method includes placing a substrate onto a susceptor. The susceptor includes a body having a resistive heater therein and a thermocouple in physical contact with the resistive heater. The susceptor is located in the process chamber such that the process chamber has a top portion above the susceptor and a bottom portion below the susceptor. The method further includes heating the susceptor. The method further includes providing a process gas mix into the process chamber through a shower head located on the susceptor. The process gas mix includes a silicon source gas, a dopant gas, and a carrier gas. The carrier gas includes nitrogen. The method further includes forming the doped silicon film from the silicon source gas.

    摘要: The invention provides a method of making a transistor. A gate dielectric layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate. A gate is formed on the dielectric layer, the gate having an exposed upper surface and exposed side surfaces. A first silicon nitride layer having a first thickness is deposited over the gate, for example over an oxide layer on the gate, at a first deposition rate. A second silicon nitride layer having a second thickness is deposited over the first silicon nitride layer at a second deposition rate, the second thickness being more that the first thickness and the second deposition rate being more than the first deposition rate. The first silicon nitrogen layer then has a lower hydrogen concentration. At least the second silicon nitride layer (or a silicon oxide layer in the case of an ONO spacer) is etched to leave spacers next to the side surfaces while exposing the upper surface of the gate and areas of the substrate outside the spacers.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a method for forming a tungsten barrier material on a substrate is provided which includes depositing a tungsten layer on a substrate during a vapor deposition process and exposing the substrate sequentially to a tungsten precursor and a nitrogen precursor to form a tungsten nitride layer on the tungsten layer. Some examples provide that the tungsten layer may be deposited by sequentially exposing the substrate to the tungsten precursor and a reducing gas (e.g., diborane or silane) during an atomic layer deposition process. The tungsten layer may have a thickness of about 50 Å or less and tungsten nitride layer may have an electrical resistivity of about 380 μΩ-cm or less. Other examples provide that a tungsten bulk layer may be deposited on the tungsten nitride layer by a chemical vapor deposition process.
