    摘要: A method for forming a modified TaC or TaCN film that may be utilized as a barrier film for Cu metallization. The method includes disposing a substrate in a process chamber of a plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) system configured to perform a PEALD process, depositing a TaC or TaCN film on the substrate using the PEALD process, and modifying the deposited TaC or TaCN film by exposing the deposited TaC or TaCN film to plasma excited hydrogen or atomic hydrogen or a combination thereof in order to remove carbon from at least the plasma exposed portion of the deposited TaCN film. The method further includes forming a metal film on the modified TaCN film, where the modified TaCN film provides stronger adhesion to the metal film than the deposited TaCN film. According to one embodiment, a TaCN film is deposited from alternating exposures of TAIMATA and plasma excited hydrogen.

    摘要: An iPVD apparatus (20) is programmed to deposit material (10) onto semiconductor substrates (21) by cycling between deposition and etch modes within a vacuum chamber (30). Static magnetic fields are kept to a minimum during at least the etch modes, at least less than 150 Gauss, typically less than 50 Gauss, and preferably in the range of 0-10 Gauss. Static magnetic fields during deposition modes may be more than 150 Gauss, in the range of 0-50 Gauss, or preferably 20-30 Gauss, and may be the same as during etch modes or switched between a higher level during deposition modes and a lower level, including zero, during etch modes. Such switching may be by switching electromagnet current or by moving permanent magnets, by translation or rotation. Static magnetic fields are kept to a minimum during at least the etch modes, at least less than 150 Gauss, typically less than 50 Gauss, and preferably in the range of 1-10 Gauss. The modes may operate at different power and pressure parameters. Pressure of more than 50 mTorr are preferred for deposition in a thermalized plasma while pressure of less than a few mTorr is preferred for etching.
