Abstract: A substrate processing method for area selective deposition includes providing a substrate containing a first film, a second film, and a third film, forming a first blocking layer on the first film, forming a second blocking layer on the second film, where the second blocking layer is different from the first blocking layer, and selectively forming a material film on the third film. In one example, the first film contains a metal film, second film contains a metal-containing liner that surrounds the metal film, and the third film includes a dielectric film that surrounds the metal-containing liner.

Abstract: A substrate processing method includes providing a substrate containing a first semiconductor material and a second semiconductor material, treating the first semiconductor material and the second semiconductor material with a chemical source that selectively forms a chemical layer on the second semiconductor material relative to the first semiconductor material, and exposing the substrate to a first metal-containing precursor that selectively deposits a first metal-containing layer on the first semiconductor material relative to the chemical layer on the second semiconductor material. The method can further include annealing the substrate to react the first metal-containing layer with the first semiconductor material to form a first metal silicide layer, removing the chemical layer from the second semiconductor material, depositing a second metal-containing layer on the second semiconductor material, and annealing the substrate to react the second metal-containing layer with the second semiconductor material to form a second metal silicide layer.

Abstract: A method of forming crystallographically stabilized ferroelectric hafnium zirconium based films for semiconductor devices is described. The hafnium zirconium based films can be either doped or undoped. The method includes depositing a hafnium zirconium based film with a thickness greater than 5 nanometers on a substrate, depositing a cap layer on the hafnium zirconium based film, heat-treating the substrate to crystallize the hafnium zirconium based film in a non-centrosymmetric orthorhombic phase, a tetragonal phase, or a mixture thereof. The method further includes removing the cap layer from the substrate, thinning the heat-treated hafnium zirconium based film to a thickness of less than 5 nanometers, where the thinned heat-treated hafnium zirconium based film maintains the crystallized non-centrosymmetric orthorhombic phase, the tetragonal phase, or the mixture thereof.

Abstract: A wrap-around contact integration scheme is described that includes sidewall protection during contact formation. A substrate processing method includes providing a substrate containing a raised contact in a first dielectric film, and a second dielectric film on the first dielectric film, where the second dielectric film has a recessed feature with a sidewall and a bottom portion above the raised contact. The method further includes depositing a conformal film on the sidewall and on the bottom portion of the recessed feature, removing the conformal film from the bottom portion in a first anisotropic etching process, where the remaining conformal film forms a protection film on the sidewall and defines a width of the recessed feature, and forming a cavity containing the raised contact in an isotropic etching process, where a width of the cavity is greater than the width of the recessed feature.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a processing method for selective film formation for raised and recessed features using deposition and etching processes. According to one embodiment, the method includes providing a substrate having a recessed feature with a sidewall and a bottom portion, and depositing a film in the recessed feature and on a field area around the opening of the recessed feature, where the film is non-conformally deposited with a greater film thickness on the bottom portion than on the sidewall and the field area. The method further includes etching the film in an atomic layer etching (ALE) process in the absence of a plasma, where the etching thins the film on the bottom portion and removes the film from the sidewall and the field area, and repeating the depositing and the etching at least once to increase the film thickness of on the bottom portion.

Abstract: Method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is described that uses sidewall protection of a recessed feature to prevent loss of critical dimension during a cleaning process to remove etch residue. According to one embodiment, the method includes providing a substrate containing a film thereon having a recessed feature with a sidewall and a bottom portion, depositing a conformal film on the sidewall and on the bottom portion, removing the conformal film from the bottom portion in an anisotropic etching process, where the remaining conformal film forms a protection film on the sidewall, and performing a cleaning process that removes etch residue from the recessed feature without etching the protection film or the sidewall.
