    摘要: Blocker plates for chemical vapor deposition chambers and methods of treating blocker plates are provided. The blocker plates define a plurality of holes therethrough and have an upper surface and a lower surface that are at least about 99.5% pure, which minimizes the nucleation of contaminating particles on the blocker plates. A physically vapor deposited coating, such as an aluminum physically vapor deposited coating, may be formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the blocker plates. Chemical vapor deposition chambers including blocker plates having a physically vapor deposited coating thereon are also provided.

    摘要: A method for metallizing integrated circuits is disclosed. In one aspect, an integrated circuit is metallized by depositing liner material on a substrate followed by one or more metal layers. The liner material is selected from the group of tantalum (Ta), tantalum nitride (TaN), niobium (Nb), niobium nitride (NbN), vanadium (V), vanadium nitride (VN), and combinations thereof. The liner material is preferably conformably deposited on the substrate using physical vapor deposition (PVD). The one or more metal layers are deposited on the barrier layer using chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), or a combination of both CVD and PVD.

    摘要: An aluminum sputtering process including RF biasing the wafer and a two-step aluminum fill process and apparatus used therefor to fill aluminum into a narrow via hole by sputtering under two distinctly different conditions, preferably in two different plasma sputter reactors. The first step includes sputtering a high fraction of ionized aluminum atoms onto a relatively cold wafer, e.g., held at less than 150° C., and relatively highly biased to attract aluminum atoms into the narrow holes and etch overhangs. The second step includes more neutral sputtering onto a relatively warm wafer, e.g. held at greater than 250° C., and substantially unbiased to provide a more isotropic and uniform aluminum flux. The magnetron scanned about the back of the aluminum target may be relatively small and unbalanced in the first step and relatively large and balanced in the second.

    摘要: Embodiments herein provide methods for forming an aluminum contact on a cobalt silicide junction. In one embodiment, a method for forming materials on a substrate is provided which includes forming a cobalt silicide layer on a silicon-containing surface of the substrate during a silicidation process, forming a fluorinated sublimation film on the cobalt silicide layer during a plasma process, heating the substrate to a sublimation temperature to remove the fluorinated sublimation film, depositing a titanium-containing nucleation layer over the cobalt silicide layer, and depositing an aluminum-containing material over the titanium-containing nucleation layer. In one example, the method further provides forming the cobalt silicide layer by depositing a cobalt-containing layer on the silicon-containing surface, heating the substrate during a rapid thermal annealing (RTA) process, etching away any remaining portions of the cobalt-containing layer from the substrate, and subsequently heating the substrate during another RTA process.

    摘要: A refractory metal layer is deposited onto a substrate having high aspect ratio contracts or vias formed thereon. Next, a plasma-enhanced CVD refractory metal nitride layer is deposited on the refractory metal layer. Then, a metal layer is deposited over the metal nitride layer. The resulting metal layer is substantially void free and has reduced resistivity, and has greater effective line width. Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition of the metal nitride layer comprises forming a plasma of a metal-containing compound, a nitrogen-containing gas, and a hydrogen-gas to deposit a metal nitride layer on a substrate. The metal nitride layer is preferably treated with nitrogen plasma to densify the metal nitride film. The process is preferably carried out in an integrated processing system that generally includes various chambers so that once the substrate is introduced into a vacuum environment, the metallization of the vias and contacts occurs without exposure to possible contaminants.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for depositing metal layers on substrates with improved surface morphology. According to one aspect of the invention, a metal is deposited by chemical vapor deposition on a substrate having an aperture formed therein. A metal is then deposited on the substrate by physical vapor deposition performed with a low substrate temperature. The substrate is then heated. The substrate may then receive a metal deposited by physical vapor deposition performed at a high temperature and an additional heating step. The aperture of the resulting substrate is filled with metal and is substantially void-free and has a smooth surface morphology.
