    摘要: Methods of filling a gap on a substrate with silicon oxide are described. The methods may include the steps of introducing an organo-silicon precursor and an oxygen precursor to a deposition chamber, reacting the precursors to form a first silicon oxide layer in the gap on the substrate, and etching the first silicon oxide layer to reduce the carbon content in the layer. The methods may also include forming a second silicon oxide layer on the first layer, and etching the second layer to reduce the carbon content in the second layer. The silicon oxide layers are annealed after the gap is filled.

    摘要: Method and systems for patterning a hardmask film using ultraviolet light is disclosed according to one embodiment of the invention. Embodiments of the present invention alleviate the processing problem of depositing and etching photoresist in order to produce a hardmask pattern. A hardmask layer, such as, silicon oxide, is first deposited on a substrate within a deposition chamber. In some cases, the hardmask layer is baked or annealed following deposition. After which, portions of the hardmask layer are exposed with ultraviolet light. The ultraviolet light produces a pattern of exposed and unexposed portions of hardmask material. Following the exposure, an etching process, such as a wet etch, may occur that removes the unexposed portions of the hardmask. Following the etch, the hardmask may be annealed, baked or subjected to a plasma treatment.

    摘要: A method of depositing a low dielectric constant film on a substrate. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of positioning the substrate in a deposition chamber, providing a gas mixture to the deposition chamber, in which the gas mixture is comprised of one or more cyclic organosilicon compounds, one or more aliphatic compounds and one or more oxidizing gases. The method further includes reacting the gas mixture in the presence of an electric field to form the low dielectric constant film on the semiconductor substrate. The electric field is generated using a very high frequency power having a frequency in a range of about 20 MHz to about 100 MHz.

    摘要: Methods of forming a dielectric layer where the tensile stress of the layer is increased by a plasma treatment at an elevated position are described. In one embodiment, oxide and nitride layers are deposited on a substrate and patterned to form an opening. A trench is etched into the substrate. The substrate is transferred into a chamber suitable for dielectric deposition. A dielectric layer is deposited over the substrate, filling the trench and covering mesa regions adjacent to the trench. The substrate is raised to an elevated position above the substrate support and exposed to a plasma which increases the tensile stress of the substrate. The substrate is removed from the dielectric deposition chamber, and portions of the dielectric layer are removed so that the dielectric layer is even with the topmost portion of the nitride layer. The nitride and pad oxide layers are removed to form the STI structure.

    摘要: A plasma treatment process for increasing the tensile stress of a silicon wafer is described. Following deposition of a dielectric layer on a substrate, the substrate is lifted to an elevated position above the substrate receiving surface and exposed to a plasma treatment process which treats both the top and bottom surface of the wafer and increases the tensile stress of the deposited layer. Another embodiment of the invention involves biasing of the substrate prior to plasma treatment to bombard the wafer with plasma ions and raise the temperature of the substrate. In another embodiment of the invention, a two-step plasma treatment process can be used where the substrate is first exposed to a plasma at a processing position directly after deposition, and then raised to an elevated position where both the top and bottom of the wafer are exposed to the plasma.
