    摘要: Methods for processing substrates are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for processing a substrate includes providing a substrate having an oxide layer disposed thereon, the oxide layer including one or more defects; and exposing the oxide layer to a plasma formed from a process gas comprising an oxygen-containing gas to repair the one or more defects. In some embodiments, the oxide layer may be formed on the substrate. In some embodiments, forming the oxide layer further comprises depositing the oxide layer atop the substrate. In some embodiments, forming the oxide layer further comprises thermally oxidizing the surface of the substrate to form the oxide layer. In some embodiments, a processing temperature is maintained at about 700 degrees Celsius or below during the thermal oxidation of the surface.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods of forming oxide layers on semiconductor substrates. In some embodiments, a method of forming an oxide layer on a semiconductor substrate includes forming an oxide layer on a substrate using an oxidation process having a first process gas at a first temperature less than about 800 degrees Celsius; and annealing the oxide layer formed on the substrate in the presence of a second process gas and at a second temperature. The oxidation process may be a plasma or thermal oxidation process performed at a temperature of about 800 degrees Celsius or below. In some embodiments, the post oxidation annealing process may be a spike or soak rapid thermal process, a laser anneal, or a flash anneal performed at a temperature of at least about 700 degrees Celsius, at least about 800 degrees Celsius, or at least about 950 degrees Celsius.
