摘要:
An apparatus and methods for depositing amorphous and microcrystalline silicon films during the formation of solar cells are provided. In one embodiment, a method and apparatus is provided for generating and introducing hydrogen radicals directly into a processing region of a processing chamber for reaction with a silicon-containing precursor for film deposition on a substrate. In one embodiment, the hydrogen radicals are generated by a remote plasma source and directly introduced into the processing region via a line of sight path to minimize the loss of energy by the hydrogen radicals prior to reaching the processing region.
摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention generally provide a method for forming a plurality of thin film single or multi-junction solar cell in a substrate processing chamber. In one embodiment, a method for processing a plurality of thin film solar cell substrates includes depositing sequentially a first undoped layer and a first doped layer over a surface of a first substrate and a chamber component in a single processing chamber, removing the substrate having the doped and undoped layers from the processing chamber, removing the second doped layer deposited on the chamber component to expose underlying first undoped layer which serves as a seasoning layer for a second substrate to be processed in the processing chamber, and depositing sequentially a second undoped layer and a second doped layer on the second substrate in the processing chamber. In one example, the first undoped layer is amorphous silicon or microcrystalline silicon. A full cleaning process may be performed at desired intervals to expose the surfaces of the chamber component before a regular seasoning process and the subsequent depositions are proceeded in the processing chamber.

Methods and apparatus are provided for processing a substrate with an ultraviolet curing process. In one aspect, the invention provides a method for processing a substrate including depositing a silicon carbide dielectric layer on a substrate surface and curing the silicon carbide dielectric layer with ultra-violet curing radiation. The silicon carbide dielectric layer may comprise a nitrogen containing silicon carbide layer, an oxygen containing silicon carbide layer, or a phenyl containing silicon carbide layer. The silicon carbide dielectric layer may be used as a barrier layer, an etch stop, or as an anti-reflective coating in a damascene formation technique.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for depositing organosilicate dielectric layers having good adhesion properties and low dielectric constant. Embodiments are described in which layers are deposited at low temperature and at high temperature. The low temperature layers are generally post-treated, whereas the high temperature layers need no post treating. Adhesion of the layers is promoted by use of an initiation layer.
