    摘要: Exemplary methods of forming a silicon-oxygen-and-nitrogen-containing barrier layer are described. The methods include flowing deposition gases into a substrate processing region of a processing chamber, where the deposition gases include a silicon-containing gas and a nitrogen-containing gas. A deposition plasma is generated from the deposition gases in the substrate processing region. A silicon-oxygen-and-nitrogen-containing layer is deposited on a substrate from the deposition plasma, where the silicon-oxygen-and-nitrogen-containing layer is characterized by thickness of less than or about 2000 Å. The methods further include exposing a surface of the silicon-oxygen-and-nitrogen-containing layer to a treatment plasma to form a treated silicon-oxygen-and-nitrogen-containing layer, where the treatment plasma is formed from a nitrogen-containing gas and is silicon free.

    摘要: A plasma processing apparatus comprising: a chamber; an upper electrode; a shower head having openings, an inner space of the chamber being divided into a first space and a second space; a shielding part including first and second shielding plates arranged in parallel between the upper electrode and the shower head, the shielding part having through-holes aligned with the openings; a gas supply device configured to supply a gas; a radio frequency (RF) power supply configured to output an RF voltage; a voltage applying part configured to select ions or radicals passing through the through-holes in the plasma by applying a control voltage to the shielding part; and a controller configured to control the voltage applying part by independently applying a control voltage to each of the first and second shield plates depending on control from the controller.
