摘要:
Passivation layers to inhibit vapor deposition can be used on reactor surfaces to minimize deposits while depositing on a substrate housed therein, or on particular substrate surfaces, such as metallic surfaces on semiconductor substrates to facilitate selective deposition on adjacent dielectric surfaces. Passivation agents that are smaller than typical self-assembled monolayer precursors can have hydrophobic or non-reactive ends and facilitate more dense passivation layers more quickly than self-assembled monolayers, particularly over complex three-dimensional structures.

A method of forming a shallow trench isolation trench in a semiconductor substrate is described. The method includes forming a trench in a region of the substrate, forming a liner in the trench, wherein the liner includes a first dielectric material, adhering a halogen element to the liner, forming a second dielectric material in the trench, annealing the first dielectric material and the second dielectric material, exposing a portion of a surface of the second dielectric material, and isotropically etching the exposed portion of the surface of the second dielectric material to form an air gap in the shallow trench isolation trench.

An Active Energy Assist (AEA) baking chamber includes an AEA light source assembly and a heater pedestal. The AEA baking chamber further includes a controller for controlling a power input to the AEA light source assembly and a power input to the heater pedestal. A method of forming interconnects on a substrate includes etching a substrate and wet cleaning the etched substrate. The method further includes active energy assist (AEA) baking the substrate after the wet-cleaning. The AEA baking includes placing the substrate on a heater pedestal in an AEA chamber, exposing the substrate to light having a wavelength equal to or greater than 400 nm, wherein said light is emitted by a light source and controlling the light source and the heater pedestal using a controller.

摘要:
The present invention provides a method of fabricating an interconnect structure in which a patternable low-k material replaces the need for utilizing a separate photoresist and a dielectric material. Specifically, this invention relates to a simplified method of fabricating single-damascene and dual-damascene low-k interconnect structures with at least one patternable low-k dielectric and at least one inorganic antireflective coating. In general terms, a method is provided that includes providing at least one patternable low-k material on a surface of an inorganic antireflective coating that is located atop a substrate. The inorganic ARC is liquid deposited and comprises a polymer that has at least one monomer unit comprising the formula M-R1 wherein M is at least one of Si, Ge, B, Sn, Fe, Ta, Ti, Ni, Hf and La and R1 is a chromophore. At least one interconnect pattern is formed within the at least one patternable low-k material and thereafter the at least one patternable low-k material is cured. The inventive method can be used to form dual-damascene interconnect structures as well as single-damascene interconnect structures.
