    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for processing a substrate are provided herein. For example, a method includes supplying a vaporized precursor into a processing volume, supplying activated elements including ions and radicals from a remote plasma source, energizing the activated elements using RF source power at a first duty cycle to react with the vaporized precursor to deposit an SiNHx film onto a substrate disposed in the processing volume, supplying a first process gas from the remote plasma source while providing RF bias power at a second duty cycle different from the first duty cycle to the substrate support to convert the SiNHx film to an SiOx film, supplying a process gas mixture formed from a second process gas supplied from the remote plasma source and a third process gas supplied from the gas supply while providing RF bias power at the second duty cycle to the substrate support, and annealing the substrate.

    Abstract: Resistance increase in cobalt interconnects due to nitridation occurring during removal of surface oxide from cobalt interconnects and deposition of nitrogen-containing film on cobalt interconnects is solved by a hydrogen thermal anneal or plasma treatment. Removal of the nitride is through a thin overlying layer which may be a dielectric barrier layer or an etch stop layer.

    Abstract: Generally, examples described herein relate to methods and processing systems for performing multiple processes in a same processing chamber on a flowable gap-fill film deposited on a substrate. In an example, a semiconductor processing system includes a processing chamber and a system controller. The system controller includes a processor and memory. The memory stores instructions, that when executed by the processor cause the system controller to: control a first process within the processing chamber performed on a substrate having thereon a film deposited by a flowable process, and control a second process within the process chamber performed on the substrate having thereon the film. The first process includes stabilizing bonds in the film to form a stabilized film. The second process includes densifying the stabilized film.

    Abstract: A method of photoresist removal is described. A substrate is located in a processing chamber. A mixture of gases is excited, the mixture comprising a majority component of a reducing process gas and a minority component of between 0.1% and 10% by volume of an oxidizing process gas. Reactive gas species are thereby generated. A photoresist layer with an exposed dielectric layer on the substrate in the chamber is then exposed to the reactive gas mixture to selectively remove the photoresist layer from the dielectric layer.

    Abstract: Embodiments herein provide for oxygen-based treatment of low-k dielectric layers deposited using a flowable chemical vapor deposition (FCVD) process. Oxygen-based treatment of the FCVD deposited low-k dielectric layers desirably increases the Ebd to capacitance and reliability of the devices while removing voids. Embodiments include methods and apparatus for making a semiconductor device including: etching a metal layer disposed atop a substrate to form one or more metal lines having a top surface, a first side, and a second side; depositing a passivation layer atop the top surface, the first side, and the second side under conditions sufficient to reduce or eliminate oxygen contact with the one or more metal lines; depositing a flowable layer of low-k dielectric material atop the passivation layer in a thickness sufficient to cover the one or more metal lines; and contacting the flowable layer of low-k dielectric material with oxygen under conditions sufficient to anneal and increase a density of the low-k dielectric material

    Abstract: Methods for forming an interconnections structure on a substrate in a cluster processing system and thermal processing such interconnections structure are provided. In one embodiment, a method for a device structure for semiconductor devices includes forming a barrier layer in an opening formed in a material layer disposed on a substrate, forming an interface layer on the barrier layer, forming a gap filling layer on the interface layer, and performing an annealing process on the substrate, wherein the annealing process is performed at a pressure range greater than 5 bar.
