    摘要: An aluminum sputtering process including RF biasing the wafer and a two-step aluminum fill process and apparatus used therefor to fill aluminum into a narrow via hole by sputtering under two distinctly different conditions, preferably in two different plasma sputter reactors (168, 170). The first step (130) includes sputtering a high fraction of ionized aluminum atoms onto a relatively cold wafer, e.g., held at less than 15O0C, and relatively highly biased to attract aluminum atoms into the narrow holes and etch overhangs. The second step (132) includes more neutral sputtering onto a relatively warm wafer, e.g. held at greater than 25O0C, and substantially unbiased to provide a more isotropic and uniform aluminum flux. The magnetron scanned about the back of the aluminum target may be (80) relatively small and unbalanced in the first step and (60) relatively large and balanced in the second step.

    摘要: Blocker plates for chemical vapor deposition chambers and methods of treating blocker plates are provided. The blocker plates define a plurality of holes therethrough and have an upper surface and a lower surface that at least about 99.5% pure, which minimizes the nucleation of contaminating particles on the blocker plates. A physically vapor deposited coating, such as an aluminum physically vapor deposited coating, may be formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the blocker plates. Chemical vapor deposition chambers including blocker plates having a physically vapor deposited coating thereon are also provided.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention provide an apparatus for generating a precursor gas used in a vapor deposition process system. The apparatus contains a canister or an ampoule for containing a chemical precursor and a splash guard contained within the ampoule. The splash guard is positioned to obstruct the chemical precursor in a liquid state from being bumped or splashed into a gas outlet during the introduction of a carrier gas into the ampoule. The carrier gas is usually directed into the ampoule through a gas inlet and combines with the vaporized chemical precursor to form a precursor gas. The splash guard is also positioned to permit the passage of the precursor gas from the gas outlet. In one example, the gas outlet contains a stem with a tapered tip and the splash guard is positioned at an angle parallel to the plane of the tapered tip.

    摘要: Methods for depositing ruthenium-containing films are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method of depositing a ruthenium-containing film on a substrate may include depositing a ruthenium-containing film on a substrate using a ruthenium-containing precursor, the deposited ruthenium-containing film having carbon incorporated therein; and exposing the deposited ruthenium-containing film to an oxygen-containing gas to remove at least some of the carbon from the deposited ruthenium-containing film. In some embodiments, the oxygen-containing gas exposed ruthenium-containing film may be annealed in a hydrogen-containing gas to remove at least some oxygen from the ruthenium-containing film. In some embodiments, the deposition, exposure, and annealing may be repeated to deposit the ruthenium-containing film to a desired thickness.
