Abstract:
A deposition method demonstrating a slower growth rate is disclosed. Some embodiments of the disclosure provide CVD methods which utilize a halide-containing growth inhibitor as a co-reactant with a metal halide precursor and a reactant. Some embodiments of the disclosure relate to CVD and ALD methods comprising exposure of the substrate surface to a pretreatment comprising a halide-containing growth inhibitor.
Abstract:
Embodiments herein are generally directed to methods of forming high aspect ratio metal contacts and/or interconnect features, e.g., tungsten features, in a semiconductor device. Often, conformal deposition of tungsten in a high aspect ratio opening results in a seam and/or void where the outward growth of tungsten from one or more walls of the opening meet. Thus, the methods set forth herein provide for a desirable bottom up tungsten bulk fill to avoid the formation of seams and/or voids in the resulting interconnect features, and provide an improved contact metal structure and method of forming the same. In some embodiments, an improved overburden layer or overburden layer structure is formed over the field region of the substrate to enable the formation of a contact or interconnect structure that has improved characteristics over conventionally formed contacts or interconnect structures.
Abstract:
Methods of forming electronic devices comprising tungsten film stacks are provided. Methods include forming a tungsten nucleation layer on the barrier layer using an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process including a tungsten precursor that is free of fluorine. Forming the nucleation layer comprises controlling process parameters and/or forming WSi pre-nucleation layer.
Abstract:
A method of forming a molybdenum-containing material on a substrate is described, in which the substrate is contacted with molybdenum oxytetrachloride (MoOCl4) vapor under vapor deposition conditions, to deposit the molybdenum-containing material on the substrate. In various implementations, a diborane contact of the substrate may be employed to establish favorable nucleation conditions for the subsequent bulk deposition of molybdenum, e.g., by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques such as pulsed CVD.

Abstract:
A composite coating for use on semi-conductor processing components, comprising a refractory metal carbide coating with its surface modified by at least one of: a) a carbon donor source for a stabilized stoichiometry, and b) a layer of nitride, carbonitride or oxynitride of elements selected from a group B, Al, Si, refractory metals, transition metals, rare earth metals which may or may not contain electrically conducting pattern, and wherein the metal carbide is selected from the group consisting of silicon carbide, tantalum carbide, titanium carbide, tungsten carbide, silicon oxycarbide, zirconium carbide, hafnium carbide, lanthanum carbide, vanadium carbide, niobium carbide, magnesium carbide, chromium carbide, molybdenum carbide, beryllium carbide and mixtures thereof. The composite coating is characterized as having an improved corrosion resistance property and little emissivity sensitivity to wavelengths used in optical pyrometry under the normal semi-conductor processing environments.
Abstract:
A method for forming a tungsten layer on a substrate surface is provided. In one aspect, the method includes positioning the substrate surface in a processing chamber (110) and exposing the substrate surface to a boride (120). A nucleation layer is then deposited on the substrate surface in the same processing chamber by alternately pulsing a tungsten-containing compound (130) and a reducing gas (150) selected from a group consisting of silane (SiH4), disilane (Si2H6), dichlorosilane (SiCl2H2), derivatives thereof, and combinations thereof. A tungsten bulk fill may then be deposited on the nucleation layer using cyclical deposition, chemical vapor deposition, or physical vapor deposition techniques.
