摘要： A method of forming a retrograde material profile in a substrate includes forming a surface peak profile on the substrate. Ions are then implanted into the substrate to form a retrograde profile from the surface peak profile, at least one of an ion implantation dose and an ion implantation energy of the implanted ions being chosen so that the retrograde profile has a peak concentration that is positioned at a desired distance from the surface of the substrate.

摘要： A method of processing a substrate having horizontal and non-horizontal surfaces is disclosed. The substrate is implanted with particles using an ion implanter. During the ion implant, due to the nature of the implant process, a film may be deposited on the surfaces, wherein the thickness of this film is thicker on the horizontal surfaces. The presences of this film may adversely alter the properties of the substrate. To rectify this, a second process step is performed to remove the film deposited on the horizontal surfaces. In some embodiments, an etching process is used to remove this film. In some embodiments, a material modifying step is used to change the composition of the material comprising the film. This material modifying step may be instead of, or in addition to the etching process.

摘要： A method is disclosed for adjusting the composition of plasmas used in plasma doping, plasma deposition and plasma etching techniques. The disclosed method enables the plasma composition to be controlled by modifying the energy distribution of the electrons present in the plasma. Energetic electrons are produced in the plasma by accelerating electrons in the plasma using very fast voltage pulses. The pulses are long enough to influence the electrons, but too fast to affect the ions significantly. Collisions between the energetic electrons and the constituents of the plasma result in changes in the plasma composition. The plasma composition can then be optimized to meet the requirements of the specific process being used. This can entail changing the ratio of ion species in the plasma, changing the ratio of ionization to dissociation, or changing the excited state population of the plasma.
摘要翻译：公开了一种用于调节用于等离子体掺杂，等离子体沉积和等离子体蚀刻技术的等离子体的组成的方法。所公开的方法使得能够通过修改存在于等离子体中的电子的能量分布来控制等离子体组成。通过使用非常快的电压脉冲加速等离子体中的电子，在等离子体中产生能量电子。脉冲长度足以影响电子，但是太快而不能显着影响离子。能量电子与等离子体成分之间的碰撞导致等离子体组成的变化。然后可以优化等离子体组成以满足所使用的具体方法的要求。这可能需要改变等离子体中的离子种类的比例，改变离子化与解离的比例，或改变等离子体的激发态群体。

摘要： A method and apparatus are described herein which allow the progression of delamination of a film to be monitored. An interferometer is used to detect the onset and progression of thin film delamination. By projecting one or more wavelengths at a surface, and measuring the reflectance of these projected wavelengths, it is possible to monitor the progression of the delamination process. Testing has shown that different stages of the delamination process produce different reflectance graphs. This information can be used to establish implantation parameters, or can be used as an in situ monitor. The same techniques can be used for other applications. For example, in certain implantation systems, such as PECVD, a film of material may developed on the walls of the chamber. The techniques described herein can be used to monitor this separation, and determine when preventative maintenance may be performed on the chamber.

摘要： A metal- and metalloid-free nanolaminate dielectric film can be formed according to a pulsed layer deposition (PDL) process. A metal- and metalloid-free compound is used to catalyze the reaction of silica deposition by surface reaction of alkoxysilanols. Films can be grown at rates faster than 30 nm per exposure cycle. The invention can be used for the deposition of both doped (e.g., PSG) and undoped silicon oxide films. The films deposited are conformal, hence the method can accomplish void free gap-fill in high aspect ratio gaps encountered in advanced technology nodes (e.g., the 45 nm technology node and beyond), and can be used in other applications requiring conformal dielectric deposition.

摘要： Methods of forming conformal films with increased density are described. The methods may be used to improve gap fill in semiconductor device manufacturing by eliminating seams and voids. The methods involve operating at high reactant partial pressure. Additionally, film properties may be further enhanced by optimizing the temperature of the substrate during exposure to the metal-containing and/or silicon-containing precursor gases commonly used in conformal film deposition techniques such as ALD and PDL.

摘要： A method for using ALD and RVD techniques in semiconductor manufacturing to produce a smooth nanolaminate dielectric film, in particular for filling structures with doped or undoped silica glass, uses dynamic process conditions. A dynamic process using variable substrate (e.g., wafer) temperature, reactor pressure and/or reactant partial pressure, as opposed to static process conditions through various cycles, can be used to minimize film roughness and improve gap fill performance and film properties via the elimination or reduction of seam occurrence. Overall film roughness can be reduced by operating the initial growth cycle under conditions which optimize film smoothness, and then switching to conditions that will enhance conformality, gap fill and film properties for the subsequent process cycles. Film deposition characteristics can be changed by modulating one or more of a number of process parameters including wafer temperature, reactor pressure, reactant partial pressure and combinations of these.

摘要： Methods of forming conformal films that reduce the amount of metal-containing precursor and/or silicon containing precursor materials required are described. The methods increase the amount of film grown following each dose of metal-containing and/or silicon-containing precursors. The methods may involve introducing multiple doses of the silicon-containing precursor for each dose of the metal-containing precursor and/or re-pressurizing the process chamber during exposure to a dose of the silicon-containing precursor. The methods of the present invention are particularly suitable for use in RVD processes.
