    • The present invention relates to the deposition of dielectric layers, and more specifically to a method and apparatus for forming dielectric layers such as borophosphosilicate glass (BPSG) having improved film uniformity, higher deposition rate, superior gap fill/reflow capability, and smoother surface morphology. The method forms a dielectric layer with a process using helium carrier gas that produces substantially less downstream residue than conventional methods and apparatus, thereby reducing the need for chamber cleaning and increasing throughput of processed wafers. The present invention utilizes helium instead of nitrogen as carrier gas in a process for forming a dielectric layer such as BPSG to provide various unexpected benefits. According to one aspect, the present invention forms a dielectric film on a substrate, and prolongs a period between chamber cleanings in a system by using helium which produces substantially less downstream and upstream residue than a process using nitrogen. The method includes introducing a process gas containing silicon, oxygen, and first dopant atoms into the chamber; using helium as the carrier gas in the system; and processing more substrates between cleanings than a process using nitrogen as carrier gas. A further aspect of the invention includes annealing the dielectric films formed on the substrates at a lower temperature than required by the process using nitrogen as carrier gas.
    • 本发明涉及电介质层的沉积,更具体地涉及一种用于形成介电层的方法和装置,例如具有改进的膜均匀性,较高沉积速率,优异的间隙填充/回流能力和更平滑的表面形态的硼磷硅酸盐玻璃(BPSG) 。 该方法形成具有使用氦载气的方法的电介质层,其产生比常规方法和设备基本上更少的下游残留物,从而减少对室清洁的需要并增加处理的晶片的生产量。 本发明在形成诸如BPSG的介电层的工艺中使用氦代替氮作为载气,以提供各种意想不到的好处。 根据一个方面,本发明在衬底上形成介电膜,并且通过使用产生比使用氮的方法显着更少的下游和上游残留物的氦来延长系统中的室清洁之间的时间。 该方法包括将含有硅,氧和第一掺杂剂原子的工艺气体引入室中; 使用氦气作为系统中的载气; 并且在清洗之前处理比使用氮气作为载气的工艺更多的衬底。 本发明的另一方面包括在比使用氮作为载气的方法所要求的温度更低的温度下退火形成在基板上的电介质膜。
