摘要： A process for filling high aspect ratio gaps on substrates uses conventional high density plasma deposition processes, with an efficient sputtering inert gas, such as Ar, replaced or reduced with an He inefficient sputtering inert gas such as He. By reducing the sputtering component, sidewall deposition from the sputtered material is reduced. Consequently, gaps with aspect ratios of 6.0:1 and higher can be filled without the formation of voids and without damaging circuit elements.

摘要： A process for filling high aspect ratio gaps on substrates uses conventional high density plasma deposition processes to deposit fluorine-doped films, with an efficient sputtering inert gas, such as Ar, replaced or reduced with an inefficient sputtering inert gas such as He and/or hydrogen. By reducing the sputtering component, sidewall deposition from the sputtered material is reduced. Consequently, gaps with aspect ratios greater than 3.0:1 and spacings between lines less than 0.13 microns can be filled with low dielectric constant films without the formation of voids and without damaging circuit elements.

摘要： A method is provided for filling high aspect ratio gaps without void formation by using a high density plasma (HDP) deposition process with a sequence of deposition and etch steps having varying etch rate-to-deposition rate (etch/dep) ratios. The first step uses an etch/dep ratio less than one to quickly fill the gap. The first step is interrupted before the opening to the gap is closed. The second step uses an etch/dep ratio greater than one to widen the gap. The second step is stopped before corners of the elements forming the gaps are exposed. These steps can be repeated until the aspect ratio of the gap is reduced so that void-free gap-fill is possible. The etch/dep ratio and duration of each step can be optimized for high throughput and high aspect ratio gap-fill capacity.
摘要翻译：提供了一种通过使用具有不同蚀刻速率 - 沉积速率（蚀刻/去除）比率的沉积和蚀刻步骤顺序的高密度等离子体（HDP）沉积工艺来填充高纵横比间隙而无空隙形成的方法。第一步使用小于1的蚀刻/剥离比快速填充间隙。第一步在打开间隙之前中断。第二步使用大于1的蚀刻/剥离比来扩大间隙。在形成间隙的元件的角部暴露之前停止第二步骤。可以重复这些步骤，直到间隙的纵横比减小，使得无空隙间隙填充成为可能。可以优化每个步骤的蚀刻/剥离比和持续时间，以实现高通量和高纵横比填充间隙。

摘要： Chemical vapor deposition processes are employed to fill high aspect ratio (typically at least 3:1), narrow width (typically 1.5 microns or less and even sub 0.15 micron) gaps with significantly reduced incidence of voids or weak spots. This deposition process involves the use of hydrogen as a process gas in the reactive mixture of a plasma containing CVD reactor. The process gas also includes dielectric forming precursor molecules such as silicon and oxygen containing molecules.

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： 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.
