摘要： We disclose a method of depositing a metal seed layer on a wafer substrate comprising a plurality of recessed device features. The method comprises depositing a first portion of the metal seed layer on the wafer via plasma deposition at a sufficient ratio of wafer substrate bias to DC source power that bottom coverage is achieved while resputtering of surfaces of the recessed device features is inhibited. The method also comprises depositing a second portion of the metal seed layer at a ration of substrate RF bias to DC source power such that resputtering is not inhibited.

摘要： The present disclosure pertains to our discovery that residual stress residing in a tantalum film or tantalum nitride film can be controlled (tuned) during deposition by adjusting at least two particular process variables which have counteracting effects on the residual film stress. By tuning individual film stresses within a film stack, it is possible to balance stresses within the stack. Process variables of particular interest include: power to the sputtering target process chamber pressure (i.e., the concentration of various gases and ions present in the chamber); substrate DC offset bias voltage (typically an increase in the AC applied substrate bias power); power to an ionization source (typically a coil); and temperature of the substrate upon which the film is deposited. The process chamber pressure and the substrate offset bias most significantly affect the film tensile and compressive stress components, respectively. The most advantageous tuning of a sputtered film is achieved using high density plasma sputter deposition, which provides for particular control over the ion bombardment of the depositing film surface. When the tantalum or tantalum nitride film is deposited using high density plasma sputtering, power to the ionization source can be varied for stress tuning of the film. We have been able to reduce the residual stress in tantalum or tantalum nitride films deposited using high density plasma sputtering to between about 6×10+9 dynes/cm2 and about −6×10+9 dynes/cm2 using techniques described herein.
