摘要： Methods for conformal radical oxidation of structures are provided. In one implementation, the method comprises flowing hydrogen into a processing chamber at a first flow rate, wherein the processing chamber has a substrate positioned therein. The method further comprises flowing oxygen into a precursor activator at a second flow rate. The method further comprises flowing argon into the precursor activator at a third flow rate. The method further comprises generating a plasma in the precursor activator from the oxygen and argon. The method further comprises flowing the plasma into the processing chamber, wherein the plasma mixes with the hydrogen gas to create an activated processing gas. The method further comprises exposing the substrate to the activated gas to form an oxide film on the substrate. A growth rate of the oxide film is controlled by adjusting the third flow rate.

摘要： A method for processing a semiconductor substrate in a chamber includes forming a silicon oxynitride film using a two-step anneal process. The first anneal step includes annealing the silicon oxynitride film in the presence of an oxidizing gas that has a partial pressure of about 1 to about 100 mTorr, and the second anneal step includes annealing the silicon oxynitride film with oxygen gas that has a flow rate of about 1 slm. The first anneal step is performed at a higher chamber temperature and higher chamber pressure than the second anneal step.
