    摘要: Embodiments as described herein provide methods for depositing a material on a substrate during electroless deposition processes, as well as compositions of the electroless deposition solutions. In one embodiment, the substrate contains a contact aperture having an exposed silicon contact surface. In another embodiment, the substrate contains a contact aperture having an exposed silicide contact surface. The apertures are filled with a metal contact material by exposing the substrate to an electroless deposition process. The metal contact material may contain a cobalt material, a nickel material, or alloys thereof. Prior to filling the apertures, the substrate may be exposed to a variety of pretreatment processes, such as preclean processes and activations processes. A preclean process may remove organic residues, native oxides, and other contaminants during a wet clean process or a plasma etch process. Embodiments of the process also provide the deposition of additional layers, such as a capping layer.

    摘要: A silicon nitride layer (34) has improved adhesion to underlying copper interconnect members (30) through the incorporation of an intervening copper silicide layer (32). Layer (32) is formed in-situ with a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) process for depositing silicon nitride layer (34). To form layer (32), a semiconductor substrate (12) is provided having a desired copper pattern formed thereon. The copper pattern may include copper interconnects, copper plugs, or other copper members. The substrate is placed into a PECVD reaction chamber. Silane is introduced into the reaction chamber in the absence of a plasma to form a copper silicide layer on any exposed copper surfaces. After a silicide layer of a sufficient thickness (for example, 10 to 100 angstroms) is formed, PECVD silicon nitride is deposited. The copper silicide layer improves adhesion, such that silicon nitride layer is less prone to peeling away from underlying copper members.

One embodiment of the apparatus comprises a substrate processing chamber including a top shower plate, a power source coupled to the top shower plate, a bottom shower plate, and an insulator disposed between the top shower plate and the bottom shower plate. In one aspect, the power source is adapted to selectively provide power to the top shower plate to generate a plasma from the gases between the top shower plate and the bottom shower plate. In another embodiment, a power source is coupled to the top shower plate and the bottom shower plate to generate a plasma between the bottom shower plate and the substrate support. One embodiment of the method comprises performing in a single chamber one or more of the processes including, but not limited to, cyclical layer deposition, combined cyclical layer deposition and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition; plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition; and/or chemical vapor deposition.
