    摘要: A method is described for a plasma treatment of a TiCl4 based CVD deposited TiN layer that reduces stress, lowers resistivity, and improves film stability. Resistivity is stable in an air ambient for up to 48 hours after the plasma treatment. A TiN layer is treated with a N-containing plasma that includes N2, NH3, or N2H4 at a temperature between 500° C. and 700° C. Optionally, H2 may be added to N2 in the plasma step which removes chloride impurities and densifies the TiN layer. The TiN layer may serve as a barrier layer, an ARC layer, or as a bottom electrode in a MIM capacitor. An improved resistance of the treated TiN layer to oxidation during formation of an oxide based insulator layer and a lower leakage current in the MIM capacitor is also achieved.

    摘要: A novel method for forming electrodes in the fabrication of an MIM (metal-insulator-metal) capacitor, is disclosed. The method improves MIM capacitor performance by preventing plasma-induced damage to a dielectric layer during deposition of a top electrode on the dielectric layer, as well as by reducing or preventing the formation of an interfacial layer between the dielectric layer and the electrode or electrodes, in fabrication of the MIM capacitor. The method typically includes the patterning of crown-type capacitor openings in a substrate; depositing a bottom electrode in each of the crown openings; subjecting the bottom electrode to a rapid thermal processing (RTP) or furnace anneal step; depositing a dielectric layer on the annealed bottom electrode; depositing a top electrode on the dielectric layer using a plasma-free CVD (chemical vapor deposition) or ALD (atomic layer deposition) process; and patterning the top electrode of each MIM capacitor.

    摘要: A method for reducing leakage current in a semiconductor structure is disclosed. One or more dielectric layers are formed on a semiconductor substrate, on which at least one device is constructed. A hydrogen-containing layer is formed over the dielectric layers. A silicon nitride passivation layer covers the dielectric layers and the hydrogen-containing layer. The hydrogen atoms of the hydrogen-containing layer are introduced into the dielectric layers without being blocked by the silicon nitride layer, thereby reducing leakage current therein.

    摘要: An atomic layer deposition method for forming a microelectronic layer employs a reactor chamber pressure of greater than about 500 mtorr and more preferably from about 20 to about 50 torr. By employing a reactor chamber pressure within the foregoing range, the microelectronic layer is formed with an enhanced deposition rate while employing the atomic layer deposition method, due to a gas phase chemical vapor deposition component to the atomic layer deposition method.
