    Abstract: Aspects of the invention include a method and apparatus for processing a substrate using a multi-chamber processing system (e.g., a cluster tool) adapted to process substrates in one or more batch and/or single substrate processing chambers to increase the system throughput. In one embodiment, a system is configured to perform a substrate processing sequence that contains batch processing chambers only, or batch and single substrate processing chambers, to optimize throughput and minimize processing defects due to exposure to a contaminating environment. In one embodiment, a batch processing chamber is used to increase the system throughput by performing a process recipe step that is disproportionately long compared to other process recipe steps in the substrate processing sequence that are performed on the cluster tool. In another embodiment, two or more batch chambers are used to process multiple substrates using one or more of the disproportionately long processing steps in a processing sequence. Aspects of the invention also include an apparatus and method for delivering a precursor to a processing chamber so that a repeatable ALD or CVD deposition process can be performed.

    Abstract: A polysilicon film is formed with enhanced selectivity by flowing chlorine during the formation of the film. The chlorine acts as an etchant to insulative areas adjacent polysilicon structures on which the film is desired to be formed. Bottom electrodes for capacitors are formed using this process, followed by an anneal to create hemishperical grain (HSG) polysilicon. Multilayer capacitor containers are formed in a non-oxidizing ambient so that no oxide is formed between the layers. The structure formed is planarized to form separate containers made from doped and undoped amorphous silicon layers. Selected ones of undoped layers are seeded in a chlorine containing environment and annealed to form HSG. A dielectric layer and second electrode are formed to complete the cell capacitor.
