    摘要: Methods of forming silicon nitride thin films on a substrate in a reaction space under high pressure are provided. The methods can include a plurality of plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) cycles, where at least one PEALD deposition cycle comprises contacting the substrate with a nitrogen plasma at a process pressure of 20 Torr to 500 Torr within the reaction space. In some embodiments the silicon precursor is a silyl halide, such as H2SiI2. In some embodiments the processes allow for the deposition of silicon nitride films having improved properties on three dimensional structures. For example, such silicon nitride films can have a ratio of wet etch rates on the top surfaces to the sidewall of about 1:1 in dilute HF.

    摘要: A method is for hydrophobization of a surface of a silicon-containing film by atomic layer deposition (ALD), wherein the surface is subjected to atmospheric exposure. The method includes: (i) providing a substrate with a silicon-containing film formed thereon; and (ii) forming on a surface of the silicon-containing film a hydrophobic atomic layer as a protective layer subjected to atmospheric exposure, by exposing the surface to a silicon-containing treating gas without exciting the gas. The treating gas is capable of being chemisorbed on the surface to form a hydrophobic atomic layer thereon.

    摘要: A method for repairing process-related damage of a dielectric film includes: (i) adsorbing a first gas containing silicon on a surface of the damaged dielectric film without depositing a film in the absence of reactive species, (ii) adsorbing a second gas containing silicon on a surface of the dielectric film, followed by applying reactive species to the surface of the dielectric film, to form a monolayer film thereon, and (iii) repeating step (ii). The duration of exposing the surface to the first gas in step (i) is longer than the duration of exposing the surface to the second gas in step (ii).

    摘要: A method of spacer-defined direct patterning in semiconductor fabrication includes: providing a photoresist structure having a target width of lines; trimming the photoresist structures such that a width of each trimmed photoresist structure is smaller than the target width; depositing an oxide film on the template, thereby entirely covering with the oxide film an exposed top surface of the template and the trimmed photoresist structures; etching the oxide film-covered template to remove an unwanted portion of the oxide film without removing the trimmed photoresist structures so as to form vertical spacers isolated from each other, each spacer substantially maintaining the target width and being constituted by the trimmed photoresist structures and a vertical portion of the oxide film covering sidewalls of the trimmed photoresist structures; and etching the spacer-formed template to transfer a pattern constituted by the spacers to the template.
