    摘要: Embodiments herein provide for radical based treatment of silicon nitride layers deposited using a flowable chemical vapor deposition (FCVD) process. Radical based treatment of the FCVD deposited silicon nitride layers desirably increases the number of stable Si—N bonds therein, removes undesirably hydrogen impurities therefrom, and desirably provides for further crosslinking, densification, and nitridation (nitrogen incorporation) in the resulting silicon nitride layer. In one embodiment, a method of forming a silicon nitride layer includes positioning a substrate on a substrate support disposed in the processing volume of a processing chamber and treating a silicon nitride layer deposited on the substrate. Treating the silicon nitride layer includes flowing one or more radical species of a first gas comprising NH3, N2, H2, Ar, He, or combinations thereof and exposing a silicon nitride layer to the radical species.

    摘要: Aspects disclosed herein relate to methods of depositing pure silicon oxide on a substrate using Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (OMCTS) precursor. In one aspect, the method generally includes positioning a substrate in a processing chamber, introducing an oxygen-containing gas into the processing chamber, introducing OMCTS precursor into the processing chamber, and reacting the oxygen-containing gas and the OMCTS precursor to remove carbon and deposit pure silicon oxide on the substrate.

    摘要: Implementations of the present disclosure provide methods for processing substrates in a processing chamber. In one implementation, the method includes (a) depositing a dielectric layer on a first substrate at a first chamber pressure using a first high-frequency RF power, (b) depositing sequentially a dielectric layer on N substrates subsequent to the first substrate at a second chamber pressure, wherein N is an integral number of 5 to 10, and wherein depositing each substrate of N substrates comprises using a second high-frequency RF power that has a power density of about 0.21 W/cm2 to about 0.35 W/cm2 lower than that of the first high-frequency RF power, (c) performing a chamber cleaning process without the presence of a substrate, and (d) repeating (a) to (c).

    摘要: Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to systems and methods to prevent free radical damage to sensitive components in a process chamber and optimizing flow profiles. The processing chamber utilizes a cover substrate on lift pins and an inert bottom purge flow to shield the substrate support from halogen reactants. During a clean process, the cover substrate and the purge flow restricts halogen reactants from contacting the substrate support. The method of cleaning includes placing a cover substrate on a plurality of lift pins that extend through a substrate support in a processing chamber, raising the cover substrate via the lift pins to expose a space between the cover substrate and the substrate support, supplying a halogen containing gas into the processing chamber, supplying a second gas through an opening in the processing chamber, and flowing the second gas through the space between the cover substrate and the substrate support.
