    摘要: A gas delivery system for a processing chamber includes a first channel for delivering a first chemistry and a second channel for delivering a second chemistry. The first channel includes a first outlet valve and the second channel includes a second outlet valve. A trickle gas source is connected to both the first and the second channels. A first junction is coupled to the first outlet valve and a second junction is connected to the second outlet valve. A common conduit connects between the first junction and the second junction. The first junction includes an input to provide a push gas from a push gas source and the second junction includes an output to a processing chamber. During operation, one of the first channel or the second channel is active at one time. A trickle gas from a trickle gas source is flowed into an active one and a non-active one of the first or second channels. A push inert gas from the push gas source is flowed into the first junction, through the common conduit and out of the second junction to the processing chamber.

    摘要: Various embodiments herein relate to methods and apparatus for depositing silicon oxide using thermal ALD or thermal CVD. In one aspect of the disclosed embodiments, a method for depositing silicon oxide is provided, the method including: (a) receiving the substrate in a reaction chamber; (b) introducing a first flow of a first reactant into the reaction chamber and exposing the substrate to the first reactant, where the first reactant includes a silicon-containing reactant; (c) introducing a second flow of a second reactant into the reaction chamber to cause a reaction between the first reactant and the second reactant, (i) where the second reactant includes hydrogen (H2) and an oxygen-containing reactant, (ii) where the reaction deposits silicon oxide on the substrate, and (iii) where the reaction is initiated when a pressure in the reaction chamber is greater than 10 Torr and equal to or less than about 40 Torr.

    摘要: Methods and apparatuses for depositing material into high aspect ratio features are described herein. Methods involve depositing an oxide material using a hydrogen-containing oxidizing chemistry. Methods may also involve thermally treating deposited oxide material in the presence of hydrogen to remove seams within the deposited oxide material.

    摘要: A carrier ring for use in a chamber implemented for depositing films and chambers that use the carrier ring are provided. The carrier ring has an annular disk shape with an outer edge side and a wafer edge side. The carrier ring has a top carrier ring surface that extends between the outer edge side to the wafer edge side. The wafer edge side includes a lower carrier ring surface that is lower than the top carrier ring surface. The wafer edge side also includes a plurality of contact support structures. Each contact support structure is located at an edge of the lower carrier ring surface and has a height that is between the lower carrier ring surface and the top carrier ring surface, and the contact support structure has tapered edges and corners. A step is defined between the top carrier ring surface and the lower carrier ring surface, such that a top facing edge is disposed at a top of the step and a lower inner edge is disposed at the bottom of the step. Each of the top facing edge and the lower inner edge have a rounded non-sharp edge and a top of each of the contact support structures is configured for contact with a bottom edge surface of a wafer for lifting and lowering and moving the wafer.
