DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present disclosure relates generally to semiconductor fabrication and, more particularly, to atomic layer deposition techniques. [Prior Art] Modern semiconductor manufacturing has established a need for accurate atomic deposition of high quality thin film structures. In response to this demand, in recent years, a large number of film growth techniques collectively referred to as atomic layer deposition (ALD) ato atomic layer epitaxy (ALE) have been developed. The A L D technology is capable of depositing a uniform and conformal film with atomic layer accuracy. A typical ALD process uses a continuous self-limiting surface reaction to achieve control of film growth in a single layer thickness state. Due to its excellent potential for film uniformity and uniformity, ALD has become the technology of choice for advanced applications such as 咼 dielectric constant (high-k) gate oxides, storage capacitor dielectrics, and microelectronic devices. The copper in the diffusion barrier. In fact, ALD technology may be useful for any south-level application that benefits from the precise control of the film structure on the nanometer (nm) or sub-nano scale. However, to date, most existing deposition techniques suffer from inherent drawbacks and have not been reliably applied to mass production in the semiconductor industry. For example, s 'molecular beam epitaxy, ( ΜΒΕ ) deposition technique uses a separate effusion cell controlled by a baffle to direct different types of atoms to a substrate surface on which the atoms are The upper ones react to form a desired single layer. In a solid source MBE process, the effusion cell is heated to a relatively high temperature for the thermal separation of the constituent atoms. 7200837212 23812pif =; a very high vacuum must be maintained to ensure that the constituent atoms reach the substrate surface. There is no collision between them. j bauxite vacuum requirements 'MBE film growth rate temperature and low. The purpose of the leap for the production of Otsuka is quite the temperature adjustment of the enamel crystal (ALE). For the relatively low temperature, the substrate is deposited on the surface of the substrate (& 早 early layer. Mi, the substrate temperature is raised uniformly to roughly 5 to remove the gas atom five sub-layers. Although this technology is not controlled The layer-by-layer film growth, but the requirement for repeated temperature ♦ values makes it difficult to maintain repeatability between the layer and the layer on the larger wafer. In addition, heating the substrate to the same temperature may sue or The fine structure formed on the substrate in the previous processing step is destroyed. A prior art ALD technique uses ion bombardment to desorb excessive hydrogen atoms. According to this technique, a dioxane monolayer can be formed on the surface of the substrate using dioxane (Si2H6) gas. The substrate surface is then bombarded with helium or argon ions to desorb excess helium atoms from the dioxane monolayer to form a monolayer. Perhaps due to excessive high energy ion bombardment (~50 eV ion energy), the membrane growth rate is comparable. Low (less than a single layer per cycle ,·15), and the high-energy ion current is essentially a line-of-sight process (line_〇f_sight process), which can therefore include atomic layer deposition potentials for highly conformal deposition In addition, high-energy ions can also cause crystalline defects that may require post-deposition annealing. In addition, 'conformal d叩ing for ALD-deposited films (especially in 3-D structures (eg, FinFET)) Processman 200837212 ^812pif is not suitable for the t-shaped cover structure, not only because of A: dopant properties '--3⁄4 and lack ===- species to overcome the above-mentioned non-axis - [Summary]

The apparatus may further include a plasma chamber connected to the processing chamber on one side, the plasma chamber being configured to generate a metastable steady state atom from a helium supply source. The metastable atoms may be capable of desorbing hydrogen atoms from the saturated surface of at least one of the substrates, thereby forming one or more layers of the atoms. In another particular exemplary embodiment, this technique can be implemented as a conformal doping method. The method may include forming a phase on the surface of the substrate on a deposition surface, wherein 'in each of the plurality of deposition cycles, in the middle, supplying at least one of the atoms of the first type and at least two A precursor of a second type of atom is used to saturate the surface of the substrate, and at least one atom of the second species is desorbed with the surface of the substrate to form a layer of atoms of the first type. The method may also include replacing the precursor material with a dopant precursor in at least one or more of the product cycles: at least a portion of the source, thereby doping at least one or more atomic layers of the species. A ^ See the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure as shown in the drawings, and the disclosure is described in detail. Although the disclosure of the present invention is described below with reference to the exemplary embodiments, it should be understood that the disclosure is not limited thereto. It will be appreciated that those skilled in the art will recognize additional construction, modifications, and embodiments, and other fields of use within the scope of the present disclosure as described herein, and as such, the disclosure may have Significant utility. [Embodiment] To solve the problems associated with existing atomic layer deposition techniques, embodiments of the present disclosure introduce an ALD and in-situ doping (9) J such as doping technique. Metastable atoms (metastaWe at 〇m) can be used to desorb too many atoms. Metastable atoms can be produced, for example, in a plasma chamber. For purposes of illustration, the following description will focus on methods and apparatus for depositing doped or undoped germanium using germanium metastable atoms. It should be understood that other types of films may be grown using ruthenium or other metastable atoms by the same or similar techniques. Referring to Figure 1, there is shown a block diagram illustrating an exemplary atomic layer deposition cycle 100 in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The exemplary atomic layer deposition cycle 100 can include two phases: a saturation phase 10 and a desorption phase 12. In the saturation phase 10, the substrate 102 can be exposed to a dioxane (Si2H6) body. For pin growth, the surface of the substrate may include, for example, Shixia, Ba, Ba, SOI, and/or sulphur dioxide. The two-stone gas is used as a pre-existing body' and is supplied at a sufficiently high dose to saturate the surface of the substrate to form a disulfide I 1 () 4 . However, in the text of the entire text, the use of words, saturation does not preclude the case where the surface of the substrate is only used to make the surface "filled with a spoiled object. The substrate 102 and the processing environment can be kept - carefully selected At the temperature to prevent the front surface of the precursor gas substrate from freezing or decomposing. In this embodiment, the substrate 102 is heated to and maintained at a temperature between 18 〇 QC and 400 ° C, however, the disclosure is In the scope of the substrate 102, the substrate 102 can also be heated and maintained in other temperature ranges. In the desorption phase 12, the substrate 102 can be exposed to a sufficient amount of energy, and the sorrowful atoms are used to desorb from the early layer. Too many atoms. According to this embodiment, the ruthenium metastable atoms can be used to partially or completely desorb excess hydrogen atoms from the two singular monolayers 104 formed in the saturation phase 10. This can be, for example, inductively coupled to a plasma. The helium gas is used to establish a metastable steady state atom. Each of the metastable atoms can have an internal energy of approximately 20 eV, which can be used to destroy the bond between the daylight atom and the mouse atom. According to some embodiments, inertia gas( The metastable state of nitrogen, etc., and other excited states tend to emit photons that can also indirectly drive the desorption reaction on the surface of the substrate. After the excess hydrogen atoms have been removed, the single layer 106 can be formed on the surface of the substrate. According to some embodiments, not all of the excess erbium atoms may be removed. Thus, at the end of the desorption stage 12, the surface of the ruthenium monolayer 106 may be a mixture of dangling bonds and hydrogen-terminated silicon atoms. Between the saturation stage 10 and the desorption stage 12, one or more inert gases (eg, chaotic or argon) may be used to purify the substrate surface to remove excess reactive gases and by-products (eg, hydrogen). After the saturation phase 1Q and the desorption phase The complete cycle of 12 (including the "purge step" between the two phases can be referred to as a deposition cycle". The deposition cycle can be repeated 1 〇〇 to simultaneously form a pure tantalum film (eg, crystalline type, multiple Crystal type, amorphous type, etc.), a single layer (or a partial monolayer). According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a metastable atom is used instead of an ion 12 200837212 23812pit The surface of the substrate saturated by the precursor material desorbs too many atoms θ. The metastable atoms are generated in the plasma for desorption purposes, and the charged particles (such as electrons and ions) generated in the plasma are stopped to the surface of the surface. This makes it possible to reduce or minimize the inward direction 2 attributed to the charged particles. Many measures can be taken to prevent the charged particles from being patterned into the ALD film on the surface of the substrate. For example, in the plasma = Insert one or more devices (such as a plate fc (screen)). These devices can be biased to filter out non-electric particles. Alternatively, an electromagnetic field can be established to deflect the charged particles. The orientation of the substrate surface can be adjusted to minimize two of the charged particles. For example, the substrate platform can be inverted or reversed from the line of sight of =. Alternatively, the plasma source can be positioned at a distance from the substrate such that a substantial portion of the charged particles collide and fails to reach the surface of the substrate.尔政射 or 石亚之如1 Figure 2 'There is a description of another embodiment of the present disclosure.

Dirty Ding =: Open non-ion implant, so it can be distributed.

By opening the first valve, the small chamber is first filled to the desired pressure. After closing the valve, the fixed volume of gas is released into the chamber by opening the second valve. The dioxane supply source 314 and the diboron supply source 316 can be lightly coupled to the processing chamber 302 via the first inlet 322 and can supply a sufficient amount of the ruthenium precursor gas and the boron precursor gas, respectively, to saturate the substrate 30. The argon supply source 318 and the helium supply source 320 can be coupled to the plasma chamber 304 via the second inlet 324. Argon supply source 318 can provide argon (or other inert gas) to purge system 300. The helium supply source 32〇 can supply helium gas for the plasma generation of the helium steady state atom. A screen or baffle device 326 may be present between the plasma chamber 3〇4 and the processing chamber 302, as desired.

Any vacuum technique now known or later developed can be used to achieve the shirt condition. True equipment can include, for example, mechanical pumps, turbo pumps, and cryogenic pumps (Cry〇Fmmp). The straightness is preferably at least 1 () · 7_1 () · 6 Torr' although it is within the pressure of the disclosure. For example, if a higher film is required, an even higher base vacuum is required. For low purity membranes, & lower work may be acceptable. In step 404, the substrate can be preheated to a desired temperature. Keki 17 200837212 23812pif The substrate temperature is determined based on the substrate* type, the ALD reactant, the desired growth rate, and the like. a In step 406, a helium precursor gas such as dioxane (and its carrier gas, if present) may flow into the processing chamber in which the substrate is located. The ruthenium precursor gas can be supplied at a flow rate or pressure sufficient to saturate the surface of the substrate. The flow of dioxane can last for a few seconds or up to tens of seconds. A single layer of decane may partially or completely cover the surface of the substrate. p In step 408, after the surface is saturated, the hafnium precursor can be broken, and the deposition system can be purged with one or more inert gases to remove excess hafnium precursor. - In step 410, the tantalum plasma can be accessed. That is, helium gas can flow from the plasma chamber to the processing chamber. The tantalum plasma can be either inductively coupled plasma (lGp) or any of a number of other plasma types that provide sufficient enthalpy to the helium atom to produce a helium metastable atom. The substrate in the processing chamber can be exposed to the erbium atom so that it can react with the ruthenium precursor adsorbed on the substrate to desorb non-deuterium atoms. For example, for a dioxane monolayer, the ruthenium-stable 〇 atom can help remove excess hydrogen atoms to form the desired ruthenium monolayer. Substrate ^ exposure to metastable atoms may last (for example) for a few seconds or as many as ten seconds: In step 412, the ruthenium plasma may be turned off and the deposition system may be re-purified with a plurality of inert gases. . 3 In step 414, it may be determined if any doping of the dies is required. If the time required for doping and bowing into the dopant is appropriate, then the transition can be transferred = step 416. Otherwise, the process can return to step 4〇6 to begin the next single layer of the sink stone and/or the end of the deposition layer. , 18 200837212
