Abstract
用以選擇性地沉積一鈷層的方法在此被提供。在一些實施例中,一種用以選擇性地沉積一鈷層的方法包括以下步驟:暴露一基材於一第一製程氣體以鈍化一暴露介電質表面,其中該基材包含一介電質層與一金屬層,該介電質層具有一暴露介電質表面,該金屬層具有一暴露金屬表面;及使用一熱沉積製程來選擇性地沉積一鈷層於該暴露金屬表面上。
Description
本文的實施例大致上關於選擇性地沉積一鈷層於一基材上的方法。
在金屬互連(例如銅互連)的形成中,沉積一鈷帽蓋層於銅互連與後續形成之介電質阻障物層之間係改善金屬與介電質之間的附著性及金屬與介電質部分之間的界面的可靠度。然而,本案發明人已經觀察到的是典型的鈷沉積製程是利用需要電漿製程的前驅物的電漿沉積製程。本案發明人已經觀察到的是這樣的電漿製程會對周圍的介電質材料(例如具有低介電常數的介電質材料)造成損壞。
因此,本發發明人已經研發出選擇性地沉積一鈷層於一基材上的改善的技術。
用以選擇性地沉積一鈷層的方法在此被提供。在一些實施例中,一種用以選擇性地沉積一鈷層的方法包括以下步驟:暴露一基材於一第一製程氣體以鈍化一暴露介電質表面,其中該基材包含一介電質層與一金屬層,該介電質層具有一暴露介電質表面,該金屬層具有一
暴露金屬表面;及使用一熱沉積製程來選擇性地沉積一鈷層於該暴露金屬表面上。
在一些實施例中,一種用以選擇性地沉積一鈷層的方法包括以下步驟:在約200℃至約800℃的溫度下暴露一基材於一還原氣體,該基材包含一介電質層與一金屬層,該介電質層具有一暴露介電質表面,該金屬層具有一暴露金屬表面,或暴露該基材於由一還原氣體所形成的一電漿,或暴露該基材於一UV光活化還原氣體,以從銅表面與該介電質表面移除污染物;暴露該基材於一第一製程氣體以鈍化該暴露介電質表面且改善該介電質層的介電常數約1%至約10%;使用一熱沉積製程來選擇性地沉積一鈷層於該金屬表面上;及在選擇性地沉積該鈷層之後,暴露該基材於該第一製程氣體,以改善該暴露介電質層的該介電常數約1%至約10%。
在一些實施例中,一種電腦可讀媒體,具有被儲存在該電腦可讀媒體上的指令,該些指令被執行時會使一製程腔室執行一選擇性地沉積一鈷層的方法。該方法可包括在此所揭示的任一實施例。
本文的其他與進一步的實施例係在以下被描述。

為促進瞭解,在可能時已經使用相同的元件符號來表示該等圖式共有的相同元件。圖式未依比例繪製且為了清晰起見被簡化。一實施例的元件與特徵可有利地被併入到其他實施例而不需特別詳述。
用以選擇性地沉積一鈷層的方法在此被提供。此發明方法係使用熱沉積製程以避免對具有低介電常數的周圍的介電質材料造成損壞而有利地提供一鈷帽蓋層在一金屬互連(例如銅互連)上的選擇性沉積。此發明方法可被利用在積體電路中的金屬互連的形成中,或在一金屬接觸間隙填充製程的金屬閘極的形成中,以及利用選擇性地經沉積的鈷層的其他適當的應用。
第1圖圖示根據本文一些實施例之用以選擇性地沉積一鈷層的方法100的流程圖。方法100係在以下參照第2A~2E圖所示選擇性地沉積一鈷帽蓋層的階段播描述且可被執行在例如一適當的反應器(諸如以下參照第3圖所描述者)中。
方法100開始於藉由提供一基材200到一製程腔室(諸如以下參照第3圖所描述者)。基材200可以是具有一或更多個特徵結構216的任何適當的基材。例如,基材200可包含矽(Si)、氧化矽(SiO2)或諸如此類者的一或多者。此外,基材200可包括額外的材料層或可具有一或更多個完成或部分完成的結構。
在一些實施例中,如第2A圖所示,基材200包括設置在基材200上的一介電質層202。介電質層202包含一介電質表面208,介電質表面208具有一或更多個特徵結構216被形成在介電質表面208中。介電質層202含有一介電質材料,諸如氧化矽(SiO2)、氮化矽(SiN)、低k材料、或諸如此類者。在一些實施例中,低k材料可以是碳摻雜介電質材料(諸如碳摻雜氧化矽(SiOC)、可從美國加州聖大克勞拉市的應用材料公司取得之BLACK DIAMOND®)、有機摻雜矽玻璃(OSG)、氟摻雜矽玻璃(FSG)、或諸如此類者。如在此所使用,低k材料是具有約2.2至3且更尤其地約2.4至約2.8的介電常數的材料。特徵結構216包含一開口220,開口220被形成在介電質層202的介電質表面208中且從遠離介電
質表面208朝向介電質層202的相對第二表面延伸到介電質層202內。開口220可以是任何適當的開口,諸如介層洞、溝槽、雙鑲嵌結構、或諸如此類者。可藉由使用任何適當蝕刻製程而蝕刻介電質層來形成開口220。
在一些實施例中,使用任何適當的沉積製程(例如物理氣相沉積製程、化學氣相沉積製程、或原子層沉積製程)將一阻障物層204沉積在開口220內。阻障物層204可作為介電質層202與一待後續地被沉積在開口中的含金屬層之間的電氣與/或物理阻障物,與/或可作為一比基材的原生表面更佳之用於在後續的含金屬層沉積期間接附的表面。在一些實施例中,阻障物層204可具有任何適當的厚度以作為阻障物層,例如在約5Å至約50Å的範圍內。阻障物層204可含有鈦、氮化鈦、鉭、氮化鉭、鎢、氮化鎢、上述的衍生物、或上述的組合物。在一些實施例中,阻障物層204可含有一鉭/氮化鉭雙層或鈦/氮化鈦雙層。
在一些實施例中,在形成阻障物層204之後,開口220可被填充有一導電(即金屬)材料,諸如銅、鎢、氮化鈦、鈷、或諸如此類者。可使用此技術領域中已知之任何適當的金屬沉積製程來沉積金屬層206,例如物理氣相沉積製程、化學氣相沉積製程、電化學鍍覆製程、或諸如此類者。在一些實施例中,一研磨製程(諸如化學機械研磨製程)可後續地被執行,以從介電質層202的介電質表面208移除過量的金屬材料與阻障物材料。
在一些實施例中,研磨製程會在金屬層206的暴露金屬表面222及介電質層202的介電質表面208上造成污染物的形成。例如,當金屬層206是銅時,污染物通常含有在研磨製程期間或之後被形成的氧化銅。金屬層206的暴露金屬表面222可藉由過氧化物、水、或研磨溶液中的其他試劑或藉由外界空氣內的氧所氧化。污染物亦可包括濕氣、研磨溶液殘餘物(包括界面活性劑與其他添加劑)、或被研磨掉的材料的顆粒。可藉由暴露基材於一清潔製程(其中污染物被暴露於一還原氣體)而移除污染物。在一些實施例中,可於以下所述步驟102在暴露基材於第一製程氣體210之前或的同時,暴露基材於還原氣體。在一些實施例中,還原氣體包括氫(例如H2或原子H)、氨(NH3)、氫與氨混合物(H2/NH3)、原子N、聯胺(N2H4)、醇類(例如甲醇、乙醇、或丙醇)、上述的衍生物、上述的電漿、或上述的組合物。在一些實施例中,基材200可在一熱製程中或在一電漿製程中被暴露於還原氣體。例如,在一熱製程中,基材200可被暴露於還原氣體且被加熱到約200℃至約800℃的溫度而長達約2分鐘至約20分鐘。例如,在一電漿製程中,基材200可被暴露於一還原氣體且被加熱到約100℃至約400℃的溫度。基材可被暴露於一電漿而長達2秒至約60秒,其中該電漿被產生在約200瓦至約1000瓦的功率。在一些實施例中,基材亦被暴露於還原氣體且同時地被暴露於UV光源以為了活化還原氣體。UV光源可具有足以活化還原氣
體的任何波長。在一些實施例中,UV光可具有約100nm至約400nm或更特別地約180nm至約200nm的波長。
在步驟102及如第2B圖所示,基材200被暴露於一第一製程氣體210。第一製程氣體210係鈍化介電質層202的介電質表面208,容許後續的鈷的選擇性沉積(如以下步驟104所述)。本案發明人亦已經觀察到的是暴露基材於第一製程氣體210亦有利地修復對以上討論的先前製程(諸如研磨或清潔)所造成的介電質層202的低k材料所致的損壞(即介電常數的增加)。更明確地,本案發明人已經觀察到的是暴露基材200於第一製程氣體210會改善(即減少)所損壞的介電質層202的介電常數達約1%至約10%。在一些實施例中,第一製程氣體可包含一含矽烷化合物,諸如双(二甲基胺)二甲基矽烷、二甲基胺三甲基矽烷、1-(三甲基矽基)-1氫-吡咯、氯三甲基矽烷、或上述的組合物。在一些實施例中,第一製程氣體210可包含醇類,諸如乙醇、丙醇、丁醇、或諸如此類者。在一些實施例中,第一製程氣體可包含一含乙烯基矽烷化合物。示範性含乙烯基矽烷化合物可具有以下化學式:
R1、R2、和R3各個別地選自氫(H)、烷基(例如甲基、乙基、丙基、丁基等)、烷氧基(例如甲氧基、乙
氧基、丙氧基等)、氯、與乙烯基。其他取代的乙烯基矽烷亦落入在此所述的實施方式中。示範性乙烯基矽烷包括乙烯基矽烷、三甲基乙烯基矽烷(TMVS)、乙烯基三氯矽烷、乙烯基三甲氧基矽烷、乙烯基三乙氧基矽烷、乙烯基三(2-甲氧基乙氧基)矽烷、乙烯基三異丙氧基矽烷、乙烯基三(四-丁基過氧)矽烷、乙烯基二甲基氯矽烷、乙烯基二甲基乙氧基矽烷、乙烯基甲基二氯矽烷、乙烯基甲基二甲氧基矽烷、乙烯基甲基二乙氧基矽烷、甲基乙烯基二(n-甲基乙醯氨基)矽烷、甲基乙烯基二(5-己內醯胺)矽烷、双(甲基二氯矽基)乙烷、與上述的組合物。在一實施方式中,含乙烯基矽烷化合物是三甲基乙烯基矽烷(TMVS)。
在一些實施例中,基材200在約25℃至約400℃的溫度下被暴露於第一製程氣體210。例如,在一些實施例中,如以下所討論,當方法100被執行在單一設備中時,基材在約250℃至約350℃的溫度下被暴露於第一製程氣體210。在一些實施例中,當步驟102被執行在一設備中且步驟104(如以下所述)被執行在第二設備中時,基材200在約25℃至約400℃的溫度下被暴露於第一製程氣體210。在一些實施例中,基材被暴露於第一製程氣體210長達約10至約300秒,例如約10至約60秒。在一些實施例中,第一製程氣體210到製程腔室的流速是約10sccm至約1000sccm,例如約50sccm至約400sccm。在一些實施例中,基材在約1至約100托的設備壓
力下被暴露於第一製程氣體210。在一些實施例中,第一製程氣體210更包含氫氣(H2)與惰性氣體(諸如氬、氦、氪、或諸如此類者)。
在步驟104,如第2C圖所示,一鈷層214選擇性地被沉積在金屬層206的暴露金屬表面222上,而使得介電質層202的介電質表面208不含有或實質上不含有鈷形成。鈷層214是藉由暴露基材200於一鈷前驅物氣體212來沉積。鈷層214是藉由在製程腔室302中經由適當熱沉積製程(例如熱化學氣相沉積製程或熱原子層沉積製程)之鈷前驅物氣體212的熱沉積來形成。在一些實施例中,基材在適於熱沉積的溫度(例如在約200℃至約400℃的溫度)下被暴露於鈷前驅物氣體212。在一些實施例中,鈷前驅物氣體212可如以下所述並同一承載氣體(例如一惰性氣體,諸如氬、氦、氮、或諸如此類者)被提供到製程腔室302。在一些實施例中,可被提供到對於形成鈷材料是有用之製程腔室302的適當的反應物氣體包括氫、氨、氮、氬、與上述的組合物。
鈷前驅物氣體212是適合用於熱沉積的氣體。例如,在一些實施例中,適當的鈷前驅物氣體包括:鈷羰基錯合物、鈷二烯基錯合物、鈷亞硝醯基錯合物、上述的衍生物、上述的錯合物、上述的電漿、或上述的組合物。在一些實施例中,鈷羰基化合物或錯合物可被用作為鈷前驅物。鈷羰基化合物或錯合物具有分子式(CO)xCoyLz,其中x可以是1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8、
9、10、11、或12,Y可以是1、2、3、4、或5,且Z可以是1、2、3、4、5、6、7、或8。基團L可不存在,可以是一個配位基或多個配位基(可以是相同的配位基或不同的配位基),並且包括環戊二烯、烷基環戊二烯(例如甲基環戊二烯或五甲基環戊二烯)、戊二烯、烷基戊二烯、環丁二烯、丁二烯、乙烯、丙烯基(或丙烯)、烯烴、二烯烴、炔烴、乙炔、丁基乙炔、亞硝醯醯、氨、上述的衍生物、上述的錯合物、上述的電漿、或上述的組合物。一些示範性鈷羰基錯合物包括環戊二烯鈷双(羰)(CpCo(CO)2)、三羰丙烯鈷((CO)3Co(CH2CH=CH2))、二鈷六羰丁基乙炔(CCTBA,(CO)6Co2(HC≡CtBu))、二鈷六羰甲基丁基乙炔((CO)6Co2(MeC≡CtBu))、二鈷六羰苯基乙炔((CO)6Co2(HC≡CPh))、六羰甲基苯基乙炔((CO)6Co2(MeC≡CPh))、二鈷六羰甲基乙炔((CO)6Co2(HC≡CMe))、二鈷六羰二甲基乙炔((CO)6Co2(MeC≡CMe))、上述的衍生物、上述的錯合物、上述的電漿、或上述的組合物。
在一些實施例中,鈷醯胺基錯合物可被用作為鈷前驅物。鈷醯胺基錯合物具有分子式(RR’N)xCo,其中x可以是1、2、或3,並且R與R’是獨立的氫、甲基、乙基、丙基、丁基、烷基、矽基、烷矽基、上述的衍生物、或上述的組合物。一些示範性鈷醯胺基錯合物包括双(二(丁基二甲基矽基)醯胺基)鈷(((BuMe2Si)2N)2Co)、
双(二(乙基二甲基矽基)醯胺基)鈷(((EtMe2Si)2N)2Co)、双(二(丙基二甲基矽基)醯胺基)鈷(((PrMe2Si)2N)2Co)、双(二(三甲基矽基)醯胺基)鈷(((Me3Si)2N)2Co)、三(二(三甲基矽基)醯胺基)鈷(((Me3Si)2N)3Co)、上述的衍生物、上述的錯合物、上述的電漿、或上述的組合物。
在一些實施例中,鈷前驅物氣體212是鈷脒基錯合物。鈷脒基錯合物具有以下的化學式:
適當的鈷脒基的實例包括鈷二(N,N’-二-三級-丁基乙脒)、鈷双(N,N’-二異丙基乙脒)、鈷双(N-三級-丁基-N’-乙基乙脒)、鈷双(N-N’-二-三級-丁基-丙脒)、與鈷双(N-三級-丁基-N’-乙基丁脒)。
在一些實施例中,鈷前驅物氣體212是双(1,4-三級-丁基-1,3-二氮丁二烯)鈷(II)家族的化學品。双(1,4-三級-丁基-1,3-二氮丁二烯)鈷(II)具有以下的化學式:
其中R1是三級-丁基、異丙基、或異丁基的一者;R2是三級-丁基、或異丙基的一者;R3是氫、甲基、或乙基的一者;及R4是氫、甲基、或乙基的一者。
一些示範性鈷前驅物包括甲基環戊二烯鈷双(羰基)(MeCpCo(CO)2)、乙基環戊二烯鈷双(羰基)(EtCpCo(CO)2)、五甲基環戊二烯鈷双(羰基)(Me5CpCo(CO)2)、二鈷八(羰基)(Co2(CO)8)、亞硝醯醯鈷三(羰基)((ON)Co(CO)3)、双(環戊二烯)鈷、(環戊二烯)鈷(環己二烯)、環戊二烯鈷(1,3-己二烯)、(環丁二烯)鈷(環戊二烯)、双(甲基環戊二烯)鈷、(環戊二烯)鈷(5-甲基環戊二烯)、双(乙烯)鈷(五甲基環戊二烯)、碘化鈷四羰基、鈷四羰基三氯矽烷、氯化羰基三(三甲基膦)鈷、鈷三羰基-氫三丁基膦、乙炔二鈷六羰基、乙炔二鈷五羰基三乙基膦、上述的衍生物、上述的錯合物、上述的電漿、或上述的組合物。
在一些實施例中,鈷在暴露金屬表面222上的沉積速率對鈷在暴露介電質表面208上的沉積速率之比
例為約200:1至約3000:1。在一些實施例中,鈷層214的厚度是約10Å至約40Å。在一些實施例中,一惰性氣體(例如氬、氦、氪、或諸如此類者)併同鈷前驅物氣體被供應到製程腔室。
本案發明人已經觀察到的是使用電漿沉積製程來選擇性地沉積鈷層會對介電質層的低k材料造成損壞。因此,在此所述的方法100係有利地使用熱沉積製程以第一製程氣體210來處理介電質層202,且可僅使用熱沉積製程而選擇性地沉積鈷層214。
可選地,如第2D圖所示,基材200可再次被暴露於如上所述的第一製程氣體210,以進一步修復對以上討論的先前製程或在形成鈷層214之後而執行的任何額外製程所造成的介電質層202的低k材料所致的損壞(即介電常數的增加)。更明確地,本案發明人已經觀察到的是再次暴露基材200於第一製程氣體210係進一步改善(即減少)所損壞的介電質層202的介電常數約1%至約10%。在一些實施例中,基材可於以上在步驟102所討論的製程狀態下或在不同的製程狀態下再次被暴露於第一製程氣體210。例如在一些實施例中,基材再次被暴露於第一製程氣體210長達約10至約300秒,例如約60至約300秒。在一些實施例中,第一製程氣體210到製程腔室的流速是約10sccm至約1000sccm,例如約50sccm至約1000sccm。
在鈷層的沉積或可選地進一步暴露於第一製程氣體210之後,方法100大致上結束且基材200可進行進一步處理。在一些實施例中,後續的製程(諸如沉積、蝕刻、退火、或諸如此類者)可被執行以製造一完成的元件。
在一些實施例中,如第2E圖所示,如上所述之一低k材料的介電質阻障物層224可被沉積在鈷層214與介電質層202的介電質表面208上方。
在一些實施例中,取決於所形成的元件的結構,步驟102~104可被重複以沉積鈷層到一預定厚度。例如,第4A圖圖示一基材400(類似上述的基材200)具有一金屬層402設置在基材400上。金屬層402可以是銅、鎢、氮化鈦、鈷、或諸如此類者。一或更多個介電質層404可設置在金屬層402上。介電質層404可以是如上所述的低k材料。
在一些實施例中,一圖案化罩幕層(patterned mask layer)(未示出)可被形成在介電質層404上,以蝕刻特徵結構406到介電質層404內,而到金屬層402的表面。圖案化罩幕層可以是任何適當的罩幕層,諸如硬罩幕或光阻劑層。可藉由任何製程來形成圖案化罩幕層,其中該製程適合用以形成一圖案化罩幕層,圖案化罩幕層能提供用以在下方介電質層404中定義一圖案之適當的樣版。例如,在一些實施例中,可經由一圖案化蝕刻製程來形成此圖案化罩幕層。
在一些實施例中,特徵結構406可以是溝槽或通孔。可經由任何蝕刻製程來蝕刻特徵結構406,其中該蝕刻製程適於蝕刻介電質材料以形成具有垂直或實質上垂直側壁的特徵結構406。例如,基材400可被暴露於一蝕刻電漿,其中該蝕刻電漿是使用一含鹵素氣體(例如含氟氣體)來形成。
如上參照步驟102所述與如第4A圖所示,基材400可被暴露於一第一製程氣體408以鈍化暴露介電質表面414與側壁418,以避免鈷形成在介電質層404上且以修復由先前製程(諸如蝕刻製程)對介電質表面404所造成的損壞。其次,如上參照步驟104所述與如第4B圖所示,一鈷層410係選擇性地被沉積在金屬層402的暴露金屬表面412上,而使得介電質層404的介電質表面414與側壁418不含有或實質上不含有鈷形成。鈷層410是經由鈷前驅物氣體416與上述的製程狀態來沉積。在一些實施例中,如第4C和4D圖所示,取決於特徵結構406的深度,步驟102~104可被重複以沉積鈷層410達一預定厚度,例如填滿特徵結構406而不會在特徵結構406中形成孔隙。
第3圖圖示可用以實施在此所討論之本文的實施例的這種示意性設備300的示意圖。設備300可以是適合用於執行一或更多個製程(例如但不限於諸如化學氣相沉積(CVD)、原子層沉積(ALD)、或諸如此類者的沉積製程)的任何設備。在一些實施例中,製程腔室302可
以是一獨立的設備300(如以下所述),或製程腔室302可以是一群集工具(諸如可從美國加州聖大克勞拉市的應用材料公司取得之CENTURA®、PRODUCER®,或ENDURA®群集工具)的部分。例如,在一些實施例中,金屬層206的暴露金屬表面222與介電質層202的介電質表面208上之污染物的移除以及在步驟102基材對第一製程氣體210的暴露可在單一製程腔室302中被執行,其中該製程腔室302耦接到一群集工具,而在步驟104所述之鈷的選擇性沉積可被執行在一耦接到此群集工具之不同的製程腔室302。在一些實施例中,步驟102和104可被執行在單一製程腔室302中,其中該製程腔室302耦接到一群集工具,而金屬層206的暴露金屬表面222與介電質層202的介電質表面208上的污染物的移除被執行在一耦接到此群集工具之不同的製程腔室。
設備300可包含一控制器350與一製程腔室302,製程腔室302具有一用以從製程腔室302的內部空間305移除過量製程氣體、處理副產物、或諸如此類者的排放系統320。示範性製程腔室可包括設以用於化學氣相沉積(CVD)或原子層沉積(ALD)一些製程腔室的任一者,其可從美國加州聖大克勞拉市的應用材料公司取得。可類似地使用來自其他製造業者之其他適當的製程腔室。
製程腔室302具有一內部空間305,內部空間305可包括一處理空間304。處理空間304可被界定在例如一基材支撐件308與一或更多個氣體入口(諸如噴頭
314與/或被提供在預定位置處的噴嘴)之間,其中該基材支撐件308設置在製程腔室302中而用以在處理期間支撐基材支撐件308上的基材310。在一些實施例中,基材支撐件308可包括一機構,該機構係保持或支撐基材310在基材支撐件308的表面上,諸如靜電夾盤、真空夾盤、基材保持夾具、或諸如此類者(未示出)。在一些實施例中,基材支撐件308可包括用以控制基材溫度的機構(諸如加熱與/或冷卻裝置,未示出),與/或用以控制物種通量及/或靠近基材表面的離子能量的機構。
例如,在一些實施例中,基材支撐件308可包括一RF偏壓電極340。RF偏壓電極340可透過一或更多個個別匹配網路(如圖所示的匹配網路336)而耦接到一或更多個偏壓功率源(如圖所示的一個偏壓功率源338)。該一或更多個偏壓功率源能在約2MHz至約60MHz的頻率下(諸如在約2MHz、或約13.56MHz、或約60MHz下)產生高達1200瓦或RF能量。在一些實施例中,可提供兩個偏壓功率源,以在約2MHz與約13.56MHz的個別頻率下透過個別的匹配網路將RF功率耦接到RF偏壓電極340。該至少一偏壓功率源可提供連續式或脈衝式功率。在一些實施例中,偏壓功率源替代地可以是一DC或脈衝式DC源。
基材310可經由位在製程腔室302的壁中的開口312進入製程腔室302。開口312可經由一狹縫閥318或其他機構選擇性地被密封,以選擇性地提供透過開
口312的到腔室內部的進出。基材支撐件308可耦接到一升降機構334,升降機構334可控制基材支撐件308的位置於一適於傳送基材經由開口312進出腔室的較低位置(如圖所示)與一可選之適於處理的較高位置之間。處理位置可經選擇,以將特定製程的製程均勻性予以最大化。當位在上升處理位置的至少一者時,基材支撐件308可設置在開口312上方,以提供對稱的處理區域。
該一或更多個氣體入口(例如噴頭314)可耦接到一氣體供應器316,以透過一質流控制器317提供一或更多個製程氣體到製程腔室302的處理空間304內。此外,可提供一或更多個閥319以控制該一或更多個氣體的流量。該質流控制器317與該一或更多個閥319可個別地被使用,或併同地被使用,或被脈衝化(如上所述),以在恆定流速下提供製程氣體於預定流速。
儘管第3圖顯示一噴頭314,可提供額外或替代的氣體入口,諸如噴嘴,或設置在室頂中或在製程腔室302的側壁上或在適於提供氣體到製程腔室302的其他位置(諸如製程腔室的基底、基材支撐件的周圍、或諸如此類者)處的入口。
設備300可利用電容式耦合RF能量用於電漿處理。例如,製程腔室302可具有一由介電質材料製成的室頂342與一至少部分地導電以提供RF電極(或可提供一分離的RF電極)的噴頭314。噴頭314(或其他RF電極)可經由一或更多個個別的匹配網路(如圖所示的匹配
網路346)而耦接到一或更多個RF功率源(圖上顯示一個RF功率源348)。該一或更多個電漿功率源在約2MHz與/或約13.56MHz或的頻率下或高頻(諸如27MHz與/或60MHz)下能產生高達3000瓦,或在一些實施例中是高達約5000瓦,的RF能量。排放系統320大致上包括一泵送容室324與一或更多個導管,該一或更多個導管將泵送容室324耦接到製程腔室302的內部空間305(與大致上,處理空間304)。
一真空泵328可經由一泵送埠326耦接到泵送容室324,以經由一或更多個排放埠(圖上顯示兩個排放埠322)從製程腔室抽出排放氣體。真空泵328可流體地耦接到一排放出口332,以將廢氣引導至適當的排放處理設備。一閥330(諸如閘閥、或諸如此類者)可設置在泵送容室324中,以促進排放氣體的流速結合真空泵328的運作之控制。儘管圖上顯示一個z-運動閘,可利用任何適當的製程相容的閥以控制廢氣的流量。
為了促進如上所述的製程腔室302的控制,控制器350可以是可用在工業設備以控制各種腔室與次處理器的任何形式之一般目的電腦處理器的其中一者。CPU 352的記憶體或電腦可讀媒體356可以是可輕易獲得之記憶體的一或多者,諸如隨機存取記憶體(RAM)、唯讀記憶體(ROM)、軟碟、硬碟、或任何其他形式的數位儲存器,當地的或遠端的皆可。支援電路354耦接到CPU 352,而以傳統方式來支援處理器。這些電路包括
快取、功率供應器、時脈電路、輸入/輸出電路與子系統、與諸如此類者。
在此所述的本發明方法可大致上被儲存在記憶體356中作為軟體程式(software routine)358,而當CPU 352執行軟體程式358時,軟體程式358會使製程腔室302執行本文的製程。軟體程式358亦可被一第二CPU(未示出)所儲存與/或執行,該第二CPU係遠端地遠離硬體而受到CPU 352控制。本文的一些或全部的方法亦可被執行在硬體中。因此,本文能以軟體來實現,且使用硬體中的一電腦系統來執行(例如應用專有積體電路或其他類型的硬體實現,或作為軟體與硬體的組合)。在基材310定位在基材支撐件308上之後,可執行軟體程式358。軟體程式358當被CPU 352執行時會將一般目的電腦轉變成控制腔室運作的特定目的電腦(控制器)350,以致在此所揭示的方法係被執行。
可使用其他半導體基材處理系統來實施本文,其中處理參數可被熟習此技術領域之人士藉由利用在此揭示的教示卻不悖離本文精神而調整以達到可接受的特性。
儘管上述說明導向本文的實施例,可構想出本文的其他與進一步的實施例,而不悖離本文的基本範疇。
