Publication number: 20230343581Abstract: The disclosure relates to the inherently selective mixed oxide deposition of a dielectric film on non-metallic substrates without concomitant growth on metallic substrates using a sequence of exposure to metal alkyl, heteroatom silacyclic compound, and water. The resulting films show much higher growth rates than corresponding metal oxide and inherent selectivity towards non-metallic surfaces. Films as thick as 14 nm can be grown on dielectric substrates such as thermal oxide and silicon nitride without any growth observed on metallic films such as copper and without the use of an inhibitor. Such dielectric-on-dielectric (DoD) growth is a critical element of many proposed fabrication schemes for future semiconductor device fabrication such as fully self-aligned vias.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2023Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventor: Chad Michael BRICK
