Abstract: Methods are described for forming a dielectric layer on a semiconductor substrate. The methods may include providing a silicon-containing precursor and an energized nitrogen-containing precursor to a chemical vapor deposition chamber. The silicon-containing precursor and the energized nitrogen-containing precursor may be reacted in the chemical vapor deposition chamber to deposit a flowable silicon-carbon-nitrogen material on the substrate. The methods may further include treating the flowable silicon-carbon-nitrogen material to form the dielectric layer on the semiconductor substrate.

Abstract: Methods are described for forming and curing a flowable silicon-carbon-and-nitrogen-containing layer on a semiconductor substrate. The silicon and carbon constituents may come from a silicon and carbon containing precursor while the nitrogen may come from a nitrogen-containing precursor that has been activated to speed the reaction of the nitrogen with the silicon-and-carbon-containing precursor at lower deposition chamber temperatures. The initially-flowable silicon-carbon-and-nitrogen-containing layer is treated to remove components which enabled the flowability, but are no longer needed after deposition. Removal of the components increases etch resistance in order to allow the gapfill silicon-carbon-and-nitrogen-containing layer to remain intact during subsequent processing. The treatments have been found to decrease the evolution of properties of the film upon exposure to atmosphere.

Abstract: A method of forming a silicon oxide layer is described. The method first deposits a silicon-nitrogen-and-hydrogen-containing (polysilazane) film by radical-component chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The silicon-nitrogen-and-hydrogen-containing film is formed by combining a radical precursor (excited in a remote plasma) with an unexcited carbon-free silicon precursor. A capping layer is formed over the silicon-nitrogen-and-hydrogen-containing film to avoid time-evolution of underlying film properties prior to conversion into silicon oxide. The capping layer is formed by combining a radical oxygen precursor (excited in a remote plasma) with an unexcited silicon-and-carbon-containing-precursor. The films are converted to silicon oxide by exposure to oxygen-containing environments. The two films may be deposited within the same substrate processing chamber and may be deposited without breaking vacuum.

Abstract: Methods of forming a dielectric layer are described. The methods include the steps of mixing a silicon-containing precursor with a plasma effluent, and depositing a silicon-and-nitrogen-containing layer on a substrate. The silicon-and-nitrogen-containing layer is converted to a silicon-and-oxygen-containing layer by curing in an ozone-containing atmosphere in the same substrate processing region used for depositing the silicon-and-nitrogen-containing layer. Another silicon-and-nitrogen-containing layer may be deposited on the silicon-and-oxygen-containing layer and the stack of layers may again be cured in ozone all without removing the substrate from the substrate processing region. After an integral multiple of dep-cure cycles, the conversion of the stack of silicon-and-oxygen-containing layers may be annealed at a higher temperature in an oxygen-containing environment.

The reactive oxygen may be introduced before the SiConi™ etch reducing the carbon content in the near surface region and allowing the SiConi™ etch to proceed more rapidly. Alternatively, reactive oxygen may be introduced during the SiConi™ etch further improving the effective etch rate.

At least a portion of amorphous silicon components are oxidized to become part of the second silicon oxide layer and unreacted residual hydroxyl groups and carbon species in the second silicon oxide layer are substantially removed.
