Publication number: 20080063809Abstract: A thermal processing system and method for curing a dielectric film. The thermal processing system is configured to treat the dielectric film with ultraviolet (UV) radiation and infrared (IR) radiation in order to cure the dielectric film. The thermal processing system can include an array if IR and UV light-emitting devices (LEDs) configured to irradiate a substrate having a low dielectric constant (low-k) film. The method dries the dielectric film to remove contaminants from the film and exposes the dielectric film at a single stage to ultraviolet radiation and IR radiation.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2006Publication date: March 13, 2008Applicant: TOKYO ELECTRON LIMITEDInventors: Eric M. Lee, Junjun Liu

Publication number: 20080026162Abstract: A radical-enhanced atomic layer deposition (REALD) system and method involves moving a substrate along a circulating or reciprocating transport path between zones that provide alternating exposure to a precursor gas and a gaseous radical species. The radical species may be generated in-situ within a reaction chamber by an excitation source such as plasma generator or ultraviolet radiation (UV), for example. The gaseous radical species is maintained in a radicals zone within the reaction chamber while a precursor gas is introduced into a precursor zone. The precursor zone is spaced apart from the radicals zone to define a radical deactivation zone therebetween. Purge gas flowing through the various zones may provide flow and pressure conditions that substantially prevent the precursor gas from flowing into the radicals zone. In some embodiments, the system includes a partition having one or more flow-restricting passageways though which the substrate is transported.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2007Publication date: January 31, 2008Inventors: Eric R. Dickey, William A. Barrow
