High Density Plasma Cvd Process For Gapfill Into High Aspect Ratio Features

View page
US Patent:
6802944, Oct 12, 2004
Filed:
Oct 23, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/279961
Inventors:
Farhan Ahmad - Singapore, SG
Michael Awdshiew - Singapore, SG
Alok Jain - Singapore, SG
Bikram Kapoor - Santa Clara CA
Assignee:
Applied Materials, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
C23C 1434
US Classification:
20419223, 20419232, 20419237, 216 63, 216 67, 216 80, 427331, 42725528, 427578, 427307, 427314, 427402, 427534
Abstract:
A method of depositing a film on a substrate. In one embodiment, the method includes depositing a first portion of the film using a high density plasma to partially fill a gap formed between adjacent features formed on the substrate. The film deposition process is then stopped before or shortly after the entry of the gap pinches off and the film is etched to widen entry to the gap using a two step etching process that includes a first physical etch step that forms a plasma from a sputtering agent introduced into the processing chamber and biases the plasma towards the substrate and a subsequent chemical etch step that forms a plasma from a reactive etchant gas introduced into the processing chamber. After the etching sequence is complete, a second portion of the film is deposited over the first portion using a high density plasma to further fill the gap.

Hydrogen Assisted Hdp-Cvd Deposition Process For Aggressive Gap-Fill Technology

View page
US Patent:
6808748, Oct 26, 2004
Filed:
Jan 23, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/350445
Inventors:
Bikram Kapoor - Santa Clara CA
M. Ziaul Karim - San Jose CA
Anchuan Wang - Fremont CA
Assignee:
Applied Materials, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
C23C 1640
US Classification:
42725531, 42725537, 42725538, 427575, 438695
Abstract:
A method of depositing a silicon oxide layer over a substrate having a trench formed between adjacent raised surfaces. In one embodiment the silicon oxide layer is formed in a multistep process that includes depositing a first portion of layer over the substrate and within the trench by forming a high density plasma process that has simultaneous deposition and sputtering components from a first process gas comprising a silicon source, an oxygen source and helium and/or molecular hydrogen with high D/S ratio, for example, 10-20 and, thereafter, depositing a second portion of the silicon oxide layer over the substrate and within the trench by forming a high density plasma process that has simultaneous deposition and sputtering components from a second process gas comprising a silicon source, an oxygen source and molecular hydrogen with a lower D/S ratio of, for example, 3-10.

Hdp-Cvd Uniformity Control

US Patent:
6890597, May 10, 2005
Filed:
May 9, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/435296
Inventors:
Padmanabhan Krishnaraj - San Francisco CA, US
Bruno Geoffrion - San Jose CA, US
Michael S. Cox - Davenport CA, US
Lin Zhang - San Jose CA, US
Bikram Kapoor - Santa Clara CA, US
Anchuan Wang - Fremont CA, US
Zhenjiang Cui - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
Applied Materials, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
C23C016/40
US Classification:
4272481, 42725537, 427355, 438692, 438697, 438788
Abstract:
A combination of deposition and polishing steps are used to permit improved uniformity of a film after the combination of steps. Both the deposition and polishing are performed with processes that vary across the substrate. The combination of the varying deposition and etching rates results in a film that is substantially planar after the film has been polished. In some instances, it may be easier to control the variation of one of the two processes than the other so that the more controllable process is tailored to accommodate nonuniformities introduced by the less controllable process.

Hdp-Cvd Multistep Gapfill Process

US Patent:
7205240, Apr 17, 2007
Filed:
Jun 4, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/456611
Inventors:
M. Ziaul Karim - San Jose CA, US
Bikram Kapoor - Santa Clara CA, US
Anchuan Wang - Fremont CA, US
Dong Qing Li - Santa Clara CA, US
Katsunari Ozeki - Chiba, JP
Manoj Vellaikal - Santa Clara CA, US
Zhuang Li - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
Applied Materials, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
C23C 16/00
US Classification:
438694, 438695, 438692, 438424, 438435, 42725523, 42725528, 42725537, 216 59, 216 67, 216 79, 15634524, 15634533, 15634548, 118696, 118697, 118723 I, 118723 IR
Abstract:
A gapfill process is provided using cycling of HDP-CVD deposition, etching, and deposition step. The fluent gas during the first deposition step includes an inert gas such as He, but includes Hduring the remainder deposition step. The higher average molecular weight of the fluent gas during the first deposition step provides some cusping over structures that define the gap to protect them during the etching step. The lower average molecular weight of the fluent gas during the remainder deposition step has reduced sputtering characteristics and is effective at filling the remainder of the gap.

International Classification:
H01L 21/31
H01L 21/469
US Classification:
438758, 257E21546, 438788, 438771
Abstract:
Methods are provided for depositing a silicon oxide film on a substrate disposed in a substrate processing chamber. The substrate has a gap formed between adjacent raised surfaces. A process gas having a silicon-containing gas, an oxygen-containing gas, and a fluent gas is flowed into the substrate processing chamber. The fluent gas is introduced into the substrate processing chamber at a flow rate of at least 500 sccm. A plasma is formed having an ion density of at least 10ions/cmfrom the process gas to deposit a first portion of the silicon oxide film over the substrate and into the gap. Thereafter, the deposited first portion is exposed to an oxygen plasma having at least 10ions/cm. Thereafter, a second portion of the silicon oxide film is deposited over the substrate and into the gap.
