Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of semiconductor fabrication and processing and more particularly to low utilization processes accomplished by decoupled plasma nitridation, rapid thermal processing, and chemical vapor deposition.
- Low species utilization processes include the diffusion of nitrogen into silicon dioxide gate dielectric layers by decoupled plasma nitridation (DPN), the deposition of a silicon dioxide film by rapid thermal processing (RTP) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and the deposition of silicon epitaxial layers by CVD.
- DPN decoupled plasma nitridation
- RTP rapid thermal processing
- CVD chemical vapor deposition
- silicon epitaxial layers by CVD.
- Nitride diffusion into a silicon dioxide gate dielectric may be performed in a decoupled plasma nitridation (DPN) chamber. Nitrogen gas is flowed into the chamber containing the substrate on which the silicon dioxide gate dielectric is formed and a plasma is struck while the flow continues. The plasma ionizes the nitrogen and the ionized nitrogen then diffuses into the silicon dioxide gate dielectric.
- RTP rapid thermal processing
- Hydrogen (H 2 ) and oxygen (O 2 ) gas is flowed into the RTP chamber and a silicon substrate is heated up to a temperature at which the hydrogen and oxygen gases react with the silicon substrate to form a silicon dioxide layer.
- the formation of an epitaxial layer by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) may be performed in a CVD chamber.
- a precursor gas of the type of material to be deposited is flowed into the chamber, often along with a carrier or diluent gas.
- the chamber is heated to a temperature at which the precursor gases react to form a vapor and form a film on a substrate while the gas is flowed through the chamber.
- gas is flowed through the chamber and the pressure within the chamber may be different in different parts of the chamber.
- the pressure gradients may be due to the constant flow of gases into the chamber and the flow of gases pumped out of the chamber. These flow and pressure gradients may be a primary factor in causing nonuniformity across a substrate of the amounts of atoms diffused into the substrate or of the thickness of a film formed on the substrate.
- a low species utilization process is performed within a reaction chamber by flowing a gas into the reaction chamber, stopping the flow of the gas into the reaction chamber once the pressure within the chamber has stabilized, and performing the low species utilization process within the chamber after stopping the flow of gas into the chamber.
- the low species utilization process may be decoupled plasma nitridation, the deposition of a film by rapid thermal processing, or the deposition of a film by chemical vapor deposition.
- reaction chamber designed for no-flow processing is described.

- the amount of atoms diffused into a substrate may be made uniform in a low species utilization process by stopping the flow of gas into a reaction chamber during the low species utilization process. Stopping the flow of gas into a reaction chamber may entail closing the gate valve (the valve to the vacuum pump), stabilizing the pressure within the reaction chamber, and maintaining the stabilized pressure while stopping the gas flowing into the chamber. Likewise, the thickness of a thin film may be made uniform in a low species utilization processes by stopping the flow of gas into a reaction chamber during the low species utilization process.
- a low species utilization process is a process where a thin film or an implant or diffusion is performed by utilizing only a small portion of the reactants within a reaction chamber.
- a low species utilization process may be a process where a thin film is formed using only the reactants in the reaction chamber or a process where the amount of atoms diffused or implanted into a square centimeter of the surface of the substrate is in the approximate range of 1 x e 14 atoms/cm and 1 x e atoms/cm .
- the non-uniformity of the amount of atoms diffused into a substrate or the non-uniformity of the thickness of a thin film deposited onto a substrate may be minimized or eliminated.
- the non-uniformity is minimized or eliminated because there are no longer pressure or flow gradients within the chamber during processing.
- This "no-flow" method may be applied to decoupled plasma nitridation of a silicon dioxide gate dielectric or high dielectric constant (K) films, such as HaFx, and to forming thin films by rapid thermal processing, chemical vapor deposition, and atomic layer deposition.
- the DPN chamber 10 that is illustrated in Figure 2 may be designed differently for different diameter wafers or substrates, for example, 200 mm wafers or 300 mm wafers.
- the DPN chamber 10 is an example of a chamber used to process 200 mm wafers.
- the DPN chamber 10 includes a lower transfer chamber 26 and a transfer mechanism 28.
- An upper chamber 12 is positioned on top of the transfer chamber 26.
- An internal volume 30 of the transfer chamber 26 is placed in communication with the internal volume 24 of the upper chamber 12 through a circular opening 32 in a base of the chamber 12.
- the substrate holder 14 is secured on top of the transfer mechanism 28, and the transfer mechanism 28 can be used to elevate or lower the substrate holder 14.
- the DPN chamber may have modifications for a no-flow process. These modifications include the elimination of a vacuum pumping channel, such as 42.
- the purpose of a vacuum pumping channel is to modulate the flow of gas out of the chamber during processing to minimize flow and pressure gradients that cause non-uniformity in the diffusion of nitrogen into a substrate. Because gas is not being pumped out of the chamber during processing the vacuum pumping channel may no longer be necessary. Also, because no gas is pumped out of the chamber during processing, a turbo pump and the accompanying turbo stack may no longer be necessary. A pump having less pumping ability than a turbo pump may be used because large volumes are gas are not being pumped out of the chamber during processing.
- the amount of the inert gas, such as helium, neon, or argon, that is mixed with the nitrogen gas maybe up to approximately 95% of the gas mixture, and more particularly in the approximate range of 30% - 90% of the gas mixture.
- the flow rate of the nitrogen gas into the DPN chamber 10 before the gas flow is stopped may be in the approximate range of 10 sccm/second — 50 sccm/second.
- the amount of nitrogen gas flowed into the chamber may be enough to implant a 300 mm wafer substrate with approximately 1 x 10 14 atoms/cm 2 - 8 x 10 14 atoms/cm 2 .
- the total internal volume of the chamber, including the internal chamber 24 and the pumping channel 42, may have a volume of approximately 70 liters.
- the total internal volume of the chamber may be much less than 70 liters depending on whether a pumping channel 42 is present or not.
- the pumping channel 42 may take up approximately two thirds of the total internal volume.
- Stabilized pressure is when the pressure is within approximately 0.1 milHTorr of the pressure desired within the chamber for approximately 5 seconds.
- the pressure within the internal chamber 24 is stabilized by flowing gas at a slower and slower rate into the internal volume 24 until the pressure within the internal volume 24 is stabilized. Once the pressure is stabilized by reducing the flow rate, a pressure controller maintains the stable pressure during processing.
- software may be programmed to control all parameters of the pressure stabilization of the total interior volume of the DPN chamber 10.
- the gas flow rate is ramped down by a system controller to which a machine readable medium is coupled, the machine-readable medium having a memory that stores the set of instructions that controls the ramp-down of the gas flow rate.
- the gas flow rate is ramped down to where a predetermined pressure is achieved within the DPN chamber 10 and then a set of instructions stored in the memory of the machine- readable medium coupled to the system controller stabilizes the pressure within the DPN chamber 10 while the gas flow is stopped.
- the stabilized pressure within the internal volume 24 may be in the approximate range of 0.1 mTorr — 1000 mTorr, or more particularly within the approximate range of 5 mTorr and 95 mTorr, or even more particularly 30 mTorr.
- a plasma of nitrogen ions (N + ) 22 is struck within the internal volume 24 at block 105 above a silicon dioxide layer 58.
- the plasma of nitrogen ions (N + ) 22 formed above a silicon dioxide layer 58 that is formed over a silicon substrate is illustrated in Figure 3.
- the nitrogen plasma 22 is struck by the RF source 50 of Figure Ib.
- the RF source may create a frequency of approximately 13.56 MHz.
- the RF coil generates an RF field that is spread by the electrode plate 18 across the upper wall 38.
- the circular opening 44 permits the RF field to enter through the upper wall 38 into the internal volume 24.
- the RF may be pulsed at a frequency of 10 kHz.
- the diffusion occurs for a time sufficient to implant approximately 1 x 10 14 atoms/cm 2 - 8 x 10 14 atoms/cm 2 into the substrate to result in approximately 4% - 12%, and more particularly 7% - 8% nitrogen in the silicon dioxide layer 58.
- the nitrogen may diffuse throughout the silicon dioxide film because the thickness of the silicon dioxide film maybe in the approximate range of 6 A and 16 A.
- the plasma may be struck for a time within the approximate range of 2 seconds - 120 seconds, and more particularly in a range of 15 seconds - 45 seconds, and even more particularly for 30 seconds.
- the difference between the uniformity of the nitrogen atoms diffused into the silicon dioxide layer during a process where the gas is flowed during processing compared to a process where the flow is cut off during the processing maybe approximately 75%.
- the RF is turned off and a purge gas may be flowed through the interior volume 24 of the DPN chamber 20.
- the substrate may then be removed from the chamber and transferred to a rapid thermal processing chamber to be annealed to increase the nitrogen retention in the silicon dioxide layer 58.
- the substrate on which the silicon dioxide layer 58 with diffused nitrogen is formed may be annealed at a temperature in the approximate range of 700 0 C and 1200 0 C degrees C for approximately 5 seconds and 120 seconds.

- the reactant gases that may be used to form a silicon dioxide film on the silicon substrate may be a mixture of oxygen (O 2 ) and hydrogen (H 2 ) or only oxygen (O 2 ).
- the oxygen and hydrogen form water molecules.
- the amount of hydrogen (H 2 ) maybe approximately 1% - 33% hydrogen (H 2 ), and more particularly approximately 2% hydrogen (H 2 ), and the balance of the mixture is oxygen (O 2 ).
- the reactant gases are flowed into the RTP chamber 500 at room temperature until the pressure within the chamber is stabilized at block 402.
- the stabilized pressure may be in the range of 5 Torr and 15 Torr, and more particularly approximately 10 Torr.
- the pressure within the RTP chamber 500 is stabilized by flowing gas at a slower and slower rate out of the RTP chamber 500 at the exhaust 530 through a vacuum pump (not illustrated), by adjusting a pressure control valve at the exhaust 530, until the pressure within the RTP chamber 500 is stabilized.
- a pressure controller maintains the stable pressure during processing
- software may be programmed to control all parameters of the pressure stabilization of the interior volume of the RTP chamber 500.
- the gas flow rate is ramped down by a system controller to which a machine- readable medium is coupled, the machine-readable medium having a memory that stores the set of instructions that controls the ramp-down of the gas flow rate.
- the gas flow rate is ramped down to where a predetermined pressure is achieved within the RTP chamber 500 and then a set of instructions stored in the memory of the machine-readable medium coupled to the system controller stabilizes the pressure within the RTP chamber 500 while the gas flow is stopped.
- the temperature within the RTP chamber 500 prior to stopping the gas flow is not a temperature sufficient to cause a reaction of the reactant gas or gases.
- the temperature within the RTP chamber 500 prior to stopping the gas flow is a temperature that is not sufficient to form water from the reactants.
- the temperature sufficient to cause a reaction between H 2 and O 2 is approximately 600 0 C.
- the temperature within the RTP chamber 500 prior to stopping the gas flow may be approximately room temperature.
- the gas flow into the RTP chamber 500 is stopped.
- the substrate 506 is then ramped to a particular temperature to cause a reaction of the reactant gases.
- the substrate may be ramped to approximately 600 0 C.
- the substrate may be heated by a heating element 510 located directly above the substrate 506.
- the heating element 510 may be formed of heat lamps such as tungsten halogen lamps. Heat radiation 512 is created to heat the substrate 510.
- the substrate 506 may be heated by a susceptor containing resistive heating elements, or by both a radiative heating element such as 510 and a susceptor containing resistive heating elements.

- the temperature of the substrate 506 is measured by the temperature probes 526 and by the pyrometers 528.
- the temperature is held constant for a time sufficient to form a silicon dioxide film 620 with the targeted thickness at block 405.
- the targeted thickness may be achieved by reducing the temperature to stop the reaction or by using up the reactants within the chamber.
- Figure 6 illustrates a silicon dioxide film 620 formed on the silicon substrate 506 by the hydrogen (H 2 ) and oxygen (O 2 ) reactant gases 610.

- a silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ) film may be formed on a silicon wafer by this process.
- the silicon nitride film may be used to form thin film capacitors and may have a thickness of less than approximately 30 angstroms.

- the transfer blade 841 positions the substrate 810 onto the lift pins 895 of the lifter assembly 865.
- the transfer blade 841 is then removed from the chamber 800 and the lifter assembly moves upwards to bring the susceptor 805 into contact with the substrate 810.
- the susceptor 805 contains resistive heating elements 880 as illustrated in the cross-sectional portion of the susceptor 805.
- the heating elements 880 will heat up the susceptor 805 and the substrate 810 during processing.
- the susceptor 805 may not contain the resistive heating elements 880, and the wafer 810 and susceptor 805 may be heated by heat lamps positioned both above and below the susceptor 805 within the chamber 800.
- a reactant gas is flowed into the interior 890 of the CVD chamber 800 containing the substrate 810.
- the reactant gas is flowed into the interior 890 through a manifold (not shown), a distribution port 820, a blocker plate 824, and a showerhead 825.
- the manifold and showerhead 825 are not present and only a simple distribution port 820 is used to flow the reactant gases into the interior 890.
- a manifold and a showerhead are typically used to evenly distribute a specific amount of reactant gases into the interior 890 during processing while maintaining flow of the gases into the interior 890. Because no reactant gases are flowed into the interior 890 during processing, the manifold and showerhead are not necessary.
- the reactant gas is flowed into the interior 890 of the CVD chamber 800 until a sufficient amount of reactant gas is present in the chamber for a low species utilization process.
- the low species utilization process is a thin film formed by CVD.
- the thin film may be a silicon film such as a single crystal epitaxial layer, a polysilicon layer, or an amorphous silicon layer formed on a silicon substrate.
- Figure 9 illustrates an embodiment where a silicon epitaxial layer 910 is formed over a silicon substrate 810.
- the reactant gas may be a silicon containing gas such as silane (SiH 4 ) or dichlorosilane (SiH 2 Cl 2 ) in combination with a carrier gas such as hydrogen (H 2 ).
- the amount of hydrogen in the mixture with the silicon containing gas may be in the approximate range of 90% and 98%.
- the reactant gas is flowed into the CVD chamber 800 until there is an amount of the reactant gas sufficient to form an epitaxial silicon film 910 to a particular thickness.
- the thickness of a single crystal epitaxial film 910 may be in the approximate range of 20 angstroms and 500 angstroms, and more particularly approximately 100 angstroms.
- the flow of the reactant gas into the interior 890 is not stopped until the pressure within the CVD chamber 800 is stabilized at block 702.
- the stabilized pressure within the CVD chamber 800 may be in the approximate range of 10 Torr - 700 Torr, and more particularly approximately 100 Torr.
- the pressure within the CVD chamber 800 is stabilized by flowing gas at an increasingly slower rate out of the CVD chamber 800 through the vacuum pump, by adjusting a pressure control valve, until the pressure within the interior 890 of the CVD chamber 800 is stabilized.
- the pressure controller maintains the stable pressure during processing, hi an alternate embodiment, software maybe programmed to control all parameters of the pressure stabilization of the interior volume of the CVD chamber 800.
- the gas flow rate is ramped down by a system controller to which a machine readable medium is coupled, the machine-readable medium having a memory that stores the set of instructions that controls the ramp-down of the gas flow rate.
- the gas flow rate is ramped down to where a predetermined pressure is achieved within the CVD chamber 800 and then a set of instructions stored in the memory of the machine-readable medium coupled to the system controller stabilizes the pressure within the CVD chamber 800 while the gas flow is stopped.
- the temperature within the CVD chamber 800 prior to stopping the gas flow is not a temperature sufficient to cause a reaction of the reactant gas or gases. In an embodiment, the temperature within the interior 890 of the CVD chamber 800 prior to stopping the gas flow may be approximately room temperature.
- the type of silicon layer formed may be controlled by the stabilization temperature at which the silicon layer is grown. In general, at lower temperatures amorphous silicon may formed, then as the temperature is increased the type of silicon formed will proceed from amorphous to polysilicon, to monocrystalline. Once the temperature of the substrate 810 is ramped up to the reaction temperature, the temperature of the substrate 810 is stabilized for a time sufficient to grow the epitaxial silicon film 910 to the desired thickness. At the reaction temperature the reactant gas decomposes on the surface of the hot substrate and the decomposed reactants then grow the epitaxial silicon film 910 on the substrate.
- the thickness of a single crystal epitaxial film 910 maybe in the approximate range of 20 angstroms and 500 angstroms, and more particularly approximately 100 angstroms.
- the substrate maybe spun horizontally around the central axis of the substrate at a spin rate in the approximate range of 20 rpm and 50 rpm while growing the expitaxial silicon film 910 on the substrate.
- the uniformity of the thickness of the single crystal epitaxial film 910 may be improved by using the "no-flow" process described herein.
- the uniformity of the thickness of the film 910 is improved because the reactant gases are not flowed into and out of the CVD chamber 800 during the growth of the single crystal epitaxial film 910 to cause flow and pressure gradients.
- the temperature of the susceptor 805 and within the CVD chamber 800 is then cooled down to approximately room temperature in order to cool down the substrate 810.
- the CVD chamber 800 may then be evacuated of the reactant gases once cooled down by opening up a pressure control valve (not illustrated) positioned gas output 830.
- a purge gas such as hydrogen (H 2 ) or nitrogen (N 2 ) may then be flowed into the interior 890 of the CVD chamber 800.
- the CVD chamber 800 may now be brought to a transfer pressure at which the substrate 810 may be transferred to a transfer chamber in a cluster tool and placed within another chamber for further processing.
- the film formed in a "no-flow" low species utilization process by CVD may be silicon dioxide, or silicon nitride.
- the parameters for growing other amorphous films such as silicon dioxide and silicon nitride would be similar to that of forming epitaxial silicon films.
- the main difference is that other gases such as oxygen or ammonia would be introduced in addition to the main silicon precursor such as SiH 4 , Si 2 H 6 , or Si 2 H 2 Cl 2 .
- the temperatures and pressures may be slightly different than those used to grow epitaxial silicon.
- the "no-flow" low species utilization embodiments described herein are examples of some of the applications of this invention. Stopping the flow of gases into a reaction chamber during processing is a concept that may be extended to other low species utilization processes such as atomic layer deposition or dopant implants. It is to be appreciated that the disclosed specific embodiments are only meant to be illustrative of the present invention and one of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate the ability to substitute features or to eliminate disclosed features. As such, the scope of the Applicant's invention is to be measured by the appended claims that follow.
