    • A method for depositing an aluminum film limits the growth of voids and notches in the aluminum film and forms and aluminum film with a reduced amount of voids and notches. The first step of the method is to form an underlying layer upon which is deposited an aluminum film having a first thickness. The surface of the aluminum film is then exposed to a passivation species which coats the aluminum grains and precipitates at the grain boundaries so as to prevent grain movement. The exposure of the aluminum film to the passivation species reduces void formation and coalescence of the voids. An aluminum layer having a second thickness is then deposited over the initially deposited aluminum layer. In a second embodiment of the invention, the passivation species is deposited with MOCVD and to form an electromigration-resistant alloy. A third embodiment involves multiple depositions of aluminum, with exposure to a passivation species conducted after each deposition. Each deposition is also conducted at a successively lower temperature than the prior deposition.
    • 铝膜的沉积方法限制了铝膜中的空隙和凹口的生长,并形成了具有减少量的空隙和凹口的铝膜。 该方法的第一步是形成下层,沉积具有第一厚度的铝膜。 然后将铝膜的表面暴露于钝化物质,其涂覆铝颗粒并在晶界处沉淀,以防止颗粒移动。 铝膜暴露于钝化物质可以减少空隙的形成和孔隙的聚结。 然后在初始沉积的铝层上沉积具有第二厚度的铝层。 在本发明的第二个实施方案中,钝化物质用MOCVD沉积并形成耐电迁移合金。 第三个实施例涉及铝的多次沉积,暴露于在每次沉积之后进行的钝化物质。 每次沉积也在比先前的沉积相继低的温度下进行。

    • An apparatus is provided for controlling the flow of gaseous reactants in a CVD reactor through the use of a body having interior and exterior regions, in which the body defines at least one flow path between the interior and exterior regions so as to create a pressure drop from the interior to the exterior of the body within the chamber. The body is disposed in a reaction chamber with a first area proximate a gaseous reactant inlet and a second area proximate a substrate support such that the substrate is positioned in proximity to the interior of the body. As such, gaseous reactants introduced into the interior of said chamber through the inlet create a pressure drop between the interior and the exterior of the body. In a preferred embodiment, the body is cylindrically shaped and contains perforations providing the flow paths. Preferably, the perforations are either more numerous or larger in the second area than the first area to create a pressure gradient in the interior of the body. Alternatively, the perforations may be uniform in size and uniformly distributed over the body or the perforations can be configured to create a desired pressure differential in the body to support a plasma created in the body and control its location.
