    • A layer of diffusion barrier or seed material is deposited on a semiconductor substrate having a recessed feature. The method may include a series of new deposition cycles, for example, a first net deposition cycle and a second net deposition cycle. The first net deposition cycle includes depositing a first deposited amount of the diffusion barrier or seed material and etching a first etched amount of the diffusion barrier or seed material. The second net deposition cycle including depositing a second deposited amount of the diffusion barrier or seed material and etching a second etched amount of the diffusion barrier or seed material. At least one of the process parameters of the first cycle differs from that of the second allows providing a graded deposition effects to reduce a risk of damaging any under layers and dielectric. A deposited layer of diffusion barrier or seed material is generally more conformal.
    • 扩散阻挡层或种子材料层沉积在具有凹陷特征的半导体衬底上。 该方法可以包括一系列新的沉积循环,例如第一净沉积循环和第二净沉积循环。 第一净沉积循环包括沉积第一沉积量的扩散阻挡物或种子材料并蚀刻第一蚀刻量的扩散阻挡层或种子材料。 第二净沉积循环包括沉积第二沉积量的扩散阻挡层或种子材料并蚀刻第二蚀刻量的扩散阻挡层或种子材料。 第一循环的工艺参数中的至少一个不同于第二循环的工艺参数允许提供分级沉积效应以降低损坏任何下层和电介质的风险。 扩散阻挡层或种子材料的沉积层通常更为共形。

    • Local plasma density, e.g., the plasma density in the vicinity of the substrate, is increased by providing an ion extractor configured to transfer ions and electrons from a first region of magnetically confined plasma (typically a region of higher density plasma) to a second region of plasma (typically a region of lower density plasma). The second region of plasma is preferably also magnetically shaped or confined and resides between the first region of plasma and the substrate. A positively biased conductive member positioned proximate the second region of plasma serves as an ion extractor. A positive bias of about 50-300 V is applied to the ion extractor causing electrons and subsequently ions to be transferred from the first region of plasma to the vicinity of the substrate, thereby forming higher density plasma. Provided methods and apparatus are used for deposition and resputtering.

    • Methods for resputtering and plasma etching include an operation of generating an ultra-high density plasma using an ultra-high magnetic field. For example, a plasma density of at least about 1013 electrons/cm3 is achieved by confining a plasma using a magnetic field of at least about 1 Tesla. The ultra-high density plasma is used to create a high flux of low energy ions at the wafer surface. The formed high density low energy plasma can be used to sputter etch a diffusion barrier or a seed layer material in the presence of an exposed low-k dielectric layer. For example, a diffusion barrier material can be etched with a high etch rate to deposition rate (E/D) ratio (e.g., with E/D>2) without substantially damaging an exposed dielectric layer. Resputtering and plasma etching can be performed, for example, in iPVD and in plasma pre-clean tools, equipped with magnets configured for confining a plasma.
    • 用于再溅射和等离子体蚀刻的方法包括使用超高磁场产生超高密度等离子体的操作。 例如,通过使用至少约1特斯拉的磁场约束等离子体来实现至少约1013电子/ cm 3的等离子体密度。 超高密度等离子体用于在晶片表面产生高能量的低能量离子。 形成的高密度低能量等离子体可用于在暴露的低k电介质层的存在下溅射蚀刻扩散阻挡层或种子层材料。 例如,扩散阻挡材料可以以高的蚀刻速率对沉积速率(E / D)比(例如,E / D> 2)进行蚀刻,而不会显着损坏暴露的介电层。 溅射和等离子体蚀刻可以例如在iPVD和等离子体预清洁工具中进行,其中配备有用于限制等离子体的磁体。
