Abstract: A lift pin arrangement for use in semiconductor processing apparatus wherein the lift pins are of a shape memory alloy. The lift pins exhibit superelasticity and/or shape memory effects which allows the lift pins to withstand substantial bending forces without permanent deformation thereof, and in the case where the lift pins become deformed it is possible to restraighten the lift pins simply by heating the lift pins to an appropriate temperature.

Abstract: A method of depositing a dielectric film on a substrate in a process chamber of an inductively coupled plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition reactor. Gap filling between electrically conductive lines on a semiconductor substrate and depositing a cap layer are achieved. Films having significantly improved physical characteristics including reduced film stress are produced by heating the substrate holder on which the substrate is positioned in the process chamber.
