Abstract: In some embodiments, a reactive curing process may be performed by exposing a semiconductor substrate in a process chamber to an ambient containing hydrogen peroxide, with the pressure in the process chamber at about 300 Torr or less. In some embodiments, the residence time of hydrogen peroxide molecules in the process chamber is about five minutes or less. The curing process temperature may be set at about 500° C. or less. The curing process may be applied to cure flowable dielectric materials and may provide highly uniform curing results, such as across a batch of semiconductor substrates cured in a batch process chamber.
Abstract translation: 在一些实施方案中,反应性固化方法可以通过将处理室中的半导体衬底暴露于含有过氧化氢的环境中,其中处理室中的压力为约300托或更小。 在一些实施方案中,过氧化氢分子在处理室中的停留时间为约5分钟或更短。 固化过程温度可以设定在约500℃或更低。 固化过程可用于固化可流动介电材料,并且可以提供高度均匀的固化结果,例如在批处理室中固化的一批半导体衬底。

Abstract: A chemical vapor deposition furnace for depositing silicon nitride films is disclosed. The furnace includes a process chamber elongated in a substantially vertical direction and a wafer boat for supporting a plurality of wafers in the process chamber. A process gas injector inside the process chamber is provided with vertically spaced gas injection holes to provide gas introduced at a feed end in an interior of the process gas injector to the process chamber. A valve system connected to the feed end of the process gas injector is being constructed and arranged to connect a source of a silicon precursor and a nitrogen precursor to the feed end for depositing silicon nitride layers. The valve system may connect the feed end of the process gas injector to a cleaning gas system to provide a cleaning gas to remove silicon nitride from the process gas injector and/or the process chamber.

Abstract: A workpiece susceptor body can include a front face configured to support a workpiece, a back face opposite the front face, a workpiece contact zone at least partially forming a support boundary on an inner portion of the front face, and a plurality of axial channels disposed within the susceptor body. The workpiece contact zone can be disposed radially inward of an outer edge of a workpiece positioned on the front face in a processing configuration. Each of the plurality of axial channels may connect to corresponding openings extending into an outer portion of the front face. Each of the openings may be disposed radially outward of the workpiece contact zone of the susceptor body.

Abstract: A reactor having a housing that encloses a gas delivery system operatively connected to a reaction chamber and an exhaust assembly. The gas delivery system includes a plurality of gas lines for providing at least one process gas to the reaction chamber. The gas delivery system further includes a mixer for receiving the at least one process gas. The mixer is operatively connected to a diffuser that is configured to diffuse process gases. The diffuser is attached directly to an upper surface of the reaction chamber, thereby forming a diffuser volume therebetween. The diffuser includes at least one distribution surface that is configured to provide a flow restriction to the process gases as they pass through the diffuser volume before being introduced into the reaction chamber.

Abstract: Methods and systems for growing silicon carbide epitaxial layers are described. In one example, a reactor system with multiple reactor modules may include a heating load/lock chamber and a cooling load/lock chamber. In another example, a reactor may be heated by separate sets of coils inductively heating a susceptor, which heats graphite near one or more wafers. Multiple pyrometers may measure the temperature of the graphite walls at different locations. Based on temperature differences and/or temperature gradients, a temperature controller may adjust power provided to one or more sets of coils. In yet another example, separations between a wafer carrier and a wafer may be adjusted.
