Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to methods for forming silicon based gapfill within substrate features. A flowable silicon film is formed within the feature with a greater thickness on the bottom and top surfaces than the sidewall surface. An etch plasma removes the silicon film from the sidewall surface. A conversion plasma is used to convert the silicon film to a silicon based gapfill (e.g., silicon oxide). In some embodiments, the silicon film is preferentially converted on the top and bottom surface before being etched from the sidewall surface.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a composite fabric includes the steps of feeding, mixing and stirring, first drying, hot melt extrusion, first cooling, stretch extension, second cooling, winding-strands-into-roll, second drying, and weaving. The composite fabric is composed of multiple first threads and multiple second threads which are woven to the first threads. The first threads and the second threads are respectively reflective threads and glowing threads so that the composite fabric includes both features of light reflection and glowing in dark.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide an improved process for depositing tungsten-containing materials. In one embodiment, the method for forming a tungsten-containing material on a substrate includes forming an adhesion layer containing titanium nitride on a dielectric layer disposed on a substrate, forming a tungsten nitride intermediate layer on the adhesion layer, wherein the tungsten nitride intermediate layer contains tungsten nitride and carbon. The method further includes forming a tungsten barrier layer (e.g., tungsten or tungsten-carbon material) from the tungsten nitride intermediate layer by thermal decomposition during a thermal annealing process (e.g., temperature from about 700° C. to less than 1,000° C.). Subsequently, the method includes optionally forming a nucleation layer on the tungsten barrier layer, optionally exposing the tungsten barrier layer and/or the nucleation layer to a reducing agent during soak processes, and forming a tungsten bulk layer on or over the tungsten barrier layer and/or the nucleation layer.

Abstract: The present invention provides a load lock having a vertically movable lid, an internal robot, and a wafer lifting mechanism and further provides a method of transferring wafers through a load lock directly to a process chamber. An atmospheric transfer robot shuttles wafers to and from the lifting mechanism while the lid is raised and the lifting mechanism then transfers wafers to and from the internal robot. The load lock is directly attached to a process chamber and communicates therewith via a slit valve which is selectively opened and closed. The internal robot is extended and retracted through the slit valve aperture in order to transfer a wafer to and from the process chamber. In one embodiment the lifting mechanism is comprised of vertically movable lift pins disposed through the bottom of the load lock. In another embodiment the lifting mechanism includes two pairs of lift forks disposed through the cover of the load lock. Each pair of forks is capable of independent rotational and vertical movement and each pair is adapted to handle a single wafer.

Abstract: Methods of forming transistors, e.g., FinFETs, are described. A conformal liner layer is formed in a trench. A metal nitride material is introduced in regular or semi-regular intervals during a metal gap fill of a trench structure to prevent the formation of voids (air gaps) within the structure. The metal nitride material and the metal gap fill material may be deposited by atomic layer deposition methods.
