Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of forming silicon nitride thin films on a substrate in a reaction chamber by plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD). Exemplary methods include the steps of (i) introducing an octahalotrisilane Si3X8 silicon precursor, such as octachlorotrisilane (OCTS) Si3Cl8, into a reaction space containing a substrate, (ii) introducing a nitrogen containing plasma into the reaction space, and wherein steps (i), (ii) and any steps in between constitute one cycle, and repeating said cycles a plurality of times until an atomic layer nitride film having a desired thickness is obtained.

Abstract: A system and method for treating a deposition reactor are disclosed. The system and method remove or mitigate formation of residue in a gas-phase reactor used to deposit doped metal films, such as aluminum-doped titanium carbide films or aluminum-doped tantalum carbide films. The method includes a step of exposing a reaction chamber to a treatment reactant that mitigates formation of species that lead to residue formation.

Abstract: In some embodiments, methods are provided for simultaneously and selectively depositing a first material on a first surface of a substrate and a second, different material on a second, different surface of the same substrate using the same reaction chemistries. For example, a first material may be selectively deposited on a metal surface while a second material is simultaneously and selectively deposited on an adjacent dielectric surface. The first material and the second material have different material properties, such as different etch rates.

Abstract: Methods for depositing oxide thin films, such as metal oxide, metal silicates, silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) and silicon oxycarbonitride (SiOCN) thin films, on a substrate in a reaction space are provided. The methods can include at least one plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) cycle including alternately and sequentially contacting the substrate with a first reactant that comprises oxygen and a component of the oxide, and a second reactant comprising reactive species that does not include oxygen species. In some embodiments the plasma power used to generate the reactive species can be selected from a range to achieve a desired step coverage or wet etch rate ratio (WERR) for films deposited on three dimensional features. In some embodiments oxide thin films are selectively deposited on a first surface of a substrate relative to a second surface, such as on a dielectric surface relative to a metal or metallic surface.
