titleOfInvention | Plasma treatment to fill contacts elsewhere |
abstract | SUMMARY The present invention provides a method and apparatus for filling contacts, vias, trenches, and other patterns on a substrate surface, particularly those having a high aspect ratio. In general, the present invention provides a method for removing oxygen from the surface of an oxidized metal layer prior to subsequent metal deposition. The oxidized metal is treated with a plasma comprising nitrogen, hydrogen, or a mixture thereof. In one aspect of the invention, the metal layer (22) is Ti, TiN, Ta, TaN, Ni, NiV, or V, followed by a wetting layer (28) of CVD aluminum (Al) or copper (Cu). It is deposited using either a CVD technique or electroplating, such as electroplating. The metal layer (22) can be exposed to oxygen or air and then treated with two or more cycles of a nitrogen and / or hydrogen plasma to remove oxidation of the surface of the metal layer (22) or And nucleates subsequent growth of the metal layer (28, 30). |
