Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the manufacture of integrated circuits, and more particularly to a process for depositing a dielectric layer on a substrate. [Prior Art] Since the introduction of the integrated circuit for the first time decades ago, the size of the integrated circuit has been greatly reduced. Since then, the size of the integrated circuit has basically followed the principle of reducing the size by half every two years (generally called "Moore's Law"). In this case, it also represents the number of components on a wafer every two years. Will double. Today's wafer fabs are routinely capable of producing 〇13 microns, or even ι·ιm. Future wafer fabrication facilities will be able to produce smaller dimensions. As component sizes continue to shrink, the need for low-k films is increasing in the market as the need to further reduce capacitive coupling between adjacent metal lines to reduce component size on integrated circuits. In particular, the k value is below 4.0 < Low-k insulating layer The insulating layer of the low-k value insulating layer includes spin-coating, earth-doped bismuth glass (USG), fluorine-doped bismuth glass (FSG) ), and the collection of four gas, are generally available on the market. One way to effectively reduce the value of k is to introduce holes into the film. As a result, the mechanical strength (i.e., hardness) of the low-k film is made low, which in turn makes it difficult to integrate the film into the component manufacturing process. At present, plasma post-treatment is used to improve the mechanical strength of the low-k film, but the plasma treatment will cause an increase in the k value. Therefore, there is a need for a method for improving the mechanical strength of a low-k thin 1282125 film without increasing the value of k. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is generally directed to a method of depositing a low force > Φ deposition constant film on a substrate. The method includes depositing a low dielectric constant film comprising germanium, carbon, oxygen and hydrogen in a chemical vapor deposition process. The inventors of the present invention comprise exposing the low dielectric constant film to an electron beam sufficient to increase the hardness of the low dielectric film.

As for the nouns used in the scope of application for patents, Sun Hanzhi knows the technical staff of the present invention to provide a maximum hardness, splitting threshold and power in an ultra-low dielectric constant film according to the broadest scope of the invention. Significant and unexpected improvements. In one embodiment, a film comprising ruthenium, carbon, oxygen and hydrogen is deposited on a substrate surface under conditions sufficient to form an ultra-low dielectric constant (k value #2.5) film. Thereafter, the ultra low force constant film is further post-treated with an electron beam. In accordance with one or more embodiments of the present invention, electron beam ("e-beam") processing can be utilized to improve properties such as mechanical properties, thermal stability, dielectric constant, etch selectivity, and resistance to isotropic stripping (eg, Membrane properties such as a non-crosslinked polymer that can be easily etched by a downstream plasma stripping process, and copper diffusion barrier properties. It is generally believed that at least one aspect, "e-beam The treatment system, 'two' by the negative decrosslinking of the film to provide such improvement (that is, the general phase of 1282125 to crosslink the carbon bonds), by the Young's coefficient (Y〇ung, s letter "e- The beam treatment is preferably carried out by removing hydrogen bonds to enhance and increase the surface hardness and moduius on the film. It is generally believed that, at least in most cases, this objective can be achieved with little change in the overall composition of the film. One or more embodiments of the present invention - the first step of fabricating a low dielectric layer is deposited by a CVD deposition process (described in detail below) whose low-k dielectric layer can comprise a predetermined porosity. Under normal circumstances, such deposits will be very soft and contain sub- MetastaMe specie. When such CVD deposits are thermally hardened, the metastable species will be driven away, and the layer will shrink - such a layer U is about 2.6. By exposing the film to _ The plasma hardening process in the electric environment reduces the time required to spend on the thermosetting process. However, since the effect of the plasma hardening process is limited to the surface of the film, the effect of this process is limited. According to a second embodiment of the present invention, the second step of fabricating the low-k dielectric layer is to perform an "e-beam" process on the CVD deposited layer (including simultaneously heating the film layer), thereby converting the film layer into one: And a highly crosslinked film layer. Finally, in accordance with this embodiment of the invention, in the third step of selectively performing the fabrication of the low-k dielectric layer, the filament over-treated film layer is heat-hardened. "6_beam" treatment of the (10) deposit layer can strengthen the film structure, (4) and can drive away the metastable species to avoid shrinkage of the film. Manufacturing a low-k + electric layer method containing Jane, ft, and carbon The example uses a <a ring compound containing more than 4 kinds of organic bases as its = drive. Examples also include mixed use - or a variety of organic bottomed cyclic compounds and / or a variety of organic ruthenium-based acyclic compounds. In a 5 1282125 aspect, an organic - ruthenium-based cyclic compound. The oral substance, an organic 矽-based non-reading compound, and the -hydrocarbon system and the oxidizing gas are reacted under conditions to form a low dielectric constant film layer having a k value of less than 2.5 t. The hard-bottomed acyclic compound includes at least a 1-carbon bond. The organic-exclusive acyclic compound includes, for example, but not limited to, a hard-nitrogen bond or a-fragment-oxygen bond. The hydrocarbon may be linear or cyclic, and may include a carbon-carbon double bond or a carbon-carbon triple bond. According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, if at least the organic germanium gas contains oxygen, then An oxidizing gas may not be needed. The CVD film layer contains a network of oxime-oxo-oxime rings which are crosslinked with one or more linear organic compounds. Because of this cross-linking structure, @ can produce a reactive stable network with a large gap between the ring structures, so the deposited film layer has a high porosity. The ultra-low dielectric constant film layer is generally produced by mixing one or more precursor gases, including an organic ruthenium ring compound, a fatty compound, a hydrocarbon, and an oxidizing compound. The organofluorene ring compound may include a cyclic structure having one or more deuterium atoms, and the cyclic structure may further contain one or more oxygen atoms. Commercially available organofluorene cyclic compounds include a ring having a phase spacing < oxime, an oxygen atom and one or two alkyl rings bonded to the ruthenium atoms. For example, the organofluorene ring compound may include one or more of the following compounds: (-SiH2CH2-)3-(cyclic) (-SiH(CH3)-0-)4-(cyclic) (-SiH(CH3)2 -0-) 4-(cyclic) 1,3,5-trimethylcyclohexane 1,3,5,7-tetramethyltetradecaneoctane (TMCTS) octamethyltetradecaneoctane (OMCTS) (-SiH(CH3)-0-)5-(cyclic) (-SiH2-CH2-SiH2-0)2-(cyclic) (-Si(CH3)2-0-)3-(cyclic) 1282125 1,3 ,5,7,9-pentamethylpentacyclononane ring-1,3,5,7-tetrahydro-2,6-dioxo-4,8-octane 1,3,5-triazine- The 2,4,6-trioxane fatty compound includes a linear or branched (ie, acyclic) organic hydrazine compound having one or more deuterium atoms, one or an atom; a chain or a branched The organic cerium compound has at least one unsaturated carbon bond and may further comprise oxygen.

碳-碳鍵結碳氫組成的有機矽化物或是所所述之脂肪性碳氫 化物。一般相信在膜層中形成孔隙可降低膜層的介電常數 值。較佳是,該膜層並非在高於15〇t的溫度下沉積,因為 一般相信高溫將使膜層無法納入足夠量之可揮發的有機基 團。 例示性e-束室的細節及製程詳述如下。以真空煞車或 疋在真空環境下(即,沒有真空煞車的情況下)來轉移基材。 第2圖顯示依據本發明實施例之一 束室2〇〇。該卜束室2〇〇 包括一真空室220、一大表面積陰極222、一位於場-自由區 238之標的板230、及一位於標的板230及該大表面積陰極 222間的柵極226。該e-束室200更包括一高電位絕緣體 224、其係可將柵極226與大表面積陰極222、一位於真空 至220以外可覆蓋絕緣體228的陰極、一可控制真空室220 内壓力的可調式滲漏閥232、一連接至大表面積陰極222的 可调式高電位電源229、及一連接至柵極226之可調式低電 位電源23 1加以隔絕。 製程室也可含一可照射及加熱基材的燈(未示出),藉以 17 1282125 2製程室的溫度。該燈可位於標的& 23〇之下。由於其 材係位於真办援产τ V, ^ 、土 加熱“ 隔絕,因此該基材可被輻射 射昭射:部。h果燈熄、滅了’基材將以遠離熱源的方式輻 .、、、射八遇遭環境表面而逐漸降溫。在整個製程期間,該 二材可同時以燈加熱並以電子束輻射照射。舉例來說,依 本發明-實施例,紅外線石英燈係打開的直到基材溫度 到製程操作溫度為止。之後’纟不同操作循環中把燈關 或打開,藉以控制晶圓溫度。以電子連續照射基材,直 到累積了足夠劑量且基材已被處理好為止。以此技術可 於10分鐘内硬化基材上的厚層。 依據本發明另一實施例,其並不使用紅外線燈來硬化 基材。本發明這類實施例,係以電子束來照射並加熱基材。 在此情況下,電流產物及電流電位(能量=電流*電位)係遠大 於基材所輻射出來的能量,因此基材係以電子束進行加熱。 依據本發明更進一步的實施例,基材係以一冷卻板冷卻。 此將可保持基材溫度接近預定溫度。 操作時’欲暴露於電子束下的基材係安置於標的板230 上。將真空室220自接近大氣壓的壓力下開始抽真空,直 到壓力介於1亳托耳至約200毫托耳間。以可調整速度的 滲漏閥232來精確控制真空室220的壓力,其可控制壓力 至約〇· 1亳托耳。電子束係以足夠高的電位產生,其係以高 電位電源229將電位施加至該大表面積陰極222上來產生 的。電位可介於-500伏特至約30,000伏特或更高。高電位 電源2 2 9可以是紐约Bertan of Hickville所製造的b e r t a η 18 1282125 型 #1 05-30R ’ 或是 Spellman High Voltage Electronics Corp. 所製造的Spellman型#SL30N-1200X258。該可調式的低電 位電源2 3 1可供應一電位至栅極2 2 6,相對於該大表面積陰 極222而言,該栅極226上的電位係為正的。該電位是用 來控制自大表面積陰極222上發射電子。該可調式的低電 位電源231可以是賓州Acopian of Easton所製造的Acopian 型#150PT21電源。 為啟動電子束的發射,介於柵極226及標的板23〇間 之%自由區2 3 8中的氣體必須被游離,其可能肇因於天然 的γ射線。亦可以高電位火花間隙在真空室中人為啟動電 子束發射。一旦被初始游離,正離子342(如第3圖所示)會 被稍微負的電位(即,施加於柵極226之介於〇至_2〇〇伏特 的電位)吸引至栅極226。這些正離子通過加速場區域236(位 於大表面積陰極222及柵極226間),被加速朝向大表面積 陰極222(因施加於大表面積陰極222上的高電位之故)。一 旦撞擊到大表面積陰極222後,這些高能離子會產生電子 344 ,這些電子則會被加速朝向另一方向的柵極226。這類 電子中的一部分係以垂直陰極表面的方向飛行並撞擊栅極 226 ,但大多數的電子344都會通過栅極226並飛行至標的 板230。柵極226較佳係設置於由大表面積陰極222所發射 出之電子的平均自由路徑更短的距離處。亦即,柵極226 較佳係位於自大表面積陰極222起算4毫米以内距離處。 由於柵極2 2 6與大表面積陰極2 2 2間的距離很短,因此幾 乎沒有或很少有電子在位於栅極226與大表面積陰極222 19 1282125 間的加速場區2 3 6中被游離出來。 在傳統氣體放電装置中,電子會在加速場區中創造出 更多正離子’該等正離子會被吸引至大表面積陰極222上, 造成更多電子被發射出來。該放電現象很容易就變成一無 法控制的不穩定的高電位放電。但是,依據本發明一實施 例,在栅極226外所生成的電子342可藉由加在柵極226 上的電位來加以控制(排斥或吸引)。換言之,可藉由改變栅 極226上的電位來連續性地控制電子發射現象。或者,藉 由可調式滲漏閥232來控制電子發射,該可調式滲漏閥232 係被設置成可增加或降低位於標的板23〇與大表面積陰極 222間游離區之分子數目。在栅極226上施加一正電位(亦 即’當柵極電位超過位於標的板230與大表面積陰極222 間之空間任一正離子物種能量時)即可完全中斷電子發射。 第4圖顯示一具有回饋控制電路400的e-束室2〇〇。在 某些應用中,係提供具不同電子束能量的一恆定電子電流。 例如,可將基材上該沉積膜層的上層(而非底層)暴露或硬 化。此可藉降低電子束能量來達成,致使大部分的電子係 被吸附於膜層的上層。在頂層被硬化後,可能還可將膜層 全部都硬化。此可藉由提高電子束的加速電位使電子完全 穿透膜層來達成。該回饋控制電路400係被設置成可維持 一恆定電子電流,其與加速電位的變化無關。該回饋控制 電路400包括一整流器466。電流係以一感應電阻490來取 樣,該感應電阻490係設置於標的板230與整流器466間。 該電流亦可以在柵極226處作取樣,因為部份電流係在此 20 1282125 處被攔截。兩單位的增加電 电饥迫蹤器492可緩衝獲自 電阻490的訊號,並以 冑獲目α應 電阻494將其回饋至一放大 器496。此放大器的輸出 人 、 』徑制柵極220的電位,致使增加 的電流可導致栅極226上的偽厭恭 的偏壓電位下降及來自大表面積 陰極222的電流下降。 了 ^電阻494來調整放大器496

and one or more oxidizing gases The reaction is carried to the surface of the substrate under conditions sufficient to form a low dielectric constant deposited layer on the surface of the substrate. In another embodiment, one or more organic tellurides and one or more fatty hydrocarbon systems are reacted with one or more oxidizing gases and are conditions sufficient to form a low dielectric constant deposited layer on the surface of the substrate. The lower is transferred to the surface of the substrate. The fatty hydrocarbon may comprise from 1 to 20 adjacent carbon atoms. The carbon atoms of the carbon nanotubes may be bonded to each other by a combination of a single bond, a double bond, and a triple bond of any of the three bonds. Preferably, the fatty hydrocarbon comprises at least one unsaturated carbon-carbon bond. For example, the fatty hydrocarbon may include cigarettes, cigarettes, and diene having a carbon number of 2 to 20, such as acetamidine, propylene, isobutyl, acetylene, propyne, ethyl. Acetylene, i, 3-butane, isoprene, 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene and pentane. In another embodiment, the invention includes a significant but unexpected low dielectric constant film layer comprising ruthenium, oxygen and carbon by one or more compounds having at least one cyclic group and Or a plurality of organic tellurides and a selectively added oxidizing gas are mixed under conditions sufficient to form a network of pretreated layers. In one aspect of the invention, one or more compounds having at least one cyclic group and one or more organic telluride systems are reacted with a sufficient amount of oxidizing gas to form a low dielectric constant film layer on the semiconductor substrate. . The film is deposited by plasma in a process chamber capable of performing chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The plasma can be generated by RF, high frequency RF, dual frequency, two phase RF, or any conventional or undiscovered plasma generation technique. After depositing the film layer, the film layer is hardened by an electron beam to remove the hanging organic groups, such as the ring-shaped base ring of the organic compound incorporated into the film layer during deposition. The hardening step is capable of supplying energy to the network of layers to volatilize and remove at least a portion of the cyclic groups in the network of the layer. In most cases, the hardness of the hardened film is at least doubled, even up to 6 times, far better than the hardness of the film that has not been hardened. The dielectric constant (k) of the electron beam-hardened film layer is unexpectedly greatly reduced, and the hardness is increased, which is an effect that cannot be achieved by the conventional hardening technique. Typically, the hardened film layer has a dielectric constant (k) of about 2.5 or less, preferably 2.2 or 2 2 10 1282125 or less, and a hardness of more than 0.6 GPa. As for the one or more compounds having at least one cyclic group, "cyclic group" means a cyclic structure herein. The ring structure may include structures as few as three atoms. The atom can be carbon, helium, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and combinations thereof. The cyclic group can include one or more single bonds, double bonds, triple bonds, and combinations thereof. For example, a cyclic group can include one or more aromatic groups, phenyl, cyclohexane, cyclohexadiene, and combinations thereof. The cyclic group may also be a bicyclic ring or a tricyclic ring. Further, the cyclic group is preferably bonded to a straight chain or branched functional group. The linear or branched functional group preferably contains a monoalkyl group or an ethylene alkyl group and has a carbon number of from 1 to 20. The linear or branched functional group may also contain an oxygen atom such as a C-, an ether, and an ester. Some examples of compounds having at least one cyclic group include terpene (oxime), ethenylcyclohexane (VCH), and phenylacetate. Some of the above precursors contain oxygen atoms and therefore do not require the addition of an additional oxidizing agent. However, in any of the embodiments described, one or more oxidizing gases may be required. In embodiments in which one or more oxidizing gases or liquids are desired, it may include oxygen, ozone, nitrous oxide, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, water, hydrogen peroxide, an organic compound containing oxygen atoms, or a combination thereof. . In an embodiment, the oxidizing gas is oxygen. In another embodiment, the oxidizing gas is ozone. When ozone is used as the oxidizing gas, an ozone converter converts about 6% to 20% (oxygen weight ratio) of a gas in a source gas, typically about 15%, into ozone, and the rest is still oxygen. However, the ozone concentration can be adjusted (ie, increased or decreased) depending on the amount of ozone required and the ozone converter used. The one or more oxidizing gas systems are added to the anti-11 1282125 gas mixture to increase reactivity. And it became a carbon content in the children's layer. The deposition of the ultra low dielectric constant film layer may be continuously or discontinuously deposited in a separate deposition chamber. Alternatively, the film layer may be deposited continuously in two or more deposition chambers, for example, in a ProducerTM process chamber combination provided by Applied Materials. The deposited layer has a carbon content of about 5 to 3 atomic percent (except hydrogen atoms), preferably about 5 to 20 atomic percent. The carbon content of the deposited layer means that the atomic analysis of the film structure shows that it does not contain a significant amount of non-bonded hydrocarbon. This carbon content is expressed as a percentage of carbon atoms in the deposited layer and excludes hydrogen atoms which are difficult to quantify. For example, a film having an average of one dream atom, one oxygen source +, one carbon atom, and two hydrogen atoms has a carbon content of about 20 atomic percent (one carbon atom or five carbon atoms per 5 atoms). It is about 33 atomic percent (except for hydrogen atoms, which contains a hydrogen atom). The atom (the film layer can be deposited in any process chamber that can be subjected to chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Referring to Figure i, the edge shows an upright cross-section with parallel cvd _.

When it is located at a higher processing position, one, "color, 1 7 is far more %" The crystal seat 12 and the substrate are read around. The gas system introduced into the gas dispersion manifold 1 1 is radially dispersed to disperse the surface of the material. A vacuum pump 32 with a regulating valve can be controlled. The process chamber 1 passes through the flow rate of the exhaust gas flowing out of the manifold 24. If necessary, the deposition gas and the carrier gas pass through the gas line 18 into the mixing system 1 9, and then enter the gas dispersion manifold 丨i. The process gas supply line 18 includes (i) a safety shut-off port (not shown) for automatically or manually shutting down the process gas flow to the process chamber; and (ii) a flow control device (not shown) for measuring The gas flow rate through the process gas supply line 18.

The one or more fatty organic tellurides are typically introduced into the mixing system 19 at a flow rate of from about 100 to about 1.0 seem, preferably at a flow rate of about 60 Oseem. The one or more fatty hydrocarbons are typically introduced into the mixing system 19 at a flow rate of from about 100 to 1,000 sccm, preferably at a flow rate of about 2,000 sccm. The flow rate of the oxygen-containing gas is generally between about 100 and 6,000 seem, preferably about 1, 〇〇〇 seem. The one or more organic tellurides having one or more unsaturated carbon-carbon bonded hydrocarbon compositions are typically introduced into the mixing system 19 at a flow rate of from about 100 to 1,000 seem. Preferably, the cyclic organic telluride is 1,3,5,7-tetramethyltetranoncyclooctane (TMCTS), octamethyltetradecaneoctane (OMCTS) or a mixture thereof; The organic telluride is trimethylformane, 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldioxane or a mixture thereof; the fatty hydrocarbon is preferably ethylene. In another aspect, the fatty hydrocarbon comprises one or more metastable precursors. The one or more metastable precursors are introduced in an amount from about 1 〇 〇 to 5,0 0 〇 s c c m . Preferably, the metastable precursor is a tert-butyl ether. The deposition process can be a thermal process or a plasma enhanced process. In a plasma enhancement process, an RF energy is applied from the RF power supply 25 to the gas dispersion manifold 11 to produce a plasma adjacent the substrate. Alternatively, RF energy can be supplied to the crystal holder 12. The RF energy in the deposition chamber can be either cyclic or pulsed to reduce heating of the substrate and promote porosity of the deposited layer. The plasma energy density of a 300 mm substrate is between about 14 watts/flat 14 1282125 cm2 and 2.8 watts/cm2, which is equivalent to an RF power of ι〇瓦 to 2000 watts. Preferably, the RF power is between 300 watts and 1700 watts. The power supply 25 can supply a single frequency RF energy from 〇·〇ι MHz to 300 MHz. Alternatively, the RF power supply 25 can also transmit a mixing frequency to enhance the decomposition process of the reactive species entering the high vacuum zone 15.

(between 3 and about 500 ° C, preferably maintained at about 1 Torr. 〇 to about 400 ° C. The deposition pressure is generally between about 托 5 Torr to about 20 Torr, preferably between about 2 Torr to about 8 Torr. / The rate of efflux is typically between about 5,000 person/minute and about 20 000 A/minute. If it is desired that the oxidizing gas system dissociate at a remote location, a microwave chamber 28 can be used. In order to provide energy between about 5 watts and 6 watts of watts to the oxidizing gas before the gas enters the process chamber. The additional microwave energy prevents the organic bismuth compound from being excessively decomposed before reacting with the oxidizing gas. When a microwave energy is applied to an oxidizing gas, it is preferred to use a gas dispersion plate having individual channels for organic telluride and oxidizing gas. Typically, 'any process chamber liner, dispersion Manifolds, crystal holders 12, and various other reactor hardware are made of materials such as aluminum or anodized aluminum. One example of such a CVD chamber is detailed in the United States of America. Patent No. 5, 〇〇〇, 113, entitled "a Thermal CVD/PECVD and 15 1282125 in-situ Multi-Step Planarized Process, and to the assignee of the present application, Applied Materials, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. 14. A gas mixing system 19, and an RF power supply 25. The system controller 34 controls the activity of the CVD process chamber via a hard disk drive, a floppy disk drive, and a car rack. The card holder includes a single Motherboard computer (SBC), analog and digital I/O boards' interface boards and stepper motor control boards. System controllers conform to the dimensions of the motherboard, clip housing and connectors as defined by the Versa Modular Europeans (VME) specification And the VME standard also defines that the structure of the bus bar is a 16-bit data bus and a 24-bit address bus. The pre-processing and method for forming a pre-processed layer of the present invention is not limited to any particular one. Apparatus or any particular plasma excitation method. The above CVD is also described solely for the purpose of illustrating the invention, and those skilled in the art will recognize that an ECR plasma CVD apparatus such as an ECR plasma CVD apparatus can be used. CVD device or The present invention is embodied in a CVD apparatus similar to that of the apparatus. Further, the above-described design, heating design, energy connection design, and the like of the substrate holder are equivalently changed without departing from the spirit of the invention. In the embodiment, when a low dielectric constant film layer is deposited, the film layer is preferably an electron beam. Treatment (e·beam). The electron beam treatment is typically treated with a dose of 1 to 20 electron volts and a dose of 5 〇 to 2 〇〇 microcoulomb/cm 2 (::/(10)”. The electron beam is processed to form a beam of light = to about 45 minutes at about 45 ° C for about 15 minutes, for example about 2 minutes. Preferably, the electron beam treatment (e-beam) is carried out at about 400 ° C for about 2 minutes. 16 1282125 • 5 mA and 5 氩 argon and hydrogen. In one aspect, the conditions of the electron beam include 4.5 kV, i μο/em 2, and 400 ° C. There may be a presence during electron beam processing. Although any type of electron beam apparatus may be used, an exemplary apparatus is an ebk chamber, Applied Materials, Inc. product. Treating the low dielectric constant film layer with an electron beam after deposition of the low dielectric constant film layer will cause at least a portion of the organic groups on the film layer to be volatilized to form pores in the film layer. The organic group which can be volatilized is derived from the organic composition of the foregoing precursor, for example, an organic telluride having one or more unsaturated carbon-carbon bonded hydrocarbons or the said aliphatic hydrocarbon. It is believed that the formation of pores in the film layer reduces the dielectric constant of the film layer. Preferably, the film layer is not deposited at temperatures above 15 Torr because it is believed that high temperatures will render the film layer incapable of incorporating a sufficient amount of volatile organic groups. The details and process of the exemplary e-beam chamber are detailed below. The substrate is transferred by vacuum braking or by vacuum in a vacuum environment (i.e., without a vacuum brake). Figure 2 shows a beam chamber 2 in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. The chamber 2 includes a vacuum chamber 220, a large surface area cathode 222, a target plate 230 located in the field-free zone 238, and a gate 226 between the target plate 230 and the large surface area cathode 222. The e-beam chamber 200 further includes a high potential insulator 224, which can connect the gate 226 and the large surface area cathode 222, a cathode which can cover the insulator 228 outside the vacuum to 220, and can control the pressure in the vacuum chamber 220. The modulating leak valve 232, an adjustable high potential power source 229 coupled to the large surface area cathode 222, and an adjustable low potential power source 23 1 coupled to the gate 226 are isolated. The process chamber may also include a lamp (not shown) that illuminates and heats the substrate, whereby the temperature of the process chamber is 17 1282125. The light can be located under the target & 23〇. Because the material is located in the real-life aid τ V, ^, the soil heating is "isolated, so the substrate can be irradiated by radiation: the part. The light is extinguished and extinguished." The substrate will be radiated away from the heat source. The aging material is gradually cooled by the surface of the environment. During the entire process, the two materials can be simultaneously heated by the lamp and irradiated with electron beam radiation. For example, according to the invention - the embodiment, the infrared quartz lamp is opened Until the substrate temperature reaches the process operating temperature. After that, the lamp is turned off or on in different operating cycles to control the wafer temperature. The substrate is continuously irradiated with electrons until a sufficient dose is accumulated and the substrate has been processed. This technique can harden a thick layer on a substrate in 10 minutes. According to another embodiment of the invention, the substrate is not cured using an infrared lamp. Such an embodiment of the invention is illuminated and heated by an electron beam. In this case, the current product and the current potential (energy = current * potential) are much larger than the energy radiated from the substrate, so the substrate is heated by an electron beam. Further according to the present invention In an embodiment, the substrate is cooled by a cooling plate. This will keep the substrate temperature close to the predetermined temperature. The substrate to be exposed to the electron beam is placed on the target plate 230 during operation. The vacuum chamber 220 is brought close to atmospheric pressure. Under the pressure, the vacuum is started until the pressure is between 1 Torr and about 200 mTorr. The pressure of the vacuum chamber 220 is precisely controlled by the adjustable speed leak valve 232, which can control the pressure to about 〇·1. The electron beam system is generated at a sufficiently high potential which is generated by applying a potential to the large surface area cathode 222 with a high potential power source 229. The potential may range from -500 volts to about 30,000 volts or more. The potential power source 2 2 9 may be a berta η 18 1282125 type #1 05-30R ' manufactured by Bertan of Hickville, New York or a Spellman type #SL30N-1200X258 manufactured by Spellman High Voltage Electronics Corp. The power source 2 3 1 can supply a potential to the gate 2 2 6 , and the potential on the gate 226 is positive relative to the large surface area cathode 222. This potential is used to control the emission from the large surface area cathode 222. The adjustable low potential power supply 231 can be an Acopian type #150 PT21 power supply manufactured by the Acopian of Easton, Pennsylvania. To initiate the emission of the electron beam, the % free zone between the gate 226 and the target plate 23 is free. The gas in 8 must be freed, which may be due to natural gamma rays. It is also possible to artificially initiate electron beam emission in a vacuum chamber with a high potential spark gap. Once initially free, positive ions 342 (as shown in Figure 3) It is attracted to the gate 226 by a slightly negative potential (i.e., a potential applied to the gate 226 between 〇 and _2 volts). These positive ions are accelerated toward the large surface area cathode 222 (by the high potential applied to the large surface area cathode 222) through the acceleration field region 236 (between the large surface area cathode 222 and the gate 226). Upon impact on the large surface area cathode 222, these energetic ions produce electrons 344 which are accelerated toward the gate 226 in the other direction. A portion of this type of electrons flies in the direction of the vertical cathode surface and strikes the gate 226, but most of the electrons 344 pass through the gate 226 and fly to the target plate 230. Gate 226 is preferably disposed at a shorter distance from the mean free path of electrons emitted by large surface area cathode 222. That is, the gate 226 is preferably located within a distance of 4 mm from the large surface area cathode 222. Since the distance between the gate 2 26 and the large surface area cathode 2 2 2 is very short, little or no electrons are freed in the acceleration field region 2 3 6 between the gate 226 and the large surface area cathode 222 19 1282125. come out. In conventional gas discharge devices, electrons create more positive ions in the acceleration field. These positive ions are attracted to the large surface area cathode 222, causing more electrons to be emitted. This discharge phenomenon easily becomes an unstable high-potential discharge that cannot be controlled. However, in accordance with an embodiment of the invention, electrons 342 generated outside of gate 226 can be controlled (repulsed or attracted) by the potential applied to gate 226. In other words, the electron emission phenomenon can be continuously controlled by changing the potential on the gate 226. Alternatively, the electronic launch is controlled by an adjustable leak valve 232 that is configured to increase or decrease the number of molecules located in the free zone between the target plate 23 and the large surface area cathode 222. Applying a positive potential on the gate 226 (i.e., when the gate potential exceeds any positive ion species energy in the space between the target plate 230 and the large surface area cathode 222) can completely interrupt electron emission. Figure 4 shows an e-beam chamber 2 具有 having a feedback control circuit 400. In some applications, a constant electron current with different electron beam energies is provided. For example, the upper layer (rather than the bottom layer) of the deposited film layer on the substrate can be exposed or hardened. This can be achieved by reducing the electron beam energy, so that most of the electrons are adsorbed on the upper layer of the film. After the top layer has been hardened, it is possible to harden all of the film layers. This can be achieved by increasing the acceleration potential of the electron beam so that the electrons completely penetrate the film layer. The feedback control circuit 400 is arranged to maintain a constant electron current that is independent of changes in the acceleration potential. The feedback control circuit 400 includes a rectifier 466. The current is sampled by a sense resistor 490 disposed between the target plate 230 and the rectifier 466. This current can also be sampled at gate 226 because some of the current is intercepted at this 20 1282125. A two-unit increase in electrical hunger 492 can buffer the signal obtained from resistor 490 and feed it back to an amplifier 496 with a target alpha resistor 494. The output of the amplifier, the potential of the gate 220, causes the increased current to cause a false bias potential drop on the gate 226 and a drop in current from the large surface area cathode 222. The resistor 494 adjusts the gain on the amplifier 496 so that any change in current due to the acceleration of the lightning is flattened by the change in the bias voltage, thereby maintaining a constant current on the target. Alternatively, the amplifier 496 #^ ώ in s ^ j out can be connected to a potential-controlled adjustable rate leakage 阙 2 9 8 to eliminate the pressure of the quarantine, the monthly increase or decrease the pressure of the free zone 238 The current produced. In addition, a wide range of current control can be provided by using feedback signals to the adjustable rate leak valve and gate 226.

The process conditions for e-beam processing include the following: The process chamber pressure is between 〇-5 and 102 Torr, preferably between 1 〇-3 and 1 〇·! The distance between the substrate and the gate should be sufficient to allow ions to generate ions as they pass through the gate and substrate surface. The wafer temperature can range from 〇 to l, 〇5 (rc. electron beam energy between 〇) and 1〇〇keV. The total electronic measurement is between 1 and 丨〇〇, 〇〇〇μ(:/( : ιη2. The selected dose and energy will be proportional to the thickness of the film to be treated. The gas environment in the e_beam tool device can be the following gases: nitrogen, hydrogen, argon, helium, ammonia. , decane, gas or a combination of these gases. The e-beam current can range from 〇1 to about 100 mA. Preferably, the e-beam treatment is based on a wide, large bundle of electron beam sources from the 21 212822 area Electron is carried out, the large surface area electron beam source system can cover the surface area of the film layer to be treated. In addition, for the thick film layer, the electron beam can be divided into several low potential steps to provide the film layer from the bottom to the bottom. A uniform process of progressive hardening. Therefore, the depth of electron beam penetration during processing will vary. From 0. 5 minutes to about 120 minutes during processing. Those skilled in the art will be able to understand the time of processing with the beam. Will vary depending on one or more of the above parameters, and specific parameters are not required Excessive experimentation can be routinely obtained. In another embodiment, the operating temperature of the e-beam chamber 200 is between about -200X: to about 600 °C, such as between about 200 ° C and about 400 ° C. The electron beam energy is between about 0.5 keV and about 30 keV. The exposure dose is between about lpc/cm2 to about 4 〇 (^c/cm2, and preferably between about 5 〇pc/cm2 and about 20 (^c/cm2, for example, about 70pc/cm2. The electron beam is generally generated under pressure from 1 mTorr to ι〇〇mTorr. The gas environment of the e-beam chamber 200 may be the following gas: gas Gas, oxygen, hydrogen, argon, a mixture of gas and nitrogen, ammonia, gas or a combination of these gases. The e_beam current can range from 1 milliamperes to about 4 milliamperes, and more preferably between 5 Between milliamperes and about 20 milliamperes. The electron beam can cover an area of from about 4 square feet to about 700 square inches. The following examples show a low dielectric film layer with improved hardness.

Energy of approximately 800 watts at a frequency of 135 56 MHz is applied to the gas dispersion manifold for plasma augmentation/growth processing. The film layer was deposited at a rate of about 12,000 A/min and its dielectric constant (k) value was measured to be about 2.54 at 〇 1 MHz. Thereafter, the film layer is treated by an electron beam apparatus under the following conditions for about 90 shifts, for example, the e-beam chamber 2〇〇 described above. During post-treatment, the process chamber temperature is approximately 400 C, the electron beam energy is approximately 4 keV, and the current is approximately 3 milliamperes. The exposure electron beam dose is about 7〇μ(:/(:ηι2. Then argon gas is introduced into the process chamber + at about i5〇swm/guap speed for the whole hardening process. After pretreatment, the membrane layer is introduced. The electric constant is maintained at the same value, βρ 2·54. The hardness is increased from 〇66 Gpa to the shoulder, for example, as the Young's coefficient of the film increases from 4.2 GPa to 8.3 Gpa. The film thickness threshold is from About 8, the intrusion is increased to 24,00 〇A. Membrane smear, p rain - The leakage current of the membrane shield is reduced by at least i 〇, from 3.46x10 10A/cm ^ 2 to 丨 ear as low as 5.72x10 " A / square centimeter (at about 1 MW cm). The collapse potential of the film layer is increased from about 4.2 MV to 4.7 MV. Further embodiments of the present invention relate to a manufacturing-low-k dielectric constant system, the manufacturing method is here It is called 帛H. The film is made of octamethyltetracycline (OMCTS) as a precursor, dimethyl decane ((CH3)3-SiH), oxygen, 23 1282125 ethylene and helium. Diluent. According to an embodiment of the invention, the process conditions are as follows: the OMCTS flow rate is about 5000 mgm, and the triterpene base gas flow rate is about 6 〇〇 sccr», The gas flow rate is about 1 〇〇〇 seem, the ethylene flow rate is about 2000 seem, the helium flow rate is about 1000 sccm, the process chamber pressure is about 5.75 Torr, the wafer pedestal temperature is about 400 ° C, and the wafer is about 1050 mils from the process gas nozzle. And the Rf power supply is about 800 watts. After reading the specification of the present invention, a person skilled in the art can determine a more suitable deposition condition by simple experiment without undue experimentation. It must be treated as e_beam. The process conditions are as follows: The treatment dose is about 1〇〇pc/cm2, 2 minutes; the process chamber pressure (argon) is about 15亳Torr; the potential is about 4·5 keV; It is 3 milliamperes; and the wafer temperature is about 400. The thickness of the film obtained and the Young's modulus (Y〇ung, sm〇dulus) are improved. For the control of the resistive wafer, the Young's coefficient is from 14ΐ4 ( }ρ increases to about 9.563 Gpa; for a 35e_beam processed wafer, the dielectric constant remains approximately the same (the dielectric constant of the control resist wafer is about 2.52, and the dielectric constant of the wafer of the present invention is It is 2.49), but the Young's coefficient is increased from Q 699Gpa to about 4.902Gpa. About 5 阻 of the wafer is changed to 4889·3 经 by e-beam processing. These results are very important because it shows that the treatment can increase the film with poor mechanical strength without changing other characteristics. The strength of the layer. The fabrication of an integrated circuit containing a number of layers with a mechanically inferior film layer causes some problems. Taking a logic circuit as an example, the logic electrical power is made of a material having a weak mechanical strength, and the pressure is accumulated. In the upper film layer of the circuit, the upper film layer is finally broken due to pressure. In addition to the improvements described above for the e** bundle treatment formulation-II, the wetting angle (Weting an...) of the round treated by the e- 24 1282125 bundle is also reduced; The film layer is more hydrophilic. In particular, the wetting angle is reduced from the controlled retardation (4) (10) to about 40 C of the wafer treated wafer. This is very important because many photoresists are not deposited on the hydrophobic surface.
