Stress of a silicon nitride layer may be enhanced by deposition at higher temperatures. Employing an apparatus that allows heating of a substrate to substantially greater than 400° C. (for example a heater made from ceramic rather than aluminum), the silicon nitride film as-deposited may exhibit enhanced stress allowing for improved performance of the underlying MOS transistor device. In accordance with alternative embodiments, a deposited silicon nitride film is exposed to curing with ultraviolet (UV) radiation at an elevated temperature, thereby helping remove hydrogen from the film and increasing film stress. In accordance with still other embodiments, a silicon nitride film is formed utilizing an integrated process employing a number of deposition / curing cycles to preserve integrity of the film at the sharp corner of the underlying raised feature. Adhesion between successive layers may be promoted by inclusion of a post-UV cure plasma treatment in each cycle.

The present invention generally provides a precleaning process prior to metallization for submicron features on substrates. The method includes cleaning the submicron features with radicals from a plasma of a reactive gas such as oxygen, a mixture of CF4 / O2, or a mixture of He / NF3, wherein the plasma is preferably generated by a remote plasma source and the radicals are delivered to a chamber in which the substrate is disposed.

The present invention relates generally to an improved process for providing complete via fill on a substrate and planarization of metal layers to form continuous, void-free contacts or vias in sub-half micron applications. In one aspect of the invention, a refractory layer is deposited onto a substrate having high aspect ratio contacts or vias formed thereon. A CVD metal layer, such as CVD Al or CVD Cu, is then deposited onto the refractory layer at low temperatures to provide a conformal wetting layer for a PVD Cu. Next, a PVD Cu is deposited onto the previously formed CVD Cu layer at a temperature below that of the melting point temperature of the metal. The resulting CVD / PVD Cu layer is substantially void-free. The metallization process is preferably carried out in an integrated processing system that includes both a PVD and CVD processing chamber so that once the substrate is introduced into a vacuum environment, the metallization of the vias and contacts occurs without the formation of an oxide layer over the CVD Cu layer. The via fill process of the present invention is also successful with air-exposure between the CVD Cu and PVD Cu steps.
