A method for forming a film on a patterned surface of a substrate by atomic layer deposition (ALD) processing includes: adsorbing onto a patterned surface a first precursor containing silicon or metal in its molecule; adsorbing onto the first-precursor-adsorbed surface a second precursor containing no silicon or metal in its molecule; exposing the second-precursor-adsorbed surface to an excited reactant to oxidize, nitride, or carbonize the precursors adsorbed on the surface of the substrate; and repeating the above cycle to form a film on the patterned surface of the substrate.

A silicon dioxide-based dielectric layer is formed on a substrate surface by a sequential deposition/anneal technique. The deposited layer thickness is insufficient to prevent substantially complete penetration of annealing process agents into the layer and migration of water out of the layer. The dielectric layer is then annealed, ideally at a moderate temperature, to remove water and thereby fully densify the film. The deposition and anneal processes are then repeated until a desired dielectric film thickness is achieved.

A method for forming a dielectric film in a trench on a substrate by plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) performs one or more process cycles, each process cycle including: (i) feeding a silicon-containing precursor in a pulse; (ii) supplying a hydrogen-containing reactant gas at a flow rate of more than about 30 sccm but less than about 800 sccm in the absence of nitrogen-containing gas; (iii) supplying a noble gas to the reaction space; and (iv) applying RF power in the presence of the reactant gas and the noble gas and in the absence of any precursor in the reaction space, to form a monolayer constituting a dielectric film on a substrate at a growth rate of less than one atomic layer thickness per cycle.

A method of forming a dielectric film having Si—C bonds and/or Si—N bonds on a semiconductor substrate by cyclic deposition, includes: (i) conducting one or more cycles of cyclic deposition in a reaction space wherein a semiconductor substrate is placed, using a Si-containing precursor and a reactant gas; and (ii) before or after step (i), applying a pulse of RF power to the reaction space while supplying a rare gas and a treatment gas without supplying a Si-containing precursor, whereby a dielectric film having Si—C bonds and/or Si—N bonds is formed on the semiconductor substrate.

The precursor has at least one Si—C or Si—N bond, at least one hydrocarbon, and at least two halogens attached to silicon in its molecule.

A method for forming a dielectric film containing a Si—O bond a trench formed in an upper surface of a substrate, includes: designing a topology of a final dielectric film containing a Si—O bond formed in the trench by preselecting a target portion to be selectively removed relative to a non-target portion of an initial dielectric film resulting in the final dielectric film; conformally depositing the initial dielectric film on the upper surface and in the trench; and relatively increasing an amount of impurities contained in the target portion of the initial dielectric film relative to an amount of impurities contained in the non-target portion of the initial dielectric film to obtain a treated dielectric film, thereby giving the target portion and the non-target portion different chemical resistance properties when subjected to etching.

An anode (14, 208, 410) and/or cathode (12, 212, 420) of a capacitor has a large surface area. The high surface area of the anode is provided by forming the anode from a thin, electrically conductive layer (16) formed from metal particles (18) or an electrically conductive metallic sponge (416). These materials provide a porous structure with a large surface area of high accessibility. The particles are preferably directional or non-directional sponge particles of a metal, such as titanium. The conductive layer hasa dielectric film (36, 236, 414) on its surface, formed by anodizing the particle surfaces. The dielectric film has a combination of high dielectric constant and high dielectric strength. The cathode (12, 212, 420) of the capacitor is either a conventional solid material or, more preferably, has a large surface provided by forming the surface from a sponge or particles analogously to the anode. The high dielectric strengths obtainable from the capacitor allow for extreme miniaturization, making the capacitor particularly suited for integrated circuit applications.

An IR detector in the form of a thermopile including one or more thermocouples on a dielectric membrane supported by a silicon substrate. Each thermocouple is composed of two materials, at least one of which is p-doped or n-doped single crystal silicon. The device is formed in an SOI process. The device is advantageous as the use of single crystal silicon reduces the noise in the output signal, allows higher reproducibility of the geometrical and physical properties of the layer and in addition, the use of an SOI process allows a temperature sensor, as well as circuitry to be fabricated on the same chip. The detector can also have an IR filter wafer bonded onto it and/or have arrays of thermopiles to increase the sensitivity. The devices can also be integrated with an IR source on the same silicon chip and packaged to form a complete and miniaturised NDIR sensor.

A high dielectric film is formed by utilizing atom injection into a film through ion implantation or the like, and heat treatment. For example, an SiO2 film 102 which is a thermal oxide film is formed on a silicon substrate 101, and then Zr ions (Zr+) are injected from a plasma 105 into the SiO2 film 102. Thereafter, by annealing the SiO2 film 102 and a Zr injected layer 103, injected Zr is diffused in the Zr injected layer 103 and then the SiO2 film 102 and the Zr injected layer 103 are as a whole changed into a high dielectric film 106 of a high dielectric constant formed of Zr-Si-O (silicate). By using the high dielectric film 106 as an insulating film for an MISFET, an MISFET having excellent gate leakage properties can be achieved.
