A remote plasma (also downstream plasma or afterglow plasma) is a plasma processing method in which the plasma and material interaction occurs at a location remote from the plasma in the plasma afterglow.

Remote plasma based deposition of silicon carbide films using silicon-containing and carbon-containing precursors

A doped or undoped silicon carbide film can be deposited using a remote plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique. One or more silicon-containing precursors are provided to a reaction chamber. Radical species, such as hydrogen radical species, are provided in a substantially low energy state or ground state and interact with the one or more silicon-containing precursors to deposit the silicon carbide film. A co-reactant may be flowed with the one or more silicon-containing precursors, where the co-reactant is a carbon-containing precursor and each silicon-containing precursor is a silane-based precursor with at least a silicon atom having two or more hydrogen atoms bonded to the silicon atom.

Apparatus and methods for performing an in-situ etch of reaction chambers with fluorine-based radicals

An apparatus and method for cleaning or etching a molybdenum film or a molybdenum nitride film from an interior of a reaction chamber in a reaction system are disclosed. A remote plasma unit is utilized to activate a halide precursor mixed with an inert gas source to form a radical gas. The radical gas reacts with the molybdenum film or the molybdenum nitride film to form a by-product that is removed from the interior of the reaction chamber by a purge gas.
