Methods for forming high density, conformal, silica nanolaminate films via pulsed deposition layer in structures of confined geometry

摘要

Methods of forming conformal films with increased density are described. The methods may be used to improve gap fill in semiconductor device manufacturing by eliminating seams and voids. The methods involve operating at high reactant partial pressure. Additionally, film properties may be further enhanced by optimizing the temperature of the substrate during exposure to the metal-containing and/or silicon-containing precursor gases commonly used in conformal film deposition techniques such as ALD and PDL.
