Title:
SILICON NITRIDE FILMS WITH HIGH NITROGEN CONTENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/010279
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Methods for depositing silicon nitride films with higher nitrogen content are described. Certain methods comprise exposing a substrate to a silicon-nitrogen precursor and an ammonia plasma to form a flowable polymer, and then curing the polymer to form a silicon nitride film. Certain methods cure the flowable polymer without the use of a UV-cure process. Also described is the film generated by the methods described above.
