DETAILED DESCRIPTION [0034] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the presented embodiments. The disclosed embodiments may be practiced without some or all of these specific details. In other instances, well-known process operations have not been described in detail to not unnecessarily obscure the disclosed embodiments. While the disclosed embodiments will be described in conjunction with the specific embodiments, it will be understood that it is not intended to limit the disclosed embodiments. [0035] Semiconductor fabrication processes often involve deposition of silicon oxide. However, some methods of depositing silicon oxide may face challenges. [0036] Provided herein are methods and apparatuses for depositing silicon oxide on semiconductor substrates using a silicon-containing precursor in a thermal atomic layer deposition (ALD) process. Silicon-containing precursors may be an aminosilane or halosilane. Methods can be performed in the same tool as used to deposit silicon nitride, resulting in more efficient processes and higher throughput. Certain disclosed embodiments form silicon oxide films with superior properties, such as uniform conformal deposition, conformal deposition in high aspect ratio structures such as structures having an aspect ratio of about 180:1 or more, low impurity content, neutral stress, and controlled deposition. [0037] Techniques described herein involve thermal atomic layer deposition (ALD). That is, in various embodiments, the reaction between an aminosilane or halosilane and an oxygen-containing reactant to form silicon oxide is performed without igniting a plasma. ALD is a technique that deposits thin layers of material using sequential self-limiting reactions. Typically, an ALD cycle includes operations to deliver and adsorb at least one reactant to the substrate surface, and then react the adsorbed reactant with one or more reactants to form the partial layer of film. As another example, a silicon oxide deposition cycle may include the following operations: (i) delivery/adsorption of a silane precursor, (ii) purging of the silane precursor from the chamber, (iii) delivery of an oxygen-containing gas, and (iv) purging of the oxygen-containing gas from the chamber. [0038] Unlike a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique, ALD processes use surface mediated deposition reactions to deposit films on a layer-by-layer basis. In one example of an ALD process, a substrate surface that includes a population of surface active sites is exposed to a gas phase distribution of a first precursor, such as a silicon-containing precursor, in a dose provided to a chamber housing a substrate. Molecules of this first precursor are adsorbed onto the substrate surface, including chemisorbed species and/or physisorbed molecules of the first precursor. It should be understood that when the compound is adsorbed onto the substrate surface as described herein, the adsorbed layer may include the compound as well as derivatives of the compound. For example, an adsorbed layer of a halosilane precursor may include the halosilane precursor as well as derivatives of the halosilane precursor. After a first precursor dose, the chamber is then evacuated to remove most or all of the halosilane precursor remaining in gas phase so that mostly or only the adsorbed species remain. In some implementations, the chamber may not be fully evacuated. For example, the chamber may be evacuated such that the partial pressure of the first precursor in gas phase is sufficiently low to mitigate a reaction. A second reactant, such as an oxygen-containing reactant, is introduced to the chamber so that some of these molecules react with the halosilane precursor adsorbed on the surface. In some processes, the second reactant reacts immediately with the adsorbed halosilane precursor. The chamber may then be evacuated again to remove unbound second reactant molecules. As described above, in some embodiments the chamber may not be completely evacuated. Additional ALD cycles may be used to build film thickness. [0039] In certain embodiments, an ALD first precursor dose partially saturates the substrate surface. In some embodiments, the dose phase of an ALD cycle concludes before the precursor contacts the substrate to evenly saturate the surface. Typically, the precursor flow is turned off or diverted at this point, and only purge gas flows. By operating in this sub saturation regime, the ALD process reduces the cycle time and increases throughput. However, because precursor adsorption is not saturation limited, the adsorbed precursor concentration may vary slightly across the substrate surface. Examples of ALD processes operating in the sub-saturation regime are provided in U.S. Patent Application No. 14/061,587 (now U.S. Patent No. 9,355,839), filed October 23, 2013, titled “SUB-SATURATED ATOMIC LAYER DEPOSITION AND CONFORMAL FILM DEPOSITION,” which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. [0040] In some implementations, ALD methods may include plasma activation. However, in thermal ALD processes described herein, plasma is not ignited. As described herein, the ALD methods and apparatuses described herein may be conformal film deposition (CFD) methods, which are described generally in U.S. Patent Application No. 13/084,399 (now U.S. Patent No.8,728,956), filed April 11, 2011, and titled “PLASMA ACTIVATED CONFORMAL FILM DEPOSITION,” and in U.S. Patent Application No. 13/084,305, filed April 11, 2011, and titled “SILICON NITRIDE FILMS AND METHODS,” which are herein incorporated by reference in their entireties. [0041] Figure 1 is a process flow diagram depicting operations that may be performed in accordance with certain disclosed embodiments. In an operation 102, a substrate is provided to a process chamber. In various embodiments, the process chamber is a single-wafer chamber. In some embodiments, the process chamber is a station within a multi-station chamber. Process conditions described herein are suitable for a single-wafer chamber. [0042] The process chamber may be set to a chamber pressure about 10 mTorr to about 25 Torr or about 10 Torr to about 25 Torr. Such chamber pressures may be used throughout operations 102-116 as described herein. In some embodiments, chamber pressure may be different during different operations. [0043] The substrate may be heated to a substrate temperature about 25°C to about 800°C, or about 500°C to about 700°C, or at least about 650°C during operations 104-112. It will be understood that substrate temperature as used herein refers to the temperature that the pedestal holding the substrate is set at and that in some embodiments, the substrate when provided to the process chamber on the pedestal may be heated to the desired substrate temperature prior to processing the substrate. The substrate temperature may be the same throughout operations 102- 114 as described herein. [0044] The substrate may be any suitable substrate. The substrate may be a silicon wafer, e.g., a 200-mm wafer, a 300-mm wafer, including wafers having one or more layers of material, such as dielectric, conducting, or semi-conducting material deposited thereon. Non-limiting examples of under layers include dielectric layers and conducting layers, e.g., silicon oxides, silicon nitrides, silicon carbides, metal oxides, metal nitrides, metal carbides, and metal layers. In some embodiments, the substrate includes silicon oxide and silicon. In some embodiments, the substrate includes a partially fabricated 3D-NAND structure. [0045] In some embodiments, the feature(s) may have an aspect ratio of at least about 1:1, at least about 2:1, at least about 4:1, at least about 6:1, at least about 10:1, or higher. The feature(s) may also have a dimension near the opening, e.g., an opening diameter or line width of between about 10 nm to 500 nm, for example between about 25 nm and about 300 nm. Disclosed methods may be performed on substrates with feature(s) having an opening less than about 150 nm. A via, trench or other recessed feature may be referred to as an unfilled feature or a feature. According to various embodiments, the feature profile may narrow gradually and/or include an overhang at the feature opening. A re-entrant profile is one that narrows from the bottom, closed end, or interior of the feature to the feature opening. A re-entrant profile may be generated by asymmetric etching kinetics during patterning and/or the overhang due to non-conformal film step coverage in the previous film deposition, such as deposition of a diffusion barrier. In various examples, the feature may have a width smaller in the opening at the top of the feature than the width of the bottom of the feature. [0046] One or more features may have a high aspect ratio, which is defined as having an aspect ratio of greater than about 100:1 or greater than about 150:1 or greater than about 180:1. [0047] In some embodiments, the substrate may be partially fabricated for forming a memory device. In some embodiments, exposed regions of the substrate include silicon-containing surfaces, including but not limited to silicon and silicon oxynitride. [0048] In an operation 104, a silicon-containing precursor is introduced to the process chamber. In particular embodiments, the silicon-containing precursor includes an aminosilane precursor.

[0071] In some embodiments, the silane precursor is a halosilane precursor. A halosilane precursor is defined as a precursor having at least one halogen-containing atom and at least one silicon atom. Halogens include chlorine, fluorine, bromine, and iodine. In some embodiments, the halosilane precursor includes a structure of formula (I): Si(X) ₄ , wherein at least one X includes a halogen atom. [0072] For example, one halosilane is tetrachlorosilane (SiCl ₄ ). Another example of a chemical formula of a halosilane is Si _n X _y H _z where X is a halogen and H is hydrogen; n is an integer greater than or equal to 1 and is equal to the number of Si atoms in the molecule; in some embodiments, y is about 1 to about 4, and z is 4-y. Additional examples include but are not limited to SiHCl ₃ , SiH ₂ Cl ₂ , and SiH ₃ Cl. [0073] Examples of halosilanes are iodosilanes, bromosilanes, chlorosilanes and fluorosilanes. Specific chlorosilanes include but are not limited to tetrachlorosilane, trichlorosilane, dichlorosilane, monochlorosilane, chloroallylsilane, chloromethylsilane, dichloromethylsilane, chlorodimethylsilane, chloroethylsilane, t-butylchlorosilane, di-t-butylchlorosilane, chloroisopropylsilane, chloro-sec-butylsilane, t-butyldimethylchlorosilane, thexyldimethylchlorosilane, and the like. [0074] In some embodiments, the halosilane is carbon-free. In some embodiments, the halosilane is an organic silicon-containing precursor. [0075] In some embodiments, the halosilane precursor (e.g., in formula (I)) has at least one optionally substituted C _1-2 haloalkyl group. Non-limiting haloaliphatic groups include -CX _y H _3-y , wherein y is 1, 2, or 3, and wherein each X is, independently, halo (F, Cl, Br, or I); -CX _z H _2-z CX _y H _3-y , wherein z is 0, 1, or 2, wherein y is 0, 1, 2, or 3, and wherein each X is, independently, halo (F, Cl, Br, or I), in which at least one of z or y is not 0; or -CH ₂ CX _y H ₃ -y, wherein y is 1, 2, or 3, and wherein each X is, independently, halo (F, Cl, Br, or I). Yet other non- limiting haloalkyl groups include fluoromethyl (-CH ₂ F), difluoromethyl (-CHF ₂ ), trifluoromethyl (-CF ₃ ), chloromethyl (-CH ₂ Cl), dichloromethyl (-CHCl ₂ ), trichloromethyl (-CCl ₃ ), bromomethyl (-CH ₂ Br), dibromomethyl (-CHBr ₂ ), tribromomethyl (-CBr3), iodomethyl (-CH ₂ I), diiodomethyl (-CHI ₂ ), triiodomethyl (-CI ₃ ), bromofluoromethyl (-CHFBr), chlorofluoromethyl (-CHFCl), fluoroiodomethyl (-CHFI), 2-fluoroethyl (-CH ₂ CH ₂ F), 2-chloroethyl (-CH ₂ CH ₂ Cl), 2-bromoethyl (-CH ₂ CH ₂ Br), 2-iodoethyl (-CH ₂ CH ₂ I), 2,2-difluoroethyl (-CH ₂ CHF ₂ ), 2,2-dichloroethyl (- CH ₂ CHCl ₂ ), 2,2-dibromoethyl (-CH ₂ CHBr ₂ ), 2,2-diiodoethyl (-CH ₂ CHI ₂ ), 2,2-fluoroiodoethyl (- CH ₂ CHFI), and the like. In particular embodiments, the C _1-2 haloalkyl includes β-halo-substituted ethyl. Yet other haloaliphatic groups include C _1-4 haloalkyl, C _2-4 haloalkenyl, and C _2-4 haloalkynyl. [0076] Flow rate of the halosilane precursor in operation 104 may range from about 100 sccm to about 2000 sccm. Exposure in operation 104 may range from about 0.1 seconds to about 100 seconds. [0077] During operation 104, the chamber pressure may be about 1 Torr to about 25 Torr. [0078] In some embodiments, a carrier gas may be flowed during operation 104. The carrier gas may be an inert gas, such as argon, hydrogen, helium, neon, nitrogen, and combinations thereof. The carrier gas may be diverted such that the carrier gas is used to deliver the ammonia and/or nitrogen gas to the process chamber. In some embodiments, the carrier gas may be provided to assist with pressure and/or temperature control of the process chamber. In some embodiments, the carrier gas is used to ensure more rapid delivery of a gas to the process chamber. In various embodiments, operation 104 is performed once before depositing the silicon-containing dielectric or metal-containing dielectric material on the substrate. [0079] In some embodiments, a dilution gas is used and co-flowed with the halosilane precursor. The dilution gas may be nitrogen gas in some embodiments. The flow rate of the dilution gas may be about 500 sccm to about 20000 sccm. The flow rate ratio of dilution gas to halosilane precursor may be about 0.1:1 to about 10:1. [0080] Operations 104, 106, 108, and 110 may constitute an atomic layer deposition cycle. [0081] In operation 106, the chamber is optionally purged. Purging the chamber may involve flowing a purge gas or a sweep gas, which may be a carrier gas used in other operations or may be a different gas. In some embodiments, purging may involve evacuating the chamber. Examples of purge gases include argon (Ar), nitrogen (N ₂ ), hydrogen (H ₂ ), helium (He), oxygen (O ₂ ), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), neon (Ne), and combinations thereof. In various embodiments, the purge gas is an inert gas. The purge gas may include one or more gases. In some embodiments, operation 106 may include one or more evacuation subphases for evacuating the process chamber. Alternatively, it will be appreciated that operation 106 may be omitted in some embodiments. In some embodiments, increasing a flow rate of one or more purge gases may decrease the duration of operation 106. For example, a purge gas flow rate may be adjusted according to various reactant thermodynamic characteristics and/or geometric characteristics of the process chamber and/or process chamber plumbing for modifying the duration of operation 106. In one non-limiting example, the duration of a purge phase may be adjusted by modulating purge gas flow rate. This may reduce deposition cycle time, which may improve substrate throughput. After a purge, the halosilane molecules remain adsorbed onto the substrate surface. [0082] The flow rate of the purge gas may about 1000 sccm to about 40000 sccm. The duration of operation 106 may be about 0.1 seconds to about 10 seconds. The chamber pressure during operation 106 may be about 0.5 Torr to about 22 Torr. [0083] In operation 108, an oxygen-containing conversion gas is introduced to the process chamber without a plasma to form silicon oxide on a surface of the substrate. The oxygen- containing conversion gas reacts with the halosilane to form silicon oxide. The oxygen-containing conversion gas may be any one or more of oxygen (O ₂ ), nitrous oxide (N ₂ O), and ozone (O ₃ ). In various embodiments, the oxygen-containing conversion gas is flowed using a flow rate of about 100 sccm to about 20000 sccm. The oxygen-containing conversion gas may be optionally co- flowed with an inert gas, such as hydrogen gas. The flow rate of hydrogen gas may be 0 sccm to about 5000 sccm. In some embodiments, the oxygen-containing gas is optionally diluted with a dilution gas, such as nitrogen gas. The flow rate of nitrogen gas may be about 500 sccm to about 20000 sccm. [0084] Operation 108 may be performed for a duration of about 1 second to about 30 seconds. The chamber pressure during operation 108 may be about 5 Torr to about 25 Torr. In various embodiments, a plasma is not ignited during operation 108. In various embodiments, a plasma is not used in any of operations 104, 106, 108, or 110. [0085] In operation 110, the chamber is optionally purged. Purging may be performed using any of the chemistries, methods, and process conditions described above with respect to operation 106. In some embodiments, the chamber is purged using nitrogen as a purge gas. Nitrogen may be flowed at a flow rate of about 1000 sccm to about 40000 sccm. Operation 110 may be performed for a duration of about 0.1 second to about 10 seconds. The chamber pressure may be about 0.5 Torr to about 25 Torr. [0086] In operation 112, the substrate is optionally annealed. Annealing may be performed in situ. During annealing, hydrogen, oxygen gas, or both may be flowed. The flow rate of hydrogen is about 0 sccm to about 5000 sccm. The flow rate of oxygen is about 0 sccm to about 20000 sccm. [0087] In some embodiments, operation 112 involves extending operation 108 to performing for a longer duration such as performing a combined duration of about 0.1 second to about 900 seconds. In some embodiments, operation 108 and 112 are performed at the same temperature. [0088] In some embodiments, operation 112 involves a separate thermal anneal using an oxygen-containing gas and hydrogen gas. In some embodiments, operation 112 involve a separate plasma-based anneal using an oxygen-containing gas and hydrogen gas. The plasma may be generated using a plasma power for a single wafer of about 100W to about 10000W. [0089] In some embodiments, annealing in operation 112 is performed in an external chamber using nitrogen at a temperature of at least about 700°C or at least about 800°C. In some embodiments, annealing in an external chamber is performed in addition to performing an anneal in situ to further tune film properties. [0090] In some embodiments, an optional purge operation 114 may be performed after operation 112. Operation 114 may utilize chemistries, process conditions, and methods such as those described above with respect to operation 106 and 110. [0091] In various embodiments, operations 104-110 are repeated in cycles. It may be determined whether the desired thickness of silicon nitride film has been deposited. If not, operations 104-110 are repeated in sufficient cycles to deposit a desired thickness of silicon oxide. Any suitable number of deposition cycles may be included in an ALD process to deposit a desired film thickness of silicon oxide. For example, about 20 to about 40 deposition cycles may be performed to deposit a silicon nitride film on the substrate using disclosed embodiments. In some embodiments, 20 to 40 depositions are performed. [0092] In each cycle, the amount of thickness of silicon oxide film formed may be about 0.5 Å to about 2 Å. In various embodiments, operations 104-112 are performed in cycles. In some embodiments, operation 112 and optionally operation 114 is performed after numerous cycles of operations 104-110. In various embodiments, operations 104-114 are performed in cycles. [0093] The as-deposited silicon oxide film deposited using certain disclosed embodiments contain very low hydrogen content, very low chlorine content, or both. For example, the atomic hydrogen content of silicon oxide deposited using certain disclosed embodiments may be less than about 0.5% or less than about 0.3%. The atomic chlorine content of silicon oxide deposited using certain disclosed embodiments may be less than about 0.5% or less than about 0.05%. An FTIR of silicon oxide films deposited using certain disclosed embodiments may have no visible -OH peaks. The hydrogen and chlorine content can be further reduced by performing the anneal, or performing anneal at higher temperature or with higher plasma power or for a longer duration. The silicon oxide film may exhibit a high concentration of Si-O bonds and low concentration of carbon. The wet etch rate of silicon oxide films deposited using certain disclosed embodiments in 100:1 HF may be about 2:1 or less as compared to thermal oxide grown at temperatures greater than about 1000°C. [0094] The silicon oxide film may also be modulated to having a desired stress. The stress may be modulated to a tensile film or a compressive film. The stress may be about +50 MPa to about -350 MPa. [0095] In various embodiments, using certain disclosed embodiments, the silicon oxide film has neutral stress. The process conditions that may be modulated to change stress include but are not limited to process conditions of and whether to perform an anneal, and temperature during deposition. Films deposited using certain disclosed embodiments may also exhibit high conformality, such as having a step coverage of at least about 80%, or at least about 90%, or at least about 95%, or at least about 99%. [0096] Certain disclosed embodiments may be used to deposit a high quality silicon oxide material, such as a silicon oxide liner used as a tunnel oxide in 3D-NAND memory storage. Certain disclosed embodiments are useful to form tunnel oxide layers in 3D-NAND memory fabrication to replace or supplement deposition of silicon nitride followed by converting the silicon nitride to a silicon oxide, which involves multiple fabrication operations and can involve multiple tools, as certain disclosed embodiments can be used to improve efficiency and increase throughput. Certain disclosed embodiments address problems converting silicon nitride to silicon oxide which may cause induced stress due to the volumetric expansion of the film in features in a semiconductor substrate. Some current processes may be performed in a furnace, which may also utilize extremely high temperatures, long cycle times, and limited tunability; in contrast, certain disclosed embodiments allow wide tunability windows for obtaining different film properties APPARATUS [0097] Figure 2 depicts a schematic illustration of an embodiment of an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process station 200 having a process chamber body 202 for maintaining a low-pressure environment. In various embodiments, a single process station 200 is implemented in a tool such as shown in Figure 3. In some embodiments, a plurality of ALD process stations 200 may be included in a common low pressure process tool environment. For example, Figure 4 depicts an embodiment of a multi-station processing tool 400. In some embodiments, one or more hardware parameters of ALD process station 200 including those discussed in detail below may be adjusted programmatically by one or more computer controllers 250. [0098] ALD process station 200 fluidly communicates with reactant delivery system 201a for delivering process gases to a showerhead 206. Reactant delivery system 201a includes a mixing vessel 209 for blending and/or conditioning process gases, such as a silicon-containing precursor gas, or oxygen-containing gas, for delivery to showerhead 206. One or more mixing vessel inlet valves 220 may control introduction of process gases to mixing vessel 204. One or more valves 205 may control introduction of gases to the showerhead 206. [0099] As an example, the embodiment of Figure 2 includes a vaporization point 203 for vaporizing liquid reactant to be supplied to the mixing vessel 204. In some embodiments, vaporization point 203 may be a heated vaporizer. The saturated reactant vapor produced from such vaporizers may condense in downstream delivery piping. Exposure of incompatible gases to the condensed reactant may create small particles. These small particles may clog piping, impede valve operation, contaminate substrates, etc. Some approaches to addressing these issues involve purging and/or evacuating the delivery piping to remove residual reactant. However, purging the delivery piping may increase process station cycle time, degrading process station throughput. Thus, in some embodiments, delivery piping downstream of vaporization point 203 may be heat traced. In some examples, mixing vessel (not shown) may also be heat traced. In one non-limiting example, piping downstream of vaporization point 203 has an increasing temperature profile extending from approximately 40°C to approximately 55°C or from about 60°C to about 65°C at mixing vessel. [0100] In some embodiments, liquid precursor or liquid reactant may be vaporized at a liquid injector. For example, a liquid injector may inject pulses of a liquid reactant into a carrier gas stream upstream of the mixing vessel. In one embodiment, a liquid injector may vaporize the reactant by flashing the liquid from a higher pressure to a lower pressure. In another example, a liquid injector may atomize the liquid into dispersed microdroplets that are subsequently vaporized in a heated delivery pipe. Smaller droplets may vaporize faster than larger droplets, reducing a delay between liquid injection and complete vaporization. Faster vaporization may reduce a length of piping downstream from vaporization point 203. In one scenario, a liquid injector may be mounted directly to mixing vessel. In another scenario, a liquid injector may be mounted directly to showerhead 206. [0101] In some embodiments, a liquid flow controller (LFC) upstream of vaporization point 203 may be provided for controlling a mass flow of liquid for vaporization and delivery to ALD process station 200. For example, the LFC may include a thermal mass flow meter (MFM) located downstream of the LFC. A plunger valve of the LFC may then be adjusted responsive to feedback control signals provided by a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller in electrical communication with the MFM. However, it may take one second or more to stabilize liquid flow using feedback control. This may extend a time for dosing a liquid reactant. Thus, in some embodiments, the LFC may be dynamically switched between a feedback control mode and a direct control mode. In some embodiments, this may be performed by disabling a sense tube of the LFC and the PID controller. [0102] Showerhead 206 distributes process gases toward substrate 212. In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, the substrate 212 is located beneath showerhead 206 and is shown resting on a pedestal 208. Showerhead 206 may have any suitable shape, and may have any suitable number and arrangement of ports for distributing process gases to substrate 212. [0103] In some embodiments, pedestal 208 may be raised or lowered to expose substrate 212 to a volume between the substrate 212 and the showerhead 206. It will be appreciated that, in some embodiments, pedestal height may be adjusted programmatically by a suitable computer controller 250. [0104] In another scenario, adjusting a height of pedestal 208 may allow a plasma density to be varied during plasma activation in the process in embodiments where a plasma is ignited. At the conclusion of the process phase, pedestal 208 may be lowered during another substrate transfer phase to allow removal of substrate 212 from pedestal 208. [0105] In some embodiments, pedestal 208 may be temperature controlled via heater 210. In some embodiments, the pedestal 208 may be heated to a temperature of about 25°C to about 800°C, or about 200°C to about 700°C, during deposition of silicon oxide films as described in disclosed embodiments. In some embodiments, the pedestal is set at a temperature of about 25°C to about 800°C, or about 200°C to about 300°C. In some embodiments, the same pedestal 208 is used for subsequent annealing. [0106] Further, in some embodiments, pressure control for ALD process station 200 may be provided by butterfly valve 218. As shown in the embodiment of Figure 2, butterfly valve 218 throttles a vacuum provided by a downstream vacuum pump (not shown). However, in some embodiments, pressure control of ALD process station 200 may also be adjusted by varying a flow rate of one or more gases introduced to the ALD process station 200. [0107] In some embodiments, a position of showerhead 206 may be adjusted relative to pedestal 208 to vary a volume between the substrate 212 and the showerhead 206. Further, it will be appreciated that a vertical position of pedestal 208 and/or showerhead 206 may be varied by any suitable mechanism within the scope of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, pedestal 208 may include a rotational axis for rotating an orientation of substrate 212. It will be appreciated that, in some embodiments, one or more of these example adjustments may be performed programmatically by one or more suitable computer controllers 250. [0108] In some embodiments where plasma may be used as discussed above, showerhead 206 and pedestal 208 electrically communicate with a radio frequency (RF) power supply 214 and matching network 216 for powering a plasma. For example, plasma may be used for treating a silicon oxide surface prior to depositing silicon nitride. In some embodiments, the plasma energy may be controlled by controlling one or more of a process station pressure, a gas concentration, an RF source power, an RF source frequency, and a plasma power pulse timing. For example, RF power supply 214 and matching network 216 may be operated at any suitable power to form a plasma having a desired composition of radical species. Examples of suitable powers are about 150W to about 10000W for a single-station chamber. For a 4-station chamber, the plasma power may include four generators each powered up to about 10000W, for a total of about 40000W. For annealing a silicon oxide film , the substrate may be exposed to a nitrogen-containing gas, or a mixture of nitrogen-containing gases and optional inert gases while igniting a plasma using the RF power supply 214 and matching network 216. [0109] In some embodiments, the substrate may be exposed to nitrogen-containing gas while igniting a plasma to anneal silicon oxide using plasma powers such as between about 500W and about 10000W per surface area of a 300mm wafer. The plasma may be generated remotely (such as in a remote plasma generator) or directly in a chamber housing the substrate (i.e. in situ). RF power supply 214 may provide RF power of any suitable frequency. In some embodiments, RF power supply 214 may be configured to control high- and low-frequency RF power sources independently of one another. Example low-frequency RF frequencies may include, but are not limited to, frequencies between 0 kHz and 500 kHz. Example high-frequency RF frequencies may include, but are not limited to, frequencies between 1.8 MHz and 2.45 GHz, or greater than about 13.56 MHz, or greater than 27 MHz, or greater than 30 MHz, or greater than 60 MHz. It will be appreciated that any suitable parameters may be modulated discretely or continuously to provide plasma energy for the surface reactions. [0110] In some embodiments, the plasma may be monitored in-situ by one or more plasma monitors. In one scenario, plasma power may be monitored by one or more voltage, current sensors (e.g., VI probes). In another scenario, plasma density and/or process gas concentration may be measured by one or more optical emission spectroscopy sensors (OES). In some embodiments, one or more plasma parameters may be programmatically adjusted based on measurements from such in-situ plasma monitors. For example, an OES sensor may be used in a feedback loop for providing programmatic control of plasma power. It will be appreciated that, in some embodiments, other monitors may be used to monitor the plasma and other process characteristics. Such monitors may include, but are not limited to, infrared (IR) monitors, acoustic monitors, and pressure transducers. [0111] In some embodiments, instructions for a controller 250 may be provided via input/output control (IOC) sequencing instructions. In one example, the instructions for setting conditions for a process phase may be included in a corresponding recipe phase of a process recipe. In some cases, process recipe phases may be sequentially arranged, so that all instructions for a process phase are executed concurrently with that process phase. In some embodiments, instructions for setting one or more reactor parameters may be included in a recipe phase. For example, a first recipe phase may include instructions for setting a flow rate of a halosilane gas, instructions for setting a flow rate of a carrier gas (such as argon), and time delay instructions for the first recipe phase. A second recipe phase may include modulating or stopping a flow rate of an inert and/or a reactant gas, instructions for setting a flow rate of a carrier gas (such as argon), and time delay instructions for a second recipe phase. A third, subsequent recipe phase may include instructions for modulating or stopping a flow rate of an inert and/or a reactant gas, and instructions for modulating a flow rate of an oxygen-containing gas and time delay instructions for the third recipe phase. A fourth recipe phase may include instructions for modulating or stopping a flow rate of an inert and/or a reactant gas, instructions for modulating the flow rate of a carrier or purge gas, and time delay instructions for the fourth recipe phase. A fifth, subsequent recipe phase may include instructions for modulating or stopping a flow rate of an inert and/or a reactant gas, instructions for heating or igniting a plasma, and instructions for modulating a flow rate of a carrier or purge gas and time delay instructions for the fifth recipe phase. It will be appreciated that these recipe phases may be further subdivided and/or iterated in any suitable way within the scope of the disclosed embodiments. In some embodiments, the controller 250 may include any of the features described below with respect to system controller 350 of Figure 3 and system controller 450 of Figure 4. [0112] A process station may be included in a single-station chamber or single-chamber tool such as shown in Figure 3. Figure 3 depicts an example processing apparatus according to disclosed embodiments. Tool 300 includes a processing chamber 314 which includes a processing station 390 may process a wafer. The processing chamber 314 is configured to deposit silicon oxide, deposit silicon nitride, anneal substrates using thermal or plasma anneals, and the like. [0113] Tool 300 also includes a wafer transfer unit configured to transport wafers within the tool 300. Additional features of tool 300 will be discussed in greater detail below, and various features are discussed here with respect to some of the described techniques. In the depicted illustration, the wafer transfer unit includes a first robotic arm unit 326 in a first wafer transfer module and a second robotic arm unit 306 in a second wafer transfer module that may be considered an equipment front end module (EFEM) configured to received containers for wafers, such as a front opening unified module (FOUP) 308. The first robotic arm unit 326 is configured to transport a wafer between the processing chamber 314 and the second robotic arm unit via module 304 which may hold multiple wafers such as shown in module 302 with substrate 312. The second robotic arm unit 306 is configured to transport the wafer between a FOUP and module 304, or from module 302 to FOUP. After a wafer has been prepared in the module 304, the wafer transfer unit is able to transfer the wafer to first processing chamber 314 for deposition and optional anneal in situ. [0114] Similar to above, the first wafer transfer module may a vacuum transfer module (VTM). Airlock or module 304, also known as a loadlock, is shown and may be individually optimized to perform various fabrication processes. The tool 300 also includes a FOUP 308 that is configured to lower the pressure of the tool 300 to a vacuum or low pressure, e.g., between about 1 mTorr and about 10 Torr, and maintain the tool 300 at this pressure. This includes maintaining the processing chamber 314, and the first wafer transfer module at the vacuum or low pressure. The second wafer transfer module may be at a different pressure, such as atmospheric. As the wafer is transferred throughout the tool 300, it is therefore maintained at the vacuum or low pressure. [0115] In a further example, a substrate is placed in one of the FOUPs 308 and the second robot arm unit 306, or front-end robot, transfers the substrate from the FOUP 318 to an aligner, which allows the substrate to be properly centered before it is etched, or deposited upon, or otherwise processed. After being aligned, the substrate is moved by the second robot arm unit 306 into the airlock module 304. Because airlock modules have the ability to match the environment between an ATM and a VTM, the substrate is able to move between the two pressure environments without being damaged. From the airlock module 304, the substrate is moved by the first robot arm unit 326 through the first wafer transfer module, or VTM, and into the processing chamber 314. In order to achieve this substrate movement, the first robot arm unit 326 uses end effectors on each of its arms. [0116] Figure 3 also depicts an embodiment of a system controller 350 employed to control process conditions and hardware states of process tool 300. System controller 350 may include one or more memory devices 356, one or more mass storage devices 354, and one or more processors 352. Processor 352 may include a CPU or computer, analog and/or digital input/output connections, stepper motor controller boards, etc. In some embodiments, system controller 350 includes machine-readable instructions for performing operations such as those described above with respect to Figure 2 and below with respect to Figure 4. [0117] As described above, one or more process stations may be included in a multi-station processing tool. Figure 4 depicts an example processing apparatus according to disclosed embodiments. Tool 400 includes a first processing chamber 402 and a second processing chamber 404. The first processing chamber 402 includes a plurality of processing stations, four stations 480A–D, that each may process a wafer. The first processing chamber 402 is configured to perform plasma treatment operations on the wafers. The second processing chamber 404 is configured to perform deposition on the wafer and may be considered a deposition chamber. The second processing chamber 404 also includes a plurality of processing stations, four stations 482A–D, that each may process a wafer. The first and second processing chambers 402 and 404 may be considered multi-station processing chambers. [0118] Tool 400 also includes a wafer transfer unit configured to transport one or more wafers within the tool 400. Additional features of tool 400 will be discussed in greater detail below, and various features are discussed here with respect to some of the described techniques. In the depicted illustration, the wafer transfer unit includes a first robotic arm unit 408 in a first wafer transfer module 410 and a second robotic arm unit 412 in a second wafer transfer module 414 that may be considered an equipment front end module (EFEM) configured to received containers for wafers, such as a front opening unified module (FOUP) 416. The first robotic arm unit 408 is configured to transport a wafer between the first processing chamber 402 and the second processing chamber 404, and between the second the second robotic arm unit 412. The second robotic arm unit 412 is configured to transport the wafer between a FOUP and the first robotic arm unit 408. After a wafer has been treated in the first processing chamber 402, the wafer transfer unit is able to transfer the wafer from the first processing chamber 402, to the second processing chamber 404 where one or more layers of encapsulation material may be deposited on one or more wafers. [0119] Similar to above, the first wafer transfer module 410 may a vacuum transfer module (VTM). Airlock 420, also known as a loadlock or transfer module, is shown and may be individually optimized to perform various fabrication processes. The tool 400 also includes a FOUP 416 that is configured to lower the pressure of the tool 400 to a vacuum or low pressure, e.g., between about 1 mTorr and about 10 Torr, and maintain the tool 400 at this pressure. This includes maintaining the first and second processing chambers 402 and 404, and the first wafer transfer module 410 at the vacuum or low pressure. The second wafer transfer module 414 may be at a different pressure, such as atmospheric. As the wafer is transferred throughout the tool 400, it is therefore maintained at the vacuum or low pressure. For example, as the wafer is transferred from the first processing chamber 402, into the first wafer transfer module 410, and to the second processing chamber 404, the wafer is maintained at the vacuum or low pressure and not exposed to atmospheric pressure. [0120] In a further example, a substrate is placed in one of the FOUPs 418 and the second robot arm unit 412, or front-end robot, transfers the substrate from the FOUP 418 to an aligner, which allows the substrate to be properly centered before it is etched, or deposited upon, or otherwise processed. After being aligned, the substrate is moved by the second robot arm unit 412 into the airlock 420. Because airlock modules have the ability to match the environment between an ATM and a VTM, the substrate is able to move between the two pressure environments without being damaged. From the airlock 420, the substrate is moved by the first robot arm unit 408 through the first wafer transfer module 410, or VTM 410, and into the first processing chamber 402. In order to achieve this substrate movement, the first robot arm unit 408 uses end effectors on each of its arms. [0121] Figure 4 also depicts an embodiment of a system controller 429 employed to control process conditions and hardware states of tool 400. System controller 429 may include one or more memory devices (not shown), one or more mass storage devices (not shown), and one or more processors (not shown). Processors may include a CPU or computer, analog, and/or digital input/output connections, stepper motor controller boards, etc. [0122] In some embodiments, system controller 429 controls all of the activities of tool 400. System controller 429 executes system control software stored in mass storage device, loaded into memory device, and executed on processor. Alternatively, the control logic may be hard coded in the system controller 429. Applications Specific Integrated Circuits, Programmable Logic Devices (e.g., field-programmable gate arrays, or FPGAs) and the like may be used for these purposes. In the following discussion, wherever “software” or “code” is used, functionally comparable hard coded logic may be used in its place. System control software may include instructions for controlling the timing, mixture of gases, gas flow rates, chamber and/or station pressure, chamber and/or station temperature, wafer temperature, target power levels, RF power levels, substrate pedestal, chuck and/or susceptor position, and parameters of a particular process performed by tool 400. System control software may be configured in any suitable way. For example, various process tool component subroutines or control objects may be written to control operation of the process tool components used to carry out various process tool processes. System control software may be coded in any suitable computer readable programming language. [0123] In some embodiments, system control software may include input/output control (IOC) sequencing instructions for controlling the various parameters described above. Other computer software and/or programs stored on mass storage device and/or memory device associated with system controller 429 may be employed in some embodiments. Examples of programs or sections of programs for this purpose include a substrate positioning program, a process gas control program, a pressure control program, a heater control program, and a plasma control program. [0124] A substrate positioning program may include program code for process tool components that are used to load the substrate onto pedestal and to control the spacing between the substrate and other parts of tool 400. [0125] A process gas control program may include code for controlling gas composition (e.g., silicon-containing precursor gases, nitrogen-containing gases, carrier gases, inert gases, and/or purge gases as described herein) and flow rates and optionally for flowing gas into one or more process stations prior to deposition in order to stabilize the pressure in the process station. A pressure control program may include code for controlling the pressure in the process station by regulating, for example, a throttle valve in the exhaust system of the process station, a gas flow into the process station, etc. [0126] A heater control program may include code for controlling the current to a heating unit that is used to heat the substrate. Alternatively, the heater control program may control delivery of a heat transfer gas (such as helium or nitrogen) to the substrate. [0127] A plasma control program may include code for setting RF power levels applied to the process electrodes in one or more process stations in accordance with the embodiments herein. [0128] A pressure control program may include code for maintaining the pressure in the reaction chamber in accordance with the embodiments herein. [0129] In some embodiments, there may be a user interface associated with system controller 429. The user interface may include a display screen, graphical software displays of the apparatus and/or process conditions, and user input devices such as pointing devices, keyboards, touch screens, microphones, etc. [0130] In some embodiments, parameters adjusted by system controller 429 may relate to process conditions. Non-limiting examples include process gas composition and flow rates, temperature, pressure, plasma conditions (such as RF bias power levels), etc. These parameters may be provided to the user in the form of a recipe, which may be entered utilizing the user interface. [0131] Signals for monitoring the process may be provided by analog and/or digital input connections of system controller 429 from various process tool sensors. The signals for controlling the process may be output on the analog and digital output connections of tool 400. Non-limiting examples of process tool sensors that may be monitored include mass flow controllers, pressure sensors (such as manometers), thermocouples, etc. Appropriately programmed feedback and control algorithms may be used with data from these sensors to maintain process conditions. [0132] System controller 429 may provide program instructions for implementing the above- described deposition processes. The program instructions may control a variety of process parameters, such as DC power level, RF bias power level, pressure, temperature, etc. The instructions may control the parameters to operate in-situ deposition of film stacks according to various embodiments described herein. [0133] The system controller 429 will typically include one or more memory devices and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions so that the apparatus will perform a method in accordance with disclosed embodiments. Machine-readable media containing instructions for controlling process operations in accordance with disclosed embodiments may be coupled to the system controller 429. [0134] In some implementations, the system controller 429 is part of a system, which may be part of the above-described examples. Such systems can include semiconductor processing equipment, including a processing tool or tools, chamber or chambers, a platform or platforms for processing, and/or specific processing components (a wafer pedestal, a gas flow system, etc.). These systems may be integrated with electronics for controlling their operation before, during, and after processing of a semiconductor wafer or substrate. The electronics may be referred to as the “controller,” which may control various components or subparts of the system or systems. The system controller 429, depending on the processing conditions and/or the type of system, may be programmed to control any of the processes disclosed herein, including the delivery of processing gases, temperature settings (e.g., heating and/or cooling), pressure settings, vacuum settings, power settings, radio frequency (RF) generator settings, RF matching circuit settings, frequency settings, flow rate settings, fluid delivery settings, positional and operation settings, wafer transfers into and out of a tool and other transfer tools and/or load locks connected to or interfaced with a specific system. [0135] Broadly speaking, the system controller 429 may be defined as electronics having various integrated circuits, logic, memory, and/or software that receive instructions, issue instructions, control operation, enable cleaning operations, enable endpoint measurements, and the like. The integrated circuits may include chips in the form of firmware that store program instructions, digital signal processors (DSPs), chips defined as application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), and/or one or more microprocessors, or microcontrollers that execute program instructions (e.g., software). Program instructions may be instructions communicated to the system controller 429 in the form of various individual settings (or program files), defining operational parameters for carrying out a particular process on or for a semiconductor wafer or to a system. The operational parameters may, in some embodiments, be part of a recipe defined by process engineers to accomplish one or more processing steps during the fabrication of one or more layers, materials, metals, oxides, silicon, silicon dioxide, surfaces, circuits, and/or dies of a wafer. [0136] The system controller 429, in some implementations, may be a part of or coupled to a computer that is integrated with, coupled to the system, otherwise networked to the system, or a combination thereof. For example, the system controller 429 may be in the “cloud” or all or a part of a fab host computer system, which can allow for remote access of the wafer processing. The computer may enable remote access to the system to monitor current progress of fabrication operations, examine a history of past fabrication operations, examine trends or performance metrics from a plurality of fabrication operations, to change parameters of current processing, to set processing steps to follow a current processing, or to start a new process. In some examples, a remote computer (e.g. a server) can provide process recipes to a system over a network, which may include a local network or the Internet. The remote computer may include a user interface that enables entry or programming of parameters and/or settings, which are then communicated to the system from the remote computer. In some examples, the system controller 429 receives instructions in the form of data, which specify parameters for each of the processing steps to be performed during one or more operations. It should be understood that the parameters may be specific to the type of process to be performed and the type of tool that the system controller 429 is configured to interface with or control. Thus as described above, the system controller 429 may be distributed, such as by including one or more discrete controllers that are networked together and working towards a common purpose, such as the processes and controls described herein. An example of a distributed controller for such purposes would be one or more integrated circuits on a chamber in communication with one or more integrated circuits located remotely (such as at the platform level or as part of a remote computer) that combine to control a process on the chamber. [0137] Without limitation, example systems may include a plasma etch chamber or module, a deposition chamber or module, a spin-rinse chamber or module, a metal plating chamber or module, a clean chamber or module, a bevel edge etch chamber or module, a physical vapor deposition (PVD) chamber or module, a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) chamber or module, an ALD chamber or module, an atomic layer etch (ALE) chamber or module, an ion implantation chamber or module, a track chamber or module, and any other semiconductor processing systems that may be associated or used in the fabrication and/or manufacturing of semiconductor wafers. [0138] As noted above, depending on the process step or steps to be performed by the tool, the system controller 429 might communicate with one or more of other tool circuits or modules, other tool components, cluster tools, other tool interfaces, adjacent tools, neighboring tools, tools located throughout a factory, a main computer, another controller, or tools used in material transport that bring containers of wafers to and from tool locations and/or load ports in a semiconductor manufacturing factory. [0139] An appropriate apparatus for performing the methods disclosed herein is further discussed and described in U.S. Patent Application Nos. 13/084,399 (now U.S. Patent No.8,728,956), filed April 11, 2011, and titled “PLASMA ACTIVATED CONFORMAL FILM DEPOSITION”; and 13/084,305, filed April 11, 2011, and titled “SILICON NITRIDE FILMS AND METHODS,” each of which is incorporated herein in its entireties. [0140] The apparatus/process described herein may be used in conjunction with lithographic patterning tools or processes, for example, for the fabrication or manufacture of semiconductor devices, displays, LEDs, photovoltaic panels and the like. Typically, though not necessarily, such tools/processes will be used or conducted together in a common fabrication facility. Lithographic patterning of a film typically includes some or all of the following operations, each operation enabled with a number of possible tools: (1) application of photoresist on a workpiece, i.e., substrate, using a spin-on or spray-on tool; (2) curing of photoresist using a hot plate or furnace or UV curing tool; (3) exposing the photoresist to visible or UV or x-ray light with a tool such as a wafer stepper; (4) developing the resist so as to selectively remove resist and thereby pattern it using a tool such as a wet bench; (5) transferring the resist pattern into an underlying film or workpiece by using a dry or plasma-assisted etching tool; and (6) removing the resist using a tool such as an RF or microwave plasma resist stripper.
