Methods for minimizing as-deposited stress in tungsten silicide films

Processing of substrates in a CVD reactor system wherein tungsten silicide is deposited is accomplished with preflow and postflow of reducing gases before and after deposition steps to ensure that tungsten-rich film is not deposited at the interface of the tungsten silicide film to the substrates or...

Zusammenfassung:Processing of substrates in a CVD reactor system wherein tungsten silicide is deposited is accomplished with preflow and postflow of reducing gases before and after deposition steps to ensure that tungsten-rich film is not deposited at the interface of the tungsten silicide film to the substrates or on the tungsten silicide film at the end of deposition processing. For systems having a remote gas injection and flow control system connected by a gas supply manifold to a CVD reactor chamber, an isolation valve is provided in the gas supply manifold, and the valve is held closed during at least a portion of time between deposition sequences.
