Abstract

See full text

One or more silicon nitride layers are deposited onto a substrate by exposing the surface of the substrate to radicals to activate the surface of the substrate. A silicon-containing first precursor with a high sticking coefficient is injected onto the substrate. A second precursor including molecules each having at least two Si atoms is injected onto the substrate. The first precursor has a higher sticking coefficient than the second precursor. The substrate is treated with nitrogen radicals N* to form multiple layers of silicon nitride per radical exposure. This results in high-quality silicon nitride films with high deposition rate.
