Abstract

See full text

Methods of depositing conformal, dense silicon-containing films having low hydrogen content are provided herein. Methods involve pulsing a plasma while exposing a substrate to a silicon-containing precursor and reactant to facilitate a primarily radical-based pulsed plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition process for depositing a conformal silicon-containing film. Methods also involve periodically performing a post-treatment operation whereby, for every about 20 Å to about 50 Å of film deposited using pulsed plasma PECVD, the deposited film is exposed to an inert plasma to densify and reduce hydrogen content in the deposited film.
