Abstract:
A substrate processing system comprising:a housing defining a process chamber; a substrate bolder, adapted to hold a substrate during substrate processing; a heater, operatively coupled to heat said substrate holder; a gas delivery system configured to introduce gases into said process chamber; a power supply, configured to deliver energy to said process chamber; a controller for controlling said gas delivery system and said heater; and a memory coupled to said controller comprising a computer-readable medium having a computer-readable program embodied therein for directing operation of said controller, said computer-readable program including a first set of instructions to control said gas delivery system to flow a process gas comprising ozone and an organosilane having at least one silicon-carbon bond into the substrate processing chamber and control said heater to heat the substrate holder to a temperature of between 100-250Â° C.; a second set of instructions to control said heater to cure the carbon-doped silicon oxide layer after it is formed over the substrate; and a third set of instructions to control said gas delivery system and said power supply to generate a plasma for densifying the carbon-doped silicon oxide layer after said curing.
